  • Publication number: 20240013956
    Abstract: The present invention provides a ring varistor for use in DC micromotor including a ring varistor substrate having nonlinear volt-ampere characteristics and at least three independent electrodes evenly sintered on an end face of the ring varistor substrate. The electrode gap between two adjacent electrodes consists of two straight parallel edges of the two adjacent electrodes, and an inner and an outer concentric arc on the substrate ring, the electrode gap is not orthogonal to the ring. Due to the asymmetry arrangement of the surface electrodes and the electrode gaps, the electrode materials and the substrate materials with different thermal conductivity have no contact cross distribution with each other at the radial electrode gap. During welding, the heat shock is transmitted asymmetrically through the asymmetric electrodes, to improve the uniformity of the heat conduction distribution of the varistor and reduce the defective rate of the substrate welding fracture.

  • Patent number: 10823309
    Abstract: Retractable handle assembly used in a valve of an Intermediate bulk container (IBC) includes a valve body, a valve core, and a valve stem. The valve stem is used to drive the valve core to move so as to open/close the valve. The handle of the handle assembly is connected to the valve stem and can be rotated around the central rotating axis of the valve stem. When the valve needs to be opened/closed, the handle is rotated around the central rotating axis to a deployed state to open/close the valve. The handle is rotated around the central rotating axis to a retracted state so as to reduce the space occupied by the valve for the valve to be welded to the liner bag or installed to IBC. The handle can be switched between a deployed state and a retracted state.
