  • Patent number: 9541146
    Abstract: A braking device is used in a motor of an actuator having a shaft. The braking device includes a base, an elastic unit, a braking mechanism and a stopper. The base includes an axial connected section and a placed section. The elastic unit is disposed at the placed section. The braking mechanism is assembled at the axial connected section. The braking mechanism includes a braking ring sleeved on the shaft and a coil spring tightened to the outer peripheral edge of the braking ring. A first torque arm and a second torque arm extend from the two ends of the coil spring. The first torque arm abuts one end of the elastic unit. The stopper corresponds to the rotational path of the second torque arm and is disposed at the base. Thereby, the assembly is easier and the braking ring has a more stable effect of braking.

  • Publication number: 20160309889
    Abstract: An electrical adjustable table (10, 10?, 8) and its control method are disclosed. The control method of the electrical adjustable table includes following steps. Initialize an internal setting value or a user setting value. Enter a static status. Extend or shrink a table foot (11, 11?, 86) for adjusting the height of a table plate (13, 13?, 88) heading to a first direction according to an operation to a hand control device (25, 84). Stop adjusting the height of the table plate (13, 13?, 88) when a motion sensor unit is used and detects the table plate tilted during adjusting the height of the table plate. The method effectively prevents the table plate to keep lifting when the table plate hits an obstacle to avoid objects fallen, the obstacle damaged or malfunction of the electrical adjustable table.
