Latest Patent Applications
One of his notable patent applications is titled "Energy Transmission in a Linear Transport System." This application describes a method for transferring energy from a stationary unit to a movable unit within a linear transport system. The system features a guide rail for the movable unit, multiple stationary units, a controller, and a linear motor that drives the movable unit along the guide rail. The linear motor consists of a stator and a rotor, where the stator comprises the stationary units, each equipped with one or more drive coils. The rotor is positioned on the movable unit and contains one or more magnets. Additionally, the stationary units are designed with energy-transmitting coils, while the movable unit is fitted with at least one energy-receiving coil. The controller is responsible for determining the position data for the energy-receiving coil, selecting at least one energy-transmitting coil based on this data, and sending a control signal to the stationary unit, which includes identification information for the selected energy-transmitting coil.
Conclusion
Andreas Brinker is a promising inventor in the field of energy transmission systems, contributing to advancements in linear transport technology. His innovative approach has the potential to enhance efficiency in energy transfer mechanisms.
