  • Patent number: 11876422
    Abstract: A rotor for an electric machine has winding elements which are arranged in axially running grooves of a rotor body and having a winding head which is arranged axially next to the rotor body. The winding elements exit from the grooves in the axial direction in the region of the winding head and run in the axial direction in the region of the axial ends of the winding elements. Each of the winding elements has four curved portions in the region of the winding head. The rotor includes a plurality of tension bolts and a winding head carrier. The tension bolts connect the winding head to the winding head carrier and penetrate through the winding head radially.

  • Publication number: 20220324553
    Abstract: In order to suppress aeroelastic instabilities on a transonically operating aircraft comprising a pair of wing halves at which a transonic flow forms spatially limited supersonic flow regions that each, in a main flow direction of the flow, end in a compression shock, a boundary layer of the flow is temporarily thickened-up in at least one supersonic flow region at at least one of the two wing halves, when approaching a flight envelope of the aircraft with increasing flight Mach number of the aircraft. The boundary layer of the flow is thickened-up to such an extent that the compression shock at the end of the respective supersonic flow region at the present flight Mach number of the aircraft induces a separation of the boundary layer of the flow from the wing half.

  • Publication number: 20220266981
    Abstract: In a method of expanding a flight envelope of an aircraft comprising a pair of wing halves and extendable leading-edge flaps at leading wing edges of the wing halves towards higher transonic flight Mach numbers, at least one of the leading-edge flaps at one of the two wing halves is extended in flight direction, when approaching the flight envelope with increasing flight Mach number of the aircraft.

  • Publication number: 20150115612
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rotor for a dynamo-electric machine having: a rotor body which rotates about a rotation axis which runs in the direction of gravity, winding elements which are arranged in slots which run axially in the rotor body, two winding heads which are arranged above and below the rotor body in the axial direction, wherein the winding elements emerge from the slots in the axial direction in the region of the winding heads and are connected to further winding elements, a winding head carrier for each of the winding heads, which winding head carrier is arranged radially within the winding head and coaxially to the rotation axis, and which winding head carrier is fixed at least indirectly on the rotor body, or on a component which revolves with said rotor body, in a rotationally fixed manner and such that it can move in the direction of the rotation axis.

  • Patent number: 8922088
    Abstract: Provided is a rotor for a dynamoelectric machine. The rotor includes winding elements arranged in axially extending grooves of a rotor body, a winding head arranged axially adjacent to the rotor body, and a winding head carrier, connected to the winding head by means of tension bolts, all arranged in such a way that reliable securing of the winding head against radial expansion due to centrifugal forces is ensured, while resulting in a compact and cost-effective configuration as well as sufficient cooling.

  • Publication number: 20130187493
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rotor for a dynamoelectric machine, having the following features: winding elements which are arranged in axially extending grooves of a rotor body; a winding head which is arranged axially adjacent to the rotor body, wherein in the region of the winding head the winding elements exit the grooves in the axial direction, then extend at an angle to the axial direction, and then extend in the axial direction again in the vicinity of the axial ends of said winding elements, and are connected with further winding elements; a winding head carrier which is radially arranged within the winding head; the winding head is connected with the winding head carrier by means of tension bolts which engage at the radially outer ends thereof on support bodies, which in turn lie on the winding elements in the region of the winding head; the tension bolts penetrate the winding head in the radial direction in the axially extending areas or the areas of the bending of the winding elements from the axia
