  • Publication number: 20210086854
    Abstract: An assembly device (29) for inserting a stator (4) of an electric machine (3) into a bell-shaped transmission housing (1) includes an inner guide element (38), which is guidable, in form-locking manner, relative to a rotor hub (9a) or a transmission input shaft (6) accommodating the rotor hub (9a), and an outer guide element (37), which is guidable in form-locking manner at the transmission housing (1). The guide elements (37 and 38) are radially spaced apart and fixed to each other with at least one radially extending connecting element (39). At least one sliding member (30) is longitudinally displaceably guided in the connecting element (39) and includes a first, radially outer sliding member part (31) for form-locking engagement at an outer circumference of the stator (4) and a second, radially inner sliding member part (32) for engagement at an end face of the stator (4).

  • Patent number: 9318929
    Abstract: An electric machine has a stator which carries a polyphase coil winding, wherein coil ends are connected in a predetermined manner to a plurality of electric connection conductors. The electric machine comprises a power connection unit having a plurality of terminal conductors which are constructed separate from the connection conductors and which by a first end portion are bondingly connected or connectable to the connection conductors and by a second end portion are connected or connectable to the electrical energy source. The power connection unit is constructed as a plastic composite element, in which the terminal conductors are embedded at least over a portion of their length in a plastic shell so as to be spaced apart from one another, and wherein first end portions of the terminal conductors project out of the plastic shell.

  • Patent number: 8183728
    Abstract: A stator for an electric machine includes an annular stator yoke at which a plurality of radially projecting stator teeth carrying coils with coil terminals is circumferentially arranged. Annular connection conductors are arranged concentrically at a carrier member adjacent to the coils so as to be electrically insulated relative to one another and are connected to the coil terminals in a predetermined manner in the connection area of the carrier member. The coil terminals emerge axially from the coils and apertures corresponding to the coil terminals are formed in a wall area of the carrier member. The coil terminals extend axially through these apertures into the connection area of the carrier member, wherein the wall area of the carrier member radially overlaps an exit area where the coil terminals emerge from the coils.
