  • Publication number: 20250012262
    Abstract: An integrated electro-hydraulic unit including an electric machine, a hydraulic machine, and a shared casing. The electric machine includes a winding and a stator. The hydraulic machine includes a shaft, a cylinder block, a plurality of pistons, and a valve plate. The shared casing includes a cooling channel located between the electric machine and the hydraulic machine. By action of the pistons, a first port on the valve plate receives working fluid pulled into the cylinder block and a second port on the valve plate receives working fluid pushed out. By action of the pistons, a third port on the valve plate is configured to receive a cooling flow of the working fluid. The cooling flow through the third port is separate from the first port and the second port, such that volumetric efficiency measured between the first port and the second port is not affected by the cooling flow.

  • Patent number: 12031559
    Abstract: An integrated electro-hydraulic unit including a hydraulic machine having a shaft configured to rotate about an axis and a cylinder block. The cylinder block includes a distal portion spaced from the axis. The distal portion includes an axial span measured parallel to the axis. An electric machine has a stator and a rotor with an axial span measured parallel to the axis. The axial span of the rotor is larger than the axial span of the distal portion. A drive flange is situated between the distal portion and the rotor to define an interface. The rotor is secured to a rotor-receiving portion of the drive flange, and the distal portion is secured to a cylinder block-receiving portion of the drive flange. The axial span of the distal portion extends outside the axial span of the rotor.

  • Patent number: 11204121
    Abstract: A hydraulic system has a fluid path which connects two system components fluidically to one another and which comprises a hydraulic hose. It is known to form a fluid path between two components of a hydraulic system, for example between a pump and a control block, by a single hydraulic hose which is designed in accordance with the maximum volume flow and the maximum pressure. A hydraulic hose for large volume flows and high pressures is disproportionately expensive relative to a hydraulic hose for smaller volume flows and, on account of its larger internal and external diameters, has a larger minimum bending radius than a hydraulic hose for smaller volume flows. In order to provide a cost-effective and compact structure, a hydraulic system according to the disclosure has the fluid path formed by at least two hydraulic hoses arranged fluidically parallel to one another.
