Patent number: 12627187Abstract: A rotor of an electric asynchronous machine including a shaft, a rotor core and short-circuit rings attached to end faces of the rotor. The shaft has an outer lateral radial surface, a cavity extending axially, at least one passageway located on the lateral surface, and at least one channel connecting the cavity to the passageway. The rotor core has at least one channel extending therein. At least one of the short-circuit rings is composed of at least two ring-shaped disks interconnected to form a disk pack. At least one disk of at least one short-circuit ring has recesses arranged such that a channel structure is formed in the short-circuit ring and is in fluidic connection with at least one channel of the rotor laminated core and fluidically connects the at least one passageway on the shaft lateral surface to at least one channel of the rotor core.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2023Date of Patent: May 12, 2026Assignee: WIELAND-WERKE AGInventors: Gerhard Thumm, Volker Voggeser, Michael Wolf, Jochen Walliser

Patent number: 11621107Abstract: A resistor assembly including at least two connector elements and at least one strip-like or plate-like resistor element arranged between the connector elements. The resistor element has an upper side, a lower side and two longitudinal sides parallel to each other. The at least one resistor element is of a material of which the electrical conductivity is lower than the electrical conductivity of the material of the connector elements. The resistor element has, on at least its upper side or at least its lower side, at least one shaped element as a positioning aid.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2021Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: WIELAND-WERKE AGInventors: Tony Robert Noll, Gerhard Thumm, Volker Voggeser, Kim-Oliver Guther, Felix Schulz, Philipp-Morris Egle, Michael Wolf, Christoph Kästle, Jochen Walliser

Publication number: 20230081784Abstract: A resistor arrangement for measuring current strength having connection elements and a resistor element between the connection elements. The connection elements and the resistor element are arranged in a plane and in a row such that the arrangement is strip-shaped and has its smallest spatial extent perpendicular to the current direction. The resistor element has two contact sides and the connection elements each have a contact face connected to the contact sides. When current flows through the arrangement, current flow lines are formed which are deflected at at least one of the contact sides by an angle of at least 5° at the transition from the connection element to the resistor element.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2022Publication date: March 16, 2023Inventors: Tony Robert NOLL, Gerhard THUMM, Christoph KÄSTLE, Jochen WALLISER, Felix SCHULZ

Patent number: 11349245Abstract: An arrangement of components for transferring electric current from a current-feeding component to a current-discharging component, including a first component, which feeds current to the arrangement or discharges current from the arrangement. The first component includes a first metallic material and, on at least one surface, has at least one spring lamella composed of the first metallic material and machined out of the first metallic material at the surface. The lamella is machined out of the first metallic material at the surface of the first component such that it is connected monolithically to the first component in a connecting region and, starting therefrom extends as far as a free end and, when deflected out of a rest position toward the surface of the first component, exerts a spring force directed away from the surface. A second component is in immediate contact with the lamella of the first component.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2021Date of Patent: May 31, 2022Assignee: WIELAND-WERKE AGInventors: Tony Robert Noll, Gerhard Thumm, Volker Voggeser, Michael Wolf, Christoph Kästle, Jochen Walliser

Patent number: 8968149Abstract: A wind turbine gear mechanism with a planetary gear stage arranged on the drive input side and with first and second spur gear stages arranged, in a gear mechanism housing, downstream of the planetary gear stage. The first spur gear stage rotationally and functionally connects a sun gear shaft of the planetary gear stage to an intermediate shaft, the second spur gear stage rotationally and functionally connects the intermediate shaft to a drive output shaft, and only one intermediate shaft is provided. In this case, the gear mechanism housing has a separation joint along which the gear mechanism housing can be divided into a main housing portion and a housing cover in such manner that a separation joint plane passes through the central axis of the intermediate shaft and the separation joint plane extends a distance away from the central axis of the sun gear shaft.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2012Date of Patent: March 3, 2015Assignees: ZF Friedrichshafen AG, Vestas Wind Systems A/SInventors: Jochen Walliser, Alfred Kienzle, Tino Kirschner, Knud Erik Petersen

Patent number: 8651076Abstract: An adjusting system for camshafts of an internal combustion engine having an emergency running function, comprising a phase shifter gearing with an input drive element driven by a crankshaft of an internal combustion engine, an output drive element which drives a camshaft of the internal combustion engine, and an actuating element, by means of which a relative rotation between the drive input element and the drive output element can be realized by means of a device for imparting a braking torque, which is variable for normal operation, to the actuating element. In the event of failure of the device and/or control thereof, an emergency running setting of the camshaft can be attained and maintained as a result of braking or respectively, arresting the actuating element.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2009Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignee: ZF Friedrichshafen AGInventors: Jochen Walliser, Frank Richter, Ewald Schmitz
