  • Publication number: 20230361648
    Abstract: A tumbler-type vehicle-mounted flywheel energy storage device with five-degree-of-freedom magnetic suspension support for an electric vehicle is provided. A flywheel is formed into a bowl by a metal flywheel rotor and a composite material ring by interference fit. The metal flywheel rotor comprises an upper-section ring, a mid-section hollow hemisphere, and a lower-section ring. The composite material ring is closely fitted outside the upper-section ring to form a bowl-shaped bowl opening part. An annular axial thrust disc protrudes inward in a radial direction from an inner wall on a bottom end of the upper-section ring. An area above the axial thrust disc is a bowl opening empty slot layer, and an area below the axial thrust disc is a sphere empty slot layer and a bowl bottom empty slot layer in sequence, which form an inner cavity of the flywheel. A supporting frame is fitted in an inner stator.

  • Publication number: 20230311423
    Abstract: A heat press includes a lower platen and an upper swing arm attached to a base, and an upper platen having a heater therein. The upper platen is coupled to the upper swing arm via a piston rod, and operable via a linkage. The linkage includes a coupler linked between the upper swing arm and a print handle and includes an input link that rotationally couples the print handle to the piston rod such that a motion of the print handle moves the piston rod up or down. The heat press includes a control housing that is electrically coupled to the heater. The upper swing arm is operable to swing the upper platen away from the lower platen when not in contact with the lower platen. The control housing remains in a stationary position regardless of a position of the upper swing arm.
