Patent number: 11378082Abstract: An electric fluid pump may include a pump housing and an electric motor. A rotor may have a rotor shaft and may be mounted in a rotatable manner in a stator body, which may have a stator embedded at least regionally therein. The pump housing may be subdivided into a dry and a wet region containing the rotor. The rotor shaft may be mounted on a bottom side and may be connected to a pump impeller on a pump-impeller side, facing away from the bottom side. The pump housing may have, on the pump-impeller side, an aperture out of which the rotor shaft may project. The pump housing may have an internal first bearing collar arranged around the aperture, the dry region located radially around the first bearing collar, and an outside diameter of the first bearing collar being less than a maximum diameter of the rotor.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2018Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Inventors: Johannes Diekmann, Andrej Rul, Benjamin Weimann

Patent number: 11363730Abstract: A housing for accommodating electrical components, in particular in a liquid pump, includes a housing pot including a bottom and a surrounding wall protruding from the bottom, as well as a housing cover closing the housing pot, including a shoulder protruding in the direction of the bottom. A simplified and cost-efficient production of the housing as well as an increased operational safety of the liquid pump are attained in that the housing cover forms a caulking connection with the surrounding wall of the housing pot with the help of at least one recess formed in the shoulder. The disclosure furthermore relates to a liquid pump including a housing of this type as well as a method for producing a liquid pump of this type.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2020Date of Patent: June 14, 2022Assignee: MAHLE International GmbHInventors: Johannes Diekmann, Robin Drefs, Sven B.

Patent number: 11156222Abstract: An electric fluid pump may include a pump housing and an electric motor arranged in the pump housing. A rotor of the electric motor may have a rotor shaft and may be mounted in a stator of the electric motor so as to be rotatable about an axis of rotation. The pump housing may be divided into a dry region and a wet region in which the rotor may be disposed. The dry region and the wet region may be separated by a stator support piece which may at least regionally enclose the stator.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2018Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Inventors: Johannes Diekmann, Andrej Rul, Benjamin Weimann

Publication number: 20200355195Abstract: A fluid pump includes an internal rotor rotatable about an axis of rotation and having a non-rotatable external stator and an impeller having multiple blades axially arranged between a support disc and a cover disc. The rotor has a rotor housing having a base, a mounting sleeve and a cover, in which an armature unit of the rotor is received so as to be fluid-tight towards the outside. The support disc of the impeller forms the cover of the rotor housing and axially seals the mounting sleeve. The impeller includes a first part and a second part which are fixed to one another in a material bonded manner. Here, the blades are exclusively formed integrally on the first part or on the second part, axially project from this part on one side and are axially covered by the respective other part.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2020Publication date: November 12, 2020Inventors: Johannes Diekmann, Eugen Makarow, Andrej Rul, Benjamin Weimann

Patent number: 10815863Abstract: A liquid pump for conveying a liquid may include a housing, in which a pump impeller is arranged for conveying the liquid, and a cover for covering the housing. The cover may include a main connector for supplying a main flow of the liquid to the pump impeller and an auxiliary connector for supplying an auxiliary flow of the liquid to the pump impeller. The housing may have an inlet opening for the liquid and an annular collar protruding from an edge of the inlet opening. The cover may lie axially against the annular collar. The annular collar and the cover may define an annular wall surrounding a flow path of the main flow of the liquid. The annular wall may have at least one radial opening connecting the flow path with an inflow space surrounding the annular wall. The auxiliary connector may be fluidically connected with the inflow space.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2017Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: MAHLE INTERNATIONAL GMBHInventors: Johannes Diekmann, Thorsten Grelle, Michael Krappel, Gunnar Schmitt-Sauter, Benjamin Weimann
