  • Patent number: 12516669
    Abstract: An electrical automotive liquid pump includes a pump housing, a drive shaft which is co-rotatably connected to a pump wheel, an electrical drive motor having a motor rotor and a motor stator, and a separating tube which fluidically separates the motor rotor and the motor stator to define a wet zone and a dry zone within the pump housing. The motor rotor is co-rotatably connected to the drive shaft. The separating tube has an integral bearing seat structure which includes a bearing seat and a supporting structure. The supporting structure is defined by blades which connect the bearing seat with the separating tube. Each of the blades are arranged at a pitch angle with respect to a rotor axis so that a turbine-type shape is defined for the integral bearing seat structure. The bearing seat is provided with an integral plain bearing shell which directly supports the drive shaft.

  • Publication number: 20250357818
    Abstract: An automotive electronic fluid pump includes an electric pump motor. The electric pump motor includes a motor stator having stator coils, a rotor having a motor rotor, a pump rotor and a rotor shaft, a motor electronics arranged within a dry electronics chamber, a separation tube which fluidically separates a wet motor rotor chamber from a dry motor stator chamber, and a motor housing frame. The motor rotor is driven by the motor stator. The motor electronics has power semiconductors which energize the stator coils. The separation tube has a support section. The motor housing frame has a support collar, a frame bottom wall, and a frame side wall. The support collar directly supports the support section. The frame bottom wall defines a transversal separation wall which fluidically separates the wet motor rotor chamber from the dry electronics chamber.

  • Patent number: 12338833
    Abstract: A radial continuous-flow machine with cooling and lubrication by means of a medium flowing through the machine, wherein the medium flows from a high-pressure side to a low-pressure side of the radial continuous-flow machine, having a housing assembly and a rotor assembly that is rotatably mounted in an interior of the housing assembly, wherein at least one first bearing is provided for mounting the rotor assembly in the housing assembly, wherein the rotor assembly includes a rotor of an electric motor and an impeller, wherein the motor includes, in addition to the rotor, a stator that is a part of the housing assembly, wherein the rotor of the motor is arranged in a first region of the rotor assembly, and the stator is arranged in a first region of the housing assembly, wherein the first region of the housing assembly encloses the first region of the rotor assembly.
