  • Patent number: 11031847
    Abstract: An electric drive includes a rotor and a stator in toothed-coil technology, wherein the stator has a number of individual tooth modules. A respective individual tooth module has a stator winding which is wound around an associated tooth, a control device which is designed to generate an activation signal for the stator winding, and a shielding device which surrounds the stator winding and the control device.

  • Patent number: 10958125
    Abstract: A circuit board to be mounted in a non-drive end shield of an electric motor has a converter formed on the circuit board. The circuit board is divided into a central region and a number of toothed regions surrounding the central region, wherein planes of the toothed regions are bent with respect to a plane of the central region in a mounting position.

  • Patent number: 10811929
    Abstract: A motor system includes: a stator; a rotor; a motor shaft, which is mechanically coupled for conjoint rotation with the rotor, and which defines a radial direction and an axial direction of the motor system; heat-generating components, in particular power semiconductors; a control device which is designed to control an operation of the motor system; and a housing. The housing has a first central chamber, wherein the stator, the rotor and the heat-generating components are arranged inside the first chamber, and wherein the heat-generating components are connected to an outer wall of the first chamber, and has a number of second chambers, wherein the second chambers radially surround the first chamber, and wherein the second chambers form closed channels for guiding cooling air.

  • Patent number: 10778069
    Abstract: A motor system includes a stator, a rotor, a number of power modules which each have planar contact faces for dissipating heat, a control device which is designed to actuate the power modules, a housing, wherein the stator and the rotor are arranged inside the housing, and at least one heat sink. The heat sink has a number of planar contact faces which are connected in a thermally conductive fashion to respectively corresponding contact faces of the power modules. The heat sink has regions for dissipating heat, wherein a coolant flows around the regions in order to dissipate heat.
