  • Patent number: 11940007
    Abstract: A tube is used in fiber-reinforced plastic power transmission shaft. The tube comprises: a cylindrical body section; a connection portion that has a larger diameter than the body section; and an inclined portion that has an outer diameter that increases toward the second connection section from the main body part. The inclined section has formed thereon, a weak section that is damaged when a load input in the axial direction exceeds a prescribed value. With this configuration, the cost of the tube can be reduced, and when a prescribed load is input to the tube in the axial direction, the tube is reliably damaged.

  • Patent number: 11885375
    Abstract: A tubular body of a power transmission shaft made of fiber-reinforced plastic is provided with a cylindrical main body portion, and a second connection portion continuous with an end portion of the main body portion and to which a stab shaft is joined. The main body portion is formed with a weak portion which fails when a load input in the direction of an axial line exceeds a predetermined value. A linear rupture portion is formed on an outer peripheral surface of the weak portion. In the present configuration, cost reduction and weight reduction of the tubular body are made possible, and the tubular body fails infallibly when a predetermined load is input to the tubular body in the direction of the axial line.

  • Publication number: 20240014754
    Abstract: An electric motor control method is an control method which is capable of selecting a first mode or a second mode as a control mode for controlling an operation of the electric motor according to an operating state of the electric motor. The method, when the second mode is selected as the control mode, stops a part of processing in the first mode, and continuously executes other processing including integral calculation except for the part of processing in the first mode. Also, the method, when the control mode is switched from the second mode to the first mode, starts the part of processing by using at least one control value obtained by continuing the other processing.
