  • Publication number: 20230360836
    Abstract: A transformer has a magnetic core, a coil which runs around a core section of the magnetic core, and a filling layer which is arranged between the core section and the coil. The filling layer, which may fill a gap formed between the core and the coil completely, is produced from a magnetizable material.

  • Publication number: 20230278153
    Abstract: Power tools including electronic safety mechanisms with supervisory circuits. The power tools include a motor configured to generate a motive force, an implement holder, and an electronic safety mechanism. The implement holder is configured to receive the motive force from the motor. Receipt of the motive force generates driven motion of the implement holder. The electronic safety mechanism defines a disengaged configuration and an engaged configuration. The electronic safety mechanism includes a detection circuit configured to detect an actuation parameter and to generate a primary trigger signal based, at least in part, on the actuation parameter. The detection circuit also includes a detection circuit controller, which is programmed to control the operation of the detection circuit, and a supervisory circuit, which is configured to verify proper operation of the detection circuit controller.

  • Patent number: 10284032
    Abstract: A rotor for a reluctance motor includes a laminate stack having layers. Each layer has a plurality of flux-conducting sections formed in each case by a magnetically conductive rotor lamination and extending transversely to a corresponding q axis. The flux-conducting sections are separated from one another by nonmagnetic flux barrier regions. An electrically conductive and non-ferromagnetic filler material is arranged in a plurality or all of the flux barrier regions of the layers to electrically connect the flux barrier regions of adjacent layers to one another so that cage bars of a rotor cage of the rotor which extend axially parallel or skewed with respect to the axis of rotation are formed by the filler material in the flux barrier regions.

  • Patent number: 10236730
    Abstract: An active part for an electric machine can be configured as a stator or a rotor and includes at least two slots for arranging an electric coil winding of an electric coil. Arranged between the two slots is a crosspiece which is made of a material for conducting a magnetic flux through the electric coil which surrounds the crosspiece. The material has, at least in one area, magnetic anisotropy with an easy magnetization axis, which is oriented parallel or at least at an angle of less than 25° with respect to a coil axis of the coil, and a hard magnetization axis. The crosspiece is configured to form for each of the slots a slot wall which contains the material. The crosspiece includes a core which is made of an isotropic soft-magnetic material.

  • Patent number: 10122230
    Abstract: A permanent-field armature for an electrical machine includes an armature body having internal magnet pockets, and a plurality of permanent magnets having a magnetization for generating a magnetic field and disposed in the magnetic pockets in one-to-one correspondence. The armature body guides the magnetic field between the magnet pockets and magnetic poles of the armature on an armature surface. Each magnet pocket is formed for guiding the magnetic field in a material which has at least one area having a magnetic anisotropy with an easy axis and a hard axis of magnetizing capability, with the easy axis being aligned in parallel relation to or at least at an angle of less than 25° to a magnetization direction of the magnetization of the permanent magnet disposed in the magnet pocket.

    Abstract: A rotor (11) with a squirrel cage and permanent magnets (19) mounted on and distributed around the circumference of the rotor, including a core stack extending over the entire rotor region with longitudinally continuous rotor slots extending over the length of the core stack. The squirrel cage is constructed with cage bars disposed, and preferably cast, in the rotor slots; short circuit rings connect the cage bars at both end faces of the core; and the radius of the rotor region is reduced by at least the radial thickness of the magnets. The radius of rotor (11) is reduced over the entire length between short circuit rings (17) such that the radial height of cage bars (15, 29) or cage webs (27) connected thereto is reduced.

    Abstract: A cage rotor of an asynchronous machine includes radially closed or partially opened slot recesses. Arranged in the slot recesses are conductor bars which are fixed in the slot recesses by a metal foam. The slot recesses can be produced by punching individual sheet metals which are then stacked to form a laminated core.

  • Patent number: RE47895
    Abstract: A method and a subscriber station for allocating rights of access to a telecommunications channel of the telecommunications network to at least one subscriber station (5, 10, 15, 20) are proposed in which information signals are transmitted to the at least one subscriber station (5, 10, 15, 20). With the information signals, access authorization data (45, 50, 55) are transmitted to the at least one subscriber station (5, 10, 15, 20). Upon reception of the access authorization data (45, 50, 55) in an evaluation unit (6) of the at least one subscriber station (5, 10, 15, 20), the question is asked whether the access authorization data (45, 50, 55) include an access threshold value (S), and the access threshold value (S) is compared with a random number or a pseudo-random number (R), and the right of access to a telecommunications channel of the at least one subscriber station (5, 10, 15, 20) is granted as a function of the outcome of comparison.
