  • Patent number: 11535224
    Abstract: A heavy vehicle brake control method includes: activating two electro-pneumatic proportional valve control modules to perform braking along a front-axle electrical brake loop and a rear-axle electrical brake loop, respectively; while the two electro-pneumatic proportional valve control modules perform braking along the front-axle electrical brake loop and the rear-axle electrical brake loop, judging malfunctions by detecting the two electro-pneumatic proportional valve control modules; if none of the malfunctions is detected, the two electro-pneumatic proportional valve control modules continuing to perform braking along the front-axle electrical brake loop and the rear-axle electrical brake loop; and, if one or more malfunctions are detected, then switching on a brake-pedal cable control module to control the brake pedal of the brake valve to perform braking. In addition, a heavy vehicle brake control device is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20180191218
    Abstract: An electric motor includes a casing, a stator, a rotor and a first coolant guiding structure. The stator is stored in a storage space of the casing. The stator includes a stator yoke and winding sets. The stator yoke has first side, second side, annular external surface and guiding channel. The first coolant guiding structure is disposed close to the winding sets and an inlet channel. The first coolant guiding structure has first radially guiding channel and first axially guiding channel. Two ends of the first radially guiding channel respectively have a first radial inlet and a first radial outlet. The first radial inlet is connected to the first axially guiding channel in order to receive coolant from the first axially guiding channel. The first radial outlet is aligned with at least one of the winding sets in order to supply coolant to the winding sets.

  • Publication number: 20120290186
    Abstract: A conveying device includes a multiplexing control device and power wheels, and the multiplexing control device includes sensors, a bus, a first controller and a second controller. The sensors are used to receive travelling information and output sensing signals. The bus is used to receive the sensing signals and output the sensing signals to the first controller and the second controller. When the conveying device operates, the first controller controls the power wheels according to the sensing signals. If the sensing signals are too complicated, the second controller performs processing together with the first controller. If the first controller is damaged, the second controller replaces the first controller and controls the power wheels according to the sensing signals.

  • Patent number: 6722209
    Abstract: A Coriolis force type flow meter uses an optical interferometer as the measuring device. When a tube that a fluid flows through experiences a bending vibration caused by an external stimulating source, the tube also has a twist vibration due to the action of the Coriolis force. The optical interferometer is then employed to measure the tiny angular change in the amplitude of the tube vibration. From such a measurement, one can determine the flux of the fluid in the tube.
