Patent number: 8993181Abstract: A valve-closing pressure chamber and a valve-opening pressure chamber are arranged on both sides of a main diaphragm inside an outlet shutoff valve. An upper supply/discharge tube and a lower supply/discharge tube are connected to a housing forming the outlet shutoff valve. The upper and lower supply/discharge tube supply and discharge air to and from the valve-closing pressure chamber and the valve-opening pressure chamber, respectively. An opening end, which is on the pressure chamber side, of each supply/discharge tube is obliquely cut relative to the direction of axis of the supply/discharge tube, which increases the opening area of the opening end. This prevents water present in the pressure chamber from adhering to the opening end of each supply/discharge tube and prevents the adhered water from freezing. As a result, operation performance of the outlet shutoff valve is enhanced.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2012Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Masahiro Takeshita

Patent number: 8469332Abstract: A valve-closing pressure chamber and a valve-opening pressure chamber are arranged on both sides of a main diaphragm inside an outlet shutoff valve. An upper supply/discharge tube and a lower supply/discharge tube are connected to a housing forming the outlet shutoff valve. The upper and lower supply/discharge tube supply and discharge air to and from the valve-closing pressure chamber and the valve-opening pressure chamber, respectively. An opening end, which is on the pressure chamber side, of each supply/discharge tube is obliquely cut relative to the direction of axis of the supply/discharge tube, which increases the opening area of the opening end. This prevents water present in the pressure chamber from adhering to the opening end of each supply/discharge tube and prevents the adhered water from freezing. This in turn prevents the opening end of the supply/discharge tube from being closed or the opening area from being reduced. As a result, operation performance of the outlet shutoff valve is enhanced.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2007Date of Patent: June 25, 2013Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Masahiro Takeshita

Publication number: 20130089801Abstract: A fuel cell system is equipped with an airflow meter that measures an amount of a supplied cathode gas, and a hydrogen circulation pump. A controller instructs the fuel cell to perform a preset reference operation, measures the power consumed by the hydrogen circulation pump, and determines the amount of the supplied cathode gas appropriate for the amount of power consumed by the hydrogen circulation pump. The controller then calculates, the measurement error in the airflow meter and correction value for the measurement error. The controller controls the amount of the supplied cathode gas based on the value measured by the airflow meter after being corrected with the correction value.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2011Publication date: April 11, 2013Applicant: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Masahiro Takeshita, Nobukazu Mizuno

Patent number: 8343680Abstract: A shutoff value provided on the entrance side and exit side of a fuel cell system has a diaphragm. A valve closing-side pressure chamber is provided on the upper face side of the diaphragm, and a valve opening-side pressure chamber is provided on the lower face side of the diaphragm. With the valve closing-side pressure chamber of the shutoff valve pressurized, the pressure in the chamber is maintained by ViS, Vic, and ViO in an electrically non-conducted state. Also, the pressure in the valve opening-side pressure chamber of the shutoff valve is maintained released. By this, force acting in the direction of closing a valving element acts on it through the diaphragm, maintaining the shutoff valve closed.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2007Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yasuhiro Osada, Tetsuya Bono, Masahiro Takeshita

Patent number: 8227143Abstract: A fuel cell system has shutoff valves installed between an air flow channel in a fuel cell and the atmosphere. The shutoff valves have valve seats and also have valve discs for sealing in air by coming into contact with the valve seats. The valve discs are adapted to be sucked toward the valve seats by negative pressure in the air flow channel in the fuel cell. The fuel cell system further has an atmosphere release valve installed between the air flow channel in the fuel cell and the shutoff valve and releasing negative pressure in the air flow channel in the fuel cell to the atmosphere. When the fuel cell is started, the shutoff valves are opened after the negative pressure in the air flow channel of the fuel cell is released. Consequently, sealing ability of the shutoff valves when the fuel cell is stopped is improved, and easiness of opening of the shutoff valves when the fuel cell is started is also improved.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2008Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masahiro Takeshita, Hiroyuki Yumiya, Katsuki Ishigaki
