Publication number: 20220190664Abstract: The thermal management system for in-slot cooling of electric motors includes separating structures, either in the form of a scaffolding structure or a monolithic winding structure which is placed in between the adjacent winding turns to physically separate the winding turns to define coolant fluid passages for circulation of a coolant fluid in direct contact with the lateral surfaces of the winding turns. The scaffolding and monolithic winding structures are made from an electrically insulating material and are filled with a dielectric fluid that serves both the coolant and the electrical insulator between the winding turns. An end-winding organizer may be positioned at two end regions of each stator tooth to provide a curved surface for the winding turns to be held in tension throughout the 180° winding end turns and is formed with grooves to define the passage for the coolant flow to ensure that the flowing coolant reaches the surface of the innermost winding turns.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2021Publication date: June 16, 2022Inventors: RAPHAEL KAHAT MANDEL, F.

Patent number: 10755000Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for assessing the behavior of high temperature bonding systems such as sinter joint models of virtual interconnect microstructures via simulations that analyze sinter joint model properties include defining a plurality of sinter joint objects in a virtual interconnect microstructure, each sinter joint object having a type and a size, and determining a location of individual sinter joint objects with respect to one another in a virtual joint space to create a sinter joint model. The type is at least one of an intermetallic compound, a void, and a metal particle. The location is determined by, for each object, creating three-dimensional coordinates, and based on a determination that the sinter joint object is spaced from and non-overlapping with previously placed sinter joint objects, locking a position and size of the sinter joint object.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2016Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignees: Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc., University of MarylandInventors: Hannes Martin Hinrich Greve, F.
