  • Patent number: 9470318
    Abstract: Provided is an eccentric valve and a manufacturing method thereof. The eccentric valve has a tri-offset structure, and comprises: a valve body, a valve seat, a valve unit, a valve stem and a seal. The disc-shaped valve unit is disposed in a through hole centered in the valve body. The valve stem penetrates shaft holes on the valve unit and the valve body. Rotating the valve stem causes rotation of the valve unit for closing/opening the through hole. The valve seat is mounted on the inner surface of the through hole, and the seal is mounted on the outer surface of the valve unit. When the through hole is closed, the valve seat and the seal are mutually engaged. The inner surface of the valve seat is part of an oblique cone. The seal is a centrosymmetric ring, of which the outer surface is cambered.

  • Publication number: 20160298601
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an intelligent wind turbine generator, which comprises a first blade module, a second blade module, a power generating module, and a control module. The second blade module is disposed at the first blade module. The power generating module is connected with the first and second blade modules. The control module is connected with the power generating module, the first blade module, and the second blade module. The first and second blade modules rotate, driving the power generating module to generate power. The control module detects a voltage value generated by the power generating module and judges if the voltage value is greater or lower than a predetermined value. The control module controls whether the first and second blade modules overlap or not. The intelligent wind turbine generator is able to switch automatically the blade number of the wind turbine generator.

  • Patent number: 9317025
    Abstract: A parameter selection and calculation system for control valves has a file manage unit for integrating and storing the files generated in operation. In that, the control valve specification table for control valves of similar forms can be stored in one control valve design file instead of being stored in various different files. Furthermore, a language selection unit provides the function that a user can select a desire language for operating. Moreover, a user can enter into a numerical input unit for inputting related design parameters for a specific control valve or getting related design parameters by selected proper control valve forms in the control valve design database. Then these data are formed as control valve parameter tables acceptable by the control valve logic operation unit. Then the control valve logic operation unit will operate to get a control valve specification table by using the control valve parameter tables.

  • Patent number: 9234588
    Abstract: A flexible stuffing box packing assembly has fifth rings which are placed within a stuffing box. The pressures are transferred along the sequence of the first, second, third, fourth and fifth rings. The gaps between the first and second rings and between the fourth and fifth rings provide a space for expansion of the rings. The V shape recesses in various rings provide margins for the materials of the rings to expansion. Therefore, the structure provides that all rings can expand effectively without destroying the seal structure and the stresses from various rings will disperse effectively so that lifetime of the rings are prolong.

  • Patent number: 9217841
    Abstract: A compact camera modules has first, second, and third lens groups that move along an optical axis. A stepping motor is centered on the optical axis rather than offset from the optical axis. The motor has two coils that are fixed in place and a shared rotating magnet. The magnet is attached to a rotating guide that has slots to move the first and second lens groups as it rotates. The two coils are alternately energized to rotate the magnet, the rotating guide, and to move the first and second lens groups for zoom. The magnet has alternating thicker and thinner segments of opposite polarity. The thicker segments exert a greater force on an autofocus coil that is energized to move the third lens for the autofocus function. The same shared rotating magnet is used for both zoom and autofocus functions. A more compact design is possible using a shared magnet.

  • Publication number: 20150252904
    Abstract: A triple eccentric valve with a symmetric drain-proof ring includes a valve body, a stem, a valve disk, a waterproof washer, and a drain-proof ring. The valve disk is formed as an asymmetric conical shape. The drain-proof ring is an O ring and is arranged in a stepped recess of the valve disk to seal the waterproof washer; the drain-proof ring is symmetric to the axis of the ring. In assembly state, a periphery of the drain-proof ring resists against an inner wall of the annular seat. The drain-proof ring is symmetrical. Furthermore, an inner side or a part of the valve seat has a shape matched to a sweeping track of an outermost point of the drain-proof ring so that when the drain-proof ring moves along the valve seat, only force tangent to the inner side of the valve seat is applied from the drain-proof ring to the valve seat.
