The winners of the "2020 National Invention and Creation Awards" are announced! A total of 583 qualified patents competed, and the winning rate was only 7.4%, which is the lowest in the history of the awards. We are pleased to announce that among the 43 winners (six gold awards and 20 silver awards in the category Invention; five gold awards and 12 silver awards in the category Creation), there are three of our clients’ patents. Please refer to following table for the detailed awards list.

Invention Gold Medal: Force-limiting shock absorber
(Shi Ruiyuan: Patent Number I611882)
The present invention is a force-limiting shock-absorbing device, which is provided with a body, a percussion member, and an elastic member. One end of the body is provided with a joint, the joint is provided with a set of holes, and the body is provided with a grip at the other end. A holding part, the knocking part is movably combined with the main body to be movable relative to the joint part, and the elastic part is arranged between the knocking part and the joint part with the body so that the elastic part pushes against the knocking part. The striking element allows the striking element to move relative to the coupling part. By arranging the elastic element between the coupling part and the striking part, a shock-absorbing and shock-absorbing effect of delayed rebound can be produced against the reaction force. This arrangement can continuously transmit the applied force to the knocked object, reduce energy loss and noise generation, and provide a force-limiting shock-absorbing device with shock-absorbing effect, high stability and convenient adjustment and use.

Creation Gold Medal: Pot
(Chen Xianzhen: Patent Number D195062)
This pot includes a pot part and a baking pan part; the baking pan part is connected to the front side of the pot part and forms a rectangle; the height of the pot part is higher than the height of the baking pan part; in the pot part, there is a ring flange protruding outward from the opening thereof and the opening of the baking pan respectively, the ring flange of the pot part extends downward to be connected with the ring flange of the baking pan, and the bottom surfaces of the two ring flanges are flush. The bottom surface of the pot is recessed upwards at the junction of the pot part and the baking pan, and the groove extends along the junction of the pot part and the baking pan to the lateral sides of the pot and the external connection.

Invention Silver Medal: Vacuum welding furnace
(3S Silicon Tech., Inc.: Patent Number I651148)
A vacuum welding furnace includes a machine table, a vacuum processing device and at least one transmission mechanism installed on the machine table, and the transmission mechanism can drive the power device lead frame from one of the feeding ends of the machine to a discharge. When the power device lead frame moves to the corresponding vacuum processing device, the vacuum processing device will wrap the power device lead frame in a vacuum chamber to force the power device lead frame to be in a molten state. The gas in the solder paste escapes, reducing the bubbles generated in the solder paste, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the soldering strength, reducing the resistance value of the solder layer, and stabilizing the quality of the soldering process.
