Abstract

The invention relates to a method carried out with simple means for determining the position of the rotor in a sensorless and brushless multi-phase electric motor (1) in addition to a device particularly suitable for carrying out said method. According to said method, a phase voltage (Uv) on the clamping side on said motor phase is to be detected after clamping a first motor phase (V) from the reference potentials (UZ,M) of an intermediate circuit (7) during a detection period (TE), via which the detection period (TE) determines a peak value (Uv*) of the detected phase voltage (Uv), the peak values (Uv*) are to be compared to the comparative value (Uc), and a positon signal (SP) is to be produced when the peak value (Uv*) exceeds the comparative value (U0). The comparative value (Uc) is then determined digitally such that it corresponds to the value of the phase voltage (Uv) at a zero crossing of a voltage (UVind) induced in the first motor phase (V) or an increased or lowered value in relation to a predefined correction value (ﶴQ).

Abstract

An apparatus (21) is proposed for magnetization of permanent magnets (6) in an electrical machine, with a number of first permanent magnets (6) in each case representing a magnetic north pole (N) and a number of second permanent magnets (6) in each case representing a magnetic south pole (S), with the apparatus (21) having a number of magnet poles (23) for simultaneously supplying a magnetic flux to exclusively permanent magnets (6) of the same polarity. This results in very fast and homogeneous magnetization of permanent magnets (6) in an electrical machine. The electrical machine is, in particular, a brushless DC motor with an annular arrangement of the permanent magnets (6) on the rotor (1).

Abstract

The invention relates to a belt-tensioning drive which has an electric motor, a gear shaft and an output wheel. The electric motor drives the gear shaft via a first gear which is a worm gear. The gear shaft, for its part, uses a second gear to drive the output wheel which is connected in a rotationally fixed manner to the winding shaft of the seatbelt. This second gear is also a worm gear.

Abstract

The invention relates to an electrical machine (1) with a stator (3) that comprises a number of pole shoes (8) separated from one another and a number of permanent magnets (9) correlated with the pole shoes (8), and with a rotor (2) rotatable around a rotational axis (5) and interacting with the stator (3). The invention particularly relates to a DC motor equipped with a brush system. To find a method in which permanent magnets (9), in particular economically producible cuboidal permanent magnets (9), can be used in a stator (3) of such a machine (1) without this leading to an increased motor volume, it is proposed that adjacent pole shoes (8) of differing polarities have a receptacle opening (1) between them that is preferably completely filled by a permanent magnet (9).

Abstract

The invention relates to a constructively simple and inexpensive option for connecting a control unit (3) or similar to a drive unit (2) by means of a connection module (1) comprising a housing (6). A plurality of electrically conductive, rod-shaped first contact elements (11) and a plurality of electrically conductive, rod-shaped second contact elements (12) are arranged inside (9) the housing. The connection areas (19) of the first and second contact elements (11, 12) are embodied for producing an electric connection with the control unit (2) and point in the direction of the control unit (3), the contact areas (21) of the first contact element (11) are associated with an opening (25) of the housing (6), said contact areas being opposite to the connection areas (19) and point in the direction of the drive unit (2) and are embodied as contacts (33) for connecting to the drive unit. The contact areas (21) of the second contact elements (12) are arranged at a distance from the opening (25) of the housing (6) in the inside (9) of the housing (6) and point in the direction of the drive unit (2) and are connected directly to the connections (38) of a magnetic-field sensitive signal signalling device (40).
