  • Publication number: 20220316487
    Abstract: A rotating body is shorter in radial direction than in axial direction. The inner circumferential surfaces of a first bearing and a second bearing are fixed at an outer circumferential surface of the shaft member. In the axial direction, the outer diameter of the shaft member is substantially the same from a part, of the shaft member, opposing the first bearing to a part, of the shaft member, opposing the second bearing, and the inner and outer diameters of the rotating body are substantially the same from an end part, of the rotating body, on the first bearing side to an end part, of the rotating body, on the second bearing side. In the axial direction, one of stators is disposed at a central part (C1) of the shaft member, one of magnets is disposed at a central part (C2) of the rotating body.

  • Patent number: 6437538
    Abstract: An apparatus for measuring battery voltage is provided that can detect battery voltage with high accuracy, and also can be miniaturized with cost and noise reduced. The apparatus comprises: a capacitor which is charged to the voltage of each module, switches which connect and disconnect this capacitor and the module, a voltage follower which outputs the voltage across the capacitor, and switches which connect and disconnect the voltage follower and the capacitor. For the aforementioned switches, photo MOSFETs are used. Furthermore, to prevent discharge from the capacitor, a voltage follower is installed. Therefore, by using not a complicated circuit but inexpensive and simple elements, a low cost and miniaturized apparatus for measuring battery voltage is realized.

  • Patent number: 6255826
    Abstract: The present invention provides a battery voltage measuring device capable of immediately detecting a breakage in the voltage measuring line in a battery voltage measuring device that detects the battery voltage. In blocks formed by connecting a plurality of secondary batteries in series, voltage sensors that detect the voltage of each block are respectively provided. In addition, before these voltage sensors noise filters are provided, and in addition, a measuring line breakage detecting resistor for detecting a breakage in the voltage measuring line is connected in parallel to each block. In a battery voltage measuring device having this type of structure, in the case that the voltage measuring line Q is broken, the voltage values V1 and V2 detected by the voltage sensors 20-1 and 20-2 become voltage values that accompany the resistance ratio of the measuring line breakage detecting resistors 60-1 and 60-2.

  • Patent number: 5834910
    Abstract: An AC motor controlling apparatus which can exactly control the torque of an AC motor throughout a motor rotating speed range from low to high.A control mode selecting circuit 13 actuates a switching circuit 19 for allowing an exciting circuit 12 to receive a PWM signal S11 from a current feedback circuit 11 when the rotating speed Nm of the motor 1 is in a higher range, and a PWM signal from an AND gate 14 when it is in a lower range. A power feedback circuit 10 performs a feedback control for matching the power supplied to an inverter circuit 6 to a target power. The current feedback circuit 11 performs a feedback control for matching the phase currents to a target currents.

  • Patent number: 4696273
    Abstract: An ignition timing control method for an internal combustion engine wherein a plurality of correction values for ignition timing are stored in memory means beforehand as a function of an output voltage from a variable voltage creating means which is humanly adjustable and the rotational speed of the engine. The output voltage from the variable voltage creating means and the rotational speed of the engine are detected, and one of the correction values is read, which corresponds to the detected output voltage and the detected rotational speed of the engine. Then, the ignition timing is corrected by the use of the read one correction value. Further, a value of a parameter indicative of load on the engine is detected, and the ignition timing control is executed when the detected value of the parameter is above a predetermined value. Alternatively, in place of the correction values, address values are stored in memory means.
