Patent number: 10344847Abstract: A cooling arrangement (1) is provided for cooling a gearbox (2) that has a housing (20) on which at least one temperature-critical component is mounted. The cooling arrangement has a gearbox-ventilating device (4) arranged fixedly on the body to adjoin the gearbox (2) and configured to supply the gearbox (2) with cooling air. The gearbox-ventilating device (4) has a first air duct (6) with an air inlet opening (60), via which cooling air can flow into the first air duct (6), and an air outlet opening (62) from which cooling air can flow out of the first air duct (6). A cooling air-channeling means (7) is connected to the first air duct (6) and designed to guide the cooling air flowing out of the air outlet opening (62) and directly onto the temperature-critical component of the gearbox (2).Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2018Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: Dr. Ing. h.c.
