Abstract

A control valve includes a casing and a rotor. The casing has an inlet and an outlet. The rotor has a peripheral wall in which communication ports are formed. The peripheral wall of the rotor has a gradually decreasing diameter surface of which an outer diameter gradually decreases from one end side to the other end side in an axial direction and in which the communication port is formed. The rotor accommodating portion of the casing has a rotor guide surface in which an amount of protrusion inward in the radial direction gradually increases from one end side to the other end side in the axial direction, and of which an inner end surface in the radial direction is slidably in contact with the gradually decreasing diameter surface of the peripheral wall. An outlet is disposed in a part of the rotor guide surface so as to face the peripheral wall of the rotor.

The restricting bracket includes a single restricting plate, a pair of downwardly extended plates, and a pair of side plate portions. The restricting plate overlaps an outer circumferential surface of the inner pipe, and is provided with an elongated hole along the lengthwise direction of the inner pipe. A coupling bolt passing through the elongated hole tightens the restricting plate to the outer circumferential surface. Each side plate portion extends from a tip of each downwardly extended plate along the external surface of each clamping portion, and is held between each clamping portion and each outer column supporting portion. Each downwardly extended plate and each side plate portions are provided with respective telescopic adjustment elongated holes through which a clamping bolt passes. The coupling bolt moves forward in the elongated hole when a secondary collision occurs.

Abstract

An electric pump includes a pump, a motor configured to drive the pump, a motor drive unit having a switching element and configured to drive the motor with electric power output from the switching element, and a control unit configured to output a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal for driving the switching element to the motor drive unit. The PWM signal output from the control unit, is used for monitoring a state of the motor. When the motor stops abnormally, the control unit sets a frequency of the PWM signal for use in monitoring the state of the motor to a frequency outside of a frequency band which is used when the motor is normal.

The thermo actuator and the valve body overlap each other in a direction of an axial centerline to cover at least one of the recesses. The coupling part is formed by at least a certain section of the overlapping portion being depressed toward the axial centerline and another section of the thermo actuator fitting in the recesses. The depression of the coupling part has a shape elongated in a longitudinal direction along the axial centerline.

Abstract

A method of manufacturing a thermo valve includes an overlaying step of overlaying a valve body onto a thermo actuator so as to cover a groove portion; and a caulking step of caulking an installing portion of the valve body onto the thermo actuator. The caulking step is performed by pressing, by use of a jig, the valve body and the thermo actuator toward an axis center in a radial direction. A pressing face of the jig has a short side portion and a long side portion longer than the short side portion. Pressing is performed with the long side portion being substantially in parallel to the axis center of the thermo actuator and the short side portion being substantially in parallel to the groove portion.

Abstract

Provided is a motor control device capable of continuously detecting a rotor position. The motor control device is provided with: an inverter circuit (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17) that uses a motor power supply (11) to drive a sensorless motor (18); a current detection circuit (2) for detecting an actual driving current of the motor; a position detection circuit (5) for detecting a rotor position of the motor; a motor control circuit (4) for controlling the inverter circuit in accordance with a target rotational speed of the motor; a generation circuit (1) for generating a low bias signal when the actual rotational speed of the motor obtained on the basis of the rotor position is a high rotational speed higher than a predetermined rotational speed (Nc) and generating a high bias signal when the actual rotational speed is a low rotational speed; and an adder circuit (3) for adding a bias signal (VIb) and an actual driving signal (VId). When a sum signal (VIdb) from the adder circuit exceeds a fixed upper limit value while the rotor position is detected, the motor control circuit stops the energization of the motor using the inverter circuit.

Abstract

Provided is a steering device including an inner pipe, an outer column including a holding main body section and a clamp section, a fixed bracket including fixed side sections, a stopper bracket including a movable guide section firmly attached to the inner pipe, and attachment sections formed at front-back-direction both ends of the movable guide section, and a hanger bracket in which sections to be attached to both the attachment sections are formed on front-back-direction both sides, the hanger bracket including side plate sections which sandwich width-direction both side surfaces of the clamp section and in which long holes for telescopic adjustment are formed. The attachment sections of the stopper bracket and the sections to be attached of the hanger bracket are firmly attached and joined by joining members.
