  • Publication number: 20240154547
    Abstract: An electric machine system includes an electric machine, an electric power converter, and a control unit. The electric machine includes a stator that includes coils, and a rotator that includes a magnet and is rotatable with respect to the stator. The electric power converter inputs electric power with respect to the coils of the electric machine. The control unit controls the electric power converter. The control unit includes an output unit and a correction unit. The output unit outputs a control signal for operating the electric power converter to the electric power converter. The correction unit corrects a phase of the control signal that determines input timing of the electric power with respect to the coils of the electric machine. The correction unit corrects the phase so that the magnitude of the electric power approaches an extreme value.

  • Publication number: 20230327506
    Abstract: A surface magnet rotor includes a shaft member extending along a rotational axis, and a magnet portion formed around the shaft member and forming opposite magnetic poles arranged along a circumferential direction. A cross-section of the shaft member includes an intermediate line extending from the rotational axis to a center point in the circumferential direction between a d-axis and a q-axis of the magnet portion. In the cross-section, a first cross-sectional area delimited by the d-axis and the intermediate line is different from a second cross-sectional area delimited by the q-axis and the intermediate line.

  • Publication number: 20230160126
    Abstract: A prediction method includes acquisition step, prediction step, determination step, and processing step. In acquisition step, parameters for a drying operation are acquired. In prediction step, based on the acquired parameters, a drying time required for the drying operation is predicted by a first prediction method. In determination step, when the restart of the drying operation is detected while the drying operation is stopped, whether the first prediction method performed in prediction step is applicable is determined. In processing step, when the first prediction method is determined to be applicable, the first prediction method is continued and when the first prediction method is determined not to be applicable, predetermined processing is performed.

  • Publication number: 20230151524
    Abstract: A drying time prediction method includes: obtaining an operation condition set at the start of operation of a first dryer; obtaining the first actual operation time period of each of at least one first operation performed by the first dryer; obtaining operation finish time information from a learned model by inputting, to the learned model, the operation condition and first actual information that is based on the first actual operation time period, the operation finish time information being related to the finish time of the operation started under the operation condition; and outputting first information based on the operation finish time information.
