    Patent number: 9440523
    Abstract: An underfloor unit for reinforcing a motor vehicle body has a base body (12) connected to the motor vehicle body and intended to dissipate static and/or dynamic loads of the motor vehicle body. The base body (12) has an upwardly directed support plate (14) for supporting battery cell units of a traction battery for and a downwardly directed separate armor plate (16) for protecting the battery cell units against sudden effects of force from below. A cooling duct (18) for cooling the battery cell units is formed between the support plate (14) and the armor plate (16). The underfloor unit (10) can support the battery cells of the traction battery as a support plate (14), protect them as armor and cool them with the aid of the cooling duct (18) as a heat exchanger.

  • Actuating device for an automated dual clutch transmission of a motor vehicle, and method for controlling an actuating device of said type
    Patent number: 9435429
    Abstract: An actuating device for an automated dual clutch transmission of a motor vehicle drivetrain in manual-shift mode includes first and second shift elements disposed in a region of a steering column, the first shift element being configured to effect an upshift and the second shift element being configured to effect a downshift of the dual clutch transmission. Simultaneous operation of the shift elements is configured to effect idle operation of an engine with at least one open transmission clutch. The idle operation is present only while the first and second shift elements are actuated. The shift elements are configured to transmit a torque via a closed transmission clutch when at least one of the shift elements is released. A control device is configured to initiate rotational speed adaptation of the engine as a function of an actuation of the first and second shift elements.

  • Drive arrangement
    Patent number: 9428956
    Abstract: A drive arrangement (1) for actuating a roller sun blind (21) of a motor vehicle has an actuation rod (2) with external thread (3) and a hollow cylinder (4) with internal thread (5). The actuation rod (2) is arranged coaxially in the hollow cylinder (4). The external thread (3) of the actuation rod (2) meshes with the internal thread (5) of the hollow cylinder (4). Thus, relative rotation of actuation rod (2) and hollow cylinder (4) displaces the actuation rod (2) axially relative to the hollow cylinder (4). The actuation rod (2) is guided in non-rotatable fashion, and the hollow cylinder (4) can be rotated by a drive (6).

  • Method for diagnosing a frequency converter
    Patent number: 9431936
    Abstract: A method for diagnosing a frequency converter is used for a frequency converter having a positive and negative DC link voltage which is applied via bridges of switching elements in an alternating sequence to phases of a motor. Pulse width modulation (PWM) signals drive the switching elements for a respective one of the phases and current sensors capture phase currents. In a step a), PWM signals are applied as test patterns to the switching elements. In a step b), sensor signals of the current current sensors are picked up. In a step c), the sensor signals are evaluated by ascertaining a presence of the DC link voltage upon a displacement current being recognized in the sensor signals.
