  • Patent number: 8575807
    Abstract: An electric drive motor that is intended for a vehicle, in particular for a motor vehicle, includes a stator and a rotor with at least one pole pair, wherein each pole of a respective pole pair has a magnet arrangement having at least one buried magnetic layer. The drive motor is characterized in that each pole has a number of magnetic flux influencing groups, each of which has a number of air-filled recesses, which are not assigned to a magnet of a respective magnetic layer for purposes of flux conductance.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 25, 2012
    Date of Patent: November 5, 2013
    Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft

  • Patent number: 6727599
    Abstract: The invention relates to a generator system for a motor vehicle, which comprises an asynchronous generator and a converter. The converter serves for the production of converter output voltages from a direct current source, which form a three-phase system which, inside the machine, produce a rotating field suitable for the generator function for the formation of rotating fields suitable for the generator function. The converter output voltages thereby have a frequency—referred to in the following as a CO frequency—which is changeable in dependence on the range of rotational speed of the generator. The voltage curve of the converter output voltages can be broken down into a primary component with a sinusoidal voltage curve of the CO frequency and into at least one additional secondary component with a sinusoidal voltage curve with an odd-numbered multiple of the CO frequency.
