  • Publication number: 20040070892
    Abstract: A thermally suppressing circuit mainly comprises a restart-charging drive member, a coil set, a restart-charging capacitor, and a charging switch set. The restart-charging drive member is electrically connected to the coil set and the restart-charging capacitor while the charging switch set connected between the coil set and the restart-charging capacitor. The charging switch set is used to access signals output from the restart-charging drive member. In abnormal operation, as the restart-charging drive member may turn on an auto-restart function to output a high or low voltage signal, the charging switch set is turned on to accelerate charging the restart-charging capacitor to thereby avoid overcurrent passing the coil set.

  • Patent number: 6652147
    Abstract: A bearing structure includes a bearing having a shaft hole formed by an inner wall of the bearing. The outer periphery of the bearing has multiple outer walls and multiple deformable zones. The multiple outer walls are located at the axial direction of the same radius circumference with the center of the shaft hole as a center of circle thereof. Each of the multiple deformable zones is provided on the outer periphery of the bearing between any two outer walls, and is deformable to absorb an outer stress. When the bearing is closely mounted in a shaft tube during a punching process, the multiple deformable zones of the outer face of the bearing may absorb the outer stress, thereby preventing the inner wall of the bearing from being deformed.
