Abstract

The invention relates to a method for producing a drive unit device, in particular a fan device, which has at least one first modular unit ( 12 ) and at least one second modular unit ( 16 ), which concentrically accommodates at least a portion of the first modular unit ( 12 ), with the first and second modular units ( 12, 16 ) being intended to contribute mechanically to a change in torque, and the first modular unit ( 12 ) being secured in the second modular unit ( 16 ) in at least one method step ( 100, 110 ). To increase safety and reduce process costs, it is proposed that the first modular unit ( 12 ) be secured in the second modular unit ( 16 ) by means of at least one concentric pressing process step.

Claims (12)

1. A method for producing a drive unit device, which has at least one first modular unit ( 12 ) and at least one second modular unit ( 16 ), which concentrically accommodates at least a portion of the first modular unit ( 12 ), wherein the first and second modular units ( 12 , 16 ) are intended to contribute mechanically to a change in torque, wherein the first modular unit ( 12 ) is secured in the second modular unit ( 16 ) in at least one method step ( 100 , 110 ), characterized in that the first modular unit ( 12 ) is secured in the second modular unit ( 16 ) by means of at least one concentric pressing process step;

wherein, in the at least one concentric pressing process step, at least one basic modular unit ( 24 ) is an object to be pressed and is arranged such that a press unit surrounds it concentrically and, during a pressing process, a concentric movement of the press unit in the direction toward a center point thereof exerts a concentric pressing force onto the at least one basic modular unit ( 24 );

wherein, in the pressing process step, the basic modular unit ( 24 ) is deformed by means of a hydraulic press operating as the press unit; and

wherein the second modular unit ( 16 ) is produced in the pressing process step by the deformation ( 22 ) of the at least one basic modular unit ( 24 ).

2. The method according to claim 1 , characterized in that a cylindrical basic shape is used for the basic modular unit ( 24 ).

3. The method according to claim 1 , characterized in that at least one metallic material is used for the second modular unit ( 16 ).

4. The method according to claim 1 , characterized in that a cylindrical basic shape is used for the first modular unit ( 12 ).

5. A drive unit device, produced by a method according to claim 1 .

6. The drive unit device according to claim 5 , characterized in that the second modular unit ( 16 ) has a plurality of impressions arranged circumferentially.

7. The drive unit device according to claim 5 , characterized in that the second modular unit ( 16 ) is configured as a housing unit.

8. The drive unit device according to claim 5 , characterized in that the first modular unit ( 12 ) is configured as a stator unit.

9. A drive unit ( 10 ), having a drive unit device according to claim 5 .
