  • Patent number: 10356962
    Abstract: The invention discloses a power electronic device cooling system, which includes an air conditioning unit, a coolant pump (31), a bypass throttling element (32) and a cooler. The coolant pump (31) takes liquid from a first condenser (13) of the air conditioning unit, a liquid coolant enters the cooler after being throttled by the bypass throttling element (32), the low-temperature coolant cools a power electronic device at the cooler, and the coolant enters an evaporator (11) of the air conditioning unit to finish a cooling cycle after flowing out of the cooler. The power electronic device cooling system has a good cooling effect, and is high in cooling efficiency, small in equipment size and low in noise, and moreover, the power electronic device may be located in a sealed environment and prevented from influence of dust, and is internally clean and long in operation life.

  • Publication number: 20190086124
    Abstract: Disclosed is a high-temperature air conditioning device. By changing an arrangement mode of throttle valves, a pressure of refrigerant inside a low-pressure pipeline is made to be lower than a pressure of refrigerant inside a medium-pressure pipeline, thus ensuring that the refrigerant, used for cooling components, inside the low-pressure pipeline has a low pressure, thereby solving a problem in the prior art that a frequency converter, a motor and lubricating oil are not cooled sufficiently or cannot be cooled due to excessively high evaporation pressure.

  • Patent number: 9902001
    Abstract: A table saw includes a base, a work table having a cutting opening, a tank for receiving cooling liquid, a blade partly extending out from the cutting opening, and a guard assembly. The guard assembly includes a guard for covering the blade and for moving upwards under the action of a workpiece. In a working condition, at least a portion of the guard abuts against the workpiece, and the workpiece can slide relative to the guard. The guard has a guiding wall which abuts against the workpiece in the working condition and which guides the cooling liquid into a kerf in the workpiece formed by the blade. The table saw effectively controls the cooling liquid splashed during the cutting operation of the workpiece and prevents the cooling liquid from splashing to dirty the operator, the work table, and the workpiece.

  • Publication number: 20160209584
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to control the acoustic properties of optical cables used as in-well oil and gas probes for acoustic monitoring, such as distributed acoustic sensing (DAS). One example aspect provides a solid path for the acoustic wave to propagate from an outside armor layer of the cable to the sensing optical waveguide embedded therein. Another example aspect offers ways to spatially dispose the optical sensing elements to create response delays indicative of the propagation speed and/or direction of an acoustic wave. Yet another example aspect provides ways to utilize additional spectral interrogation to increase ultimate spatial resolution. Yet another example aspect provides ways to locally vary the acoustic properties along the length of the cable.

  • Publication number: 20150096044
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and a device for adjusting screen locking time, and an electronic terminal. Time interval values T1, T2, . . . , and TN between screen locking and screen unlocking for consecutive N times are acquired, and when it is determined that the acquired time interval values T1, T2, . . . , and TN are all in a preset threshold range, a current screen locking time value is updated into the sum of the current screen locking time value and a preset time delay value. In the disclosure, a usage situation in which the terminal automatically locks the screen and a user unlocks the screen is monitored in real time, and according to the time intervals between screen locking and screen unlocking for consecutive N times, it is determined whether the current screen locking time is appropriate in the current usage environment and situation.
