Patent number: 11955959Abstract: A parallel driving device that drives parallel-connected semiconductor elements includes a control unit and a gate driving circuit. The control unit detects a temperature difference between the semiconductor elements on the basis of detected values by temperature sensors that detect temperatures of the individual semiconductor elements. The control unit generates a control signal for changing the timing at which to turn on a first semiconductor element specified from the semiconductor elements on the basis of the temperature difference. The gate driving circuit generates a first driving signal for driving the semiconductor elements, and generates a second driving signal that is the first driving signal delayed on the basis of the control signal, and applies the second driving signal to the first semiconductor element.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2019Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Yasushi Nakayama, Yoshiko Tamada, Takayoshi Miki, Shota Morisaki, Yukio Nakashima, Kenta Uchida, Keisuke Kimura, Tomonobu Mihara

Publication number: 20200078994Abstract: A spacer (1) is injection molded by using an injection molding die having resin flow channels that are designed such that a plurality of gates (6) are arranged along the longitudinal direction at a position corresponding to the outer peripheral surface of a side wall part (4) in which a plurality of arc-like peripheral surface parts (2) are connected through a waist part (3). After opening the mold and ejecting the spacer, the spacer is cooled with a runner (7) being connected to the gate (6), and thereafter, the runner (7) is cut off. As a result, when producing a water jacket spacer that is assembled to the inside of the water jacket and controls the flow of cooling water by injection molding, while producing with a high productivity without being affected by design constraints caused by draft angle, deformation in the post-molding cooling step is prevented.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2019Publication date: March 12, 2020Applicant: NICHIAS CORPORATIONInventors: Yoshifumi FUJITA, Shota UCHIDA, Kenichi NAKAMURA

Patent number: 10562215Abstract: A resin material is injection-molded using an injection mold in which a resin flow channel is designed so that a plurality of gates are provided along a longitudinal direction at a position corresponding to an inner circumferential surface of a spacer, to obtain a molded product, the spacer having a shape that a plurality of arc-shaped circumferential surfaces are linked through a constricted part. The molded product is cooled in a state in which a runner that is connected to the gates is allowed to remain, and the runner is cut off thereafter. A water jacket spacer is produced by injection molding while achieving excellent moldability, the water jacket spacer being disposed in a water jacket, and controlling the flow of a coolant, the water jacket spacer including a plurality of segments, or having a shape that the water jacket spacer can be partially inserted into the water jacket.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2016Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: NICHIAS CORPORATIONInventors: Yoshifumi Fujita, Shota Uchida, Kenichi Nakamura

Publication number: 20180036926Abstract: A method for producing a water jacket spacer includes using an injection mold that forms a molding space, the molding space producing an integrally molded product that includes at least a first water jacket spacer, a second water jacket spacer, and a bridge, the first water jacket spacer and the second water jacket spacer being provided so that the inner sides thereof are situated opposite to each other, and the bridge linking the inner side or the end of the first water jacket spacer, and the inner side or the end of the second water jacket spacer. The method for producing a water jacket spacer can produce a water jacket spacer having a shape that corresponds to half or part of half of the groove-like coolant passage along the circumferential direction by means of injection molding while preventing the occurrence of an adhesion-to-slide phenomenon when the mold is opened.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 14, 2016Publication date: February 8, 2018Applicant: NICHIAS CORPORATIONInventors: Yoshifumi Fujita, Shota Uchida
