  • Patent number: 11606004
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a self-cooling motor and a hot-air-circulation device using the same. The self-cooling motor includes a housing, a stator assembly, a rotor assembly and an impeller. The housing includes a sleeve and a bottom plate. The sleeve has a first end and a second end opposite to each other. The bottom plate is disposed adjacent to the first end and forms an inlet facing a radial direction. The rotor assembly coupled to the stator assembly includes a shaft extending outside the housing along an axial direction. The impeller is fixed to the shaft and is adjacent to the second end to form an outlet facing the radial direction. When the shaft drives the impeller to rotate, the airflow enters through the inlet and is discharged from the outlet in the radial direction.

  • Publication number: 20060083643
    Abstract: A pump includes a case, a base disposed in the case and a rotor. The rotor includes a magnetic extension portion which surrounds a yoke. The pump gains efficiency in view of the above without increasing volume. Furthermore, the pump includes a first magnet and a second magnet, positioned on the rotor and the inside of the case individually. A magnetic force is generated between the first and second magnets to limit the rotor to rotate in a predetermined position, increasing utility life of the pump.

  • Patent number: 6836034
    Abstract: The non-biasing guiding mechanism related to CD-R drives is used to drive a data access device to move along a particular direction and to access the data on a CD. The shaft of the non-biasing guiding mechanism is fixed by an axis-fixing member. The axis-fixing member has ring parts on the opposite ends and a receiver integrally formed with the ring part in a concentric way. The ring part is coiled by a coil and sets inside the drive, and the hole is used for positioning the shaft and sets outside the drive. Therefore, the biasing problem of the shaft can be solved by using the axis-fixing member.
