  • Publication number: 20220183473
    Abstract: An attachment for oscillating a bed and a bed oscillating device including a support portion supporting the bed and a driving unit that linearly reciprocates the support portion such that the bed is oscillated. A conversion mechanism of the driving unit is a screw device including a screw shaft, a nut, a plurality of balls, and a circulation member that endlessly circulates the plurality of balls between a first spiral groove of the screw shaft and a second spiral groove of the nut. One of the screw shaft and the nut includes a rotating member configured to rotate in accordance with the rotational motion of the motor, and the other of the screw shaft and the nut includes a reciprocating member configured to be linearly reciprocated via the balls in accordance a rotation of the rotating member.

  • Patent number: 11319990
    Abstract: A rolling bearing device includes a rolling bearing that includes an outer ring having an inner peripheral surface on which a first raceway surface is provided, an inner ring having an outer peripheral surface on which a second raceway surface is provided, and rolling elements interposed between the first and the second raceway surfaces; a strain sensor configured to detect a strain of the rolling bearing; and a fixation portion configured to fix the strain sensor to a peripheral surface that includes at least one of an outer peripheral surface of the outer ring and an inner peripheral surface of the inner ring. The fixation portion fixes at least two locations in the strain sensor to the peripheral surface such that a detection region of the strain sensor and the peripheral surface are not fixed to each other, the at least two locations facing each other across the detection region.

  • Patent number: 10461481
    Abstract: An electronic control unit includes a first circuit board and an electrical connection module disposed on a base of a body housing, a first connector group electrically connected to the electrical connection module, and a second connector group disposed on a wall of the body housing. The first connector group and the second connector group are arranged in a first direction along the wall. The base, the electrical connection module, and the first circuit board have respective positioning holes for positioning relative to each other. A positioning pin is insertable into openings of the second positioning hole and the first positioning hole, and another positioning pin is insertable into openings of the third positioning hole and the first positioning hole.

  • Patent number: 10461611
    Abstract: In a driving unit of an electromechanical motor unit, a semiconductor chip and a smoothing capacitor are joined to a second main surface of a substrate having a first main surface and the second main surface. The semiconductor chip includes a first end portion facing the second main surface, and a second end portion on the opposite side of the semiconductor chip from the first end portion. The smoothing capacitor includes a third end portion facing the second main surface, and a fourth end portion on the opposite side of the smoothing capacitor from the third end portion. The semiconductor chip is thermally connected to a bottom wall portion of a cover member, at a position closer to the second main surface than the fourth end portion is. The bottom wall portion is thermally connected to the motor housing via a sidewall portion of the cover member.

  • Patent number: 10243432
    Abstract: A rotation angle detection device detects a rotation angle of a motor having a shaft passing through a heat-dissipation plate. The rotation angle detection device includes: a permanent magnet attached to a base end of the shaft; a board that is disposed above the heat-dissipation plate and on which a drive circuit of the motor and a control circuit of the drive circuit are mounted; a magnetic sensor that is provided on the board so as to face the permanent magnet; and a magnetic shielding member that has a tubular shape and is disposed between the heat-dissipation plate and the board to surround the permanent magnet in plan view.

  • Publication number: 20160351469
    Abstract: In a semiconductor device, a first to a sixth switching elements are joined to a second main surface of a substrate with their electrode surfaces facing the second main surface of the substrate. Non-electrode surfaces of the switching elements are provided with respective heat spreaders joined thereto. Each of the heat spreaders is constituted of a heat spreader main body and a pair of standing portions. The heat spreader main body is formed in a cuboid having rectangular flat surfaces that are elongated in one direction. The standing portions are standing on both edges of a surface of the heat spreader main body.
