  • Patent number: 10833310
    Abstract: A secondary battery includes: a battery element; a casing which accommodates the battery element; a positive electrode terminal and a negative electrode terminal provided to the casing and electrically connected to the battery element; and a cut-off portion which switches from a grounded state in which the casing and one terminal of the positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal have an identical potential, to a cut-off state in which the casing and the one terminal are electrically cut off. The one terminal has a facing portion which faces the casing, and the cut-off portion is arranged between the facing portion and the casing. When the casing is externally short-circuited, the cut-off portion switches from the grounded state to the cut-off state by being deformed by heat generated as a short-circuit current flows.

  • Patent number: 8120302
    Abstract: A servo control apparatus capable of suppressing adverse effects of disturbance, load variation and the like, and realizing robust and high-performance speed control. The apparatus includes both of the following observers: a disturbance observer for adding a disturbance compensation torque Tf, calculated from a torque command T* and an electric motor rotational speed ?m, to a torque command basic signal T0*, calculated on the basis of a deviation between a speed command ?* and a feedback speed ?f by a PI control section, thus outputting the torque command T*; and a phase advance compensation observer for generating, from the torque command basic signal T0* and the electric motor rotational speed ?m, an output of a nominal plant serving as an element in which no delay occurs, thus outputting the output as the feedback speed ?f.

    Abstract: A motor controller supplies power to a motor and drives the motor, the motor including a position detector. The motor controller includes a velocity control unit which generates a torque instruction by using a velocity instruction and a velocity signal; a correction processing unit which Fourier-transforms the torque instruction, extracts first-, second-, and sixth-order frequency components from the Fourier-transformed torque instruction, extracts an order component having the largest spectrum from the extracted order components, and generates a sine wave correction signal; an adder which adds the sine wave correction signal to the torque instruction, and generates a new torque instruction; and a position-signal generation unit which generates a position signal by using a position detection signal of the position detector.

  • Patent number: 7589488
    Abstract: There is provided a motor control apparatus for setting, changing, resetting a control gain or a notch filter frequency Nf without using a parameter inputting apparatus, considerably reducing a procedure required in adjustment of the gain which has been needed from introducing the motor control apparatus until normal operation thereof, and capable of being simply dealt with even by an unskilled person. There is constructed a simple constitution including 2 pieces of rotary switches (1, 2) which are inexpensive and provided with small mounting areas as an input setting apparatus and 5 of LED (5) as a display apparatus, selecting a gain by a contact of the rotary switch, automatically setting a machine resonance filter frequency by detecting a generated vibration frequency, and only changing the rotary switch for temporarily releasing and resetting the control gain or the notch filter frequency Nf.
