    Abstract: An electric vehicle drive device includes: a first motor; a second motor; a transmission mechanism coupled to the first motor and the second motor; and a control unit configured to control operation of the first motor and the second motor based on a drive signal. The transmission mechanism includes: a sun gear shaft coupled to the first motor; a first planetary gear mechanism; a second planetary gear mechanism; and a one-way clutch configured to restrict a rotation direction of a first carrier to a predetermined positive rotation direction. The drive signal includes gear change information indicating a first state in which the second motor is controlled based on torque or a second state in which the second motor is controlled based on rotation speed, and throttle information indicating an acceleration of rotation speed of a wheel.

    Abstract: A vehicle weight measurement device includes a diaphragm which covers an opening area of a groove portion of a mounting part to form an oil chamber of a predetermined space together with the groove portion; a pressure sensor which detects a change in pressure of measurement fluid in the oil chamber; a first piston which presses the diaphragm; a second piston which presses the first piston; and a bearing unit interposed between the second piston and a spring bush which receives one end of a spring of a suspension device and is relatively rotatable. The bearing unit includes a thrust needle bearing which swingably supports a load in a longitudinal direction of the suspension device, and a slide bush which does not receive a load in the longitudinal direction and receives a load in a radial direction while causing constant damping to swinging.

    Abstract: A sun roller of a friction roller-type transmission includes a movable sun roller element (23) capable of moving in an axial direction. Furthermore, the sun roller is provided with a loading cam mechanism which is formed along the circumferential direction of an input shaft (12), the loading cam mechanism having a first cam surface (75), a second cam surface (77) arranged facing the first cam surface (75) and secured to the input shaft (12), rolling elements (63) held between the first and second cam surfaces (75, 77), and an annular holding device (51), and the loading cam mechanism axially displacing the movable sun roller element (23). The holding device (51) has an inside-diameter-surface guiding part (81) for positioning the holding device relative to the input shaft by being fitted over the input shaft, the guiding part being provided to the inside diameter surface.

    Abstract: Provided is a structure that together with being compact, allows a vehicle to be steered even when power is not supplied to a steering device and a turning device.
    A reduction mechanism 28 for reducing and transmitting the motive power of the reaction force applying motor 6 to a steering shaft 5 is configured by a shaft-side teeth portion 9 of the steering shaft 5, two-stage gears 7a, 7b having a first teeth portion 26 and a second teeth portion 27, and a motor-side teeth portion 19 of the reaction force applying motor 6. A torque transmission mechanism 4 connects the steering shaft 5 and an input shaft 51 of a steering gear unit 49, and is capable of switching between a transmitting mode of mechanically transmitting torque between the steering shaft 5 and the input shaft 51 and a non-transmitting mode.

    Abstract: An electric vehicle driving device includes a first motor, a second motor, a transmission device to which power of at least one of the first motor and the second motor is transmitted, and an output member that rotates with power output from the transmission device. A rotation axis of the first motor, a rotation axis of the second motor, and a rotation axis of the transmission device are arranged in parallel to a rotation axis of the output member. When seen from an axial direction parallel to the rotation axis of the output member, the rotation axis of the first motor is located on one side of a straight line passing through the rotation axis of the output member and the rotation axis of the transmission device and the rotation axis of the second motor is located on the other side of the straight line.
