  • Patent number: 11179825
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a floor grinding apparatus (100) with a housing (110) having an interior space (111) open to one side, a carrier plate (120) rotatably mounted in the interior space (111) for receiving abrasives, and drive unit (130) adapted to rotate the carrier plate (120), the housing (110) having an inner dust sealing ring (112) with at least one recess (115), wherein the inner dust sealing ring (112) divides the interior space (111) into an inner portion (113) and an outer portion (114), and wherein the carrier plate (120) is disposed in the inner portion (114), at least one extraction opening (116) disposed in the outer portion (114), and an outer dust sealing ring (117) enclosing the interior space (111), the inner dust sealing ring (112) and the outer dust sealing ring (117) being arranged to define a common working plane parallel to the plane of rotation of the carrier plate (120).

  • Patent number: 9455609
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electric motor, in particular an electronically commutated electric motor. The electric motor has a stator, a rotor and a housing, which accommodates at least the stator and the rotor in a cavity. The electric motor also has a power output stage, which is connected to the stator and is designed to energize the stator in order to induce a rotating magnetic field. The power output stage has at least one power semiconductor with a thermal contact area, wherein the thermal contact area is thermally conductively connected to the housing, with the result that heat generated in the power semiconductor can be dissipated to the housing. According to the invention, the housing has a housing cup, which at least partially surrounds the cavity and is preferably thermally conductive and which has a cup wall, wherein the cup wall has a mating contact area corresponding to the thermal contact area.

  • Patent number: 7564338
    Abstract: A micromechanical device having a micromechanical component and a heating element and a method for controlling and/or regulating the heating element. In this context, the heating element is used to bring the micromechanical component, which preferably has electrical components, and/or a passivator surrounding the micromechanical component to a specifiable temperature.

  • Publication number: 20070279845
    Abstract: The present invention describes a device having a housing and at least one electrical component, the housing having at least one of the electrical components and being filled at least partially by a passivating agent. Furthermore, it is provided that the electrical component is covered at least partially by the passivating agent. Now, the crux of the present invention is that an additional material layer is applied on top of the passivating agent. Using this additional material layer, a device is able to be implemented in a simple and cost-effective construction, that is resistive to environmental damages. This makes possible using electrical components in corrosive environments.
