Patent number: 9389616Abstract: Provided is a driving force control device for a four-wheel-drive vehicle that can evade an occurrence of excessive understeer and oversteer in situations unintended by the driver, by appropriately controlling driving forces to be distributed to sub-drive wheels. The driving force distribution device of the four-wheeled vehicle controls driving force to be distributed to the rear wheels (Wr, Wr) by the clutch (10) for front-and-rear torque distribution so that the wheels (Wf, Wf) are main drive wheels and the rear wheels (Wr, Wr) are sub-drive wheels. The driving force distribution device is adapted to perform control to restrict the upper limit of the four-wheel drive torque based upon an estimated driving force and steering angle of the vehicle, when calculating four-wheel drive torque to be distributed to the rear wheels (Wr, Wr) by the driving force distribution device (10).Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2012Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventors: Ryuichi Murakami, Jiro Hara, Nor Hairuddin, Yusuke Sakaguchi, Naoharu Takatani

Patent number: 8996267Abstract: A driving force control device for a four-wheel-drive vehicle performs, by controlling the driving force that is allocated to the rear wheels by a front and rear torque allocation clutch that is arranged between a propeller shaft and a rear diff, the control of setting front wheels as primary drive wheels and rear wheels as auxiliary drive wheels. A control is performed to disable the allocation of driving force to the rear wheels by disengaging the front and rear torque allocation clutch, when the state that the difference in wheel speed between the left and right rear wheels is equal to or more than 80 km continues for 0.1 sec or longer in the state that the vehicle body speed is equal to or less than 120 km.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2012Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yusuke Sakaguchi, Kouji Ono, Ryuichi Murakami

Patent number: 6793055Abstract: A torque cam mechanism comprises first and second cam members disposed relatively rotatably around a common axis and cam balls adapted to fit in first and second cam grooves formed, respectively, in confronting surfaces of the first and second cam members. The depth of the first cam grooves is made larger than the radius of the cam balls, whereas the depth of the second cam grooves is made smaller than the radius of the cam balls, whereby even though a centrifugal force is applied to the cam balls which rotate together with the first and second cam members, the generation of thrust forces for separating the confronting surfaces of the first and second cam members can be suppressed by receiving the centrifugal force so applied to the cam balls by the first cam grooves which are deeper.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2002Date of Patent: September 21, 2004Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Tomoaki Kasuya, Kentaro Arai, Kazuhiro Wada, Kenichiro Hayashi, Ryuichi Murakami, Katsuhiro Kitamura

Patent number: 6454068Abstract: A four-wheel drive vehicle having a first hydraulic pump operated in operative association with the rotation of front wheels, and a second hydraulic pump operated in operative association with the rotation of rear wheels, such that a difference in rotational speed is produced between the front and rear wheels, a multi-plate clutch is brought into its engaged state by a hydraulic pressure generated by the hydraulic pumps, whereby the mode of the vehicle is shifted into a four-wheel drive mode. A torque cam mechanism is disposed between a clutch piston and clutch plates, so that when the difference in rotational speed is produced between the front and rear wheels, the torque cam mechanism produces an axial thrust force immediately to promptly bring the multi-plate clutch into its engaged state. The engagement of the multi-plate clutch is achieved with a sufficient engagement force by the hydraulic pressure thereafter produced by the hydraulic pump.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2001Date of Patent: September 24, 2002Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kentaro Arai, Ryuichi Murakami, Susumu Takahashi, Yasunori Arai

Patent number: 6427817Abstract: An electromagnetic clutch having a solenoid coil (80), a coil housing (81) disposed surrounding the solenoid coil (80), an armature plate (82) disposed facing the side of the coil housing, and a clutch mechanism. The current flowing to the solenoid coil (80) is controlled so as to control the clamping of the armature plate (82) to the coil housing (81), and the clamping force acting on the armature plate is used to control the engagement of the clutch mechanism. There is also a lubricating oil supply channel (63) for supplying lubricating oil from the inside in the radial direction into a gap between the coil housing and the armature plate, and oil reservoir holding lubricating oil to be supplied into the gap is formed around the inner periphery of the portion where the coil housing faces the armature plate.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2000Date of Patent: August 6, 2002Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kentaro Arai, Ryuichi Murakami, Yasunori Arai, Tetsuro Hamada

Patent number: 6054826Abstract: Backward movement of a heavy motorcycle is assisted by a starter motor for cranking an engine of the motorcycle. A backward drive control system includes a pulse width modulation circuit for supplying operating current to the starter motor in a controlled manner and a device for estimating operating temperature of the starter motor based on the current supplied to the starter motor. When the estimated temperature reaches a predetermined maximum temperature, the operation of the starter motor is compulsorily stopped and prohibited for a certain period or until the starter motor is cooled down to a certain temperature level. Overheating of the starter motor is effectively prevented without using a temperature sensor for measuring the operating temperature.Moreover, chattering of the starter motor does not occur because its operation is prohibited for a certain period after the starter motor is once compulsorily stopped.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 1999Date of Patent: April 25, 2000Assignee: Denso CorporationInventors: Ryuichi Murakami, Akira Shinoda, Hiroo Utsumi, Kazunori Ozawa
