  • Patent number: 11078924
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a frame device for a radiator fan module for a motor vehicle, including a frame opening in which a motor seat for receiving a motor is arranged. The motor seat is connected to a frame edge of the frame opening by means of connecting struts. Each connecting strut comprises an inner end connected to the motor seat and an outer end connected to the frame edge of the frame opening. The setting angle of the profile of the respective connecting struts is adapted to the outflow direction of the air flowing out through the frame opening, over the length of the connecting strut from the inner end to the outer end of the connecting strut, such that the flow resistance of the respective connecting struts is as low as possible.

  • Patent number: 6472783
    Abstract: The invention relates to a brushless, electronically commuted motor, more particularly one used as drive motor for a ventilator drive mechanism in an automobile, comprising a permanent magnetic outer rotor (5), in which a stator (7) with three winding wires staggered at 120° el is mounted, in addition to several winding coils for each winding wire. The pitch of the coil of the winding coils (15-37) is s smaller than the pitch of the pole and 0.5 coils are wound per pole and wire (9, 11, 13). A flat, compact, light-weight, silent and efficient EC motor (1) is obtained due to the fact that each winding wire consists of several parallel-connected windings, the outer rotor (5) has at least p=3 pole pairs and a control plate with conductor rails is provided to connect the individual winding coils.

  • Patent number: 6300697
    Abstract: The invention relates to a circuit configuration for connecting the stator windings of a brushless, electronically commutated motor, especially as a drive motor for an automobile fan drive. The configuration comprises a circuit board (63) with conducting paths, each of which is connected to the wire leads of the winding coils of each phase winding and one of which is connected to the ends of winding coils of all of the phase windings. This electronically commutated motor simplifies the interconnection of the stator windings in that the circuit board (63) includes an annular disk-shaped support plate (65) which, together with the stator assembly, is attached by a hub (67) to a bearing support pipe on the motor flange. The conducting paths are made of stamped conductor rails (73, 75, 77, 79) which are fixed on the support plate (65), concentrically to the hub (67).
