  • Patent number: 10781925
    Abstract: A seat ring for a butterfly valve is mounted on an inner peripheral surface of an internal flow passage extending along the flow passage axis in a valve body of the butterfly valve, so that an outer peripheral edge surface of a valve element supported to be rotatable in the internal flow passage by a valve stem supported by the valve body abuts on the seat ring. The seat ring includes a ring body having a cylindrical shape and extending in the center axis direction, and the ring body is formed at positions opposite to each other in a radial direction of the ring body with a pair of through-holes for allowing the valve stem to pass through. On an outer peripheral surface of the ring body, arcuate projections extending in a circumferential direction are formed apart from the pair of through-holes.

  • Patent number: 9787166
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a stator is a method for manufacturing the stator using molds. The stator is constructed so that a stator main body and resin molded portion are integrated. The stator main body includes a terminal portion and a core. The manufacturing method includes: arranging the stator main body such that the terminal portion is located on a top portion of the molds; and filling a cavity with resin. The terminal portion has a gas discharging port configured to discharge gas out of the cavity from inside the cavity in the molds.

  • Patent number: 8079212
    Abstract: In an exhaust purifying apparatus for an internal combustion engine on a vehicle, heating control is executed for supplying fuel to exhaust purification catalysts, thereby increasing the catalyst bed temperature. The heating control is suspended when the vehicle is determined to be driving downhill. Adverse influences due to deactivation of the exhaust purification catalysts during the heating control are reliably avoided.

  • Patent number: 7836685
    Abstract: A regeneration controller for preventing particulate matter from increasing when an exhaust purification apparatus is inactivated. The regeneration controller includes an ECU 70 for heating the exhaust purification apparatus and eliminating the particulate matter accumulated in the exhaust purification apparatus when an estimated accumulation amount is greater than a reference accumulation amount. The ECU 70 obtains the estimated accumulation amount by estimating the amount of particulate matter accumulated in the exhaust purification apparatus. An exhaust temperature sensor 44 detects the temperature of the exhaust purification apparatus. The ECU 70 intermittently decreases the air-fuel ratio of exhaust to heat the exhaust purification apparatus and perform burn-up heating for burning the particulate matter. The ECU 70 further prohibits burn-up heating when the temperature detected by an exhaust temperature sensor 44 decreases to a catalyst inactivation level.
