Abstract

A housing part for attachment to a housing includes: at least one opening for at least one conductor embedded in a glass or a glass-ceramic material that is fed into the at least one opening providing a glass-metal seal (GTMS); an elevated area and/or a recess area configured to center the housing part within a structure of the housing and/or enhance the resilience against bending, the at least one opening being provided in the elevated area and/or the recess area, the elevated area and/or the recess area being situated in a glassing area plane; and at least two bores situated in a plane different from the glassing area plane.

Claims (27)

1 . A housing part for attachment to a housing, the housing part comprising:

at least one opening for at least one conductor embedded in a glass or a glass-ceramic material that is fed into the at least one opening providing a glass-metal seal (GTMS);

an elevated area and/or a recess area configured to center the housing part within a structure of the housing and/or enhance the resilience against bending, wherein the at least one opening is provided in the elevated area and/or the recess area, wherein the elevated area and/or the recess area is situated in a glassing area plane; and

at least two bores situated in a plane different from the glassing area plane, wherein an entryway of the at least one opening is situated in a first glassing area plane and an entryway of each of the at least two bores is situated in a plane different from the first glassing area plane, the respective entryways being located at a first side of the housing part, and wherein an exit of the at least one opening is situated in a second glassing area plane and an exit of each of the at least two bores is situated in a plane different from the second glassing area plane, the respective exits being located at an opposite second side of the housing part.

2 . The housing part of claim 1 , further comprising a pulled up edge.

3 . The housing part of claim 1 , wherein the housing part comprises a plurality of openings and/or the housing part forms an elongated structure.

4 . The housing part of claim 1 , wherein the housing part comprises a material that is at least one of steel, stainless steel, structural steel, micro-alloyed steel, or structural steel in the form of micro-alloyed steel.

5 . The housing part of claim 1 , wherein the housing part comprises the elevated area and the elevated area represents a plane which is elevated from a plane of a base of the housing part, wherein the elevated area has a side wall which extends from the base of the housing part, and wherein a transition of the base of the housing part to the side wall is rounded.

6 . The housing part of claim 1 , wherein the elevated area and/or the recess area has, at least at a side to be connected to the housing, a flatness according to ISO 1101 of at least 0.1.

7 . The housing part of claim 1 , wherein the at least one conductor and the glass or glass-ceramic material form a compression seal.

8 . The housing part of claim 1 , further comprising at least one attachment bore.

9 . The housing part of claim 1 , wherein the housing part comprises the elevated area and at least an area of an elevated plane of the elevated area has a structure.

10 . The housing part of claim 1 , further comprising an area with a roughness for a casting compound and/or an adhesive and/or an area which provides for a seal between the housing part and the housing.

11 . The housing part of claim 1 , further comprising tenons and/or pins and/or mushroom shaped head parts and/or a ring embossing and/or ring shaped grooves configured to connect plastic and/or rubber material to material of the housing part.

12 . The housing part of claim 1 , wherein a flatness area surrounds the at least two bores.

13 . The housing part of claim 1 , further comprising a groove, wherein the groove is situated around at least the at least one opening with the conductor embedded in a glass- or glass-ceramic material.

14 . The housing part of claim 1 , wherein the at least one opening defines a single respective cross-sectional area and each of the at least two bores defines a single respective cross-sectional area.

15 . The housing part of claim 2 , wherein the elevated area and/or the recess area and/or the pulled up edge is formed by using a stamping or reforming process, wherein the elevated area and/or the recess area and/or the pulled up edge and the housing part are a one-piece part.

16 . The housing part of claim 2 , wherein the pulled up edge is a separate part that is joined with the housing part by fusing.

17 . The housing part of claim 2 , wherein the housing part is reshaped in order to provide the pulled up edge.

18 . The housing part of claim 5 , wherein the transition has a radius R that is between 0.01 mm and 0.8 mm.

19 . The housing part of claim 13 , wherein the groove is filled with a plastic or rubber or elastic material.

20 . An electric compressor, comprising:

a housing part for attachment to a housing, the housing part comprising:

at least one opening for at least one conductor embedded in a glass or a glass-ceramic material that is fed into the at least one opening providing a glass-metal seal (GTMS);

an elevated area and/or a recess area configured to center the housing part within a structure of the housing and/or enhance the resilience against bending, wherein the at least one opening is provided in the elevated area and/or the recess area, wherein the elevated area and/or the recess area is situated in a glassing area plane; and

at least two bores situated in a plane different from the glassing area plane, wherein an entryway of the at least one opening is situated in a first glassing area plane and an entryway of each of the at least two bores is situated in a plane different from the first glassing area plane, the respective entryways being located at a first side of the housing part, and wherein an exit of the at least one opening is situated in a second glassing area plane and an exit of each of the at least two bores is situated in a plane different from the second glassing area plane, the respective exits being located at an opposite second side of the housing part.
