Abstract:
A reduced-size magnetic coupling device includes a first magnet group having a plurality of first magnets arranged on an interaction surface at equal intervals in the direction of the circumference about the rotation axis; a second magnet group having a plurality of second magnets arranged on an interaction surface at equal intervals in the direction of the circumference about the rotation axis and in positions in the vicinity of the rotation axis; and a third magnet group having a plurality of third magnets that are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction about the rotation axis and in positions outward with respect to the second magnets. The third magnets have an area approximately equal to that of the second magnets. Each third magnet has a magnetic pole different from that of the second magnet that is positioned between the third magnet and the rotation axis.
Abstract:
An armature is magnetically attracted to and is coupled with a rotor against an urging force of a resilient member by a magnetic attractive force of the rotor when a permanent magnet is placed into a first position. When the armature is coupled with the rotor, a rotational drive force of an internal combustion engine transmitted to the rotor is transmitted to a refrigerant compressor connected to the armature to rotate the refrigerant compressor. The armature is urged away from and is decoupled from the rotor by the urging force of the resilient member when the permanent magnet is placed into a second position.

Abstract:
A power transmission device for transmitting a driving force from a vehicle-mounted driving source to a vehicle-mounted rotary device includes a driving rotor mechanically coupled to the vehicle-mounted driving source via a belt, and a driven rotor disposed coaxially with the driving rotor and mechanically coupled to a drive shaft of the vehicle-mounted rotary device. Furthermore, the power transmission device is provided with a magnetic join portion disposed in at least one of the driving rotor and the driven rotor, and the magnetic join portion is adapted to transmit a rotary driving force from the driving rotor to the driven rotor by a magnetic force, while keeping a predetermined clearance between the driving rotor and the driven rotor. Thus, in the power transmission device, a natural frequency can be made much lower than a frequency of vibration generated from the vehicle-mounted rotary device in idling of a vehicle.
Abstract:
A power transmission device includes a pulley 1 and a hub 2 having an inner hub 21, a rubber damper 22 and an outer hub 23. A hub side engagement portion 24 formed of an elastic material and arranged at either one, or both, of an inner peripheral surface and an outer peripheral surface of the outer hub engages with a pulley side engagement portion 12, which is arranged at a position corresponding to the outer hub, of the pulley in a concavo-convex fitting to thereby constitute a torque transmission structure between the hub and the pulley. The hub side engagement portion and the pulley side engagement portion have a concavo-convex outer shape and mesh with each other. A ring-like dust invasion prevention portion 28 covers a front surface of said concavo-convex fitting.
Abstract:
A power transmission apparatus (10) includes a rotary portion (1) to which turning driving force from a driving source is transmitted and which can rotate, a power cutoff member (3) mechanically connected to the rotary portion (1) and one of the ends of a rotary shaft (5) of a driven apparatus and cutting off transmission of excessive torque between them, and a cap (4) connected to the end of the rotary shaft (5) on one hand and fastened by screw meshing to the power cutoff member (3) on the other hand, and transmitting power from the power cutoff member (3) to the rotary shaft (5). The rotary portion (1), the power cutoff member (3), the cap (4) and the rotary shaft (5) all rotate integrally with one another. The cap (4) has a flange portion (4h) protruding in a radial direction with respect to an axis of the rotary shaft (5) and supporting an axial force.
Abstract:
A coupling device has a pulley that receives rotational torque from an engine. The torque is transmitted to a shaft through a hub and a one-way clutch. A torque limiter is screwed on the shaft to fasten the inner ring of the one-way clutch onto the shaft. The torque limiter has a breakable portion. The torque is directly transmitted from the inner ring to the shaft when the torque is normal. If the torque exceeds the tightening torque of the torque limiter, the inner ring begins to slide and rotate, and drives the torque limiter in a tightening direction. As the torque limiter is tightened additionally, the tensile stress on the breakable portion is increased. Then, the breakable portion breaks and is separated in axial direction so that the coupling device disconnects torque transmission.
Abstract:
In the power transmission device having a torque limiting function for shutting off the transmission of an excessively high torque between the pulley 1 and the rotary shaft 5, the hub 2 and the rotary shaft 5 are connected to each other by means of screw engagement between the female screw portion 2d, which is formed on the inner circumferential face of the hub 2, and the male screw portion 5d which is formed on the outer circumferential face of the forward end portion 5a of the rotary shaft 5, and the seal means 4 for sealing between the hub and the rotary shaft is provided adjacent to the front face or the front and rear faces of the screw engaging portion. The torque limiting function may be provided on the rotary shaft side or the hub side.
Abstract:
Downsizing a piston stroke dimension in a compressor that reciprocates pistons is accomplished by changing a radial directional component of a shaft of a motion that is transferred to a link from a revolving member revolved by the shaft when transferred to the link attached to the pistons. Thereby, when the revolving member, driven by a shaft, revolves once, a center of a sliding pin appears to reciprocate once in a vertical direction as it goes back and forth on both sides interposing a piston axial line. Thus, when the revolving member revolves once, the piston reciprocates twice in a cylinder bore in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the driving shaft.

A scroll-type refrigerant compressor having a movable scroll unit and a stationary scroll unit which has a fixed stationary end plate in which a plurality of bypass ports and a discharge port are formed through which the refrigerant compressed in the pockets formed between the movable and stationary scroll units is discharged via check valves covering the bypass ports and the discharge port and preventing a reverse flow of the discharged refrigerant into the pockets. The compressor further having a suction port fluidly connected to an evaporator of an air-conditioning system, a delivery port fluidly connected to a condenser of the air-conditioning system, and a fluid channel for providing a fluid communication between the suction and delivery ports via a solenoid-operated valve for blocking and unblocking the fluid channel. The compressor can be switched from the ordinary 100% capacity to 0% capacity and vice versa.
