Jih-Yang Chang has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10367394
    Abstract: An elastic actuator is provided, which may include a position motor and an electromagnetic spring. The position motor may include a motor output shaft. The electromagnetic spring may include a rotor, a stator and a gear set. The stator may drive the rotor to rotate. The gear set may include a first output shaft, a second output shaft and an output shaft; the first input shaft may connect the motor output shaft, and the second input may connect to the rotor. The power generated by the rotor and the power generated by the position motor may be outputted from the output shaft after being coupled via the gear set.

  • Patent number: 10141818
    Abstract: A winding frame structure for an automation winding machine to conveniently produce the windings of a motor includes two barrier plates, four ceramic heat conductive structures with high heat conductivity, and special-structured grooves. The ceramic heat conductive structures can significantly enlarge the heat dissipation area of the windings. The heat generated by the windings can be swiftly transmitted firstly to the ceramic heat conductive structures, then to the stator inside a space formed by assembling the four ceramic heat conductive structures, and finally to a motor casing. An air-cooling or water-cooling apparatus is introduced to swiftly dissipate the heat at the motor casing. Provided by the winding frame structure, the temperature difference between the inside and the outside of the winding frame structure can be reduced, the heat dissipation process can be more efficiently, and the winding arrangement of the windings for motors can be conveniently performed.
