  • Publication number: 20230023583
    Abstract: A cup (28) of a external rotor with symmetry of revolution about the axis comprises: a first cylindrical portion (68) which is radially internal, a second cylindrical portion (32) which is radially external and a third portion (70) between the two cylindrical portions (32, 68). When viewed in cross-section, the third portion (70) extends between two points (P1, P2) which define a straight line which forms, with the axis of the rotor cup (28), an angle (a) of between 65° and 80°. The ratio between the distance (R-P1, R-p2) between the first point (P1, P2) which is radially internal or radially external, respectively, and the axis of symmetry of the rotor cup (28), on the one hand, and the radius (R32) of the second cylindrical portion (32), on the other hand, is between 0.04 and 0.32 or between 0.65 and 1.0, respectively.

  • Patent number: 9660498
    Abstract: The invention relates to a mount 2 in which is housed an electric motor 3 which has a shaft 10 extending along a longitudinal axis 13, said motor having a mass equilibrium line 22 transverse to the longitudinal axis 13 and passing through a center of gravity 40 of the electric motor, said mount 2 being connected to the motor 3 by a plurality of decoupling means 20 distributed around the periphery of the motor, characterized in that the longitudinal position D2 with respect to the mount 2 of at least one decoupling means 20 and a dimension D3 of this decoupling means 20 along the longitudinal axis 13 are determined with respect to the mass equilibrium line 22.

  • Patent number: 8596596
    Abstract: The invention relates to a support device (1) of a motor of a blower. The support device (1) comprises a base (2), a ring (3) which extends according to an axis and which is able to house the motor. The support device (1) also comprises at least a decoupling means (4) which connects the base (2) and the ring (3). The ring (3) comprises a first face (5) extending according to the axis and the base (2) comprises a second face (10) extending according to the axis. The decoupling means (4) is interposed between the first (5) and the second (10) faces. The decoupling means may have an “H” shape in order to absorb the vibrations caused by the motor.

  • Publication number: 20090189052
    Abstract: The invention relates to a support device (1) of a motor of a blower. The support device (1) comprises a base (2), a ring (3) which extends according to an axis (A) and which is able to house the motor. The support device (1) also comprises at least a decoupling means (4) which connects the base (2) and the ring (3). The base (2) comprises a first face (11) extending according to the axis (A) and the ring (3) comprises a second face (12) extending according to the axis (A). The decoupling means (4) is interposed between the first (11) and the second (12) face. The decoupling means has an “H” specific shape in order to absorb the vibrations caused by the motor.

  • Patent number: 6408940
    Abstract: A heating, ventilation and/or air-conditioning device has a heat exchanger consisting of a stack of orientation plates (1, 20) having a first and a second opposite longitudinal ends, certain orientation plates having separation elements intended to divert a flow of cooling liquid circulating in an axial direction of the heat exchanger so as to direct it to a channel region in which it travels from one said end to the other in a longitudinal direction of the orientation plates (1, 20). At least one separation element has at least one stiffening means (26′) integral at least with one region of said separation element (6, 26).
