  • Patent number: 10612550
    Abstract: An electric fuel pump includes a housing having an oil inlet and an oil outlet, an impeller, a stator unit mounted in the housing and including a stator and a starter terminal set connected to the stator, a packaging adhesive encapsulating the stator and the starter terminal set to create an oil guide passage in communication between the oil inlet and the oil outlet, and a rotor unit mounted in the housing and including a rotor rotatably mounted in the stator and a rotating shaft mounted in the rotor and connected with the impeller. When the stator unit is electrically conducted, the rotor unit drives the impeller to draw a fuel oil into the oil guide passage. When the fuel oil goes through the oil guide passage, the stator and the starter terminal set are well protected by the packaging adhesive and prohibited from contacting the fuel oil.

  • Patent number: 10138987
    Abstract: A speed reducer used in a server is disclosed to include a first planetary gear set, a planet gear carrier, an internal gear surrounding the first planetary gear set, and an output gear. The first planet gear includes a first sun gear mounted on the motor output shaft, at least one first planet gear pivotally coupled at the first planet gear carrier and meshed with the first sun gear and the internal gear for driving the first planet gear carrier and the output gear to rotate. Thus, the first planetary gear set reduces the revolving speed of the rotary driving force outputted by the motor output shaft, and effectively transfer the rotary driving force to the output gear, achieving the advantages of low backlash and long service life, reducing power transfer loss, increasing server output torque, and providing high speed ratio, high design flexibility and high assembly yields.

  • Patent number: 9800113
    Abstract: A modularized servo case includes a hollow first barrel and a hollow second barrel, each of which has a lower opening at a bottom end thereof. The first barrel and the second barrel have a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion disposed on outer surfaces thereof, respectively. The first and second barrels can be combined together by engagement between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion. In this way, the different inner components required for the first and second barrels can be separately installed beforehand by modularization, and then the first and second barrels can be assembled. Therefore, the assembly is preferably convenient and the inner components can be assembled simultaneously, thus enhancing the whole production capacity and efficiency and facilitating the disassembly procedure in the later repair and maintenance operation.

  • Patent number: 8232688
    Abstract: A voice coil motor type focusing actuator is disclosed to have a fixed unit, a movable unit and two resilient holding members. The fixed unit has a bracket with two slide shafts and a plurality of magnets mounted in the bracket. The movable unit has a lens holder movably mounted inside the bracket and a coil wound around the lens holder. The lens holder has two lugs. Each lug has a through hole for the slide shaft of the fixed unit to insert thereinto. The resilient holding member is fastened between the bracket of the fixed unit and the lens holder of the movable unit. When a current is supplied to the coil, a magnetic force is produced between the coil and the magnets to move the movable unit. When the current stops, an elastic force due to the resilient holding unit is utilized to pull the movable unit back to its original position.
