The present invention relates to a control device and to a control method for a vehicle drive mechanism including a moving body having a movability range regulated by two stoppers, and a sensor which senses a position of the moving body. The control device of the present invention learns an output of the sensor corresponding to a contact state of a high-rigidity stopper, and limits, to a lower level, an operation variable of the actuator for moving the moving body toward a low-rigidity stopper along with an increase in an amount of change in the output of the sensor from the contact state of the high-rigidity stopper. Then, the control device learns the output of the sensor corresponding to the contact state of the low-rigidity stopper, and controls the actuator based on the output of the sensor learned at both the stopper positions.

An eccentric sleeve for a crankshaft of a compressor, a crankshaft, a crankshaft assembly, and a compressor are provided. The crankshaft has a main shaft, a counterbalance and an eccentric shaft. The main shaft and the eccentric shaft are provided at two sides of the counterbalance and arranged eccentrically. The main shaft is internally provided with a main lubrication oil passage. An outer circumferential wall of the eccentric shaft is provided with an oil leakage hole in fluid communication with the main lubrication oil passage.

A piston with external pins boss connected with at least two coupled crankshafts, transforming reciprocating linear movement of the piston into rotary motion of the crankshafts. A cylinder jacket with the piston head forms the combustion chamber. Piston inner space with static counterpart forms an additional intake-breathing chamber. On static counterpart, an income and outgo valves can be located. From reciprocating movement of the piston, the intake-breathing chamber will provide intake gases to the combustion chamber employing a transfer port. Previous to the transfer port, a control valve may be disposed to regulate the volume of intake gases entering the combustion chamber. The intake-breathing gases not used for combustion may be mixed with combustion exhaust gases. Length of connecting links, on inverse configuration, provides extra time at maximum compression rate; improving evaporation and combustion stage timing.
