  • Publication number: 20240128822
    Abstract: A pole cover is provided for receiving and guiding a winding on a rotor of an electric motor, comprising multiple segments which extend in a radial direction to a center axis of the pole cover, wherein the segments receive a partial region of the winding of the electric motor, and wherein each of the segments includes a winding region to receive the winding and a segment connection region for connecting to other segments, wherein the winding region and the segment connection region border on each other and the segment connection region is situated closer to the center axis than the winding region. The segment connection regions extend at least partially in the circumferential direction about the center axis and each segment connection region protrudes, in the circumferential direction about the center axis, beyond the adjoining winding region. Multiple decoupling regions are also provided, each being situated between two segment connection regions in the circumferential direction about the center axis.

  • Patent number: 11757319
    Abstract: A star disk for a rotor of an externally excited synchronous machine, having a central disk body, from which multiple webs extend radially, at the ends of which an end plate is provided each time, so that between the disk body and the respective end plate there is formed a winding groove, being bounded by the web forming the groove bottom and laterally by the disk body and the end plate, forming groove flanks, and serving to contain a conductor winding led around the web and formed from a conductor wire which is wound in multiple layers, wherein the web is provided with flutes running in the winding direction and serving to contain a respective conductor wire segment, there being provided at least one additional flute on a groove flank at least on one side of the web.

  • Publication number: 20230246504
    Abstract: A stator for an electric machine comprises a winding support having multiple grooves and at least one conductor forming a respective winding for a respective phase of the stator, wherein a first and second conductor section of the conductor are formed respectively by multiple conductively interconnected conductor clips, wherein the conductor clips comprise respectively two groove sections, each being led through one of the grooves of the winding support, a coupling section connecting the groove sections, and two connection sections which protrude beyond the grooves on the side of the winding support situated opposite the coupling section, wherein the first and second conductor section are connected to each other in series by an intermediate conductor, wherein the intermediate conductor conductively connects exclusively one connection section of a conductor clip of the first conductor section to a connection section of a conductor clip of the second conductor section and is arranged radially within the connect
