  • Patent number: 10413953
    Abstract: A composite structure includes a base and an auxiliary portion of dissimilar materials. The auxiliary portion is shaped by stamping. As the auxiliary portion is stamped, it interlocks with the base, and at the same time forming a desired structured feature on the auxiliary portion, such as a structured reflective surface, an alignment feature, etc. With this approach, relatively less critical structured features can be shaped on the bulk of the base with less effort to maintain a relatively larger tolerance, while the relatively more critical structured features on the auxiliary portion are more precisely shaped with further considerations to define dimensions, geometries and/or finishes at relatively smaller tolerances. The auxiliary portion may include a composite structure of two dissimilar materials associated with different properties for stamping different structured features.

  • Patent number: 10385189
    Abstract: The present invention provides a graphene composite powder form material that is suitable for industrialized application. The graphene composite powder form material is composited by graphene materials and a high-molecular compound. The high-molecular compound is uniformly coated on surfaces of the graphene material. Any adjacent graphene materials are separated by the high-molecular compound. An apparent density of the graphene composite powder form material is larger than or equal to 0.02 g/cm3. Under an external pressure, the graphene materials in the graphene composite powder form material do not re-stack, and can be easily restored to original form, which benefit the storage and transportation. Besides, the graphene composite powder form material has a good compatibility in other material systems, which greatly broadens the application fields in the downstream products and successfully solves the problem in industrial application.

    Abstract: A scroll compressor includes a compression mechanism having fixed and movable scrolls forming a compression chamber, a motor to drive the movable scroll, a drive shaft, a casing, a housing accommodated inside the casing, and a floating member supported by the housing. The casing accommodates the compression mechanism, the motor, and the drive shaft. The floating member can be pushed toward the movable scroll by a pressure in a back pressure space formed between the floating member and the housing. The floating member may include a plurality of supported portions arranged circumferentially at three or more locations, and the housing may include a supporting portion supporting the supported portions. Alternatively, the floating member may include a body member and an outer peripheral member separate from the body member, the outer peripheral member mounted to an outer periphery of the body member, and the housing supports the outer peripheral member.

  • Publication number: 20190176325
    Abstract: The invention disclosed an error modeling method for six degree-of-freedom robot end effector space-curve trajectory. More specifically, the invention is focused on end effector continuous space-curve trajectory tasks, and provides an error model taking into account of the influence of interpolation algorithm and joint linkage parameter error. This method selects key trajectory points on the ideal trajectory and by inverse solution converts them to the joint space, and performs interpolation; meanwhile the linkage parameter error taken into account to obtain the actual end effector position. The distance from the planned trajectory point to the ideal trajectory curve is used as the comprehensive error to reflect the deviation from the planned trajectory to the ideal trajectory. A simple and practical error model is obtained, which provides a theoretical basis for controlling the end effector-tracking accuracy.

  • Patent number: 10088386
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to devices and/or methods for measuring three-dimensional contact stiffness of spur gear based on rough surfaces. A hexagonal mesh is used for partitioning, and areas of each square meshes are identical with respect to tooth surfaces. The embodiments include calculating contact pressure distribution of smooth tooth surface based on a finite element method and extracting node pressure of contact area Pi; and calculating contact stiffness of gear surface. Measurement herein is more precise and avoid disadvantages generated by hertz theory and the free-sliding interface. Gear stiffness properties and calculation methods are influenced by roughness parameters during rough tooth surface contacting processes. The embodiments use a finite element 3D contact stiffness calculation model, which is more accurate than former 2D calculation model or calculation formula.
