  • Publication number: 20240039425
    Abstract: Between positive and negative electrode ends of battery 50, fuse 51, main contactor 52 and electrolytic capacitor C21 are connected in series. Between positive and negative electrode ends of electrolytic capacitor C21, inverter 54 in which upper phase side EFT (54U, 54V, 54W) and lower phase side FET (54X, 54Y, 54Z) are bridge-connected is connected. Resistor R1 for precharging electrolytic capacitor C21 is connected to main contactor 52 in parallel. The resistance value of resistor R1 is set so that in a precharging period until a key switch is turned on after battery 50 is connected, when the upper phase side FET is OFF-controlled and the lower phase side EFT is ON-controlled, the charge voltage value of electrolytic capacitor C21 is set to be able to limit a gate-source voltage of the upper phase side FET to a voltage at which the upper phase side FET is not turned on.

  • Patent number: 11774905
    Abstract: A driving-force transmission member includes a coupling portion that includes a driving-force transmission surface and that transmits a driving force to a cartridge coupling, a first helical gear portion that engages with a driven gear of a cartridge to transmit the driving force, and a second helical gear portion that engages with a drive gear to receive the driving force. The portions rotate integrally with each other when the driving-force transmission member rotates about the axis of rotation. The driving-force transmission surface is shaped with a twist in the same direction as the driving-force transmission member. Helical teeth of the first helical gear portion are shaped with a twist in the same direction as the driving-force transmission surface. Helical teeth of the second helical gear portion are shaped with a twist in a direction opposite to the twist direction of the helical teeth of the first helical gear portion.
