  • Motor for a ventilation device of a heating, ventilation and/or air conditioning system of a motor vehicle with a rotor and stator decoupled from a mounting base
    Patent number: 12228136
    Abstract: Disclosed is a motor (14) for a ventilation device (10) of a heating, ventilation and/or air conditioning system of a motor vehicle, comprising a base (34) for mounting the motor (14) on a support (16); a stator (22); a rotor (20) comprising a shaft (30); at least one bearing (74; 80) around the shaft (30) of the rotor (20); and a decoupling ring (58). The decoupling ring (58) comprises an outer part (60) secured to the mounting base (34), an inner part (62) secured to the stator (22) and forming a recess (72; 76) for receiving the bearing (74; 80) around the shaft (30) of the rotor (20), and elastomer material (64) between the inner part (62) and the outer part (60).
