  • Patent number: 7189177
    Abstract: An electrically operated vehicle drive controller used with an electrically operated machine, an output shaft differentially rotatably connected to an engine and the electrically operated machine, and a differential rotating unit having a first differential rotating element connected to the electrically operated machine, a second differential rotating element connected to the output shaft, a third differential rotating element connected to the engine, a rotating body rotatably arranged on a support shaft in one of the first to third differential rotating elements and meshed with the other two differential rotating elements, and an engine control processor that controls the operation of the engine on the basis of the rotating speed of the rotating body. Because the operation of the engine is controlled on the basis of the rotating speed of the rotating body, it is possible to prevent the rotating speed of the rotating body from becoming higher than an upper limit value.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6551082
    Abstract: In an oil-free type screw compressor including a low-pressure-stage compressor main body and a high-pressure-stage compressor main body, when the power of an motor is transmitted to an oil pump via a gear to start the pump, the lubrication oil stored in an oil sump formed at the bottom of a gear casing flows through an oil strainer. A part of the oil is introduced to an oil cooler, while the rest is introduced to a junction portion by bypassing the oil cooler. Further, a part of the oil introduced to the oil cooler is directed to the junction portion. After adjusting the temperature of the oil appropriately, it is introduced to a lubrication portion of the compressor, while the oil cooled by the oil cooler using the full capacity thereof is introduced to oil jackets of the compressor main bodies via different passages.
