摘要:
A first monitor circuit 50 and a second monitor circuit 60 each having an identical configuration are provided in a voltage monitor. A threshold switching section 41 switches a threshold of each of switching units 51 and 61 provided in the respective monitor circuits 50 and 60 to a same value. Each of comparators 53 and 63 compares the threshold with a reference voltage to output a result of the comparison. A fault detecting section 42 compares the respective outputs from the comparators 53 and 63 with each other to detect a characteristic shift of the threshold of each of the monitor circuits 50 and 60.

A device includes a pulse-width-detection unit which detects pulse widths of an input signal supplied to the device, a pulse-width-information storing unit which stores the pulse widths detected by the pulse-width-detection unit, an operation unit which obtains indication information from the pulse widths stored in the pulse-width-information storing unit, and a pulse-generation unit which generates a pulse signal by delaying the input signal by a delay amount commensurate with the indication information, the pulse signal being supplied to an exterior of the device.

A plurality of voltage switching circuits 41 are provided in a switching unit 40 to relatively change a reference voltage to plural levels, thus detecting a spontaneous change of the reference voltage. A range of relative change in the reference voltage by the plurality of voltage switching circuits 41 is set to a usage voltage range 81 or 82 as a part of a total voltage range 80 of each of cells 1a to 1d. This eliminates the need to provide voltage switching circuits 41 required to relatively change the reference voltage over the total voltage range of each of the cells 1a to 1d, making it possible to minimize the number of the voltage switching circuits 41 for each of the cells 1a to 1d. Thus, it is possible to prevent the size of a battery pack control apparatus 2 from increasing.

A permanent-magnet generator rotor comprising a first rotor shaft end portion having in the axial center a hollow portion through which a bolt is passed; a second shaft end portion having in the axial center a hollow portion and a bearing portion through which the bolt is passed. A magnetic cylindrical body is sandwiched between the first and second shaft end portions. The permanent-magnet generator rotor includes the magnetic cylindrical body fixed between the first and second shaft ends, a permanent magnet held on the outer circumferential surface of the magnetic cylindrical body; a non-magnetic cylindrical body shrink-fit onto the outer circumferential surface of the permanent magnet; a stator disposed around the permanent magnet; and the bolt penetrating through the first and second shaft ends; the hollow portions in the generator, and the magnetic cylindrical body.

An ingot is made from a used target of 30 weight % or more, and new metals of the same components, and recycled alloy powder is made by a gas atomizing process. Magnetic permeability is controlled not to exceed 2 by adjusting the content of rare earth metals in rare earth alloy powder to be at least 35 weight %. By blending the recycled alloy powder with other powder to produce alloy powder containing at least 50 weight % of rare earth alloy powder having a magnetic permeability not higher than 2 and containing at least 65 weight % of rare earth alloy powder. By sintering the alloy powder under pressure and thereafter cutting top, bottom and side surfaces of the sintered material, a target having a magnetic permeability not higher than 2 and having a thickness not less than 8 mm is fabricated.
摘要:
A current monitoring circuit for monitoring a charging/discharging current of a secondary battery that achieves high-precision monitoring and that restricts an increase in the circuit scale. An amplifier amplifies a voltage of a current sense resistor generated by a charging/discharging current under a various amplification degrees. A comparator compares an output voltage of the amplifier with a reference voltage. A controller controls a reference voltage to be supplied to each unit and controls the amplification degree of the amplifier, based on a result of the comparison. An A/D converter A/D converts an output voltage of the amplifier. A numerical-value converter converts a digital value obtained by the conversion of the A/D converter into a numerical value corresponding to a charging/discharging current, under the control of the controller. When an excess current has been detected, a switch is set to a non-conductive state, to thereby disconnect the battery from the external unit.
