  • Patent number: 11539256
    Abstract: Various embodiments include stator for an electrical machine comprising: a stator winding; and a yoke with a plurality of slots. There are a plurality of conductor segments connected to one another, wherein each conductor segment has one respective axially internal inner section and two respective axially external outer sections. The respective inner section of each conductor segment is embedded into a respective slot. Ducts for coolant flow in the axial direction are formed at least in a portion of each of the slots. The stator defines, at least in a first axial end region, a first coolant chamber fluidically encapsulated from a surrounding area. The first coolant chamber surrounds at least a portion of the respective outer sections of each of the conductor segments situated in the first axial end region. The first coolant chamber is fluidically connected to the ducts to conduct coolant into and/or out of the ducts.

  • Patent number: 11502568
    Abstract: A stator for an electric alternating current machine includes a stator winding arranged about a central axis and including conductor windings. The conductor windings are grouped to form electrical phases. The stator winding has winding layers. The conductor windings of a phase each have axially oriented conductor limbs that are connected to one another in two axial end regions in pairs by two winding heads. Individual coils are thus formed for each phase. As viewed in a circumferential direction, the axial conductor limbs of the individual phases follow one another in alternation in a uniform order. The winding heads of a given individual coil extend within a winding layer. A sequence of the axial conductor limbs of the respective phases and the distribution of the individual coils on the individual winding layers are chosen to avoid crossovers within the individual winding layers in the region of the winding heads.

  • Patent number: 7380529
    Abstract: A method for adjustment of the relative angle of rotation between a camshaft and a crankshaft in an internal combustion engine through an electromechanical phase adjuster is provided. The invention provides a rapid and precise adjustment behavior. To that end, a deviation of the adjustment speed (??) between a desired adjustment speed (?SOLL) and an actual adjustment speed (?IST) is calculated from at least one measurement parameter in a second control loop cascaded below the first control loop. An output parameter is calculated dependent on the deviation of the adjustment speed (??) through an adjustment speed adjuster (26) cascaded below the angle of rotation adjuster (23), with the output parameter being used to adjust the angle of rotation (?) using an electromechanical actuator (14). The relative angle of rotation can be rapidly and precisely adjusted by adjusting the adjustment speed. A phase adjuster for controlling the relative angle of rotation is also provided.

  • Patent number: 7146947
    Abstract: An arrangement for adjusting the angle of rotation of a camshaft (5) relative to a crankshaft is provided. The arrangement requires many components, which partially also require different operational conditions. The new arrangement is structured in a modular fashion, so that the components of the arrangement are no longer arranged inside a common housing, but rather are separately constructed according to their function and/or operational conditions, for example, they are used jointly by other control or adjustment devices. It is particularly advantageous that such arrangements can be produced in a reduced size and in a more cost effective manner and can be used for adjusting the valve play of internal combustion engines.

  • Patent number: 7137370
    Abstract: A gear arrangement has two turntables nested or arranged concentrically in one another, and interconnected with one another via a swashplate. The gear arrangement preferably is used for adjusting the angle of rotation of the camshaft relative to the angle of rotation of the crankshaft of an internal combustion engine to affect the control times of the charge-cycle valves of the engine. The swashplate is connected with the first turntable formed as a camshaft gear via at least one pin, and the swashplate is connected with the camshaft via the second turntable by means of a gear ring.

  • Patent number: 7036474
    Abstract: A control device and method for adjusting the angular velocity ratio (?N(t)/?K(t)) between a camshaft and a crankshaft is provided. Various control devices and methods for rotating the camshaft relative to the crankshaft provide a drive which may advance and retard the camshaft in comparison to the crankshaft. Previous systems have the disadvantage that either two drives in different directions are necessary for each actuation direction or the drive must have right-handed rotation and left-handed rotation. In the control device and the method according to the invention, the advancing of the camshaft is achieved by a drive in the running direction of the camshaft and the retarding is achieved by a braking device. It has been shown to be especially advantageous if an electric motor in two quadrant mode is used as the drive, which may then also be used as the braking device. Such a control device and method are required for setting the control times in internal combustion engines.

  • Publication number: 20050235939
    Abstract: A device for adjusting the timing of valves is provided with a driven camshaft (1) comprising two groups of radial cams with at least one radial cam (4, 6) each for controlling valves. The circumferential positions of the radial cams (4) on the camshaft of the first group is adjustable in reference to the circumferential positions of the radial cams (6) on the camshaft of the second group. For this purpose, the device is provided with a wobble plate mechanism (14) having two rotary bodies (2, 10) with a common rotational axis, connected to one another in a form-fitting manner by way of a wobble-plate (13). The first rotary body is connected to the first group of radial cams (4) and the second rotary body is connected to the second group of radial cams (6). Additionally, an internal combustion engine is provided, comprising two camshafts, each with a wobble plate mechanism and two groups of radial cams for adjusting the timing of valves. This results in a very flexible adjustment of the timing of valves.
