  • Publication number: 20250178121
    Abstract: A combined machining apparatus includes a memory storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the combined machining apparatus to perform operations. The operations include reading a machining program to determine a working tool to be called by the machining program, and determining whether the working tool is a cutting tool or a friction stir welding tool. The operation include allowing correction of a position of the working tool based on the temperature detected by a temperature sensor when the working tool is determined to be the cutting tool, and allowing correction of the position of the working tool based on the load applied to a motor that rotates the working tool when the working tool is determined to be the friction stir welding tool.

  • Patent number: 12179587
    Abstract: An accelerator device includes a case provided on a floor, a pad arranged outside the case to be stepped on by a driver, a pedal arranged in the case to be rotatable in an accelerator opening direction by a stepping force of the pad, an arm connecting the pad to the pedal, and a biasing member configured to bias the pedal in an accelerator closing direction. One end of the arm is press-fitted into a connecting portion of the pad in a press-fitting direction. At least one of the arm or the pad is provided with a play removing part that is configured to eliminate a play between the one end of the arm and the connecting portion in the press-fitting direction by contacting the one end of the arm and the connecting portion.

  • Patent number: 12151555
    Abstract: An accelerator device includes a pedal lever, a reaction force adjuster and a controller. The pedal lever operates according to a stepping operation. The reaction force adjuster is driven by an actuator, and is capable of adjusting a reaction force that is a force in a direction of pushing back the pedal lever. The controller includes a target operation amount setting unit and a drive control unit. The target operation amount setting unit sets a target operation amount, which is an operation amount of the pedal lever according to a vehicle speed. The drive control unit controls a drive of the actuator. The controller controls the reaction force according to the target operation amount so that the operation amount of the pedal lever is within a target range when switching from an automatic drive to a manual drive.

  • Patent number: 12145441
    Abstract: A pedal device comprises a brake pedal, an accelerator pedal, a support member and an adjusting device. The brake pedal is operated to be depressed by a leg of a passenger, and an operation amount of a depressing operation of the brake pedal is transmitted as an electrical signal. The accelerator pedal is operated to be depressed by a leg of the passenger, and an operation amount of a depressing operation of the accelerator pedal is transmitted as an electrical signal. The support member is connected with the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal, respectively, to support the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal in a rotatable manner. The adjusting device adjusts a position or a posture of the pedal unit including the brake pedal, the accelerator pedal, and the support member.

  • Patent number: 12103094
    Abstract: A hydraulic actuation device includes a tool, an actuation part having a pressure oil supply mechanism configured to send pressure oil from an oil chamber to the tool and return return oil from the tool to the oil chamber, an operation handle for adjusting oil passages for the pressure oil and the return oil in the pressure oil supply mechanism and configured to be able to be moved from an initial position, and biasing means configured to bias the operation handle toward the initial position when no external force is applied to the operation handle. When the operation handle moves from the initial position, the tool is actuated by the actuation part. When the operation handle is returned to the initial position by the biasing means, operation of the tool by the actuation part is stopped.
