  • Patent number: 12278527
    Abstract: A conductor bar of a cage rotor of an asynchronous machine has a longitudinal extension and includes first and second sections in the longitudinal extension. The first section has a hardness which is lower than a hardness of the second section and is realized through soft annealing, brief inductive heating or heating by a flame so as to enable a compression of the first section of the conductor bar by way of axial pressure after axially joining the conductor bar in a slot of a magnetically conductive body of the cage rotor, with the first section abutting an inner wall of the slot of magnetically conductive body of the cage rotor.

  • Patent number: 12074484
    Abstract: A component for an electric machine includes a flat region in which an electric line runs when the component is integrated into the electric machine and which includes a sharp-edged structure. A polymer layer adheres to the flat region without further aid such as to mask the sharp-edged structure and thereby protect from damage the electric line on the flat region. The polymer layer is made of cured plastic adhesive and jetted onto the flat region in the form of threads, such that the threads are spin-coated on top of one another in the form of overlapping loops and form a network structure which spans the sharp-edged structure.

  • Publication number: 20240275245
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for pulling a stator winding system of an electric machine into a stator lamination stack of the electric machine and to a winding tool, with the stator lamination stack having stator grooves which run parallel to a rotation axis of the electric machine and are distributed in a circle around the rotation axis and open thereto and which have on an end facing the rotation axis a gap region which is narrowed relative to the rest of the stator groove. Windings are arranged in the stator grooves, and winding overhangs, as seen in the direction of the rotation axis, protrude from the stator lamination stack at the two axial ends thereof, with the windings formed in the stator grooves as laid windings. The stator lamination stack has no guide structures on the two axial ends for guiding the individual turns of the windings.

  • Patent number: 11705765
    Abstract: An electrical machine includes a housing, a stator, and a rotor. The rotor is mounted relative to the stator for rotation about an axis of rotation. The stator radially outwardly surrounds the rotor. The housing is shrunk onto the stator from radially outside. On its radially outer periphery, the stator includes spring dements which are at least partially elastically deflected radially inwards during shrinking of the housing onto the stator such that the projections rest against the housing with a spring force.

  • Publication number: 20230208259
    Abstract: A method for producing a rotor of an asynchronous machine includes providing a rotor lamination stack having grooves extending parallel to a rotor axis of the rotor, inserting conductor rods into the grooves such that the conductor rods protrude from end faces of the rotor lamination stack, wherein a twisting tool is placed at each of the end faces onto the protruding conductor rods and the twisting tools are twisted relative to each other, where the parallel grooves with the corresponding conductor rods also extend obliquely after the twisting and where the twisting tools are formed such that the protruding conductor rods remain parallel to the rotor axis when an oblique profile of the stack is produced, removing the twisting tools, providing first and second short-circuit washers, and axially pressing the short-circuit washers onto the conductor rods projecting perpendicularly from the end face of the rotor lamination stack.

  • Patent number: 11522424
    Abstract: A stator of an electric machine includes a laminated core having slots for receiving windings of a multiphase winding system. The windings have winding ends, which are encased with an insulator across a partial length. In order to encase the winding ends with the insulator, a strand of a thermoplastic material is extruded onto the winding ends via a nozzle. During extrusion, the nozzle is moved relative to the winding end along the longitudinal extent thereof and an oscillating movement of the nozzle transversely to the longitudinal extent of the winding end overlays the movement along the longitudinal extent. As a result the thermoplastic material lies on the winding end and around the respective winding end in the form of loops.

  • Patent number: 10819198
    Abstract: In a method for producing a squirrel-cage rotor for an asynchronous machine, conductor rods made from a first conductive material are inserted in substantially axial grooves of a laminated rotor core in such a manner that the conductor rods protrude from an end face of the laminated rotor core. A short circuit ring disc made from a second conductive material and heated above the recrystallization temperature is axially pressed onto the protruding conductor rods on the end face of the laminated rotor core, taking into account a temperature range, a deformation, and the rate of deformation of the short circuit ring, with a permissible shear stress of the first and second conductive materials being locally exceeded and material transitions being caused by diffusion at an interface between the conductor rods and the short circuit ring, thereby resulting in microwelding. Subsequently or simultaneously the short circuit ring disc is hot shaped.
