Patent number: 11621599Abstract: An insulating unit for an electric machine with hairpin winding. The hairpin winding has a plurality of connection pins for electrically connecting to an interconnect and a plurality of welded hairpin ends. A base body is provided having an insulating material and extends at least over a portion of the circumference of the hairpin winding. The base body has a receiving area which faces the hairpin winding and which has openings for receiving the hairpin ends. The dividing walls are provided between the openings in circumferential direction, and the openings and/or dividing walls have fasteners for engaging connection to the hairpin ends.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2019Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: ZF FRIEDRICHSHAFEN AGInventors: Ralf Wittstadt, Katja Willacker, Jochen Wittmann, Stefan Reuter, Andre Grübel, Matthias Ebert

Patent number: 11196325Abstract: A stator for an electric machine having an annular lamination stack with a longitudinal axis and slots extending along the longitudinal axis, at least three electrical phases, each of which has two partial strands, a plurality of rings connected in series to form a partial strand, a plurality of connection wires arranged to form a ring in adjacent layers of the slots, and a power connection for electrically connecting the stator. The connection wires are connected by pairs at a contacting side of the lamination stack for connecting adjacent layers at contacting areas. The power connection is arranged at the contacting side, and the connection wires are closed in each instance at an opposed contacting side opposite the contacting side.Type: GrantFiled: January 2, 2018Date of Patent: December 7, 2021Assignee: ZF Friedrichshafen AGInventors: Carsten Dotzel, Stefan Reuter, André Grübel, Matthias Ebert

Patent number: 10333366Abstract: A slot-closing device for closing a slot in a stator or a rotor of an electric machine includes a closure element for closing the slot. A closure element for closing the slot contains a ferromagnetic material, and has a predetermined bending section along a longitudinal extension direction of the closure element, such that two leg portions disposed at an obtuse angle of less than 180° to one another are connected by the bending section. An adhesive layer designed to harden when heated is disposed on edges of the two leg portions.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2016Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: André Grübel, Dieter Schirm

Patent number: 10218238Abstract: A slot-closing device for closing a slot in a stator or a rotor of an electric machine includes a closure element which contains a ferromagnetic material. An adhesive layer disposed on the closure element is designed to expand and harden when heated. The adhesive layer contains a thermally activatable blowing agent configured as an expansion element which contains a closed cavity filled with gas. The cavity is partially enclosed by a thermoplastic resin in the expansion element.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 2016Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: André Grübel, Dieter Schirm
