The rotor core has a plurality of magnetic member units arranged around a periphery of the rotor core. Each magnetic member unit includes two first magnetic members and a second magnetic member. The two first magnetic members are obliquely arranged in a V shape relative to a center of the rotor core. The second magnetic member extends transversely between the two first magnetic members. Each first magnetic member has at least two permanent magnets that are arranged obliquely. The motor further includes a stator core covering the rotor core. The stator core has a plurality of stator windings arranged annularly. The stator windings correspond to the magnetic member units.

Publication number: 20230248545Abstract: A below-elbow prosthetic arm assembly includes a hand; an arm connected to the hand; a cylinder connected to the arm; and a string connected to the rear end of the cylinder. To start using the prosthetic arm, the user's amputated upper limb is enclosed by the cylinder and tied thereto with a string. The below-elbow prosthetic arm assembly further includes an expansion kit adapted to meet the user's needs in daily lives, learning and sports. The expansion kit is directly fitted to the hand. Function expansion is achieved without removing the hand. Therefore, the below-elbow prosthetic arm exhibits enhanced ease of use and minimizes the user's financial burdens which might otherwise arise from ordering customized prosthetic arms for use in different activities.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2022Publication date: August 10, 2023Inventors: YANG-KUN OU, CHIA-HSUAN LIAO, HSUAN-YEN LEE, KAI-JUNG PENG, FENG-JIA ZHENG, WEI MING KOK, YU-KUAN MO

Patent number: 11695310Abstract: A motor, a cooling device, and a cooling method are disclosed. The cooling device is mounted on a stator of the motor. The cooling device includes a sleeve and a spiral duct. A wall of the sleeve has a spiral groove extending along the sleeve. The sleeve is sleeved onto the stator. The spiral duct is mounted in the spiral groove. The spiral duct has a first spiral form corresponding to the spiral groove, so that the spiral duct is correspondingly installed in the spiral groove. The spiral duct has a second spiral form extending along the spiral duct. A twisted spiral cooling channel is formed along the spiral pathway. A cooling fluid flowing through the twisted spiral cooling channel is subjected to the continuously changing cross-section of the twisted spiral cooling channel to enhance the swirl intensity, thereby improving the convection heat transfer effectiveness.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2020Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: National Cheng Kung UniversityInventors: Mi-Ching Tsai, Shyy-Woei Chang, Min-Fu Hsieh, Kai-Jung Shih, Wei-Ling Cai, Jen-Hsiang Liu

Patent number: 11469703Abstract: A circuit system and a circuit control method applied to a motor drive are disclosed. The circuit control method includes the steps of providing a phase-locked circuit unit and providing a PWM control unit. The phase-locked circuit unit enables a first carrier signal and a second carrier signal to have identical amplitudes and starting points. The PWM control unit compares the first carrier signal with a reference signal for controlling a switch. When a load current is independently supplied by at least one DC capacitor, a SVPWM control unit controls an inverter unit for the load current to be zero, thereby reducing DC voltage ripple, operation loss and transient voltage surge.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2021Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: National Cheng Kung UniversityInventors: Mi-Ching Tsai, Fu-Sheng Pai, Min-Fu Hsieh, Kai-Jung Shih, Zheng-Xuan Wu
