Title: Hydraulic system
Inventor: AKIHIRO KONDO
IPC: F15B11/02
Filed: 2018-06-14
Abstract: This hydraulic system comprises: an operating device which outputs an operating signal according to a control variable with respect to the operating part; a pump which supplies hydraulic oil to a hydraulic actuator via a control valve; a bleed valve which stipulates the bleed flowrate at which hydraulic oil discharged from the pump is released to a tank; and a control device which controls the bleed valve in such a manner that the opening surface area of the bleed valve is reduced as the operating signal outputted from the operating device increases. The control device varies the opening surface area of the bleed valve between a maximum value and zero along a standard opening line, if sudden acceleration operation is not performed with respect to the operating device; and if a sudden acceleration operation is performed, the opening surface area of the bleed valve is varied between a maximum value and a minimum value that is greater than zero, along a special opening line, from the start of the sudden acceleration operation until a predetermined time period has elapsed.

Title: Socket
Inventor: DONGHU WU
IPC: H01R13/52
Filed: 2020-09-18
Abstract: Electrical socket comprising: a base 7, a cavity including metal contact (71, fig 22B), a platform 6 within cavity, a cover 1 mounted on base which closes the cavity and further includes holes for receiving inserted plug pins, i.e holes 18 for LN (91) poles and hole 17 for ground (earth) poles; a protection gate (safety shutter) assembly to close the holes at an initial position and including: a first protection gate 3 (fig 5) attached to an attaching side of the cover 1 (see fig 3B) facing the cavity and including a protrusion (31, fig 5) for a grounding pole aligned with hole 17 for the grounding pole and a rod (39m, fig 5) connected to the grounding pole protrusion; and a second protection gate 4 which is mounted on the platform 6, the second protection gate also including protrusions (41, fig 8) for LN poles aligned with the LN pole holes and a recess 48 for receiving the first gate’s rod 39. When suitable plug’s grounding pin is inserted into the grounding pole hole 17, the protection gate assembly moves protrusion 31 towards the base and displaces the first protection gate 3 to move in an interlocking manner the second protection gate 4 relative to the platform, thereby allowing the plug to pass through the holes to form an electrical connection with the metal contact. Motion of the first protection gate involves a swivel rotation and then a sliding translation motion in guides. Motion of the second protection gate involves rotation about a pivot. The interlocking manner of the two protection gates (shutters) reduces risk of electrical shock by preventing tiny objects or fingers entering the socket holes.
