Patent number: 10367435Abstract: A dual-voltage brushless motor (30) includes a casing, a motor shaft (20) rotatably coupled to the casing, a rotor fixedly connected to the motor shaft (20), and a stator (28) configured to face the motor. The rotor contains a plurality of permanent magnets, and the stator (28) includes a first set of winding and a second set of winding. The first winding is electrically isolated from the second winding. The dual-voltage brushless motor (30) is adapted to be driven when the first set of winding receives a first control signal or when the second set of winding receives a second control signal. By configuring two separate motor controllers of the motor, the motor (30) can be operated under different power supplies such as AC power supply and DC power supply. As a result the application of the motor is greatly extended.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2015Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: TECHTRONIC INDUSTRIES COMPANY LIMITEDInventors: Yijia Chang, Heiman Lee

Patent number: 7904991Abstract: A suction cleaner includes a suction unit for creating a flow of air and a flexible suction hose having a hose inlet at which air may be drawn into the suction hose. The suction hose leads from the suction unit and includes a first hose portion and a second hose portion having a connection to the first hose portion. The second hose portion includes the hose inlet. The suction unit includes a body that at least partially defines a storage volume in which the first hose portion can be accommodated when the first hose portion is in a contracted condition, and from which the first hose portion can be deployed when required. A first roller is positioned within the body and is supported on a first axis that is fixed with respect to the body. A second roller is positioned within the body and is supported on a second axis. The second axis is movable along an arc. A portion of the arc has a focus point positioned on the same side of the arc as the first axis.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2009Date of Patent: March 15, 2011Assignee: Techtronic Industries Company LimitedInventors: Bengt Ivar Anders Ivarsson, Gavin Burnham, Reuben Proud
