    摘要: A reaction force control unit calculates a driver's requested output and then estimates a maximum output that can be generated by an engine in a current cylinder deactivation operation. Next, the reaction force control unit calculates a difference between the maximum output and the requested output as an output difference and then determines whether the output difference has reached a predetermined reaction force start threshold value, and if the determination result is Yes, the reaction force control unit estimates a number of to-be-reactivated cylinders on the basis of the output difference and the current cylinder deactivation operation state. Subsequently, the reaction force control unit sets a target reaction force on the basis of the output difference and the number of to-be-reactivated cylinders, and outputs drive current to a reaction force actuator.

    摘要: An object of the present invention is to allow a vehicle to run in the case where an air compressor connected to an input port fails so as to cause air leakage from the location of the failure, by preventing air in a parking brake circuit from leaking from the failure location through a bleed air flow path. In order to achieve the object, a multi-protection valve includes: a communication passage for communicating between an input chamber and a service output port so as to bypass a pressure control valve provided in correspondence with the service output port, the communication passage having a check valve for preventing air from flowing from the service output port into the input chamber and a throttle for restricting the air flow rate; and a bleed air flow path for communicating between the input chamber and the parking output port so as to bypass pressure control valves, the bleed air flow path having a second check valve for preventing air from flowing from the input chamber to the parking output port. The multi-protection valve further includes a third check valve provided between the input chamber and an input port to prevent air from flowing from the input chamber to the input port.

    摘要: To provide a toe angle changing control ECU for controlling a toe angle of wheels of a vehicle. The toe angle changing control ECU includes: a straight traveling state judging section (41) for judging whether or not the vehicle is in a straight traveling state within a predetermined time period based on detection results (a vehicle speed, a steering torque, a yaw rate, and a lateral acceleration) of the traveling condition of the vehicle; a memory (44) for storing the toe angle of the wheels while the vehicle is in the straight traveling state; and a toe angle setting section (43) for setting the wheels to the toe angle stored in the memory (44) when the straight traveling state judging section (41) judges that the vehicle is in the straight traveling state. While the vehicle is in the straight traveling state, the wheels are set to a toe angle at which the wheels are substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, and the rolling resistance of the wheels becomes minimum theoretically. Thus, the fuel consumption can be improved.

    摘要: A vehicle steering device in which steering torque is transmitted from a steering wheel to steered wheels via a rack-and-pinion mechanism. The steering device comprises a rack shaft in which a rack is formed, two rack support parts positioned to both sides of a longitudinal direction of the rack shaft relative to the position of a pinion, and an urging part positioned between the two rack support parts. The two rack support parts are positioned near each other so as to support only a back surface of the region where the rack is formed in the rack shaft which is positioned in a steering neutral position, the back surface being supported so as to be capable of sliding in the longitudinal direction. The urging part urges the rack shaft in at least a direction other than towards the rack.

    摘要: A clip can fix a linear member, and is integrally molded by a base body, a bearing portion, and a locking lid. In the base body, the locking lid is integrally molded on one end to be freely rotatable. The bearing portion extends from one side of the base body, and includes an opening portion wherein a rotating shaft rotatably enters. In the locking lid, there are integrally molded a locking portion which can lock in the base body on the other side; the rotating shaft which can freely rotate in the bearing portion including the opening portion on one side; and a planar member covering the holding portion between the locking portion and the rotating shaft. Shapes and structures of the base body, the bearing portion, and the locking lid are made such that a molding metal mold is only pulled in one direction of a dividing line, and a slider is only pulled in one direction of a lower side, so that not only an entire size of the metal mold can be reduced, but also a plurality of pieces of molded articles can be simultaneously produced by one metal mold.

    摘要: A vehicle seat cushion structure whereby even when a steering wheel or other object is pushed closer toward a vehicle occupant after a vehicle is involved in a head-on collision and little space is left in front of the vehicle occupant, the space can be readily enlarged. The cushion structure comprises a supporting member provided on a seat frame and a cushion member disposed in a folded state on the supporting member. The folded cushion member is capable of being withdrawn from a cushion removal opening formed on a side of a seat. Space is provided between the vehicle occupant and the steering wheel or the like when the cushion member is removed via the cushion removal opening.

    摘要: An apparatus for diagnosing a fault of a hydraulic pressure source, including a fluid tank, a pump for pumping up fluid from the fluid tank, an accumulator for accumulating the fluid pumped up by the pump, a pressure detector for detecting a pressure of the fluid in the accumulator and generating an output signal, a pump drive or motor responsive to the output signal for driving the pump, and an electromagnetic valve of normally closed type interposed either in a flow path between the accumulator and a hydraulic pressure instrument or in a flow path between the tank and the hydraulic pressure instrument. This apparatus comprises an excitation signal generator for generating an excitation signal which excites the electromagnetic valve for a predetermined period of time, and a control unit for determing an anomaly on the basis of the output signal from the pressure detector. If any fault exists in the hydraulic pressure source, fall and rise of the hydraulic pressure is not effected normally. The control unit determines whether the variation of the hydraulic pressure is normal or abnormal on the basis of the output signal from the pressure detector.
