Patent number: 12149136Abstract: A method and arrangement is disclosed herein for making a stator with 3D printed end turns. The stator includes a stator lamination stack with semi-closed slots. Straight I-pin wire segments are housed in the slots of the stator lam stack and form the in-slot segments of a stator winding arrangement. The end turns of the winding arrangement are provided by a conductive material that is 3D printed material at both axial ends of the straight I-pins. The end turns result in a winding arrangement with diamond coils that are inter-locked. The 3D printing of the end turns makes the winding arrangement possible, as the winding arrangement is configured such that it cannot be inserted into the lamination stack in a radial direction (i.e., via any slot openings at the inner diameter or outer diameter).Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2022Date of Patent: November 19, 2024Assignee: BorgWarner Inc.Inventors: Gabriel Domingues, Joshua B.
