Patents by Inventor Yanfei LIAO

Yanfei LIAO 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: 11025139
    Abstract: A motor includes a stator, a rotor rotatable relative to the stator, a circuit board fixed to the stator, and a heat sink disposed on the circuit board, a side surface of the circuit board facing the heat sink has an insulating region and a metal heat dissipation region without solder mask. The thermal resistance between the circuit board and the heat sink can be reduced by the metal heat dissipation region, thereby improving the heat dissipation of the circuit board.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 1, 2018
    Date of Patent: June 1, 2021
    Assignee: JOHNSON ELECTRIC INTERNATIONAL AG

  • Patent number: 9577502
    Abstract: A transverse flux motor (10) includes a housing (20), a stator (50), and a rotor (30) external to the stator (50) and installed onto the housing. The stator (50) includes a stator sub-assembly including at least one pair of stator core elements (52), each having multiple stator pole teeth (56) circumferentially offset from pole teeth of the other stator core element in the pair. The rotor (30) includes a rotor body (32) made of a single piece part or multiple rotor body laminas (36). The rotor body (32) includes multiple magnetic flux retention features (40) for positioning first magnets (34). Two adjacent magnetic flux retention features (48) define a second magnet retention feature (47) for positioning a second magnet (45) that form a substantially U-shape together with two neighboring first magnets with the same magnetic poles facing each other.
