  • Patent number: 8302889
    Abstract: A fuel injection valve has a valve body for opening and closing a valve seat, and receives an operation signal from a control unit to operate the valve body so that fuel is injected from a plurality of injection holes formed in an injection hole plate welded through a welded portion to a downstream side of the valve seat while passing through a gap between the valve body and the valve seat. The injection hole plate is formed at its central portion with a convex portion which is substantially axisymmetric with respect to a valve seat axis and which has a circular-arc shaped cross section, and the welded portion is also substantially axisymmetric with respect to the valve seat axis.

  • Patent number: 7671584
    Abstract: The present invention attains downsizing of a permanent magnet with a simple structure to reduce a manufacturing cost thereof. Provided is a rotation angle detection device, including: a cylindrical magnetic circuit mounted to a shaft; and non-contact sensors provided in an inner void of the magnetic circuit, in which the magnetic circuit is composed of a first yoke and a second yoke formed of a magnetic material and having a pair of flat portions parallel and opposed to each other, and a pair of permanent magnets whose magnetic poles are aligned in the same direction so that magnetic fields whose magnetic fluxes are parallel to each other are generated in the void between the flat portions, and the non-contact sensor detects a rotation angle of the shaft by detecting a change in the direction of the magnetic fluxes.

  • Patent number: 7370669
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electromagnetic valve in which a force due to a working fluid from an inflow hole acting perpendicularly with respect to the axis of a shut-off valve is reduced to thereby reduce the sliding resistance of the shut-off valve. An electromagnetic valve according to the present invention includes: a housing (10) having an inflow hole (11), an inner flow path (12), and a discharge hole (13); a valve seat (15) secured in position inside the housing (10); a shut-off valve (16) adapted to abut one surface of the valve seat (15) to shut off the working fluid flowing into the inner flow path (12) through the inflow hole (11); and a pressure regulating valve (17) provided coaxially with the shut-off valve (16) and adapted to control, through adjustment of the dimensions of a gap between itself and the other surface of the valve seat (15), the amount of working fluid flowing to the exterior of the housing (10) through the discharge hole (13).

  • Publication number: 20050184727
    Abstract: A rotation angle detection device is simple in structure and is capable of reducing the size of a permanent magnet. The permanent magnet is fixedly secured to a rotating member. A first guide member is attached at one end face to an S pole side of the permanent magnet. A second guide member is attached at one end face to an N pole side of the permanent magnet, and has its tip end disposed in opposition to a tip end of the first guide member. A magnetoresistive member is disposed in a space between the tip ends of the first and second guide members, the magnetoresistive member being fixedly attached to a non-rotating member. An angle of rotation of the rotating member is detected by detecting a change of the azimuth of magnetic flux, which is generated by the permanent magnet in the space, by means of the magnetoresistive member.

  • Patent number: 6867584
    Abstract: In a non-contact type rotation-angle sensing device, a rotation angle sensor (9) having magnetoresistance elements detects a rotation angle of an object to be measured. The object is rotatable round a rotary shaft (2) with respect to the rotation angle sensor (9) and includes a permanent magnet (5, 6). The permanent magnet (5, 6) is disposed symmetrically about said rotary shaft (2) of said object, and a magnetic element (7, 8) is disposed on said object between said permanent magnet (5, 6) and the magnetoresistance elements. In the non-contact type rotation-angle sensing device of above constitution according to the invention, linearity is secured by reducing magnetic hysteresis of the sensor output with respect to the rotation angle, thus a small-sized permanent magnet and reduction in cost being achieved.
