Abstract: Provided is an equalization control device that can perform ex-post adjustment of a threshold serving as a reference when equalizing cell voltages of multiple cells. An equalization control device has a voltage detection unit that individually detects each cell voltage in a plurality of cells, an individual discharge unit that individually discharges each cell, a setting unit that sets, in an updatable manner, a threshold as a reference value for comparing with the cell voltage detected by the voltage detection unit, and a control unit that controls the individual discharge unit. The control unit compares each cell voltage detected by the voltage detection unit with the threshold set by the setting unit, and performs control to selectively discharge a discharge target cell having a larger cell voltage than the threshold.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an extruder screw includes a screw body. The screw body is rotated about an axis parallel to a direction of conveyance of a raw material. A conveyance portion having a flight is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the screw body. The flight is configured to convey the raw material along the axis of the screw body when the screw body is rotated. A passage for permitting the raw material fed by the flight to pass therethrough to the outer peripheral surface of the screw body is provided in the screw body in a position deviated from the axis of the screw body.

Abstract: An extruder screw conveying raw materials while kneading them includes a screw main body, conveyance portions, barrier portions, and paths. The conveyance portions convey the raw materials in an axial direction. The paths each include an entrance and an exit. The raw materials, the conveyance of which is limited by the barrier portions, flow in from the entrance. The raw materials flowing in from the entrance flow through the paths in an opposite direction to a conveyance direction. The exit is opened in the outer circumferential surface of the screw main body at a position outside the conveyance portions in which the entrance is opened.
