  • Patent number: 12038021
    Abstract: An automotive fluid pump arrangement includes a pump unit having an axial pump unit stop surface, and a mounting device which supports and mounts the pump unit. The mounting device has a support part having a ring-shape. The support part radially encloses, supports, and provides a vibration-decoupling of the pump unit. The support part has an axial support part stop surface which corresponds to and which cooperates with the axial pump unit stop surface so as to axially stop the pump unit in an axial mounting direction, a mounting part which attaches the mounting device to a corresponding motor vehicle mounting structure, and a tensioned friction enhancing longitudinal lip ring which is arranged to surround the pump unit utricularly so as to frictionally lock the pump unit in an axial dismounting direction.

  • Patent number: 11542959
    Abstract: A motor vehicle pump arrangement includes a pumping unit and a mounting arrangement. The pumping unit has a substantially cylindrical pumping unit housing and at least one support protrusion which radially protrudes from the pumping unit housing. The mounting arrangement mounts the pumping unit to a motor vehicle mounting structure corresponding thereto. The mounting arrangement has a ring-shaped pump support body. The pump support body radially surrounds and supports the pumping unit and is attachable to the motor vehicle mounting structure. An axial side of the pump support body includes a castellated structure having axially extending merlons and protrusion receptacles. One protrusion receptacle is arranged between two adjacent merlons. The support protrusion engages with at least one of the protrusion receptacles.

  • Patent number: 10415568
    Abstract: An electric canned coolant pump includes a drive motor comprising a split case provided as a separating can which separates a wet chamber comprising a motor rotor from a dry chamber comprising a motor stator. The separating can comprises a separating can form-fit structure. A Hall sensor is arranged on the separating can. The Hall sensor detects a position of the motor rotor in the dry chamber. The Hall sensor comprises a sensor head and Hall sensor electric connecting lines. A positioning element comprises positioning element electric connecting lines which are connected with the corresponding Hall sensor electric connecting lines. The positioning element electric connecting lines comprise a connecting body comprising a connecting body form-fit structure. The connecting body is electrically insulating and holds the positioning element electric connecting lines. The separating can form-fit structure and the connecting body form-fit structure fix the connecting body on the separating can.
