  • Patent number: 10305340
    Abstract: An armature for a permanent magnet brushed motor includes a shaft, a number of silicon steel laminations circumferentially around the shaft, a commutator adjacent to an end of the shaft, and an enameled wire winding wound around the silicon steel laminations and the commutator. A plastic sleeve capable of withstanding high temperature is disposed between the commutator and the silicon steel laminations and adjacent to the commutator. A plastic member wraps around where the enameled wire winding winds the commutator, and fixedly attaching to the plastic sleeve. As such, the plastic member establishes a first point of attachment at where the enameled wire winding winds the commutator and a second point of attachment to the plastic sleeve. The problem of the enameled wire winding being loosed or broken due to the armature's high-speed rotation is prevented, thereby enhancing the motor's robustness and operational life.

  • Patent number: 9787866
    Abstract: An image scanning method is applied in an image scanning device which includes an input tray and a paper feeding sensor. The method detects whether there are papers on the input tray in step one. If there are papers, step two is executed. Otherwise, the method ends and an error is reported. In step two, papers are separated and fed. Whether the papers contact the paper feeding sensor is detected in step three. The method executes step four if the papers contact the paper feeding sensor, and ends the method with an error message otherwise. In step four, the method scans and detects whether an image of a fed edge of each of the papers is abnormal. If the image is abnormal, the method ends and an error is reported. Otherwise, scanning continues.

  • Patent number: 9476416
    Abstract: The air compressor contains a casing member, a driving member, and a cylinder member. The casing member has a first accommodation section, a second accommodation section, and a connection section connecting the first and second accommodation sections. The first accommodation section has a number of first inlets and first outlets. The driving member is located between the first and second accommodation sections, and is adjacent to the first outlets. The cylinder member is located both in the second accommodation section and the connection section, and is adjacent to the second outlets. The outside cool air is drawn into the casing member through the first inlets. A portion of the drawn air is released through the first outlets, forming a first flow path for cooling down the driving member. Another portion is released through the second outlets, forming a second flow path for cooling down the cylinder member.

  • Patent number: 9247085
    Abstract: A wireless scanner includes an optical scanning assembly which includes a housing, a light source circuit board, a reflective member and an image capture module. The housing has a bottom wall defining a window, a high end wall, a short end wall and two side walls. Two edges of the two side walls connecting with the top wall and the short end wall are defined as slopes. The light source circuit board is mounted to one of the two side walls and inclined upward and outward. The reflective member is mounted to the slopes and receives light from the light source circuit board to reflect it uniformly on the window. The image capture module is mounted to the high end wall for receiving light which is from an original in the window and reflected by the reflective member and then transmitting it to a Printed Circuit Board assembly.
