Patent number: 11781639Abstract: An oil management system for a vehicle includes a differential housing, a transmission housing, a lubricant tank, a suction line, a lubricant pump, and an air suction pump. The transmission housing is connected to the differential housing in an air-tight manner, and a lubricant through-passage is defined between the transmission housing and the differential housing. The lubricant tank is provided in the differential housing and has a lubricant suction opening in a lower region. The lubricant pump conveys lubricant from the lubricant tank through the suction line and conducts the lubricant to the lubrication points in the differential housing and the transmission housing. The air suction pump pumps air from the lubricant tank into the transmission housing so that an excess air pressure is maintained in the transmission housing.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2021Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: DEERE & COMPANYInventors: Matthias Lang, David Mueller, Rainer Gugel, Stefan Raisch, Christoph Eisenhardt

Patent number: 11754096Abstract: A pilot device for a hydraulic directional valve includes a displacement sensor, a pilot valve, an actuating device, a coil assembly, and a circuit board. The displacement sensor has a sensor axis and the pilot valve has a valve axis. The valve axis and the sensor axis are arranged substantially parallel to one another so as to lie in a reference plane. The actuating device and the coil assembly are arranged adjacent to one another. The circuit board is arranged parallel to the reference plane. In each case, to establish an electrical contact, the coil assembly, the actuating device, and an electrical plug connection are either soldered directly to the circuit board or are in breakable electrical contact with a respectively associated, rigid contact assembly. The contact assembly is soldered directly to the circuit board.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2020Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Benjamin Nemes, Carl Dissoubray, Christoph Keyl, Gergely Laszlo Hegedus-Fuchs, Jan-Peter Reibert, Matthias Beck, Peter Pozsega, Steffen Knapper, Matthias Lang, Liebhart Zaiser, Thomas Haas
