  • Patent number: 10476345
    Abstract: A rotary electric machine having a stator and a rotor, in addition to an electric control device and a connection device which comprises at least one coupling element for electrically connecting the control device to one or several electrical lines and a mass element provided to connect to an electric mass potential. In order to improve the machine with respect to electromagnetic interference, the stator is connected to the mass element by a contact bridge which has a first securing section and a second securing section in addition to a bridge element arranged between the securing sections and includes a single-piece spring steel sheet which is at least partially sinuous.

  • Patent number: 10468932
    Abstract: An electric motor has a switching unit with a number of contact wires and an annular frame part. The contact wires are arranged to form an interconnect ring for the coil ends of a stator winding and the ends of the wires being connected by insulation displacement contacts. Each of the contacts have two insulation displacement limbs for connecting at least two of the wire ends, the limbs being spaced apart, thus forming an insulation displacement slot therebetween. The frame part of the switching unit has a number of plug-in pockets for receiving the insulation displacement contacts, the number corresponding to the number of insulation displacement contacts.

  • Patent number: 10432058
    Abstract: A device for mounting an electric motor, in particular a fan drive of a heating or an air conditioning system in a motor vehicle, in such a way that vibrations are decoupled, the device having a number of damping and/or decoupling elements at the motor end, each damping or decoupling element being supported eccentrically in relation to the electric motor or the stator thereof or pole casing or motor housing thereof. A drive and to a damping and/or decoupling element is also provided.

  • Patent number: 9985495
    Abstract: An apparatus for mounting an electric motor, in particular a fan drive of a heating or air-conditioning system of a motor vehicle, such that vibrations are decoupled, having a number of elastic damping elements which are plug-mounted on the motor, and also comprising a corresponding number of mounting contours, which are associated with said damping elements, in an external housing which at least partially surrounds the motor housing, wherein the respective damping element has a central insertion slot for the corresponding radial lug, and wherein the respective damping element has material spokes, which extend in the manner of a star starting from the insertion slot, so as to form spoke sections which face one another and between which slot regions which are free of material and open at the periphery are formed.
