Patent number: 11296565Abstract: The invention relates to a stator having a multi-phase wave winding made of hairpin conductor elements (5). Each phase consists of two parallel or serially connected branches (6, 6.1, 6.2). Each branch has a first (3.1) and a second (3.2) winding portion, which are connected to each other in series. The slot position of the two limbs (5.1) of each hairpin conductor element alternates by +?1. The first winding portion (3.1) extends clockwise along the stator circumference; the second winding portion (3.2) extends counterclockwise and is connected to the first winding portion via a reverse-connector conductor element (12, 12.1, 12.2). Both limbs of the reverse-connector conductor element (12.1) of the first winding branch (6.1) are located in the uppermost slot position; the limbs of the reverse-connector conductor element (12.2) of the second winding branch (6.2) are located in the lowermost slot position.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2018Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Andreas Herzberger, Armin Elser, Martin Ermer, Patrick Heuser, Tobias Hein, Johannes Riedl

Patent number: 8424186Abstract: A method for manufacturing an electric machine, made up of a housing, a stator accommodated in the housing, which is formed from a stator body and stator windings, a rotor, which is supported in the housing so as to be rotatable about a rotor axis, and a bearing support fastened on the housing, includes a housing foam part manufactured from at least three individual foam parts and a housing cast blank manufactured using the housing foam part in accordance with a lost foam casting method. Individual foam parts are made up of a center disk having an essentially hollow-cylindrical design and forming an intermediate piece of a housing foam part, an annular disk having an essentially hollow-cylindrical design and forming another intermediate piece of the housing foam part, and a bearing support disk having an essentially cup-shaped design and forming an end of the housing foam part.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2009Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Denis Kern, Andreas Herzberger
