  • Patent number: 12145166
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a rotary atomizer for applying a spray jet of a coating agent (e.g. paint) to a component (e.g. motor vehicle body component). The disclosure provides that the construction dimensions of the rotary atomizer are coordinated in such a way that the air pressure at the outlet opening of the paint nozzle during operation is lower than the air pressure in the nozzle chamber of the bell cup and in the external rinsing channels in order to prevent a backflow of the coating agent from the outlet opening of the paint nozzle backwards in the direction of the nozzle chamber due to the pressure difference.

  • Patent number: 12134126
    Abstract: A strand guide device serves to deflect a freshly cast strand, typically made of metal, into the horizontal. During the deflection, the cast strand passes through a cooling chamber 1 inside the strand guide device 2, in which it is sprayed with a coolant 33, with the formation of steam 5. The steam forms at least a steam-air mixture 5? with sucked-in secondary air, which is sucked out of the cooling chamber by a suction device 20. In order to reduce the pollutant content of the sucked-in and sucked-off steam-air mixture 5? and its emission into the environment, pollutants, primarily dust, located in the steam-air mixture 5? are depleted by a separator 6, 6?.

  • Publication number: 20240351604
    Abstract: A method for model-based predictive control (MPC) of a motor vehicle includes executing an MPC algorithm having a high level solver module, a longitudinal dynamics model, and a cost function dedicated to the high level solver module. By executing the high level solver module for an upcoming route segment while taking the longitudinal dynamics model into account, a speed trajectory is calculated that minimizes the cost function, according to which the motor vehicle is to travel within a prediction horizon. The method includes sending the speed trajectory to a human-machine interface as an input value, processing the speed trajectory to obtain a control signal in the human-machine interface, and outputting the control signal to a driver of the motor vehicle with the human-machine interface, such that the driver can control the motor vehicle in accordance with the control signal.

The tread plate is connected to a housing cover that is movable via a small stroke along a vertical direction of the pedal unit. The housing cover is connected to a sensor housing in which at least one sensor arrangement is formed. At least one deflection device is included and designed to deflect a small stroke movement of the movable housing cover extending along a vertical direction of the pedal unit caused by the actuating force into a measuring movement extending along a longitudinal direction of the pedal unit. The at least one sensor arrangement is designed to detect the measuring movement based on the small stroke movement in a contactless manner.

  • Patent number: 12109699
    Abstract: A method for controlling a servomotor with a converter includes monitoring a circuit of a direct-voltage DC link that is connected to an input circuit for flow of an electric current; switching off a first switching device to end the supply of the direct-voltage DC link from an electrical grid if a stop signal occurs; braking the servomotor by control of power semiconductor switches of an inverter circuit in a regenerative braking operation, to reduce the rotation speed of the servomotor, if the monitoring detects that an electric current is not flowing after the first switching device has been switched off; and switching off a second switching device to prevent feeding electrical energy from the direct-voltage DC link into the servomotor if the monitoring detects a flow of electric current after the first switching device has been switched off.
