Publication number: 20190190176Abstract: Even when a connection board has a large thickness tolerance, a stable connection is achieved by absorbing the tolerance so as to stabilize a contact pressure between the connection board and contacts. In a unit in which electrode groups of a connection board are in pressure contact with elastic contacts formed integrally with an inner housing to connect thereto, the inner housing is provided inside an outer case of a card edge connector through an elastic member to be freely movable forward and backward in a thickness direction of the connection board. The positions of the elastic contacts are adjusted by forward or backward moving the inner housing in accordance with the thickness of the connection board inserted into board insertion slots, so a pressure contact force with the elastic contacts is substantially equalized, irrespective of the size of the thickness of the connection board.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2018Publication date: June 20, 2019Inventors: Satoru SUZUKI, Mitsuhiro YOSHIDA, Shogo UEHARA, Shinya OKUMURA

Patent number: 8950180Abstract: A hybrid construction machine drives the upper swing structure using a hydraulic motor and an electric motor together and is capable of regenerating the energy of the upper swing structure in deceleration or stopping into electric power and using the regenerated electric power for assisting the hydraulic motor for driving the upper swing structure. The opening area characteristics of a meter-out restrictor and a bleed-off restrictor of a swing directional control valve are set to become larger than for construction machines driving the upper swing structure with the hydraulic motor alone. Torque of the electric motor is controlled so that the total sum of the actual torque occurring in the hydraulic and electric motors in deceleration or acceleration of the hydraulic motor equals the torque occurring when the opening area of the meter-out restrictor or the bleed-off restrictor is set at the prescribed opening area.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2012Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: Hitachi Construction Machinery Co., Ltd.Inventors: Takatoshi Ooki, Yusuke Kajita, Hidetoshi Satake, Seiji Ishida, Shiho Izumi, Kouji Ishikawa, Shinya Okumura, Manabu Edamura
