Patents by Inventor Raphael Teufel

Raphael Teufel has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11489382
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rotor for a synchronous drive motor including a plurality of rotor poles, each rotor pole having at least two magnetic layers arranged radially one behind the other, and each magnetic layer comprising a series of magnetic elements, which are formed by injection molding or casting, and solidification of permanent magnetic material in rotor cavities. According to the invention, at least a portion of the magnetic elements each include projections protruding on both sides in their radially inner halves to introduce centrifugal forces of the magnetic elements into the rotor. This ensures an improved possibility of supporting the magnetic elements where sufficient rotor material is available. As a result, it is possible to prevent the radially outer ends of the magnetic elements from abutting the wall of the rotor as a result of centrifugal forces, which reduces the loads and deformations in the webs and bridges between the magnetic elements or to the outer edge of the rotor.

  • Patent number: 11322997
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rotor for a synchronous drive motor of an electrically driven motor vehicle having several rotor poles, wherein each rotor pole has at least three magnetic layers arranged radially one after the other with cavities, wherein an outermost magnetic layer includes at least one cavity filled with permanent magnetic material and each further magnetic layer includes at least two cavities filled with permanent magnetic material, furthermore each magnetic layer has an extension of a section of an ellipse, furthermore the central points of all ellipses lie within the smallest ellipse of the outer magnetic layer, wherein each cavity belonging to one of the at least three magnetic layers defines an interface in a radial plane, and each of these interfaces of a magnetic layer of the corresponding ellipse is divided into two partial interfaces, wherein bars made of the rotor material are formed in the second and every other magnetic layer between the cavities, and these bars, at the narrowest poi
