  • Patent number: 11870303
    Abstract: A segmented stator has a plurality of individual teeth (12) connected to one another in the direction of rotation. Each individual tooth (12) has a connecting portion (17) to produce a nonpositive mechanical connection with at least one directly adjacent individual tooth (12). The respective connecting portion (17) has a groove-shaped fastening contour (18, 18a, 19, 19a), at least on one connecting side (17a, 17b), facing toward the directly adjacent individual tooth (12). The fastening contour (18, 18a, 19, 19a) of an adjacent individual tooth (12) can be connected to its connecting portion (17), such that a nonpositive connection is produced which ensures a magnetic flux.

  • Publication number: 20230043968
    Abstract: An electric motor (1), in particular, an external rotor motor, has a stator (10) with a stator core (11), a non-rotatably attached shaft (20), that extends in the axial direction (A) of the motor, and a rotor bell (30), rotatably arranged relative to the non-rotatable shaft (20). The rotor bell (30) has cooling ribs in an open, spoke-like design rotatably mounted on the shaft (20) by at least one first stator-side bearing shield (31). A cooling device (40) is arranged between and connects the shaft (20) and the stator core (11). The cooling device (40) has a plurality of axial flow openings (41) arranged in the circumferential direction that causes cooling when the motor rotates during operation.

  • Publication number: 20220302774
    Abstract: An external rotor motor (1) has a stator (10) with a stator lamination (11), a shaft (20) and a rotor bell (30). The shaft (20) is attached in a non-rotatable manner and extends in the axial direction (A) of the motor. The rotor bell (30) is arranged such that it can rotate relative to the non-rotatable shaft (20). The rotor bell (30) is rotatably mounted on the shaft (20) by at least one first stator-side bearing shield (31) and a second rotor-side bearing shield (32). The stator (10) has a modular construction with a plurality of individual teeth (12) to attach the stator windings (16). The individual teeth (12) are attached to one another in the direction of rotation and/or to a central stator body (17) by a respective fastening contour (15, 18, 18a, 19, 19a), through which a fastening pin (15) extends.
