VIBRATION ISOLATION FOR ROTATING MACHINES

A rotating machine system include a rotating machine. The rotating machine system can include a housing. The housing can include an inner surface. The housing can surround at least a portion of the rotating machine. The inner surface of the housing can be spaced from the rotating machine such that a space is defined therebetween. The rotating machine system can include a plurality of vibration isolators. The vibration isolators can be positioned in the space and can be operatively connected to the rotating machine and to the inner surface of the housing. The vibration isolators can be compression-type vibration isolators.

Hinge device

A hinge device for supporting a display device is provided. The hinge device comprises a supporting seat, a shaft, a bearing plate, and an elastic module. The shaft rotatably passes through the supporting seat. The bearing plate is disposed on the shaft, and the display device is disposed on the bearing plate. The elastic module includes a cam and at least one elastic plate. The cam is configured on the shaft, and the cam and the shaft rotate synchronously. A fixed end of the elastic plate is fixed to the supporting seat. The elastic plate has a deformation amount to provide a balance torque to the cam when a free end of the elastic plate abuts against the cam. When an external force is applied on the display device, the bearing plate is actuated to drive the shaft and the cam to rotate to change the deformation amount and the balance torque of the elastic plate. When the external force is removed, the display device can be stopped at once.

Spring assemblies, applications of spring assemblies, and related methods

A spring assembly with two or more springs, one inside another. The spring assembly can have two springs wherein one spring is located inside another spring, and the outer spring can be a helical ribbon spring and the inner spring can be a canted coil spring to provide support to the outer helical ribbon spring. Support is provided where the helical ribbon spring may have some limitations that the inner spring is able to overcome. Limitations of the helical ribbon spring may be a limited force versus deflection curve which the additional spring support of the secondary spring may overcome.
