With a total of 3 patents to his name, Tsubakida continues to push the boundaries of innovation.
Latest Patents
One of Tsubakida's latest inventions is a device for introducing and discharging cooling air. The objective of this invention is to prevent the quantity of airflow by a fan from decreasing due to the distance between the fan and obstacles, such as an engine. This device features a shroud with a high covering rate and an airflow direction changing member positioned downstream of the fan. Each fixed blade of this member is designed with a shift angle in the radial direction and an attack angle in the rotation direction of the fan, allowing the air to be discharged outward in the radial direction.
Another significant patent is related to a heat exchanger. In this invention, an end plate of a tank, which is partitioned internally, includes multiple insertion holes that receive connecting portions of tube elements. A first projection is formed on the end plate to run through the narrow middle portions of these insertion holes. Additionally, a fit groove for the partition is created on the inside of the first projection. This design facilitates the easy flow of brazing filler material into the gaps between the insertion holes and the tube elements, ensuring effective brazing even when the core of the heat exchanger is positioned sideways on a furnace.
