  • Patent number: 10734859
    Abstract: An electric motor, in particular a radiator fan motor of a motor vehicle, has a rotor which is mounted such that it can rotate in relation to a stator, a motor mount which has an electronics compartment for accommodating a converter electronics system, and an electronics compartment cover. The electronics compartment cover has a peripheral sealing groove into which a peripheral edge of the electronics compartment engages by way of a corresponding sealing web in order to reliably seal off the electronics compartment.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20160197535
    Abstract: An electric machine includes a rotor and a stator having a plurality of windings. The rotor is configured to rotate about a rotational axis and includes a plurality of permanent magnets arranged on a circumference of the rotor. A magnetically non-effective zone is created in a central region of the rotor. A least one opening extends substantially in an axial direction in the magnetically non-effective zone of the rotor to form an air flow path through the rotor. A fan is configured to move with the rotor to generate an air flow along the air flow path through the at least one opening of the rotor.

  • Patent number: 7777379
    Abstract: To prevent damage to an electric machine (1), for example in a motor vehicle, due to axial loading of the rotor bearing in a simple manner, a cushioning element (11, 18, 22, 27) is proposed to absorb axial loading of the bearing system (6, 7), thereby also reducing the axial play (8) of the bearing system (6, 7). When the bearing system (6, 7) is axially loaded, the cushioning element (11, 18, 22, 27) serves to convert kinetic energy into deformation energy.

  • Publication number: 20080193275
    Abstract: An electric machine has a rotor and a stator as well as a method for cooling such a machine. In order to improve cooling of an electric machine, the electric machine (18) has a rotor (2) that is excited by permanent magnets, a stator (38), magnets (3) which are arranged along the circumferential line of the rotor (2) in such a way that a magnetically non-effective zone (10) is created around the center of the rotor (2), at least one opening (11) in the magnetically non-effective zone (10) of the rotor (2) in order to embody an air flow path (41) through the rotor (2), the opening (11) extending substantially in an axial direction, and a fan (15, 56, 58, 59) which moves along with the rotor (2) and is used for embodying an air flow through the opening (11) of the rotor (2).

  • Patent number: 6924570
    Abstract: The invention relates to a stator for an electric motor. Said stator has an annular stator package having a plurality of stator teeth. An annular interconnection unit is located on the end face of said stator package. Said annular interconnection contains diverting elements. The interconnection unit has a support component which is provided with a cavity and has slots. Provided in said cavity are a multiplicity of mutually electrically insulated connector rings each having contacting elements routed externally through said slots.
