Abstract

A hydrostatic compact assembly includes an electric motor, a tank, and a pump. The pump is configured to deliver a pressure fluid from the tank to a consumer connection. The tank has a circular ring-like shape that surrounds the electric motor and the pump.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A compact electrohydraulic assembly, comprising:
a tank configured to store a pressure medium, and including an inner wall that delimits an interior space that is separated from the pressure medium; and
a drive unit including:
an electric motor; and
a hydrostatic pump configured to suck pressure medium out of the tank,

wherein the electric motor and the pump are positioned in the interior space of the tank.

2. The compact assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the drive unit is spaced apart from the inner wall.

3. The compact assembly as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a cover fastened to the tank and the drive unit.

4. The compact assembly as claimed in claim 3 , further comprising:
a further plate pack positioned on a side of the cover facing away from the tank; and
motor heat pipes that pass through the cover, and that connect, in a heat-conducting manner, the electric motor to the further plate pack.

5. The compact assembly as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the cover is a cooling plate.

6. The compact assembly as claimed in claim 5 , further comprising:
a frequency converter fastened to a side of the cooling plate facing away from the tank, and configured to supply the electric motor with a supply electrically.

7. The compact assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the tank is formed from plastic.

8. The compact assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein:
the inner wall has a substantially circular-cylindrical shape; and
the tank further includes an outer wall having a substantially circular-cylindrical shape.

9. The compact assembly as claimed in claim 8 , further comprising:
a cover fastened to the drive unit and to the tank; and
a base
wherein either (i) the inner wall and the outer wall are clamped between the cover and the base via at least one tie rod, or (ii) the inner wall and the outer wall are formed integrally with the base.

10. The compact assembly as claimed in claim 9 , wherein:
the base has a circular ring-like shape;
the cover has a circular ring-like shape or a circular disk-like shape; and
the inner wall, the outer wall, the base, the cover, and a central axis of either the electric motor or of the drive unit are concentric with respect to each other.

11. The compact assembly as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the tank further includes a plate pack configured to guide the pressure medium.

12. The compact assembly as claimed in claim 11 , further comprising:
a cover fastened to the drive unit and to the tank;
a further plate pack positioned on a side of the cover facing away from the tank; and
a plurality of pressure-medium heat pipes that pass through the cover, and that connect, in a heat conducting manner, plates of the plate pack to the further plate pack.
