Publication number: 20080167156Abstract: An electric variable inertia apparatus uses a servo drive device to drive a planetary gear mechanism to which a load assembly is attached to provide variable and wide-ranging rotational inertia. A planetary frame and a ring gear of the planetary gear mechanism act as two input ends of the electric variable inertia apparatus, and a rotated shaft of a sun gear assembly of the planetary gear mechanism acts as a load terminal. The load assembly is rotated at a controlled rotational velocity with the ring gear to generate a widely ranging rotational inertia to change a dissipating degree of an input energy from the planetary frame. The electric variable inertia apparatus can be used in different fields such as shock absorbers, stabilizers, dampers or vibrators in the automotive field, etc.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2007Publication date: July 10, 2008Inventors: Bor-Jeng Lin, Mi-Ching Tsai, Cheng-Chi Huang, Li-Jung Tu

Patent number: 7109631Abstract: The present invention relates to a low cogging and easy-to-downsize spindle motor structure. The motor is an axial magnetic flux spindle motor comprising a stator assembly and a rotor assembly. The stator assembly comprises a deck for seating the rotor assembly and at least one bearing placed on the housing of said stator and between the stator and the rotor. The outer periphery part of the bearings is the stationary part; with the inner part of said bearings being the rotating part. A cylindrical shaft is located in the center of the rotor. When the thin windings of stator are excited with current, a rotating magnetic field is created, forcing said rotor into rotation, and as a consequence, bringing the spindle into rotation that generates motor output needed to drive loads.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2005Date of Patent: September 19, 2006Assignee: Metal Industries Research and Development CentreInventors: Ming-Chin Tsai, Chuen-Fuu Wu, Liang-Yi Hsu, Mi-Ching Tsai

Patent number: 6942603Abstract: A control system of resisting and assisting force for a rehabilitation apparatus includes a motor, a resistance adjustment control device and a motor output force control device. The motor drives the rotating wheels of the rehabilitation apparatus and controls the rotating wheels to produce resistance and power assisting force. The resistance is designed by imitating the frictional force of different road conditions. The motor output force control device gathers the resistance value preset by the resistance adjustment control device. and the force of a patient pushing or pedaling the rotating wheels and then controls the compensation and the output force of the motor to push the rotating wheels. When the resistance is adjusted to become increasingly larger and larger by the resistance adjustment device, the force of a patient's hands or legs will gradually increase and finally able to push or pedal the rotating wheels by himself.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2002Date of Patent: September 13, 2005Assignee: Tonic Fitness Technology, Inc.Inventors: Mi-Ching Tsai, Tien-Chi Chen, Cheng-Hu Chen, Jia-Sheng Hu, Andy Wu, Joseph Wu
