  • Publication number: 20220112933
    Abstract: A protruding portion includes a fitting portion to which an outer periphery of a cylinder is fitted. When the cylinder and a closing member are assembled into an outer cylinder, a length from a contact portion to one end side end portion of the outer cylinder is longer than a length from the other end side end portion of the cylinder to one end side end portion on an outer peripheral side of the closing member. A length from one end side end surface of the protruding portion to the contact portion is longer than a difference between the length from the contact portion of a bottom portion to one end side end portion of the outer cylinder and the length from the other end side end portion of the cylinder to one end side end portion on the outer peripheral side of the closing member.

  • Publication number: 20220088983
    Abstract: The present invention provides a shock absorber serving as a cylinder device capable of securing a clearance between an outer tube and a peripheral member and improving bending rigidity of the outer tube. An outer tube 104 housing an inner tube 103 is provided with a pair of knuckle bracket fastening plates 110a and 110b protruding in one direction from an outer surface of the outer tube 104. The pair of knuckle bracket fastening plates 10a and 110b has wide surfaces facing each other, and the wide surfaces are provided along an axial direction of the outer tube 104.

  • Patent number: 10576815
    Abstract: Provided is a rotary electric machine housing and a rotary electric machine equipped with the same. The housing allows the reduction of press fitting force required in each of two press fitting steps and has a high cooling effect. This rotary electric machine housing includes an internal cylinder 10 allowing press fitting of a stator 20 along an inner diameter end of the internal cylinder. The internal cylinder 10 has an internal cylinder-side tapered face on its outer diameter end surface. The housing further includes an external cylinder 11 having an external cylinder-side tapered face on an inner diameter end of the external cylinder. The external cylinder-side tapered face fits onto the internal cylinder-side tapered face.

  • Patent number: 10404131
    Abstract: A dynamo-electric machine reduces the increase in temperature of a stator close to a cooling liquid outlet and a stator end portion, and that has excellent cooling performance. The dynamo-electric machine is provided with: a stator, a rotor that is held on the inner-diameter-side of the stator across a predetermined gap so as to be capable of rotating; and a housing that is located on the outer-diameter-side of the stator and holds the stator and the rotor. The housing is provided with a cooling liquid channel through which a cooling liquid flows, the radial height of the cooling liquid channel within the housing differing depending on the axial position of the rotor.

  • Patent number: 10153109
    Abstract: To provide a gas circuit breaker having a space-saving reliable double motion mechanism having a high degree of freedom in design. A double motion mechanism section of the gas circuit breaker is formed of a drive-side connecting rod, a driven-side connecting rod, levers connecting them and a guide regulating operations of the drive-side connecting rod and the driven-side connecting rod. A movable pin is connected to a first grooved cam formed in the drive-side connecting rod, a second grooved cam formed in the guide and third grooved cams formed in the levers respectively, and posture holding members are provided in the movable pin. The movable pin moves in the respective grooved cams by an operation of the drive-side connecting rod, thereby rotating the levers, driving the driven-side connecting rod in an opposite direction of the drive-side connecting rod, and driving the driven-side arcing contact in an opposite direction of the driven-side arcing contact.

  • Patent number: 9870884
    Abstract: To provide a gas circuit breaker having a space-saving and highly reliable double motion mechanism with high design freedom. In a double motion mechanism of the gas circuit breaker, a driven side movable pin is communicated with a lever driven side hole cut in the opposite side with respect to a rotation axis of a lever. A round hole through which a driving side movable pin is inserted and an elongate hole through which the driven side movable pin is inserted are cut in the outside of the lever. A position retaining member to suppress rotation of the driving side movable pin about two axes vertical to a pin axis is provided. The driving side movable pin is moved in respective grooved cams with an operation of the driving side rod, to rotate the lever, drive the driven side connecting rod in an opposite direction to the driving side connecting rod, and drive the driven side arcing contact in an opposite direction to the driving side arcing contact.
