  • Patent number: 9523327
    Abstract: A soot accumulation computing and displaying device, including: a first calculating part that is configured to calculate a first inferred value of a present accumulation amount of the soot, based on a main fuel injection amount and a post fuel injection amount; a second calculating part that is configured to calculate a second inferred value of a present accumulation amount of the soot, based on a driving time of the internal-combustion engine, which is estimated to a present time from a starting time of a latest regeneration processing of the filter among regeneration processings of the filter conducted in past; a determining part that is configured to determine a maximum inferred value among the first and second inferred values; and a displaying part that is configured to perform displaying with regards to the maximum inferred value determined by the determining part.

  • Patent number: 9004025
    Abstract: A variable valve timing control apparatus has a housing having a plurality of working fluid chambers, a vane member rotatably housed in the housing and dividing the each working fluid chamber into advance and retard oil chambers, the vane member rotating to a most-advanced angle side and to a most-retarded angle side within a predetermined angle range relative to the housing, and a torsion spring, one end of which is retained by the housing and the other end of which is retained by the vane member. When the vane member rotates to the most-advanced angle side and to the most-retarded angle side, an angle formed by a line connecting the both ends of the torsion spring through an axial center of the vane member ranges from an angle positioned at one side to an angle positioned at the other side of a boundary with 180° being the boundary.

  • Patent number: 8955479
    Abstract: A variable valve timing control apparatus has a housing; a vane rotor relatively rotating with respect to the housing; a torsion spring always forcing the vane rotor in one rotation direction with respect to the housing; and a spring guide accommodating therein the torsion spring. At least a part of an outside diameter of the torsion spring, before being installed inside the spring guide, is formed to be greater than an inside diameter of an inner wall of the spring guide. In a free state of the torsion spring, after being installed inside the spring guide, in which an urging force of the torsion spring acting on the vane rotor becomes smallest, the outside diameter of the torsion spring is substantially same as the inside diameter of the inner wall of the spring guide or is smaller than the inside diameter of the inner wall of the spring guide.

  • Publication number: 20110197846
    Abstract: In a hydraulic system equipped with a main flow passage for feeding oil to each of lubricated engine parts and a branch passage branched from the main flow passage, a control valve apparatus is provided for adjusting a flow rate of the oil flowing through a portion of the main flow passage downstream of the branched point. The control valve apparatus is configured to control openings of a large flow control section and a small flow control section, depending on a position of a valve element, and further configured to close the opening of the small flow control section, at least in a specified state where the opening of the large flow control section is fully opened with a maximum opening area.
