  • Publication number: 20240063669
    Abstract: An axial flux machine, in particular a single-sided axial flux motor, for an electrical machining device, includes a machine shaft, in particular a motor shaft, a disc-shaped stator, and a disc-shaped rotor which is arranged adjacent to the stator in the axial direction of the machine shaft. The stator is formed as a winding carrier for at least one stator winding and the rotor, which is connected to the machine shaft in a rotationally fixed manner, can rotationally moved relative to the stator. The axial flux machine further includes a housing for receiving the stator and the rotor. The housing is cylindrical, open on one side and formed with a substantially closed end face, and the housing fixes the stator in such a way that a defined air gap remains between the rotor and the stator. The axial flux machine can be arranged in an electrical processing device.

  • Patent number: 11894696
    Abstract: In a method and an apparatus for detecting electrically conductive foreign bodies during inductive energy transmission between a primary coil (1) and a secondary coil (2), at least one sensor coil (5) is arranged between the primary coil (1) and the secondary coil (2), and a current flowing in the sensor coil (5) due to the induced voltage during the energy transmission is detected and evaluated. In this case, the sensor coil (5) is connected to at least one capacitor to form a resonant circuit which is matched to the excitation frequency of the primary coil (1). The phase position of the current in the resonant circuit in relation to a reference signal is then used to determine whether there are electrically conductive foreign bodies (4) between the primary coil (1) and the secondary coil (2). A high degree of sensitivity, also in relation to small electrically conductive foreign bodies within the energy transmission path, is achieved by means of the method and the apparatus.

  • Patent number: 11870307
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for increasing the efficiency of an energy transfer device (100) with which electrical energy is converted contactlessly into electrical energy with the aid of a magnetic field in order to electrically excite a rotor of an electrical machine, comprising the step of: arranging an additional electrically conductive material layer (13) on at least one active part (12, 19, 35, 45) of the energy transfer device (100), wherein an active part of the energy transfer device (100) is a part of the energy transfer device (100) which is at least partially exposed to the magnetic field used for energy transfer, and wherein the electrical conductivity of the additional material layer (13) is greater than the electrical conductivity of the at least one active part (12, 19, 35, 45). Moreover, the invention relates to an energy transfer device (100) and to a use of an electrically conductive material.

  • Publication number: 20220029553
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a circuit arrangement having an active rectifier circuit, in particular on a secondary side of an inductive energy transmission path. The circuit arrangement has a half or full bridge of power transistors for rectifying an AC voltage induced in an input inductor of the circuit arrangement. The power transistors are connected to the input inductor in such a way that an auxiliary voltage is split off from the induced AC voltage for switching the power transistors. As a result, even large currents, which result in a low output voltage, can be transmitted without endangering the operation of the rectifier circuit.
