Patent number: 11024476Abstract: A push-button switch may include a housing, an operation unit, a lock lever unit, a transmission mechanism, a movement regulating portion, a contact mechanism, and a first biasing portion. The movement regulating portion enables movement of a lever body to a second position when an end of the operation unit on a housing portion side is positioned at an initial position, and disables movement of the lever body to the second position when the end of the operation unit on the housing portion side is positioned closer to an operation surface than the initial position in a movable direction. The first biasing portion biases the plunger from an operating position toward a return position.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2018Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: OMRON CORPORATIONInventors: Tadahiko Ogawa, Kazuaki Morita, Yusuke Komoguchi, Masami Nishida

Patent number: 11011325Abstract: A push button switch may include a housing, an operation unit, and, a lock lever unit. A lever body of the lock lever unit may have a locking portion capable of locking one end of a long jig in an extending direction. The housing may have a fulcrum projection that contacts an intermediate portion of the jig having the one end locked to a locking portion when the lever body is moved using the jig, and serves as a rotation fulcrum of the jig.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2018Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: OMRON CORPORATIONInventors: Kazuaki Morita, Yusuke Komoguchi, Tadahiko Ogawa, Masami Nishida

Patent number: 11008970Abstract: A control device for controlling an engine provided with a fuel pump including a pressurizing chamber, a plunger inserted into the pressurizing chamber and which changes a volume of the pressurizing chamber, and an on-off valve configured to open and close a suction port, is provided. When a pressurizing cycle consists of a period of pressurizing stroke in which the volume of the pressurizing chamber is reduced to allow fuel to be pressurized and a period of suction stroke in which the volume of the pressurizing chamber is increased to allow fuel to be drawn into the pressurizing chamber, a closing cycle of the on-off valve is controlled so that a ratio of the closing cycle to the pressurizing cycle becomes smaller in a second combustion mode where a partial compression-ignition combustion is performed than in a first combustion mode where SI combustion is performed.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2020Date of Patent: May 18, 2021Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Masami Nishida, Toru Miyamae, Shigeki Yamashita, Kazuhiro Takemoto, Michio Ito, Kazuhiro Nishimura, Yusuke Kawai, Tetsuya Chikada, Tatsuhiro Tokunaga

Patent number: 11002215Abstract: A controller for controlling a fuel injection valve and a fuel pressure adjustment mechanism integrates a deposition amount of deposits per unit time, and estimates a deposition amount of deposits on an injection hole of the fuel injection valve. The controller causes the fuel pressure adjustment mechanism to increase a fuel pressure, when the estimated deposition amount exceeds a predetermined value, and corrects the unit deposition amount acquired by the deposition amount estimation according to the set fuel injection timing of the fuel injection valve. The controller corrects such that as compared with the unit deposition amount when the fuel injection timing is set to a first timing away from a top dead center of the piston by a first period, the unit deposition amount decreases when the fuel injection timing is set to a second timing away by a second period longer than the first period.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2020Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: Mazda Motor CorporationInventors: Kazuhiro Takemoto, Michio Ito, Masanari Sueoka, Kazuhiro Nishimura, Kouji Hadama, Masataka Sumita, Masami Nishida

Patent number: 10998150Abstract: A push-button switch may include a housing, a plunger, an operation unit, a transmission mechanism, a contact mechanism, and a biasing portion. The plunger may have a first plunger that is disposed in series with the first plunger. The first plunger and the second plunger may be movable independently of each other. The contact mechanism may be configured to be opened/closed by movement of the second plunger.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2018Date of Patent: May 4, 2021Assignee: OMRON CORPORATIONInventors: Tadahiko Ogawa, Kazuaki Morita, Yusuke Komoguchi, Masami Nishida

Patent number: 10910174Abstract: A push-button switch may include a housing, an operation unit, a lock lever unit, and a biasing portion. A lever support portion may be connected to the operation unit so as to be movable together with the operation unit when a lever body is positioned at a second position. The housing may have a deformation portion that, when the operation unit is pulled in an opening direction when the lever body is positioned at the second position, deforms the lever body so as to be capable of releasing the pressing to the lever body by a holding unit.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2018Date of Patent: February 2, 2021Assignee: OMRON CORPORATIONInventors: Kazuaki Morita, Yusuke Komoguchi, Tadahiko Ogawa, Masami Nishida
