A plurality of caps each have an outer rim and a washer portion defining a bolt receiving opening. The outer rim of each of the caps is press-fit into the receptacles in the motor housing. The caps are each attached to the stator by one of the bolts. The heads of the bolts clamp the cap to the stator to retain one end of the stator. The outer rim holds the cap in the motor housing while the washer portion flexes axially in response to thermal expansion and contraction of the motor housing. A method is disclosed for assembling the stator into the motor housing.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2019Date of Patent: February 22, 2022Assignee: FORD GLOBAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLCInventors: William David Guarino, Michael Coury, Kenneth Gerard Kraft, Peter Alexander Szpara, Siraj Siddiqui, Cyrille Goldstein

Patent number: 11218056Abstract: A first bearing box has, in one end face perpendicular to a direction along a rotor shaft and farther from a fan, an air outlet for air taken in through an air inlet to exit. A flow channel is defined between an outer peripheral surface of a cylindrical portion of the first bearing box continuous with the end face and a frame. A value obtained by dividing a distance between an outer periphery of blades in the fan and the air outlet by an outer radius of the blades is greater than or equal to a threshold.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2017Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Tatsuro Okubo, Hideo Terasawa
