Patent number: 9945457Abstract: A linear rotary mechanism includes: a pair of elongated guide rails in parallel to each other: a linear motor having a tubular primary side slidably disposed on the guide rails and a shaft-shaped secondary side coaxially extending into an internal hole of the tubular primary side, the shaft-shaped secondary side being axially linearly reciprocally movable along the tubular primary side; and a rotary motor fixedly disposed on the guide rails and connected with one end of the shaft-shaped secondary side. Accordingly, the rotary motor is linearly reciprocally movable along the tubular primary side in synchronism with the shaft-shaped secondary side and the guide rails.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2015Date of Patent: April 17, 2018Assignee: HIWIN MIKROSYSTEM CORP.Inventors: Kou-I Szu, Yu-Jung Chang, Chih-Kai Fan, Ying-Jung Chen

Patent number: 9680354Abstract: A winding cooling structure of shaft motor includes a chamber in which multiple annular windings are received. A cooling fluid is filled up in the chamber to possibly contact the surfaces of every part of the respective windings. Therefore, heat generated by the windings can be quickly transferred to the cooling fluid around the windings and dissipated. Accordingly, in operation, the heat dissipation efficiency of the shaft motor can be enhanced to prolong lifetime of the motor and ensure the performance of the motor.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2014Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: HIWIN MIKROSYSTEM CORP.Inventors: Yu-Jung Chang, Chih-Kai Fan, Sheng-Shiun Huang

Patent number: 9065311Abstract: A linear motor cooling mechanism includes two cooling sections. Each cooling section is composed of multiple bypass heads, which are serially connected with each other. The cooling sections are additionally fixedly disposed on the linear motor. Each cooling section has a main flow way and multiple bypass flow ways in communication with the main flow way. External air is guided through the main flow way and distributed to the bypass flow ways so as to controllably flow toward the position of the mover of the linear motor for achieving an air-cooling heat dissipation effect.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2012Date of Patent: June 23, 2015Assignee: HIWIN MIKROSYSTEM CORP.Inventors: Yu-Jung Chang, Bo-Sheng Huang, Chih-Kai Fan

Patent number: 9048707Abstract: A linear motor air-cooling structure includes two cooling sections. Each cooling section has an elongated board-shaped main body. The main body is attached to a lateral side of the stator of the linear motor. An air flow way is formed in the main body. The external air can be uniformly guided through the air flow way and distributed to every part of the linear motor. Accordingly, in operation, a better air-cooling effect is provided for the linear motor.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2012Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: Hiwin Mikrosystem Corp.Inventors: Yu-Jung Chang, Bo-Sheng Huang, Chih-Kai Fan
