  • Patent number: 12297898
    Abstract: A ventilation module for a transmission of a motor vehicle, in particular an electrically driven motor vehicle, comprises a housing with a connection opening on the transmission side and an atmosphere opening open to the environment, wherein a gas channel connecting the connection opening to the atmosphere opening in a gas-conducting manner is provided in the housing. A float valve with a float arranged in a float chamber, a valve body and a valve opening is arranged in the gas channel, wherein liquid entering the float chamber through the atmosphere opening causes the float to rise, wherein when a certain liquid level in the float chamber is exceeded the float, the valve body connected to the float, closes the valve opening and thereby the gas channel in a liquid-tight manner.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11692468
    Abstract: The invention relates to an oil separating device (10) for crankcase ventilation of an internal combustion engine, comprising a carrier (11) comprising a gas inlet line (12) for flowing blow-by gas (13) having an inlet end and an outlet end, and a gap-defining element (15), wherein at least one annular gap (5, 6) is formed or can be formed between the gap-defining element (15) and the outlet end of the gas inlet line (12). A baffle wall (7, 8) is arranged downstream of the annular gap (5, 6). The oil separating device (10) comprises a circumferential wall (18), which surrounds the outer circumference of the gap-defining element (15) and is fixed relative to the carrier (11).
