Patent number: 8981613Abstract: The electric rotating machine includes a stator winding constituted of conductor segments each having a pair of in-slot portions and a coil end section projecting from both axial ends of a stator core. The coil end section includes a joint-side end portion having a skew portion intersecting with another one of the conductor segments at an axial end of the stator core. The skew portion is formed with a joint end portion at an extremity thereof, the joint end portion being formed with a conductor exposed portion where an inner conductor is exposed and joined to a conductor exposed portion of another conductor segment. A joint area between the joint end portions and a vicinity thereof are covered by an insulating resin member. The insulating resin member is thicker at a portion covering the conductor exposed portions than at a portion covering other than the conductor exposed portions.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2012Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignee: Denso CorporationInventors: Hiroyuki Ikuta, Masato Yamaji

Publication number: 20150069861Abstract: An electric machine includes a stator, a rotor interacting magnetically with the stator, a housing surrounding the stator and rotor, and a hollow shaft provided for arrangement of the rotor and mounted on the housing. A radial fan is mounted rotationally fixed on the hollow shaft on the ventilation side. A section of a fan blade of the radial fan extends axially away from the housing to a greater extent than the hollow shaft. A guide element with radially extending plate is arranged in the hollow shaft, wherein the plate is arranged axially further away from the housing than the end side of the hollow shaft on the ventilation side. An inner coolant flow can thus be delivered from the section of the fan blade out of the hollow shaft through a passage between the end side of the hollow shaft on the ventilation side and the plate radially outwards.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2012Publication date: March 12, 2015Applicant: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Klaus Büttner, Klaus Kirchner, Michael Müller
