  • Publication number: 20250035115
    Abstract: A male rotor of a screw compressor has a cooling flow path extending in an axial direction inside a discharge-side shaft section. A groove structure is provided at at least a part of a region on a wall surface of the cooling flow path between the position of a discharge-side end face of the male rotor and a mounting position of a discharge-side bearing. The groove structure includes grooves or a groove that has a lengthwise component in a circumferential direction of the screw rotor and that are spaced apart in the axial direction. A nozzle which is a stationary member is arranged inside the cooling flow path with a gap between the nozzle and the wall surface of the cooling flow path. The nozzle is arranged in such a manner as to overlap at least a part of the groove structure in the axial direction.

  • Publication number: 20230332591
    Abstract: Provided is an air compressor that suppresses a rise in delivery temperature due to a change in atmospheric pressure, and consequently improves the life of parts. The air compressor 1 includes a motor 2, a compressor main body 3 driven by the motor 2 to compress air, a delivery pressure sensor 12 that senses a delivery pressure of the compressor main body 3, an atmospheric pressure sensor 13 that senses an atmospheric pressure, and a controller 15. The controller 15 compares the delivery pressure sensed by the delivery pressure sensor 12 with a set pressure, and performs operation control based on a result of the comparison. The controller 15 corrects the set pressure such that a ratio between the atmospheric pressure sensed by the atmospheric pressure sensor 13 and the set pressure becomes a set value set in advance.

  • Patent number: 11739835
    Abstract: Disclosed is lateral pressure control of a continuously variable transmission (CVT) with a transmission ratio changed by changing groove widths of a drive pulley and a driven pulley, a drive force from a drive source being transmitted to a wheel. A control part controlling respective lateral pressures of the drive pulley and the driven pulley is provided. The control part sets an increase correction amount of the lateral pressure of the drive pulley to a first lateral pressure increase correction amount if the CVT is not in an in-gear state or a shift position is consistent with a traveling direction of the vehicle, and, sets said amount to a second lateral pressure increase correction amount smaller than the first lateral pressure increase correction amount if the CVT is in the in-gear state and the shift position is not consistent with the traveling direction of the vehicle.
