  • Publication number: 20230198359
    Abstract: A rotor for a rotary electric machine, the rotor having an axis of rotation and including a rotor shaft extending parallel to the axis of rotation, a rotor body mounted on the rotor shaft and having a plurality of teeth protruding radially, and at least one field coil wound around the plurality of teeth, the field coil forming coil ends at axial ends of the teeth. At least one cover mounted on the rotor shaft and configured to cover the coil ends. The cover includes a plurality of holes configured to each receive a solid balancing element which provides an additional mass to the rotor in order to balance said rotor.

  • Publication number: 20230179051
    Abstract: A rotor for an electric machine is disclosed. The rotor has a rotor shaft, a laminated core arranged on the rotor shaft and a plurality of stacked electrical laminations. The rotor also includes a first end plate arranged on an axial side of the laminated core and having radial protrusions arranged along its circumference, a second end plate arranged on the opposite axial side of the laminated core and having radial protrusions arranged along its circumference, a plurality of rotor windings which are each wound around a protrusion of the first end plate and around an axially opposite protrusion of the second end plate. A central cooling duct runs in the rotor shaft for supplying a coolant, and a radial cooling duct runs outwards from the central cooling duct in the laminated core. In addition, an electric machine and a vehicle having an electric machine of this type are described.

  • Patent number: 11658531
    Abstract: The invention specifies a rotor (1, 1a . . . 1f) for an electrical machine (14), which rotor comprises a rotor shaft (2, 2a . . . 2f), a rotor laminated core (3), which sits on the rotor shaft (2, 2a . . . 2f) with a press fit, a first rotor holder (5a . . . 5c), which is arranged adjacent to the rotor laminated core (3) on a first side thereof, and a second rotor holder (6a . . . 6d), which is arranged adjacent to the rotor laminated core (3) on a second, opposite side thereof. Furthermore, the rotor comprises a first shaft securing ring (7), which sits in a first groove of the rotor shaft (2, 2a . . . 2f) and axially secures the rotor laminated core (3). In addition, the invention specifies an electrical machine comprising a stator (15) and a rotor (1, 1a . . . 1f) of said type, and a vehicle (16) with at least two axles, at least one of which is driven. The driving of the vehicle (16) is performed at least partially or temporarily by the electrical machine (14) of the abovementioned type.

  • Publication number: 20230026066
    Abstract: A rotor for an electric machine includes a sheet metal package formed from stacked electrical sheets and having magnet pockets arranged therein, a plurality of magnets of which at least one is inserted into each of the magnet pockets, a plurality of clearances which are each delimited by the magnets inserted into one of the magnet pockets and by the sheet metal package, a filling opening which is arranged on an axial side of the sheet metal package and through which a first of the clearances is exposed, and a venting opening which is arranged on the axial side and through which a second of the clearances is exposed. The outer end of the filling opening and/or the outer end of the venting opening are widened. Also described are an electric machine having the rotor, a vehicle having the machine and a method for producing the rotor.
