  • Patent number: 9605585
    Abstract: A motor vehicle internal combustion engine has at least one combustion chamber delimited by at least one wall of the internal combustion engine, and at least one injector that is associated with the combustion chamber and that is at least partially accommodated in a receiving opening delimited by a first wall area of the wall extending at least essentially parallel to the axial direction of the injector The injector includes at least one injection opening that opens into the combustion chamber via the receiving opening, in the direction of the combustion chamber the first wall area being directly adjoined by a further wall area of the wall that extends at an angle to the axial direction and which delimits an at least essentially conical area of the receiving opening which expands toward the combustion chamber.

  • Patent number: 9175737
    Abstract: A drum brake module for motor vehicles operable by electric motor and performs at least one parking brake function, having an electromechanical actuator mounted on one side of the armature plate and a rotational-translational movement converter converting a rotational drive rotational movement into a translational activation movement of brake shoes arranged on a side of the armature plate facing away from the actuator in a brake drum, and including at least one supporting device between the brake shoes such that the latter can carry out an activation movement in the direction of the brake drum. A drive nut is supported by the rotational-translational movement converter in an axially secure and rotatable fashion on the armature plate to assist the braking force. The drive nut drives a spindle arrangement mounted in a rotationally fixed and axially displaceable fashion and engages with an activation cable on at least one brake shoe.

  • Patent number: 7055468
    Abstract: In a drive arrangement for a motor vehicle, comprising an internal combustion engine and a power electronic unit for controlling an electric machine, the power electronic unit is arranged on a carrier and the carrier comprises a cooler which includes coolant passages and is mounted on the engine such that the coolant passages are in direct communication with coolant passages of a cooling circuit of the internal combustion engine.
