  • Publication number: 20230110593
    Abstract: An installation aid chain member for an installation aid chain may be arranged for positioning and fixing an electric conductor. The installation aid chain member may include a base, at least one coupling arrangement, and a conductor holder. The base may define a support surface. The support surface may support or be able to support the installation aid chain member. The at least one coupling arrangement may be arranged on the base for movably coupling the installation aid chain member to a second installation aid chain member. The conductor holder may be arranged away from the support surface on the base, for retaining a conductor portion of the electric conductor.

  • Publication number: 20220344973
    Abstract: A charging device includes a passive auxiliary circuit and a rectifier which is connected downstream of the auxiliary circuit. The passive auxiliary circuit includes input nodes and output nodes. Between the input node and the output nodes, two impedances are connected. Here, an imaginary component of the first impedance has a positive non-zero value and an imaginary component of the second impedance a negative non-zero value or vice versa.

  • Patent number: 11145456
    Abstract: An energy transmitter for a contactless energy transmission may include a coil device and a magnetic conducting body. The coil device may be configured to at least one of i) provide and ii) receive a magnetic field. The coil device may include a coil arranged on a coil-facing first large magnetic body surface of the magnetic conducting body. The coil may include a plurality of coil windings each of which may be circumferentially arranged about an imaginary coil winding centre and define a coil winding circumferential length. A plurality of imaginary circumference section areas may each extend along the coil winding circumferential length of a corresponding coil winding through the magnetic conducting body between the two large magnetic body surfaces. At least two circumference section areas of the plurality of circumference section areas may be substantially identical to one another in terms of area.

  • Publication number: 20210046836
    Abstract: An inductive charging device for a partially or fully electrically operated motor vehicle is disclosed. The inductive charging device includes a temperature control arrangement including at least one fluid tube, and a charging arrangement including a charging coil and a battery. The charging coil is arranged in a heat-transmitting manner on the at least one fluid tube, such that waste heat generated in the charging coil is transferred to the fluid in the at least one fluid tube. In a charging state of the charging arrangement, the charging coil is inductively coupled with an external primary coil, and in the charging coil an induction alternating current flows, via which the battery is charged. The charging arrangement can be switched to a heating state where the charging coil is connected to the battery in a current-conducting manner and a heating direct current flows in the charging coil.
