  • Publication number: 20150076952
    Abstract: A stator system for an electric motor has multiple coil formers and stator windings that are wound on the coil formers. The stator windings are distributed over the circumference of the stator system and are arranged to form a substantially circular stator star. A number of the stator windings are electrically insulated in the axial direction in each case by way of a phase separator. The stator windings in each case of two coil formers are electrically connected as a coil pair in an electrically conductive manner by a conductor track. The conductor track is retained by a separating web that is arranged in the axial direction above the allocated phase separator and that extends in a radial direction.

    Abstract: A stator core with a plurality of slots circumferentially arranged therearound has a stator winding including three (UVW) phase windings, each phase winding having 4n parallel windings. The stator winding is formed of U-shaped conductor segments inserted in the slots from one axial end, a pair of open end portions of each conductor segment extending axially from of the stator core and being bent toward circumferentially opposite directions, the bent portions being star connected together. The plurality of slots have, for each phase winding, pairs of circumferentially adjacent slots, each slot having an even number of slot-received portions of the phase winding radially aligned in a column, and for each circumferential slot pairs, the slot-received portion in an m-th layer of each slot of the pair is electrically connected to the portion inserted in an (m+1)-th layer of a slot of a circumferentially adjacent slot.

The core includes a plurality of arcuately spaced apart teeth. Each of the teeth includes a generally radial leg and a head projecting from the leg to present a pair of arcuately spaced apart head ends. A slot opening is defined between the opposed head ends of each adjacent pair of teeth. Each of the wedges is received within a corresponding slot opening. Each wedge-retaining structure is at least in part fixed relative to the core and cooperates with a respective one of the wedges to compressibly retain the respective wedge between the head ends.

    Abstract: Method for harvesting energy using an EAP based deformable body. The EAP based deformable body is an elastically deformable body including an arrangement of stretchable synthetic material and electrodes being arranged as a variable capacitor with a capacitance that varies as the deformable body stretches and relaxes. The method includes: looping through an energy harvesting cycle with a) stretching the deformable body from a minimal relaxed size L1 to a maximal stretched size L2; b) at the maximal stretched size electrically charging of the variable capacitor to create an electric field over the capacitor with an upper electric field level value; and subsequently c) a relaxation step from maximal stretched size to the minimal relaxed size; d) at the minimal relaxed size of the deformable body, electrically discharging the capacitor to a minimal charge level and a minimal electric field level value.
