Nitrogen infusion module

According to one or exemplary embodiments, there is provided a Gas Infusion Module that is a compact, inexpensive, adjustable, and easy to clean apparatus for infusing a beverage, such as coffee or tea, with a gas. The Gas Infusion Module controls the mixing of the gas with a liquid beverage in a homogenization element. To achieve an enhanced homogenization of gas and liquid, first the Gas Infusion Module regulates the pressure of gas that will enter the homogenization element and mix with the liquid. Additionally, the liquid and gas mixture passes through an outlet check valve which forces greater homogenization of the aerated fluid before it is dispensed for consumption.

A torque-limiting coupling may be used to provide a torsion drive between an engine or motor and a driven accessory. If an accessory should experience a catastrophic failure a torsion limit is exceeded and a spline breaks away from the coupling. This guarantees that the internal engine gearing used to drive the accessory is not compromised and interfering with essential moving parts inside the engine. Further, a misalignment compensation limits the side load and wear that occurs when coupling two precision shafts with little clearance on the bearings. With a misalignment coupling, the mount can be slightly out of parallel with no negative effects.

A brushless, liquid or air cooled, direct current motor formed from a three stack stator and three section rotor assembly using an integrated water cooled or air cooled housing and over-molding techniques.

In one embodiment, an apparatus for manufacturing an internal wound stator includes a winding arbor, a stator loader, a first movable member, and a second rotating member. The stator includes an interior opening and multiple axial slots. The interior opening has a diameter larger than an exterior dimension of the winding arbor. The winding arbor includes an interior and a port being at a central portion of the member. The stator loader supports the stator. The first movable member moves port of the winding arbor through the interior opening of the stator along a first axial slot of the axial slots. The second rotating member rotates the stator and the port of the winding arbor with respect to one another to align the port with a second axial slot of the axial slots. The first movable member moves the port through the second axial slot of the stator.

A method and mechanism for automatic or manual winding of a stator. A fixed arbor serves to support the stator during the winding process, as well as a wire feed point and wire guide. A mechanism moves the stator in a back and forth motion along the major axis of the arbor. Proper axial position of the wire is maintained by the outer surface of the arbor and the axial slot itself. The arbor has a channel that serves to guide the wire, allowing it exit in each of the two possible longitudinal directions along the major axis of the arbor.

A rotor having a substantially cylindrical configuration for use in a brushless direct current electric motor having a high torque to size ratio. The rotor has an outer peripheral surface. The rotor also has a central rotor shaft and a first and second retaining ends mounted on the central rotor shaft and spaced from one another. The rotor also has a plurality of magnets configured to provide a magnetic flux with a stator disposed around the central rotor shaft. The magnets are radially disposed on the shaft and the rotor also has a sheath. The sheath is crimped around the radially disposed permanent magnets, and holds the magnets around the shaft. The sheath is lightweight and minimizes a gap between the permanent magnets and the stator to provide for an electromagnetic flux between the magnets and the stator windings, and for rotation of the central rotor shaft.

An electric machine, such as a brushless direct current motor, includes a number of stator formed as stator sections. The stator sections are longitudinally offset from each other along a common central axis of the electric machine. The stator sections are magnetically independent of one another, but are electrically driven with offset phases typically in a manner similar to a standard multi-phase motor. The stator sections may be further offset with one another in radial position. The structure of the stator sections provides advantages in terms of efficiency, power consumption, torque, and thermal performance, and can be especially advantageous where a battery is used to power the motor, such as in portable hand tools or driving motors for vehicles.
