  • Publication number: 20190360566
    Abstract: A transmission structure of an ozone testing machine has: a transmission frame, a rotation unit, a connecting unit, and a lifting unit. The transmission structure is connected to the lifting shaft and the lifting device via the connecting unit, the bottom of the sleeve of the connecting unit is provided with threaded member screwed to the threaded rod of the lifting device, and the sleeve is fixed onto the sliding member to achieve the linear displacement along the guiding track. During the clockwise and reverse rotations of the servo motor of the lifting device, the lifting shaft can achieve the synchronous operation of the rotation and lifting due to the limited connection with the connecting unit, thereby greatly improving the smoothness of the test process, while maintaining the static and dynamic tests.

  • Publication number: 20190360602
    Abstract: A pressure relief valve assembly includes a carrier, a valve, and a baffle. The carrier includes a first end and a second end. The first end defines a first opening. The second end defines a second opening. The carrier defines a flow passage extending from the first opening to the second opening. The valve is supported by the carrier and is operable in an open position and a closed position. In the open position, the valve permits a flow of fluid through the first opening. In the closed position, the valve inhibits the flow of fluid through the first opening. The baffle is disposed in the flow passage. The baffle and the carrier collectively define a flowpath extending through the flow passage.

  • Publication number: 20190360606
    Abstract: A new valve for regulating the flow of liquid has two housings that are removably attached to one another. When the housings are separated, the liquid can no longer pass through the valve. A system of magnetic elements is used to cycle the flow of liquid (urine) through the valve. The valve is typically connected to an indwelling bladder catheter and the valve allows the patient to be at least temporarily disconnected from a collection bag.

  • Publication number: 20190360608
    Abstract: An energy saving system utilizing temperature sensing flow control valve to realizing chilled water loop is provided, which includes an air blower, a temperature sensing flow control valve and a temperature setter. The air blower is disposed in the chilled water loop of a building to chill the air by the chilled water loop and then discharge the chilled air from the air outlet of the air blower. The valve is connected to a chilled water outlet beside the air blower and controls the flow of the chilled water flowing from the air blower to the chilled water loop. The temperature setter is connected to the valve and detects the temperature of the air discharged from the air outlet; the temperature setter opens or closes the temperature sensing flow control valve according to the detected air temperature and adjusts the flow of the chilled water by the valve.

  • Publication number: 20190360612
    Abstract: An adjustable mounting apparatus is disclosed for securing devices to a wall, such as speakers and the like, and includes a cable pass through for routing associated device cables through the wall. The adjustable mounting apparatus includes a rigid frame with a lip having an opening therein, a rearward extending sidewall surrounding the opening, and rearwardly extending guide members extending rearward from said sidewalls and terminating at their ends into a cross-member. To secure the rigid frame to a wall the guide members including attached clamp arms are passed through a hole in the wall and the clamp arms are rotated to draw the clamp arms toward the rear surface of the wall while thereby forcing the front lip of the mounting apparatus against the front surface of the wall to secure it thereon. A rigid mounting plate is snap fit into the opening and includes a load arm adjustable within the mounting plate for angular adjustability of an attached device.

    Abstract: A cable hanger for mounting cables to a mounting structure includes: a base panel; a pair of arms attached to opposite ends of the base panel; and a pair of locking projections, each locking projection being attached adjacent a free end of a respective arm. Each arm is configured to define a respective internal cavity configured to grasp cable. The arms and the base panel combine to define an external cavity for grasping cable. The cable hanger can be deflected from a relaxed state to a deflected state by forcing the locking projections toward each other. In the deflected state the cable hanger may be mounted to a mounting structure, with the arms inserted through a hole in the mounting structure and exerting outward pressure on edges of the hole, and the locking projections maintaining the cable hanger in a mounted position on the mounting structure.
