  • Publication number: 20230353038
    Abstract: A power supply control device includes: a power conversion device; a controller; a current detection device; a comparison device configured to output a shut-off start signal when a value of current detected by the current detection device is larger than a preset current threshold value; a shut-off device configured to shut off, based on a shut-off control signal, a conversion operation signal; a latch device configured to output the shut-off control signal based on the shut-off start signal output by the comparison device and to perform, until a latch release signal is input, a latch operation, in which the shut-off device is caused to maintain a state in which a conversion operation signal is shut off; and a delay device configured to output a latch release signal after a delay time elapses, the delay time being determined by components of the delay device.

  • Patent number: 11658601
    Abstract: A motor control device includes a power converter that supplies a three-phase voltage to two motors being connected in parallel, a three-phase power line that connects between one of the two motors and the power converter, a branch three-phase power line that connects between the other of the two motors and the power converter, a switching device having two switches that are provided on the branch three-phase power line, a current detection device that detects three-phase currents flowing in the two motors, and a controller. The controller performs a failure determination of the switching device by identifying a phase of a power line in which no current flows in the three-phase power line and the branch three-phase power line, and, when a failure is detected in one of the two switches in the failure determination, controls to change a state of the other switch, which operates normally, to coincide with a state of the failed switch.

  • Patent number: 11445609
    Abstract: There is provided a printed circuit board in which an amount of molten solder adhering over electrodes adjacent to each other is increased in flow soldering. The printed circuit board according to the present invention includes: a first insulating substrate (6) having a mounting hole (15) that penetrates through the first insulating substrate (6) from a first surface (6a) to a second surface (6b); a second insulating substrate (18) including a connection portion (23a) that penetrates through the mounting hole (15) from the first surface (6a) side and protrudes from the second surface (6b); first electrodes (7 and 9) that are provided on the second surface (6b) and are arranged at an edge of the mounting hole (15); and second electrodes (19 and 25) provided on the connection portion (23a). The first electrodes (7 and 9) and the second electrodes (19 and 25) are joined by solder.
