Patent number: 11750062Abstract: A drive device includes an electric motor and a gear unit that is driven by the electric motor. The electric motor has a laminated stator core which includes stator windings and is accommodated in a stator housing. The stator housing has recesses that are axially uninterrupted, i.e. in particular in the direction of the rotor shaft axis, and the stator housing is surrounded, especially radially surrounded, by a housing of the drive device, in particular a tubular housing and/or a cup-shaped housing, and the housing is set apart from the stator housing, in particular such that an especially circulating airflow is able to be provided within the housing, the recesses in particular guiding the airflow through in the axial direction, and the airflow being returned in the opposite direction in the set-apart region between the stator housing part and the housing.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2021Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: SEW-EURODRIVE GMBH & CO. KGInventors: Waldemar Becker, Domenik Hettel, Thomas Rung, Jens Schillinger

Publication number: 20060100747Abstract: The invention provides a regulator system for regulating the operation of an irrigation system which is responsive to user programmed information. It has a control element for issuing watering control signals to an irrigation system, having at least one of (i) a duration programming device for programming a minimum amount of time and a maximum amount of time for the suspension of watering by the irrigation system, and (ii) a user adjustable temperature programming device for programming a minimum allowed temperature for initiating a watering period by the irrigation system. It further has an irrigation system interface for connecting said control element with the irrigation system. It also has a switch for conveying the control signals from the control element to the irrigation system via the irrigation system interface, for either permitting or prohibiting watering by the irrigation system, responsive to the control signals generated by and received from the control element.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2005Publication date: May 11, 2006Inventors: Thomas Runge, Bruce Downie
