An air bag apparatus is provided which stably projects the air bag towards the front of a passenger. A retainer 12 stores therein an inflator 14 for injecting gas from gas injection holes at one end of the inflator, and an air bag 15 which is folded. A mid-retainer 16 is provided between inflator 14 and air bag 15. Mid-retainer 16 is provided with a plurality of guide fins 61, which are formed by making cuts in the mid-retainer and bending the cut portions. The direction of gas flow is adjusted by the inclination of each guide fin 61. The gas discharge rate is adjusted by setting various distances between each two adjacent guide fins 61 as to be greatest at the central part of the mid-retainer and either side of the center portion having a gas discharge rate approximately equal to its corresponding opposite side, thereby ensuring air bag 15 will be projected stably.

摘要:
A temperature rise of a semiconductor switching element, which is part of a power conversion device such as an inverter, is estimated by an extremely simple method to assess the degradation and remaining lifetime of the semiconductor switching element.In a heat generation amount calculation unit 12 in a calculation processor 3, current command values Id* and Iq* and voltage command values vu*, vv* and vw* are used to calculate a chip loss. First, current values iu*, iv* and iw* of all output phases are estimated from the current command values. The ON/OFF loss of the chip is represented by a function of an estimated value for a current flowing in each output phase, and the loss can be derived by integration with a PWM carrier frequency f. In addition, with respect to a conduction loss, it is necessary to integrate a conduction time with the estimated current value and a saturation voltage, which is a function of the estimated current value. In this case, the conduction time is calculated from a relationship between a carrier amplitude and the voltage command value in each control cycle fsw of the switching element. In addition, an ambient temperature sensor is added to calculate an absolute temperature.

A drive circuit that controls a switching device ON/OFF and a soft cutoff command circuit that gradually decreases the gate terminal voltage of the switching device when short circuit of the switching device is detected. Additionally, an ON-pulse retention command circuit retains the output of the drive circuit ON when the gate terminal voltage is judged to have exceeded a specified value by a gate voltage judgment comparator that detects the gate terminal voltage of the switching device.
摘要:
A collector voltage of a power management semiconductor device is detected by a first comparator, and when the detected collector voltage exceeds a first reference voltage, the first comparator outputs a first detection signal. Furthermore, a gate voltage of the power management semiconductor device is detected by a second comparator, and when the detected gate voltage exceeds a second reference voltage, the second comparator outputs a second detection signal. The second reference voltage is a minimum gate voltage for feeding a rated power to the power management semiconductor device or over, and less than a line power voltage of a drive circuit of the power management semiconductor device. When both the first detection signal and second detection signal are being outputted, the gate voltage is reduced by a gate voltage reduction means so as to protect the power management semiconductor device from overcurrent and overvoltage.

A substrate package structure includes bumps disposed on a surface side of a first substrate and a surface side of a second substrate. The bump at the first substrate and the bump at the second substrate are press-fitted to each other while the one surface of the first substrate and the one surface of the second substrate are confronted to each other, thereby connecting the first and second substrates to each other. The bump at the first substrate is constructed so that the tip portion thereof is designed to have a flat surface, and the bump at the second substrate is constructed so that the tip portion is designed to have a projecting portion narrower than the tip portion of the bump at the first substrate.

摘要:
The object of the invention is to provide an inverter system and vehicles using this inverter wherein accurate detection of the abnormal heat generation from the inverter is ensured, despite a large amount of noise signals, a substantial fluctuation in environmental temperature, or a change of cooling performances resulting from the environmental conditions. Based on the output value of an outside air temperature detecting means 150 and temperature calculation parameters inputted from outside the inverter system, the temperature calculation circuit 144B of an error detecting section 144 calculates the temperature Tcal where a temperature detecting means below semiconductor device 152 is installed. A calculation approximate line calculation circuit 144C works out the approximate curve of the difference between the theoretical temperature value and the real temperature value Treal detected by a temperature detecting means below semiconductor device 152, and captures the trend of the temperature difference, using a periodic sampling method, whereby a error determining circuit 144E determines an error, based on the difference from the initial trend obtained in advance or change of the trend.
