  • Patent number: 11955846
    Abstract: A rotor (1) of an electrical machine is already known, comprising a rotor body (3) which can be rotated about a rotor axis (2) and comprising several cooling ducts (5) which have a cooling duct opening (8.1, 8.2) at each of its ends, wherein one cooling duct opening (8.1) of one of the cooling ducts (5) is arranged radially further outside than the other cooling duct opening (8.2) of the same cooling duct (5). The driving force for generating an airflow through the cooling ducts (5) is generated by a radial offset between a channel of a hollow shaft of the rotor and one of the cooling duct openings of the rotor. In the rotor (1) according to the invention, the driving force for generating the airflow is generated solely in the cooling duct (5) in question of the rotor (1). According to the invention: the first cover element (10) covers the radially innermost partial cross-section of the cooling duct opening (8.

  • Publication number: 20230179036
    Abstract: The invention relates to a stator of an electric machine, comprising: a laminated stator core (3), which has a stator axis (2), comprises a plurality of stator teeth (5) and a plurality of stator slots (6) formed between the stator teeth (5), and is formed by a plurality of stacked stator laminations (4); and - electrical conductor elements (10), which run through the stator slots (6) of the laminated stator core (3) and are provided in order to form an electrical winding, more particularly a plug-in winding. In each of the stator slots (6), a slot insulator (11), more particularly a slot insulation paper, is provided in order to electrically insulate the conductor elements (10) from the laminated stator core (3). The stator laminations (4) each have a plurality of lamination teeth (7) and a lamination yoke (8), which connects the lamination teeth (7). The stator teeth (5) of the laminated stator core (3) are each formed by stacked lamination teeth (7) of the stator laminations (4).

  • Publication number: 20190111896
    Abstract: A drying apparatus for motor vehicles is provided, which is movable in a treatment direction relative to the surface of a motor vehicle to be dried. The drying apparatus includes a plurality of nozzles suppliable with drying air, a nozzle support device, and a holding device holding the nozzle support device. The nozzle support device includes at least two nozzle supporting parts, each holding at least one nozzle, arranged side by side transversely to the treatment direction. The drying apparatus includes an adjusting device for transferring the nozzle supporting parts relative to one another between at least two relative positions in which the parts are oriented at different angles to one another. The relative positions include an angular position in which air flows exiting the nozzles have or form an apex region on the leading side with respect to the treatment direction. A vehicle wash installation is also provided.
