Patent number: 10389290Abstract: A motor control apparatus applied to a structure in which a plurality of synchronous motors connected in parallel and mechanically coupled to each other is driven by a single power converter, includes a vector control unit and an abnormality detection unit. The vector control unit divides a current flowing in/out the synchronous motors into a q-axis current and a d-axis current and individually controls the divided currents based on a q-axis current command value and a d-axis current command value. The abnormality detection unit detects whether at least one synchronous motor is wrongly wired or is disconnected based on a q-axis inductance, the q-axis current command value, a rotation speed of the synchronous motors, and a d-axis voltage command value.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2016Date of Patent: August 20, 2019Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Makoto Higashino, Satoru Terashima

Patent number: 9742333Abstract: To achieve smooth switching of control without fluctuations in speed and torque, an excitation current command is allowed to transit linearly or in accordance with the function of speed between a value under sensorless vector control and a value under low-speed region control in accordance with a speed command or estimated speed in a speed region where the control is switched or in an adjacent speed region where sensorless vector control is performed. Therefore, abrupt variations in excitation current are reduced before and after the switching of the control.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2016Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Yoshiyuki Amemiya, Satoru Terashima

Patent number: 5409978Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the continuous preparation of heat-vulcanizing silicone rubber compounds. The method comprises continuous feeding of (A) 100 weight parts polydiorganosiloxane gum, (B) 5 to 100 weight parts reinforcing filler, and (C) up to 30 weight parts processing aid to a co-rotating twin-screw continuous compounding extruder. The components (A), (B), and (C) are continuously mixed in the extruder at a temperature in a range of about 200.degree. C. to 300.degree. C. The mixed components are then discharged, forming an extrudate. The extrudate is fed continuously to a counter-rotating twin-screw continuous compounding extruder, wherein the extrudate is continuously heat-treated at a temperature in a range of 150.degree. C. to 300.degree. C., forming the silicone rubber compound, which is then discharged from the counter-rotating twin-screw continuous compounding extruder.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 1994Date of Patent: April 25, 1995Assignee: Dow Corning Toray Silicone Co., Ltd.Inventors: Mitsuo Hamada, Tomoo Kinoshita, Kaoru Kunimatsu, Teruyuki Nakagawa, Satoru Terashima
