  • Patent number: 11942844
    Abstract: A tooth-wound coil of a stator or of a stator segment of a dynamo-electric machine having two straight sections spaced apart from each other and running substantially parallel. Two 180° curves are located on the ends thereof, wherein the straight sections have an active part area, the axial extend of which is less than or equal to that of the straight section. The tooth-wound coil has a symmetrical extension plane running in the longitudinal direction. An insulation material is provided around the straight sections of the tooth-wound coil. The material effects groove isolation and/or phase isolation in the stator or stator segment.

  • Patent number: 11901782
    Abstract: A magnetically active unit of an electric machine with at least two poles includes a laminated core with slots, and at least one winding for each of the phases. The windings have an electric conductor which forms coil groups in the slots. The coils of the coil groups are formed with at least two sections of the electric conductors of at least one of the windings and are arranged so as to be electrically insulated from each other in the grooves. At least one first coil group of the coil groups of one of the windings has a first number of coils which deviates from a second number of coils of a second coil group of the coil groups of the same winding.

  • Publication number: 20230231451
    Abstract: In a method for mounting a prefabricated form-wound coil or tooth-wound coil on a layered laminated core to form a stator segment or stator, the form-wound coil or tooth-wound coil is insulated with insulation. Laminates are punched and stacked to form partial laminated cores and/or a laminated core, with the partial laminated cores being spaced apart from one another by spacers and forming substantially axially extending open slots of the laminated core. The form-wound coil or tooth-wound coil are radially inserted into the slots such as to embrace a tooth of the laminated core, and a removable auxiliary element is placed at an axial end face of the laminated core to protect the insulation of the form-wound coil or tooth-wound coil as the form-wound coil or tooth-wound coil is radially inserted into the slots. The auxiliary element is radially removed and repositioned on a further tooth of the laminated core.

  • Patent number: 11223307
    Abstract: A rotary machine includes a rotor rotatable about a rotation axis and a stator mechanically divided into stator segments, each covering a respective section in relation to the rotation axis. Coils of one individual multi-phase rotary system are respectively arranged in the stator segments, each having terminals which connect phase lines of an individual multi-phase rotary system and are connected to the coils. A converter unit includes multiple subunits operated independently of one another, each forming an individual multi-phase rotary system. The number of phases of the subunits corresponds to the number of stator segments. The terminals of the stator segments are each connected to a subunit. The stator segments form groups of directly successive stator segments when viewed about the rotation axis. The terminals of the stator segments are connected to the same sub-unit within each group, but connected to different sub-units from group to group of stator segments.

  • Patent number: 8686607
    Abstract: The rotor of an electrical motor should be designed simply and able to be efficiently cooled. To this end, the invention relates to an electrical motor having a rotor that has at least one radial cooling slot (16) and axially running cooling channels. The first cooling channels (18) run having their central axis at a different radial height opposite the axis of the rotor (11) than the second cooling channels (19). A spacer (29) is arranged in the at least one radial cooling slot (16) by means of which a first cooling stream (28) can be conducted from one of the first cooling channels (18) into one of the second cooling channels (19). A second partial package (T2) in the flow direction can also be supplied with cool air in this way if it flows through the first partial package (T1) in a cool region, such as near the shaft.

  • Patent number: 8648505
    Abstract: An electrical machine with a stator has a winding support, which has at least one radial cooling slot, and a rotor, which likewise has at least one radial cooling slot. The winding support of the stator has on its outer shell a number of axially running cooling ribs, along which an axially running first cooling flow can be directed. Furthermore, the rotor has axially running first cooling ducts, which open out into its at least one radial cooling slot, so that a second cooling flow can be directed in the axial direction along the axial cooling ribs of the stator through the axial first cooling ducts of the rotor, the at least one radial cooling slot of the rotor, the air gap between the rotor and the stator and the at least one radial cooling slot. In this way, the stator can be cooled by two different cooling flows.
