  • Patent number: 8987638
    Abstract: An engine driven welding machine in which a welding generator is driven by an engine, and the engine performs an idle operation when a welding operation is stopped by including an engine stop signal forming circuit which forms a stop signal for stopping an operation of the engine when time of the idle operation exceeds a predetermined time, a direct-current power supply connected to an output terminal of the welding machine, voltage detecting means which detects a voltage change of the output terminal, a restart detecting circuit which forms a restart signal for restarting the engine when the detected voltage by the voltage detecting means shows a predetermined change mode for starting the welding operation, and an engine control circuit which stops the engine in response to the stop signal, and restarts the engine in response to the restart signal.

  • Patent number: 7015677
    Abstract: An automatic voltage regulator of a generator with a function for suppressing an overshoot which regulator keeps an output voltage at a predetermined voltage by controlling exciting currents of the generator with turning a switching device on and off, and comprises a voltage detection means for detecting the output voltage of the generator; a deviation calculation means for calculating a deviation for a target with respect to a detected detection voltage; an integral-value calculation means for calculating an integral value of the deviation; and a pulse signal calculation means for calculating the pulse width based on an integral coefficient, a proportional coefficient, the deviation, and its integral value, and for outputting said pulse width as a pulse signal, wherein when before voltage establishment the detection voltage is not less than the first reference voltage, the target voltage is replaced with the set voltage; and wherein the switching device inputs the pulse signal calculated by the pulse signal

  • Patent number: 6985821
    Abstract: An apparatus for calculating an effective voltage is provided, which includes a voltage reducer, an analogue to digital converter, a first detector, a second detector and a calculator. The voltage reducer steps down instantaneous output voltages of a generator. The analogue to digital converter converts each analogue signal of the instantaneous output voltages into a digital signal. The first detector detects a first signal of digitized instantaneous output voltage. The second detector detects a second signal, which differs in terms of phase by 120 deg. from the first signal. The calculator calculates an effective voltage according to the first and second signals, by executing a calculation with an expression: E={2(Va2+VaVb+Vb2)/3}1/2, where E represents the effective voltage, Va the first signal of instantaneous output voltage and Vb the second signal, respectively.
