Abstract

A tripod-type constant velocity joint (101) comprises a roller unit (20) and an outer joint member (30). An outer roller (21) of the roller unit (20) has a cylindrical section (22) and two reduced-diameter sections (24, 25) that are provided to both sides of the cylindrical section in a cylinder axis direction (Y1). A roller groove (31) of the outer joint member (30) has a roller rolling surface (32) that is a flat surface in contact with an outer circumferential surface (22a) of the cylindrical section (22) of the outer roller (21), and two facing surfaces (33, 34) that respectively face the two reduced-diameter sections (24, 25) of the outer roller (21). One of the two facing surfaces (33, 34) is a contact surface (34) that is in contact with the reduced-diameter section (25). The cross-sectional shape, in the cylinder axis direction (Y1), of the reduced-diameter section (25) of the outer roller 21 forms a convex line, and the cross-sectional shape, in the cylinder axis direction (Y1), of the contact surface (34) of the outer joint member (30) forms a slanted straight line.

Abstract

A vehicle control system controls a plurality of vehicle systems including a vehicle steering system. A first control process to be executed by an integrated control device is a process of calculating a steering control value, with a need for cooperation with a vehicle system other than the vehicle steering system. A second control process to be executed by a steering control device is a process of controlling the vehicle steering system to reflect the steering control value calculated by the integrated control device, without the need for cooperation with the other vehicle system. The integrated control device executes the first control process while executing a process of calculating a control value to be used to control the other vehicle system. The second control process is a process of executing control that requires a higher responsiveness than the first control process.

The impulse calculation unit calculates a velocity impulse based on the vehicle speed which changes when passing over the change source and a braking/driving impulse based on the driving force and the braking force which change when passing over the change source. The braking/driving calculation unit calculates, in response to the passage determination unit determining that the vehicle has passed over the change source, the driving force and the braking force based on a variation of a disturbance impulse when having passed over the change source, when the disturbance impulse is a difference between the velocity impulse and the braking/driving impulse.

Abstract

A pulley (10) has a pulley body (20) and a flange member (30) attached to a first end of the pulley body. The first end of the pulley body has a fitting groove (23). The fitting groove has a first inner wall surface (23A), a second inner wall surface (23B), and a bottom wall surface (23C). The first inner wall surface is farther from a second end of the pulley body in the axial direction than the second inner wall surface. An engagement protrusion (24) extending in the circumferential direction of the pulley body is at least partially provided at a corner between the first inner wall surface and the bottom wall surface. The flange member imparts an elastic force (F0) to the engagement protrusion when the flange member is fitted into the fitting groove. The engagement protrusion has an inclined surface (24A) that converts the elastic force into a radial component force (F1) and an axial component force (F2). The radial component force is a force in a direction toward the radially inner side of the pulley body. The axial component force is a force in a direction from the first inner wall surface toward the second inner wall surface.

Abstract

A relief valve (1) has a housing (11), a piston (12), an urging member (14), and guide paths (12D, 16). The housing includes: a circumferential wall that has an output port (11B) for gas; a first end wall that is provided at a first end of the circumferential wall and has an input port (11A) for gas and a valve seat (11C) that surrounds the input port; and a second end wall (13) that is provided at a second end of the circumferential wall. The piston is accommodated in the housing so as to be capable of sliding in the axial direction. The piston has a valve body (12A) that comes into contact with or separates from the valve seat in the axial direction to open and close the input port. The urging member is positioned between the piston and the second end wall and constantly urges the piston in the valve-closing direction. The guide paths guide gas that flows into the input port so as to reduce the force that acts on the piston in the valve-opening direction.

Abstract

The present invention comprises: an intention estimation unit (103) that estimates, with three or more levels of accuracy, the steering intention of steering being performed by a driver in order to change lanes; and an intervention degree determination unit (105) which, for higher accuracies of the steering intention estimated by the intention estimation unit (103), determines a higher value for the degree of intervention of a steering assistance system (10) mounted in a vehicle being driven by the driver. The degree of intervention becomes relatively low when the accuracy of the steering intention is relatively low. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the steering assistance system from excessively intervening in steering and giving the driver an unnatural feeling of manipulation from a time point when the steering intention is unclear. The degree of intervention becomes relatively high when the accuracy of the steering intention is relatively high. Accordingly, when the steering intention becomes clear, the degree of intervention of the steering assistance system in the steering becomes high, and the steering assistance system can assist the steering of the driver.

Abstract

A steering control device according to the present invention is configured to perform a sign determination process and a response process. The sign determination process includes a sticking determination process and a slip determination process. The sticking determination process is a process for determining the occurrence of sticking on the basis of the fact that the absolute value of the rotation amount of a steering mechanism is not more than a prescribed value even when the absolute value of the drive torque, which is a torque for driving the steering mechanism, is not less than a prescribed value. The slip determination process is a process for determining the occurrence of slip on the condition that the logical AND of the fact that the absolute value of the drive torque decreases after sticking is determined to have occurred and the fact that the rotation of the steering mechanism when the absolute value decreases matches the drive torque when sticking is determined to have occurred is true.

Abstract

This steering control device is configured to execute a torque acquisition process, steering angle acquisition process, and determination process. In the torque acquisition process, the value of a torque variable is acquired. The torque variable indicates the drive torque, which is the torque for driving a steering mechanism. In the steering angle acquisition process, a steering angle variable is acquired. On the basis of the torque variable and the steering angle variable, which are used as input variables, the determination process determines that a fault leading to an increase in force required for steering increases has occurred, provided that the logical product of the torque gradient being equal to or greater than a predetermined value and the amount of increase in the absolute value of the drive torque exceeding a predetermined amount is true. The torque gradient is the ratio of the amount of increase in the absolute value of the drive torque to the absolute value of the amount of change in the steering angle indicated by the steering angle variable.

Abstract

A gear grinding method includes a grinding step for grinding a tooth flank of a gear by setting an axis intersection angle between a rotation axis of a workpiece and a rotation axis of a threaded grinding wheel to a composite axis intersection angle obtained by combining a reference axis intersection angle and a correction axis intersection angle. The reference axis intersection angle is an axis intersection angle determined based on a helix angle on a reference circle of the gear and a helix angle on a reference circle of the threaded grinding wheel. The correction axis intersection angle is an axis intersection angle for forming a grinding streak in a direction inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to a tooth trace direction on the tooth flank of the gear by the threaded grinding wheel.
