  • Patent number: 11973386
    Abstract: Since the shape of the insulating paper is complicated, a forming and bending step of the insulating paper is required, and further there is a step of inserting the insulating paper in the middle of coil forming, which causes a problem of damaging the insulating paper. A fitting state of an insulating paper 201 into the inter-coil gap has an annular taper shape in which a diameter dimension D1 of an annular opening of the insulating paper 201 on a coil end tip side is long, and a diameter dimension d2 of an annular opening of the insulating paper 201 on a stator end face side on the opposite side is short. The insulating paper 201 is made to follow the tapered shape of the inter-coil gap 140 between an inner peripheral coil 120 and an outer peripheral coil 130, and the insulating paper 201 is fitted in a state inclined from the coil end tip side to the stator end face side with respect to an axial direction of the stator 20.

  • Patent number: 11890638
    Abstract: A powder supply device includes a hopper accommodating powder, a cylindrical roller provided below the hopper and rotatable around a rotational axis, and a wall surface storing the powder in a space between the roller and the wall surface. The powder supply device moves the powder stored between the roller and the wall surface in a rotation direction of the roller and drops the powder by the roller rotating. A plurality of groove portions extending in an axial direction are formed in a peripheral surface of the roller. At least one of the groove portions is formed such that a capacity allowing the powder to be accommodated changes in the axial direction.

  • Publication number: 20220161331
    Abstract: A three-dimensional manufacturing apparatus includes a rotary drive unit that rotates a table around a rotation axis, a region setting unit that sets a plurality of divided regions obtained by dividing an irradiation region, a beam source that irradiates a powder material with an electron beam for each of the divided regions, and a rotation speed adjusting unit that adjusts a rotation speed of the table. An area per unit central angle of a first divided region is smaller than an area per unit central angle of a second divided region. The rotation speed adjusting unit performs adjustment so that a rotation speed of the table during a period of irradiating the first divided region with the energy beam becomes faster than a rotation speed of the table during a period of irradiating the second divided region with the energy beam.

  • Publication number: 20210018338
    Abstract: Provided is a technique for detecting a vehicle type and a traveling direction of a vehicle by an electromagnetic induction sensor. A sensor unit (10), which is an electromagnetic induction sensor, includes a transmission coil (TX1), a first reception coil (RX1), and a second reception coil (RX2). A magnetic field of a vehicle (90) made of steel attracts a magnetic field emitted from the transmission coil (TX1) (S1). As the vehicle (90) approaches, a state 1 indicated by the broken line changes to a state 2 indicated by the dash-dot line (S2). A reduction in induced voltage and a phase change occur with respect to the induced voltage when the first reception coil (RX1) is in the magnetic field of state 1 (when the vehicle is not detected) (S3). The differential output signals of the second reception coil RX2 and the first reception coil RX1 change according to the advancement of the vehicle and according to the unevenness of the vehicle bottom portion 92 and the metal species (S4).

  • Publication number: 20200262137
    Abstract: A three-dimensional shaping device shapes a three-dimensional article by irradiating a powder material with an electron beam and melting the powder material. The three-dimensional shaping device includes an electron beam emitting unit emitting the electron beam, melting the powder material in order to shape the article, and performing preliminary heating of the powder material by irradiating the powder material with the electron beam before the article is shaped. The electron beam emitting unit moves an irradiation position of the electron beam in a spiral pattern when the powder material is irradiated with the electron beam for preliminary heating.
