Patent number: 11784543Abstract: An electric machine has a stator, a rotor, and a slip ring module which is connected to a motor shaft of the electric machine. The slip ring module is equipped with at least one wire guiding channel, through which a respective contact wire is guided in order to electrically connect a rotor winding to a slip ring. A first section of the wire guiding channel runs from the slip ring in the axial direction parallel to the motor shaft. A second section of the wire guiding channel runs adjacently thereto radially outwards. An elastic seal element which surrounds the respective contact wire is arranged in or on the second section in order to seal the wire guiding channel to prevent a lubricant from entering the channel.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2020Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Florian Beck, Philip Moerth, Philipp Petz

Patent number: 9269500Abstract: A power supply device for a hybrid or electric motor vehicle, in particular a passenger vehicle or a motorcycle, includes a plurality of electrochemical storage cells and/or double-layer capacitors. The electrochemical storage cells and/or double-layer capacitors have a casing surface and, in an axial direction, a base surface and a cover surface which are connected by the casing surface, and each include electrodes. Adjacent to the casing surface of at least one of the storage cells and/or double-layer capacitors, a heat-conducting cooling apparatus is disposed which, although electrically insulated from the at least one storage cell and/or double-layer capacitor, is in thermal contact with a first circumferential section of the casing surface and dissipates the heat energy introduced by the casing surfaces of the at least one storage cell and/or the double-layer capacitor.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2009Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: Bayeriche Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Alexander Meijering, Micha Dirmeier, Philipp Petz, Nicolas Flahaut, Frank Eckstein, Bjoern Lath, Hubertus Goesmann

Patent number: 9052148Abstract: A power supply device for a motor vehicle, in particular a passenger vehicle, truck or motorcycle, comprises one or more storage cell modules, each of which includes one or more electrochemical storage cells and/or double layer capacitors that are arranged next to and/or on top of one another. The device includes a cooler block having a holder for the storage cell modules and a heat dissipating structure for dissipating heat emitted by the storage cell modules. The heat dissipating structure is provided on at least one side of the holder. The cooler block includes a clamping device operatively configured to generate a predefined force by which the heat dissipating structure can be pressed against a respective storage cell module.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2011Date of Patent: June 9, 2015Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Frank Eckstein, Bjoern Lath, Hubertus Goesmann, Micha Dirmeier, Philipp Petz, Alexander Meijering
