  • Patent number: 11689085
    Abstract: A method for mounting a switching unit on a component of an electric motor, including a component of an electric motor. The component may include a plurality of teeth and coil windings, arranged on the teeth and are formed by winding wire portions, the winding wire portions protruding from the coil windings by means of winding wire ends. A switching unit, which has an arrangement of connecting conductors, is arranged on the component of the electric motor. At least some of the winding wire ends are connected to the connecting conductors of the switching unit. In order to connect the winding wire ends to the connecting conductors of the switching unit, a positioning element, operatively connected to the winding wire ends, and the switching unit are moved relative to each other along a movement plane and the winding wire ends are thereby brought into contact with the connecting conductors.

  • Publication number: 20230098997
    Abstract: A stator of an electric motor includes a stator main body which supports coils each having two coil ends of a multiphase stator winding. A contact apparatus is disposed on the end face of the stator main body and has an interconnection housing that receives a number of busbars for interconnecting the coils and a number of phase connections. Each phase of the stator winding is formed by at least one of the coils and at least one of the busbars as well as one of the phase connections. The dimensions of the busbars are set in such a way that the electrical resistance of all of the phases of the stator winding is the same. An electric motor having the stator is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20230088759
    Abstract: A contact apparatus of a stator has an annular interconnection housing which receives a number of busbars for interconnecting coil ends of a stator winding to a number of phase connections. The interconnection housing has an annularly encircling base section and a number of carrier sections that correspond to the number of phase connections. The carrier sections extend axially starting from the base section, wherein the respective phase connection has an axially extending contact section and a connecting section that runs orthogonally to the axially extending contact section. The respective phase connection is inserted into the associated carrier section in such a way that an axial movement of the contact section of the respective phase connection is blocked in the direction of the base section and is permitted in the opposite direction.

  • Publication number: 20230013487
    Abstract: A stator of an electric motor has a number of radially directed stator teeth, onto each of which an insulating coil carrier for a coil of a multiphase rotating field winding is or can be placed. The stator teeth are connected to one another on the outer circumference on a yoke side, forming stator grooves. On the inner circumference, on a pole shoe side, a groove gap is respectively formed between adjacent stator teeth. Stiffening is provided on the inner circumference on the pole shoe side of the stator teeth, in the form of a stiffening element that projects into the or each groove gap.

  • Publication number: 20220190668
    Abstract: A stator contains a stator assembly having a number of stator teeth, which are provided with coils of a multi-phase stator winding, and a contact device for interconnecting axially orientated coil ends of the coils with a number of phase connections. The contact device has an interconnection ring fitted on the stator assembly on the end side and has integrated bus bars for interconnecting the coils with the phase connections. The contact device has a ring cover fitted on the interconnection ring. The interconnection ring has a number of axial through-openings corresponding to the number of coils ends, through which the coils ends are guided. The bus bars have contact tabs at the ends of the bar, which are arranged in a region of the through-openings, and on which a respective coil end is contacted. The ring cover covers the coil ends and contact tabs.
