Patents by Inventor Hong-Sheng Fang

Hong-Sheng Fang has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7278839
    Abstract: A multi-stage vacuum pump includes a plurality of casings connected in series and each casing defining a respective compression chamber, a plurality of partition plates each set in between each two casings. When compressed by rotors at shafts in one compression chamber, compressed air passes through the air path formed in the corresponding partition plate to the next compression chamber for further compression, and finally compressed air passes to the last compression chamber through the air path formed in the last partition plate. Because the invention is designed to let compressed air directly pass through the air path in each partition plate, the outer diameter and volume of the multi-stage vacuum pump can be minimized to reduce the weight and the manufacturing cost.

  • Patent number: 6312242
    Abstract: An asymmetric double screw rotor assembly includes two asymmetric screw rotors respectively revolvably meshed together in a casing having an inlet and an outlet, the spiral threads of the screw rotors defining an uniform pitch, the outer diameter of the first screw rotor and the inner root diameter of the second rotor being uniform, the inner root diameter of the first screw rotor gradually increased from the inlet of the casing toward the outlet, the outer diameter of the second screw rotor gradually reduced from the inlet of the casing toward the outlet. Upon respective rotary motion of the screw rotors, the volume of the respective air chambers gradually reduces from the inlet of the casing toward the outlet.

  • Patent number: 6257854
    Abstract: A double screw rotor assembly includes two screw rotors meshed in a bushing inside a casing. The threads of the screw rotors have a uniform pitch, and define with the bushing a plurality of air chambers in the pitch. The volumes of the air chambers reduce gradually from the inlet toward the output due to the reduce of tooth high so that the outer diameter defined by the tooth tip of the thread of each screw rotor has the shape of an invertedly disposed cone. Adjustable spring means is provided to impart an axial spring force to the bushing relative to the casing, guide means is provided to guide axial movement of the bushing relative to the casing, and a O-ring is disposed between the top wall of the bushing and the casing. Adjusting the pre-loading of the spring means controls the dimension of the clearance between the inside wall of the bushing and the tooth tip of the thread of each screw rotor.

  • Patent number: 6257839
    Abstract: A double screw rotor assembly includes two screw rotors meshed in a bushing inside a casing. The threads of the screw rotors have a constant pitch, and define with the bushing a plurality of air chambers in the pitch. The volumes of the air chambers reduce gradually from the inlet toward the outlet due to reduced tooth height so that the outer diameter defined by the tooth tip of the thread of each screw rotor has the shape of an invertedly disposed cone. An electric driving device is controlled to move the bushing axially in the casing relative to the screw rotors in adjusting the clearance between the inside wall of the bushing and the tooth tip of the thread of each screw rotor, so as to minimize the consumption of starting power and facilitate stable running of the screw rotors, Further, a O-ring is provided at the top wall of the busing and pressed on the casing to keep an airtight status, so as to improve the working efficiency.

  • Patent number: 6176694
    Abstract: A power-saving, low-noise double screw rotor assembly, which includes a casing and a pair of screw rotors, wherein the casing has an inside wall defining a compression chamber, an inlet port and an outlet port communicating with the compression chamber. The screw rotors are mounted in the compression chamber and meshed together, each having a spiral thread around the periphery. The thread defines an equidistant pitch. The addendum of the thread defines an outside diameter and is abutted against the inside wall of the casing, the dedendum defines a root diameter. A thread height is defined between the addendum of thread and the dedendum of thread, the thread height gradually reduces in direction from the inlet port toward the outlet port. The dedendum of thread and side walls of the thread of each screw rotor define with the inside wall of the casing at least one transfer chamber having a volume gradually reducing in direction from the inlet port toward the outlet port.
