  • Patent number: 7313003
    Abstract: The present invention provides a switching power supply unit capable of suppressing a surge voltage generated in a rectifier element more effectively. A first resonance circuit is constructed by capacitors in a surge voltage suppressing circuit and an inductor, and resonance time of the first resonance circuit is set to be longer than recovery time of a diode in a rectifier circuit. According to at least one of a DC input voltage and an output current, either a first bridge circuit or a second bridge circuit is selectively allowed to perform switching operation. At the time of forward-direction operation, the first resonance circuit is formed by the capacitors in the surge voltage circuit and the inductor on the high voltage side. At the time of reverse-direction operation, a second resonance circuit is formed by the capacitors and an inductor on the low voltage side.

  • Publication number: 20040228698
    Abstract: A broach has a main body of a cemented carbide material. On this main body, a front grip portion, a cylindrical portion following the front grip portion and provided with a plurality of guide parts in its outer periphery, a broach cutting edge portion following an end of the cylindrical portion and having a number of cutting edges, and a cylindrical extension following the broach cutting edge portion and having a maximum outer periphery dimension to such an extent that the extension does not interfere with a work are integrally provided. On an end surface of the cylindrical extension, a load receiving shoulder is formed, which leads to a rear grip portion including a small-diameter part and is orthogonal to or inclined with respect to a broach axis. The load receiving shoulder has a sufficient area to bear a cutting load. A broaching machine grips the rear grip portion with its load receiving surface abutting against the load receiving shoulder of the cemented carbide broach.

  • Publication number: 20040223825
    Abstract: A broach tool for finishing a hollow hole has a number of cutting edges arranged in order of dimensions in a longitudinal direction. The cutting edges in at least a finishing portion are formed of cemented carbide. A cutting depth of each edge in a cutting direction is 5 &mgr;m to 15 &mgr;m for slots such as a spline hole and a ball groove, or 3 &mgr;m to less than 9 &mgr;m for a round broach hole. A work has the hollow hole pre-worked leaving a finish cutting allowance, and has hardness of 45 to 65 HRC (Rockwell hardness C scale) after subjected to a thermal treatment. A hollow hole cut surface is finished into the finished dimension with use of the broach tool. The broach tool has little chipping on cutting edge tips and is hardly abnormally worn and has a long life.
