  • Publication number: 20240136967
    Abstract: A loss in each of a converter, an inverter, and a motor changes according to operation based on the rotation speed of the motor or the like. Thus, in order to efficiently perform operation, appropriate control needs to be performed according to the voltage of a DC power supply and operation of the motor. The present disclosure is characterized by including a controller which controls a switching element of a converter according to the torque and the rotation speed of a motor on the basis of a loss in at least one of the motor, an inverter, and the converter.

  • Patent number: 11204373
    Abstract: In the electric power converting apparatus, an electric current sensor that measures an electric current that flows through a busbar includes: a magnetic flux concentrating core that has a first end portion and a second end portion that face each other so as to have a measuring space interposed; and a magnetoelectric transducer that has a magnetically sensitive portion that is disposed in the measuring space. The magnetoelectric transducer generates a signal in response to a magnitude of a magnetic field that is sensed by the magnetically sensitive portion. Where a core opening direction of the magnetic flux concentrating core is a direction that is directed from the busbar, through the measuring space, and outward from the magnetic flux concentrating core, a direction of the magnetic leakage field at the electric reactor is a direction that is different than the core opening direction.

  • Patent number: 10800163
    Abstract: A liquid ejecting apparatus includes: a support that extends in a second direction intersecting a first direction in which a printing medium is transported; a carriage that is connected to the support and is movable in the second direction; an ejector that is provided in the carriage and ejects a liquid to the printing medium; and a detector that is provided in the carriage and detects a change in posture of the carriage. In a case where the liquid is not ejected from the ejector, the carriage moves in the second direction, and the detector detects the change in posture of the carriage. The detector outputs posture-change amount information based on the change in posture of the carriage. Ejection of the liquid is corrected based on the posture-change amount information.
