  • Patent number: 9455652
    Abstract: If a bus current a bus current detector 11 detects exceeds a current cutoff value, an overcurrent detector 12 supplies a gate driver 14 with an open signal for turning off switching elements 5-10 to break the current to a motor 1. Besides, when the overcurrent detector 12 detects an overcurrent, a feedback controller 15 provides the gate driver 14 with a short-circuit braking instruction to apply short-circuit braking after breaking the power supply, and to restart PWM control from a state in which the short-circuit braking is being applied and the duty ratio command value is reset at 0.

  • Patent number: 8256593
    Abstract: A driving force transmitting devices is able to engage a main clutch with a small amount of hydraulic pressure. The driving force transmitting device includes an input shaft and an output shaft, and a main clutch. The device is formed of a primary clutch that intermittently transmits the driving force transmitted from the input shaft, a hydraulic pump that generates a hydraulic pressure, a piston that presses the primary clutch with the hydraulic pressure by the hydraulic pump, and a cam mechanism that presses the main clutch with a press-contact force which is amplified to be larger than the press-contact force of the piston by utilizing the driving force from the input shaft through the primary clutch, so as to engage the main clutch.
