Patents by Inventor Raphael Zhu

Raphael Zhu has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7806796
    Abstract: A power device for motor vehicles installed on a motor vehicle with an internal combustion engine is composed of a first variable displacement hydraulic activator (107), a second variable displacement hydraulic activator (108), a planetary gear mechanism (103) and a mechanical transmission (104). The power device further includes a hydraulic control device (109) and an electronic control device (112) which are used to control the first and second variable displacement hydraulic activators. The control device may carry out the following controls, that is, during the period when the engine outputs power, part of mechanical energy is converted into electric energy via the motor to be stored in the chargeable cell when the power requirement from the motor vehicle increases.

  • Publication number: 20090007773
    Abstract: An axial plunger pump or motor comprises a casing (1), a main shaft (2), a rotor cylinder (14), a rotary swash plate (9) and a plurality of plunger assemblies (10), wherein a constant velocity universal coupling (11) transmits torque between the rotary swash plate and the main shaft, such that the main shaft (14) and the rotary swash plate (9) rotate about the main shaft axis (41) and the swash plate axis (91) forming an angle therebetween, respectively, so as to realize transition between hydraulic energy and rotary mechanical energy.
