Patent number: 11462976Abstract: To automate a sub-process during the production of a component, which is to be equipped with coils, of an electric machine, a wire end shaping device is used, which is equipped with coils, of an electric machine, for shaping wire ends which protrude from an annular housing of the component, comprising a bending device for bending wire ends in a circumferential direction, a relative movement device for moving the housing and the bending device in a relative manner in an axial direction, and a controller. The receiving and rotating units, which receive the wire ends, of the bending device are held to be axially static relative to one another, wherein differences in length compensation and/or in a turning angle of the wire ends are handled by means of different movement profiles of the rotational movements of the receiving and rotating units.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2019Date of Patent: October 4, 2022Assignee: Grob-Werke GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Johannes Binder, Ralf Rauscher

Patent number: 11424667Abstract: A method for inserting electrical conductors in slots of a component, wherein, in sections, an insulating film has two legs which are connected by a V-shaped or folded tip region. The legs lie against the slot edges such that damage to the electrical conductors by edges of the slot during the insertion thereof into the slots is avoided. The invention further relates to an associated device, to an associated cutting tool, and to an associated use.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2016Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: GROB-WERKE GMBH & CO. KGInventors: Günter Dreier, Ralf Rauscher, Korbinian Seidel, Veronika Schaller, Martin Otter

Patent number: 11394281Abstract: A method and device for manufacturing winding mats for manufacturing a coil winding of an electric machine. The winding mat is composed of wave winding wires bent as a flat winding in one plane. To be able to manufacture different coil mats with improved electrical characteristics easily and reliably in large series, it is proposed not to interlace or twist the wave winding wires, but to plug them at least partially. In addition, a method and a device for manufacturing a coil mat from several winding mats designed as individual mats are proposed. The device preferably comprises an offsetting device for introducing height offsets into winding heads of the wave winding wires.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2019Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: GROB-WERKE GMBH & CO. KGInventors: Frederik Schmid, Ralf Rauscher
