  • Publication number: 20240186858
    Abstract: An additively manufactured air gap winding for an electrical machine is provided. The air-gap winding includes a hollow cylindrical main portion having a geometric axis, the main portion defining an active winding length of the winding, and electrical winding conductors of the winding extending in the main portion from a first axial end of the winding to a second axial end. The air gap winding further comprises a first winding head at the first axial end and a second winding head at the second axial end, wherein winding head connections of the winding conductors extend in the winding heads. The winding heads project radially inwardly and/or outwardly beyond the hollow cylindrical main section. The winding head connections extend at least in sections at different distances from the axis in such a way that one winding head connection at least partially radially surrounds the other winding head connection.

  • Patent number: 11749638
    Abstract: A method for contacting and packaging a semiconductor chip of a power electronic component. The power electronic component has a first contact face produced in a first step via a multi-material printing process and a semiconductor chip, which is placed in a second step onto the first contact face. A ceramic insulation layer, which surrounds the semiconductor chip along its circumference and extends over the first contact face not covered by the semiconductor chip, is printed in a third step onto the first contact face. A second contact face is printed in a fourth step onto the ceramic insulation layer and the semiconductor chip. In a fifth step, the power electronic component is sintered by means of heat treatment.
