ARRANGEMENT FOR COOLING A FUEL CELL AND AN ELECTRIC TRACTION AND/OR PROPULSION MOTOR OF A VEHICLE
20230271531 · 2023-08-31 · ·

An arrangement for a vehicle includes a fuel cell, an electric traction and/or propulsion motor, and a single cooling circuit cooling the fuel cell and the electric motor. The cooling circuit includes two parts: a first, high-flowrate and high-temperature part including a high-temperature exchanger and a second, low-flowrate and low-temperature part including a low-temperature exchanger. The first part cools the fuel cell and the second part cools the electric motor. The first part includes a high-flowrate pump, in particular for a high flowrate of between 8000 l/h and 9000 l/h and the second part includes a low-flowrate pump, in particular for a low flowrate of between 2000 l/h and 3000 l/h.

Active grid device for motor vehicles

An active gate device, comprising first and second flaps, capable of pivoting between a closed position and an open position; first and second cam tracks; and first and second mechanisms connecting the flaps to the cam tracks. The device further comprises: a rotary actuating lever; and first and second shoes slidable in the first and second cam tracks, respectively. The actuating lever is pivotable between three configurations, such that: in the first configuration, each flap is in the closed position; in the second configuration, the first flap is in the open position and the second flap is in the closed position; and in the third configuration, each flap is in the open position.

Disclosed herein is a baffle for regulating air flow around an object. The baffle can be of unitary construction and can be made by a single shot injection molding process. The baffle can have an edge portion that is more flexible than the base portion. The baffle has also can have a base portion with a base portion thickness and an edge portion with an edge portion thickness that is less than the base portion thickness. A method of making a baffle by an injection molding process is also disclosed.

Block-like Electric Drive Providing Dual Single-wheel Drives with Parking Locks
20230256802 · 2023-08-17 ·

A block-like electric drive providing two single-wheel drives on one axle comprises two electric machines, each having a parallel rotor axis and a transmission on an end face. The single-wheel drives or the electric machines are arranged at least partially congruent with each other in a longitudinal vehicle direction for installation. A respective inverter serves to actuate each one of the two electric machines, the inverters being arranged next to each other at a highest point of the drive block in the installation position. The two electric machines are arranged one behind the other with regard to their housings. The drive block thus has two drives with separate transmission housings. Each drive can advantageously be equipped with a parking lock for blocking an output shaft. A locked state can thus be created in each drive combination.
