  • Publication number: 20240133458
    Abstract: A ventilation module for a transmission of a motor vehicle, in particular an electrically driven motor vehicle, comprises a housing with a connection opening on the transmission side and an atmosphere opening open to the environment, wherein a gas channel connecting the connection opening to the atmosphere opening in a gas-conducting manner is provided in the housing. A float valve with a float arranged in a float chamber, a valve body and a valve opening is arranged in the gas channel, wherein liquid entering the float chamber through the atmosphere opening causes the float to rise, wherein when a certain liquid level in the float chamber is exceeded the float, the valve body connected to the float, closes the valve opening and thereby the gas channel in a liquid-tight manner.

  • Patent number: 11692468
    Abstract: The invention relates to an oil separating device (10) for crankcase ventilation of an internal combustion engine, comprising a carrier (11) comprising a gas inlet line (12) for flowing blow-by gas (13) having an inlet end and an outlet end, and a gap-defining element (15), wherein at least one annular gap (5, 6) is formed or can be formed between the gap-defining element (15) and the outlet end of the gas inlet line (12). A baffle wall (7, 8) is arranged downstream of the annular gap (5, 6). The oil separating device (10) comprises a circumferential wall (18), which surrounds the outer circumference of the gap-defining element (15) and is fixed relative to the carrier (11).

  • Publication number: 20170306816
    Abstract: A venting module for an internal combustion engine comprises an oil separator with an oil return line, and a check valve which is arranged in the oil return line. The check valve comprises a valve housing, a valve body which is held in the valve housing such that it can be displaced as an entirety between an open position and a closed position, wherein the valve body is held in the open position without prestress and as a result of gravity in the rest state of the internal combustion engine. During operation of the internal combustion engine, the valve body is in the open position independently of the prevailing gas pressure if a defined liquid level in the valve housing is not exceeded, and the valve body is set up for automatic displacement into the closed position as a result of buoyancy if a defined liquid level in the valve housing is exceeded.

  • Patent number: 6340922
    Abstract: A band-pass filter for a waveguide, which additionally serves as a blocking filter for the concerted suppression of interference frequencies. In addition to a centrally arranged aperture (3), a waveguide aperture has two identically designed apertures (4), which are laid out for natural resonance for an interference frequency f (ind S1) to be blocked by the waveguide filter, and are arranged symmetrical to the central aperture opening (3). In waveguide devices, the invention is used to meet the statutory frequency specifications and simultaneously suppress interference frequencies.

  • Patent number: 5969578
    Abstract: A waveguide oscillator by means of which carrier waves can be generated in a waveguide. The waveguide oscillator takes the form of a planar slotted guide structure arranged in the waveguide approximately perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the waveguide and has two transmitting slotted guides, at least one semiconductor oscillator element and at least one compensation slotted guide.

  • Patent number: 5794135
    Abstract: The invention concerns a millimeter wave mixer realized by windowing, and includes a coplanar conductive line (320) that is produced in plating (212) on a substrate (211) disposed in a rectangular waveguide. The coplanar line (320) divides the plating (212) into two parts. The coplanar line (320) is guided out along the narrow sides of the waveguide and is connected to each of the two parts of the plating (212) via first and second diodes (41, 42). At least two slot lines (51-54) are produced parallel to the broad sides of the waveguides in the plating (212).
