Abstract: Several transmission embodiments selectively communicate rotary drive to an orbiting scroll to achieve capacity modulation. In these embodiments, when the motor is driven in a first direction, the orbiting scroll is driven at a rate which is equal to the motor speed. However, if the motor is driven in a reverse direction, the orbit rate of the orbiting scroll is reduced. The transmission ensures that the orbiting scroll member itself is driven in the proper forward direction regardless of whether the motor is being driven in forward or reverse.

Abstract: A fan control system. The fan motor is operated normally at not greater than a preset maximum rotation speed. The fan control system has a programmable microcontroller to receive an input voltage and a rotation speed signal corresponding to the actual rotation speed of the fan motor, determining an output signal according to the input voltage and the rotation speed signal, and outputting the output signal; and a fan-driving unit to receive the output signal and adjusting the rotation speed for driving the fan motor according to the output signal. When the rotation speed is lower than a predetermined rotation speed, the rotation speed is in a relation of a first function to the input voltage; when the rotation speed is greater than the predetermined rotation speed, the rotation speed is in a relation of a second function to the input voltage.

Abstract: A method for the control and regulation of the oil pressure-gas pressure relationship of diaphragm compressors. The function of a diaphragm compressor is mainly dependent on a given minimum relationship of gas pressure and oil pressure. When this is undershot a large direct damage or long term damage can result. Also there exists operating conditions with very different gas pressures for which the maintenance of a given predetermined relationship between gas pressure and oil pressure is of large advantage. The solution of the invention lies in the capture of the oil pressure-gas pressure relationship with an electronic pressure sensor on the oil side of the diaphragm head and another electronic pressure sensor on the gas outlet side of the diaphragm head, with an associated electronic evaluation circuit for both of the signals for determining from those signals the relationship of the two pressures as well as for producing a signal output upon the undershooting of a given minimum relationship.

Abstract: A pump (10) has a housing which forms a pump chamber (17) having a wall (18). Inlet and outlet valve assemblies (19, 20) communicate with the chamber (17) and, respectively, allow fluid to be received in, and discharged from, the chamber (17). An armature (27) carries a plunger (28) and is reciprocatably moved by an electromagnetic coil assembly (25). A coil spring (44) biases the plunger (28) toward a stop surface (41) positioned adjacent to the plunger (28). Upon activation of the coil assembly (25), the plunger. (28) is moved against the force of the spring (44) such that a diaphragm (31) carried by the plunger (28) moves into the chamber (17) without engaging the wall (18) to discharge fluid through the outlet valve assembly (20). When the coil assembly (25) is deactivated, the spring (44) moves the plunger (28) toward the stop surface (41) without allowing it to engage the stop surface (41) to draw fluid in through the inlet valve assembly (19).

Abstract: A radial, fluid pressure actuated motor having sets of opposed axially aligned cylinders arranged in a spaced relation about a crankshaft, each set of cylinders having a common push rod extending between them. Each push rod has a central Scotch yoke with an elongated slot, the yokes being arranged in overlying spaced relation, the slots being arranged in right angular intersecting relation.

Abstract: An oil suction pump includes a push switch, a shaft vertically located below the push switch, and a float arm horizontally located below the shaft.

Abstract: An air pump is provided with a motor body having an air slot to allow air to flow from the air slot to air inlets positioned in a front sealing cap of the motor body. The air inlets are aligned with air holes in a closed housing. A shaft of the motor body extends into the closed housing which houses a piston. The shaft of the motor body is connected to gearing mechanisms in the closed housing to provide reciprocating motion of the piston. The piston includes an air inlet and a valve. The reciprocating movement of the piston causes air to travel through the piston into a cylinder above the piston. The design of the pump affords a cooling function to both the motor body and cylinder while reducing the noise of the pump.

Since the plurality of legs are fixed as the seat cap is mounted between the support springs, the assembly of the sleeve and the sucking member can be simply assembled in a state that the motor and the compressing unit are already assembled.

Abstract: The micro pump 100 comprises a first flow pass 115 for changing the flow pass resistance in accordance with the differential pressure, a second flow pass 117 wherein the percentage change in flow pass resistance relative to the differential pressure is less than that of the first flow pass 115, pressure chamber 109 connected to the first flow pass 115 and the second flow pass 117, and a piezoelectric element 107 for changing the pressure within the pressure chamber 109 so as to transport minute amounts of fluid with high precision using a simple construction. The ratio of the flow pass resistance of the first flow pass 115 and the flow pass resistance of the second flow pass 117 differs by changing the pressure within the pressure chamber 109 via the piezoelectric element 107, such that fluid can be transported in a standard direction and an opposite direction.
