  • Publication number: 20230387590
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to motor system for a multi-RET actuator system. The motor system includes a rotor configured to rotate within an interior cavity of a stator, a drive shaft coupled to the rotor and to a drive assembly of the multi-RET actuator system, an annular disc surrounding the stator, the annular disc is coupled to the rotor such that rotation of the rotor causes simultaneous rotation of the annular disc, a plurality of spaced apart magnets embedded within the annular disc, a HALL effect sensor, and a motor speed controller in communication with the rotor and the HALL effect sensor. Methods for controlling the position and speed of a motor system are also described herein.

  • Publication number: 20230147936
    Abstract: Multi-RET actuators include a plurality of shafts that have respective axially-drivable members mounted thereon. Each of axially-drivable member is mechanically linked to a respective one of a plurality of phase shifters. The multi-RET actuator further includes a motor having a drive shaft and a gear system that is configured to selectively couple the motor to the respective shafts. The gear system is configured so that rotation of the drive shaft in a first direction creates a mechanical linkage between the motor and a first of the shafts, and rotation of the drive shaft in a second direction that is opposite the first direction rotates the first of the shafts.

  • Patent number: 10300364
    Abstract: A method of driving a manned vehicle includes following steps of: acquiring correspondingly initial weight values of a plurality of weight sensors, each weight sensor is corresponding to a direction; acquiring correspondingly weight measurement values by the weight sensors; calculating correspondingly a weight ratio of each weight sensor according to the initial weight value and the weight measurement value of each weight sensor; producing a control command according to the direction corresponding to the weight sensor when the weight ratio of any one of the weight sensors is greater than a first threshold value; and driving the manned vehicle to move according to the control command. Accordingly, it is to effectively reduce the size and weight of the manned vehicle and reduce the difficulty of controlling the manned vehicle by intuitively controlling moving directions of the manned vehicle according to variations of the center of gravity of a user.

  • Patent number: 9340099
    Abstract: A hybrid power transmission integrated system includes a first planetary gear train, a second planetary gear train, a first transmission-connecting set and a second transmission-connecting set. A control method includes: arranging the first transmission-connecting set to provide a first power input end; arranging the second transmission-connecting set to provide a second power input end, a first power output end and a free transmission end; connecting the first and second transmission-connecting sets to the first and second planetary gear trains; controlling the free transmission end performed as a second power output end or a third power input end such that powers are converted via the second power output end and are stored; supplying the stored power to the hybrid power transmission integrated system via the second or third power input end.
