Abstract: A rotor for an electric motor includes a ring portion and a hub portion. The ring portion contains a permanent magnet material and is configured to at least partially rotate about at least a portion of a stator of the electric motor. The hub portion is configured as a fan including two or more blade elements each being connected to the ring portion. The blade elements encompass two or more axial air passages. An electric motor including the rotor, a pump device and a household appliance each including the electric motor, as well as a method of producing the rotor, are also provided.

Abstract: A printed circuit board antenna contains an electrically conductive antenna structure on an outer layer of a printed circuit board, the antenna structure has a first resonance frequency. The printed circuit board antenna additionally contains an electrically conductive feed line to the antenna structure and an electrically conductive reference region on the outer layer. The reference region completely encloses the antenna structure with the exception of an insulating feed recess for the feed line and an insulating web recess. The web recess is arranged on the antenna structure face facing away from the feed line, and the reference region has a reference region web on the antenna structure face facing away from the feed line. The reference region web forms a resonator which is capacitively coupled to the antenna structure and has a second resonance frequency.

Abstract: A rotor core includes a hollow shaft and a carrier portion permanently combined with the hollow shaft and configured to carry a ring-shaped permanent magnet coaxially to the hollow shaft. The carrier portion includes a support plate extending in radial direction and at least one axial support region configured to support the ring-shaped permanent magnet in axial direction. The carrier portion further includes at least one support element configured to extend into an interior space surrounded by the ring-shaped permanent magnet. A permanent magnet rotor including the rotor core, an electric motor, an electric pump and a household appliance, are also provided.

Abstract: An automatic door device includes a driving motor and a transmission system. An input end of the transmission system is coupled to an output shaft of the driving motor, an output end of the transmission system is coupled to a door shaft, and the transmission system has a transmission link to transmit an output torque of the driving motor to the door shaft. A clutch mechanism is disposed on the transmission link of the transmission system. Accordingly, when the door is subjected to an external force, the transmission link between the door and the driving motor can be automatically disconnected, so that while an automatic door function implemented, it is ensured that a user may not be affected by the resistance brought by the automatic door device when the user opens/closes the door manually, thereby optimizing user experience.

Abstract: A household appliance device includes a first structural unit, a second structural unit, and an insulation unit configured to provide an insulation between the first and second structural units. The insulation unit includes a placement assist element configured to tailor an exterior shape of the insulation unit to the first structural unit for placement of the insulation unit, and an expansion compensation element configured to compensate at least substantially a thermal expansion of at least one subregion of the insulation unit.

Abstract: An induction oven device includes a heating unit including an induction coil having an electrical conductor, a substrate unit having a through-flow opening, and a fastening unit configured to fasten the induction coil to the substrate unit. The fastening unit includes a fastening element which is guided through the through-flow opening.

Abstract: A fluid-conducting domestic appliance has a housing with a receiving container, an opening, and a door unit which has a transparent viewing window and a window element. The window element is formed opposite the viewing window and at least partly protrudes into the receiving container when the door unit is closed such that the receiving container can be viewed when the opening is closed. An electronic unit is provided and has a projection unit that is provided in the region of the viewing window. An optical unit is provided which contains at least one reflection element and is arranged in an upper region of the door unit such that emitted light is reflected by the reflection element onto the projection surface in the region of the viewing window.

Abstract: A household dishwasher includes a dishwasher cavity and a spray facility arranged within the dishwasher cavity for spraying washing liquor and/or fresh water in the dishwasher cavity. The spray facility includes a nozzle for spraying the washing liquor and/or the fresh water and a spiral-shaped flow-conducting element for feeding the washing liquor and/or the fresh water to the nozzle. The spiral-shaped flow-conducting element is configured, during operation of the spray facility, to feed the washing liquor and/or the fresh water to the nozzle in such a way that the washing liquor and/or the fresh water exits the nozzle as a rotating conical spray jet.

Abstract: A sink includes a basin including a base wall and lateral walls adjoining the base wall. The basin includes a receiving area delimited by the base wall and the lateral walls. An insert plate separate from the basin is inserted into the receiving area and moved by a lifting device relative to the basin. A residual media discharge device discharges residual media from a top of the insert plate.
