Title: Teruo Sugimoto and His Vuilleumier Heat Pump Patent.
Introduction
Teruo Sugimoto is an inventor associated with Hyogo, Japan, and Mitsubishi Denki Kabushiki Kaisha, also known as Mitsubishi Electric Corporation. His patent work includes an invention concerning the design and operation of a Vuilleumier heat pump.
Latest Patents
Sugimoto is credited with 1 patent. His patent, “Vuilleumier Heat Pump,” describes hot and cold displacers supported by coil springs in separate buffer chambers. The design uses pressure differences between the working gas and the buffer chambers to create forced vibration of the displacers, while a linear motor drives the hot displacer in reciprocating motion. The approach aims to simplify and reduce the size of the displacer-driving mechanism while allowing greater flexibility in the arrangement of the hot and cold cylinders.
Career Highlights
Sugimoto’s recorded patent contribution focuses on a mechanical system for driving the displacers in a Vuilleumier heat pump. The invention addresses both the structure of the drive mechanism and the placement of the heat pump’s cylinders.
Collaborations
The patent record names Tetsuya Honda and Takuya Suganami as Sugimoto’s coworkers.
Conclusion
Teruo Sugimoto’s patent presents a compact, simplified approach to driving the displacers of a Vuilleumier heat pump, with the potential to ease constraints on cylinder arrangement.
