Title: Zhong Ping Wu: Vehicle Access and Drive-Unit Innovations

Introduction

Zhong Ping Wu is an inventor based in Shenzhen, China, whose patent work includes mechanisms for vehicle door locks and electric drive units. His listed portfolio includes 2 patents, and he is associated with Johnson Electric S.A.

Latest Patents

Wu’s listed patents address mechanical components used in vehicle access and powered systems.

The patent titled “Vehicle Door Lock Actuator” describes a motor-driven gear arrangement for a vehicle door lock mechanism. The motor turns a first gear, which drives second and third gears. A toothless section on the second gear temporarily disengages the gears, while a projection on the third gear and fixed stops help control its rotation. When the gears re-engage, the third gear turns until its projection reaches a stop.

The patent titled “Drive Unit” describes an electric motor connected to a worm shaft, worm gear, and output shaft. The worm shaft is made of plastic and receives a press-fitted metallic sleeve mounted on the motor shaft. The sleeve’s non-circular outer profile fits a corresponding opening in the worm shaft, allowing the motor shaft to rotate and drive the worm shaft.

Career Highlights

Wu’s listed inventions focus on practical electromechanical designs. The door-lock actuator uses coordinated gears and stops to manage movement, while the drive unit combines a plastic worm shaft with a metallic sleeve to transmit rotation from the motor.

Collaborations

Wu’s listed coworkers include Hong Yu Ding and Jing Ning Ta. The available information identifies Johnson Electric S.A. as his company affiliation but does not specify the coworkers’ roles in these patents.

Conclusion

Zhong Ping Wu’s listed patent work reflects an emphasis on vehicle mechanisms and motor-driven components, with designs intended to control motion and transmit power reliably.
