Motor fan and guard for directing coolant air

An electric motor assembly includes a stator, a rotor, a motor housing, a rotatable shaft, a radial fan, and an air scoop. The motor housing at least partly houses the stator and rotor and presents an exterior motor surface. The rotatable shaft is associated with the rotor for rotational movement therewith, with the rotatable shaft extending along a rotational axis. The radial fan is mounted on the rotatable shaft exteriorly of the motor housing and is rotatable with the shaft to direct airflow in a radially outward direction. The air scoop extends radially outwardly relative to the radial fan and axially to receive radial airflow from the radial fan and turn the airflow axially to flow along the exterior motor surface. The air scoop includes spaced apart axially extending airflow vanes to guide the airflow as the airflow is turned axially.

Compression-loaded printed circuit assembly for solder defect mitigation
11183438 · 2021-11-23 · ·

The present disclosure provides systems for applying a compression load on at least part of an application specific integrated circuit (“ASIC”) ball grid array (“BGA”) package during the rework or secondary reflow process. The compression-loading assembly may include a top plate and a compression plate. The compression plate may exert a compression load on at least part of the ASIC using one or more compression mechanisms. The compression mechanisms may each include a bolt and a spring. The bolt may releasably couple the top plate to the compression plate and allow for adjustments to the compression load. The spring may be positioned on the bolt between the top plate and the compression plate and, therefore, may exert a force in a direction away from the top plate and toward the compression plate. The compression load may retain the solder joint and may prevent the solder separation defect during the reflow process.
