Abstract

An interference suppression device ( 100 ) for an electric machine ( 1 ), wherein at least a subregion of a spring element ( 25 ), together with a region ( 38 ) of a section ( 17; 17 a, 17 b ) which makes contact with a housing element ( 18 ), is arranged in a radial gap ( 40 ) between a component part ( 1 ) and the housing element ( 18 ).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An interference suppression device ( 100 ) for an electric machine ( 1 ), comprising at least one interference suppression element ( 15 ), which is fastened at least indirectly on a component part ( 11 ) of the machine ( 1 ), which component part consists of plastics, wherein the interference suppression element ( 15 ) bears with an electrically conductive section ( 17 ; 17 a, 17 b ) against a housing element ( 18 ) consisting of metal so as to form a connection to ground by means of a spring element ( 25 ), and wherein the spring element ( 25 ), together with a region ( 38 ) of the section ( 17 ; 17 a, 17 b ), which region makes contact with the housing element ( 18 ), is arranged in clamping fashion between the component part ( 11 ) of the machine ( 1 ) and the housing element ( 18 ) so as to form an elastic pretensioning force (F) of the spring element ( 25 ), wherein at least a subregion of the spring element ( 25 ), together with the region ( 38 ) of the section ( 17 ; 17 a, 17 b ) which makes contact with the housing element ( 18 ), is arranged in a radial gap ( 40 ) between the component part ( 1 ) and the housing element ( 18 ).

2. The interference suppression device according to claim 1 , characterized in that the spring element ( 25 ) is deformed elastically in the radial gap ( 40 ) by two supporting sections ( 31 , 32 ) bearing against the component part ( 11 ), and in that that region ( 38 ) of the section ( 17 ; 17 a, 17 b ) which bears against the housing part ( 18 ) is arranged between the supporting sections ( 31 , 32 ).

3. The interference suppression device according to claim 1 , characterized in that the spring element ( 25 ) is not electrically connected to the machine ( 1 ) apart from being electrically connected to the electrically conductive section ( 17 ; 17 a, 17 b ) of the interference suppression element ( 15 ).

4. The interference suppression device according to claim 1 , characterized in that the spring element ( 25 ) is formed as a stamped and bent part in the form of a spring metal sheet ( 26 ; 26 a ).

5. The interference suppression device according to claim 4 , characterized in that the spring metal sheet ( 26 ; 26 a ) has a guide slot ( 36 ), in which the electrically conductive section ( 17 ; 17 a , 17 b ) of the interference suppression element ( 15 ) is guided regionally.

6. The interference suppression device according to claim 1 , characterized in that the spring element ( 25 ) has a deformation section ( 33 ), against which the electrically conductive region ( 17 ; 17 a, 17 b ) bears regionally on a side facing the housing element ( 18 ), and in that the deformation section ( 33 ) is arranged between the supporting sections ( 31 , 32 ).

7. The interference suppression device according to claim 1 , characterized in that the component part ( 11 ) is a brushholder element in the form of a brushholder plate which is arranged transversely to a rotor shaft.

8. The interference suppression device according to claim 4 , characterized in that the spring metal sheet ( 26 ; 26 a ) is connected to the component part ( 11 ) by means of a clamping or latching connection.

9. The interference suppression device according to claim 4 , characterized in that the spring metal sheet ( 26 , 26 a ) has a substantially U-shaped holding section ( 27 ), which engages around a holding region ( 28 ) of the component part ( 11 ) in a form-fitting manner.

10. The interference suppression device according to claim 4 , characterized in that the spring metal sheet ( 26 a ) is designed to receive a plurality of sections ( 17 a, 17 b ) of interference suppression elements ( 15 ).

11. The interference suppression device according to claim 4 , characterized in that the spring metal sheet ( 26 a ) is designed to receive precisely two sections ( 17 a, 17 b ) of interference suppression elements ( 15 ).

12. The interference suppression device according to claim 1 , characterized in that the interference suppression means ( 15 ) is a Cy capacitor ( 16 ).

13. An electric machine, comprising an interference suppression device ( 100 ) according to claim 1 .

14. An electric motor ( 10 ), comprising an interference suppression device ( 100 ) according to claim 1 .

15. The electric motor according to claim 14 , characterized in that the electric motor ( 10 ) is in the form of a four-pole electric motor ( 10 ).

16. A comfort drive in a motor vehicle, comprising an electric motor according to claim 14 .
