  • Publication number: 20250229674
    Abstract: An oscillating framework for a vehicle seat, such as an oscillating seat and/or a utility vehicle seat, may have at least one lower frame and a link which is capable of oscillating, may be movable relative to the lower frame and may be coupled at least at a lower link end via a transverse rod to the lower frame. At at least one position detection device for detecting an assumed relative position of the transverse rod may be arranged in the lower frame. The transverse rod may be conjointly movable about an axis of rotation during movement of the link.

  • Patent number: 12142974
    Abstract: The DC electric motor has a stator which comprises a permanent magnet with a number p of pole pairs, and has a rotor which can rotate in relation to the stator and has a hollow-cylindrical iron-free winding with a geometric axis and a number Q of sub-coils, and a collector with a number K of collector segments, wherein the sub-coils are arranged distributed over the periphery of the rotor. The brush-commutated DC electric motor furthermore has at least one pair of brushes which are in contact with the collector and by means of which the sub-coils are energized. The arrangement of the brushes and the interconnection of the sub-coils are selected in such a way that in each case a number n?2 of sub-coils, which are each arranged offset by 360°/n in a rotationally symmetrical manner with respect to the axis of the rotor, are always supplied with the same current at the same time.

  • Patent number: 10826359
    Abstract: A two-pole brush-commutated DC electric motor with a stator and a rotor with a hollow-cylindrical ironless winding having n coil segments and a commutator having n commutator segments. Each coil segment being electrically connected to two adjacent commutator segments. An axis of gravity intersects the rotor axis perpendicularly and passes through the center of gravity of a coil segment or a center line of the coil segment that passes through the center of gravity and the rotor axis spanning a coil plane that defines the angular position of the associated coil segment. Two brush contact surfaces of the commutator segments are electrically connected to this coil segment have a distance bisector intersecting the rotor axis perpendicularly. The distance bisector and the rotor axis span a commutator plane which defines the angular position of the associated commutator segments.

  • Publication number: 20190068016
    Abstract: A multipole rotor is disclosed for an electric motor, the rotor having a rotor core and a plurality of individual permanent magnets, which are distributed over a circumference of the rotor and which, when seen in a cross-sectional view of the rotor orthogonal to an axis of the rotor, have a convex curvature on the side facing the air gap between a stator of the electric motor and the rotor. Four respective permanent magnets, which are juxtaposed in the circumferential direction of the rotor, define together a magnetic pole pair, the magnetization direction of each individual permanent magnet enclosing an angle between 30° and 60° with a reference plane extending through the axis of the rotor and through the center of the respective permanent magnet.

  • Patent number: 9718378
    Abstract: A method is provided for controlling a longitudinally adjustable and rotatable vehicle seat with upper rails guided in lower rails, motors for respectively driving the upper rails and a seat shell. An aligned displacement of the upper rails relative to the lower rails displaces the seat shell in a straight line. A displacement of the first upper rail relative to the second upper rail rotates the seat shell about a vertical axis. An initial position is stored. The seat shell is moved in a straight line out of the initial position into a starting position. From the starting position the seat shell is rotated by a first angle into an intermediate position. The seat shell is moved in a straight line in the direction of travel into a first central position. The seat shell is rotated by a second angle into an end position.

  • Patent number: 9509187
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to a hollow-cylindrical coreless winding for an electric motor. The winding includes a plurality of single coils which are distributed across the circumference of the winding, wherein each single coil includes a plurality of turns which are spirally wound around a winding axis which is perpendicular to an axis of the winding. Successive single coils overlap in a roof tile manner. The winding includes at least two phase windings, each of the phase windings consisting of several ones of the single coils. The phase windings are offset with respect to each other in the circumferential direction of the hollow-cylindrical winding, so that the single coils of a first phase winding are disposed in the circumferential direction of the hollow-cylindrical winding between the single coils of a second phase winding. Each of the phase windings is wound from a continuous wire.
