  • Publication number: 20110273050
    Abstract: An adjustable axial-flux disc motor, that is used in a flat space formed at a side or at the center of a wheel center for driving the wheel to rotate. The motor is activated to perform a rotation movement by the interactions of an electromagnetic field formed from the passing of an electric current through the armatures of its stator and a magnetic field resulting from the permanent magnet of its rotator. Moreover, there is a circular air gap sandwiched between the stator base and the rotator base, and the permanent magnet is further surrounded by coils. By adjusting the excitation current of the coils, the magnetic flux intensity can be modulated accordingly, and as the air gap magnetic flux is varied with the relative positioning of the stator and the rotator, the output characteristic of the motor will be varied accordingly.

  • Patent number: 7872369
    Abstract: A balanced bridge electric gear-shifting mechanism comprises a signal input stage, a balanced bridge circuit and a signal output stage. The mechanism, by means of inputting different up and down gear signals to enact an analog gear-shifting apparatus to generate different voltage potentials, effectively improves the drawbacks of wrong gear shifting induced by a conventional digital gear shifting apparatus for wrongly touching the up and down shifting gear, so as to reduce the gear-shifting duration, enhance the gear-shifting smoothness, and enhance the system reliability and stability.
