Abstract: A variable capacity piston pump including a piston portion of the control piston causing a pressing force to act along one direction by pressing a pressed portion of a swashplate from a cylinder block side to adjust an inclination of the swashplate between a maximum inclination and a minimum inclination, and a swashplate return spring biasing the pressed portion of the swashplate toward the cylinder block side of the sliding contact surface, wherein there is a positional relationship in which a vertical reference line passes between a first action position which is an action position of the pressing force when the inclination of the swashplate is the maximum inclination and a second action position which is an action position of the pressing force when the inclination of the swashplate is the minimum inclination.

Abstract: A hydraulic control device of a forklift truck includes a first hydraulic cylinder, a first instruction member, a second hydraulic cylinder, a second instruction member, a hydraulic pump, an electric motor, a first passage which has a drain passage, a lowering control valve that controls flow of hydraulic oil, a flow rate control valve, and a controller. When a lowering operation of forks and an operation of a hydraulically-operated unit are performed simultaneously, when a required rotation speed of the hydraulic pump that is required for operating the hydraulically-operated unit at an instruction speed based on an operation of the second instruction member is a specified rotation speed or lower, the controller controls an instruction rotation speed of the electric motor so as to operate the hydraulic pump at the required rotation speed to thereby restrict the operation of the hydraulic pump.

Abstract: An outlet port of a hydraulic pump/motor and a bottom chamber of a lift cylinder are connected to each other by a hydraulic fluid passage. A hydraulic fluid passage that is connected to a hydraulic fluid tank is formed to branch off the hydraulic fluid passage. A flow control valve controls the hydraulic fluid delivered from the lift cylinder when the fork is lowered, thereby regulating the flow rate of hydraulic fluid supplied to the hydraulic pump/motor and the flow rate of hydraulic fluid supplied to the hydraulic fluid tank. If regenerative operation can be performed, the flow control valve is closed and hydraulic fluid is delivered to the hydraulic pump/motor. If regenerative operation cannot be performed, the flow control valve is opened and hydraulic fluid is delivered to the hydraulic fluid tank. In either case, the fork can be lowered at an instructed speed.

Abstract: A hydraulic control device for a forklift includes: a plurality of hydraulic mechanisms including a lifting/lowering hydraulic cylinder and a tilting hydraulic cylinder; a hydraulic pump; an electric motor; a discharge control mechanism; a proportional valve; a flow rate control valve; and a controller. When the lifting/lowering hydraulic cylinder performs a lowering operation of the fork and a hydraulic mechanism other than the lifting/lowering hydraulic cylinder simultaneously performs a further operation, the controller controls an open degree of the proportional valve in accordance with a rotation speed difference of a required lowering operation rotation speed for the hydraulic pump, which is required to perform the lowering operation at an instructed speed that is in accordance with an operation amount of the lifting/lowering control member, and a required further operation rotation speed for the hydraulic pump, which is required to perform the further operation.

Abstract: An electromagnetic switching valve, for which the maximum opening is set to be small, is disposed on piping between a lift cylinder and a hydraulic pump motor. A pilot check valve, for which the maximum opening is set to be larger than the electromagnetic switching valve, is disposed on piping, different from the piping, between the lift cylinder and the hydraulic pump motor. In addition, during lowering operations, first, the electromagnetic switching valve is opened, and then after the same is opened, the pilot check valve is opened after a prescribed time has passed. Thus, the shock generated when lowering an object to be raised/lowered is reduced and a fork is operated quickly.

Abstract: A hydraulic control device for a forklift includes a hydraulic pump, a single electric motor for driving the hydraulic pump, an outflow control mechanism provided between a lift cylinder and the hydraulic pump, a flow control valve provided between the outflow control mechanism and a draining portion, and a controller. When a lowering operation of a fork and either forward or rearward mast tilting operations of a mast are performed at the same time, the controller controls the electric motor based on a target speed of the hydraulic pump. The flow control valve controls the flow rate of hydraulic fluid from the lift cylinder to the hydraulic pump and the flow rate from the lift cylinder to the draining portion in accordance with the difference between the actual rotation speed of the hydraulic pump and the target rotation speed of the hydraulic pump.

Abstract: The present invention involves connectors for reducing Far-End Crosstalk (FEXT) through the use of novel polarity swapping to negate the cumulative effect of FEXT. Skew adjustment is used to improve the FEXT cancellation from polarity swapping. The polarity reversal location or locations among FEXT sources are optimized to achieve maximum FEXT cancellation. The novelty polarity swapping technique can be applied to a wide variety of connectors, such as mezzanine connectors, backplane connectors, and any other connectors that can benefit from FEXT reduction.

Abstract: A board electrical connector includes a plurality of the terminals provided in a housing. The terminals are attached to a circuit board on one side of the housing and fit each other with a middle connector on the other side of the housing. The terminals contact with pad portions of middle members of the middle connector. A receiving groove having an opening portion to receive an edge portion of the middle member of the middle connector is provided in the housing. A contact portion of the terminal enters the receiving groove for contacting with the middle member with a contact pressure. A protrusion having a smaller entry amount than that of the contact portion is provided on an inner wall surface of the receiving groove in a receiving direction of the receiving groove. The protrusion is situated at the same position as that of the contact portion.
