Company patents
Shanghai Kohler Electronics, Ltd.
Shanghai Kohler Electronics, Ltd. exhibits a highly dynamic and somewhat unpredictable patent strategy, with significant year-over-year fluctuations across its portfolio. While 'Flow / Volume Measurement' represents its largest category at 12.0% of its portfolio, its patenting in this area has declined by 50.0% YoY in both 2025 and so far in 2026, suggesting a shifting priority, contrasting with a surprising 200.0% YoY surge in 'Material & Chemical Analysis' in 2024 before a complete halt in 2025 and 2026.

Specialized valve designs for domestic and commercial applications involving water distribution, temperature control, and air conditioning, often focusing on integration, materials, and specific flow characteristics.
Systems specifically engineered to use sprayed liquids or aerosols for cleaning surfaces, removing residues, or distributing disinfectants in various environments.
Innovations in the construction, integration, and operational verification of flow measurement devices, including methods for calibration, fault detection, and structural integrity monitoring.
Technologies for measuring the flow rate, level, or composition of mixtures containing multiple fluid phases (e.g., liquid-liquid, liquid-gas, liquid-solid suspensions), often employing specialized sensing principles to differentiate components.
Tubes, hoses, or ducts incorporating additional components or features beyond simple fluid conveyance, such as embedded electronics (sensors, heaters), structural reinforcement, or segregated compartments for cable routing.
Mechanisms allowing rapid, secure, and often sealed attachment and detachment of pipes, tubes, or hoses, frequently featuring locking, sealing, and release components for efficient assembly and maintenance.
Mechanisms and control systems for precisely moving valve elements, often involving electric motors, cams, solenoids, or pneumatic/hydraulic pilots, to achieve desired flow or position.
Systems and devices that utilize controlled magnetic fields, often generated by electromagnets, to produce mechanical motion, precise positioning, or manipulate physical phenomena like plasma distribution.
Valves specifically designed for managing fluid power in hydraulic or pneumatic systems, including components for pressure regulation, flow direction, and system centering.
Systems and methods for accurately controlling the volume, location, and characteristics of sprayed fluids, often involving sensors, feedback, or specific nozzle geometries for precise application.
Innovations in nozzle internal geometry, actuation, or multi-fluid mixing to achieve specific spray patterns, droplet sizes, or performance characteristics, especially for challenging fluids or conditions.
