A ceiling fan motor housing includes a bottom cover member, a hollow housing member, and a plurality of screws. The bottom cover member is formed with a plurality of threaded holes. The housing member is formed with a plurality of L-shaped positioning members extending from a bottom end thereof. Each of the positioning members has a vertical portion which is connected to the bottom end of the housing member and a horizontal portion which extends inwardly from a bottom end of the vertical portion, supports the bottom cover member, and is formed with a positioning hole. The screws respectively extend through the positioning holes of the positioning members to respectively engage the threaded holes of the bottom cover member.

A compact drive unit is predominantly intended for traction vehicles, especially for rail vehicles. This invention allows significant reduction of volume and weight of drive units. The drive unit comprises high-speed electrical motor (1) with passive cooling, which is supplied by power electronics converter (2), whose rotor is supported by bearings (3) along with pinion gear (4) of the input spur/helical gear (5). The output shaft (6) of the gear (5) is a part of the next following gear (7). Output shaft of this gear (7) can be connected either directly or by using the coupling (12) to the axle (8) of the traction vehicle, or to the wheel (9). Alternatively, in case the higher transmission ratio is required, it can be connected to another gears (10), where the output shaft of the gears (10) is connected to the wheel (9), or to the axle (8) of the traction vehicle directly or by using the coupling (12). The drive unit can be equipped with brake (13).

The invention relates to an electric machine (1) having: a rotor (3); a stator (2); multiple winding pieces (5) which are in the form of hollow conductors, form different coils of a winding (4) of the electric machine (1) and are each part of a coolant circuit of the electric machine (1); and multiple external phase connections (L1-L3) which are electrically connected to the winding pieces (5). According to the invention, a hydraulic connection part (15) to which a number of the winding pieces (5) are hydraulically connected, and a seal (27) which has multiple passages (28), in each of which an end portion (8) of one of the winding pieces (5) is situated, are provided, the hydraulic connection part (15) and the seal (27) having opposing surfaces (29, 30) which rest against each other in order to ensure sealing of the individual connections of the winding pieces (5) to the hydraulic connection part (15).

The invention relates to a cooling channel for a winding head of an electric machine, where the cooling channel is formed to be annular for guiding a cooling fluid with at least one inflow and at least one outflow and for being arranged around the winding head. With the aim of an improved sealing property, the cooling channel comprises an axially movable pressing member which is arranged such that a cooling fluid can flow onto the pressing member and a pressing force against the cooling channel can be generated.

A cooling system simultaneously cools both a power module and a vehicle motor. A vehicle motor housing is provided in thermal communication with a plurality of manifolds. Each manifold defines a cooling fluid inlet, a cooling fluid outlet, and a distribution recess providing fluid communication. The distribution recess may be defined by a wall having an exterior major surface in thermal communication with the vehicle motor. A manifold fluid insert may be disposed within the distribution recess, defining a plurality of inlet branch channels and outlet branch channels. A power module may be coupled to the manifold and a heat sink feature. A flow of coolant fluid is provided from each cooling fluid inlet, through the inlet branch channels of the manifold fluid insert for impingement with the heat sink feature, returning through the outlet branch channels and to the cooling fluid outlet of the respective manifold.
