The present invention relates to a cover cap for a connection of two electrically conductive interconnected ends of two winding bars of a stator of an electric machine. The cover cap includes an electrically insulating housing that surrounds and seals a circumference of the connection when mounted. The cover cap has a spring device disposed in an interior of the housing and configured to be clipped onto the connection so as to mount the housing and is supported on the connection on said housing when the housing is mounted so as to provide a force for fixing the housing to the connection.
1. A cover cap arrangement comprising:
an assembly having two winding bar ends of an electrical machine stator, the two ends being electrically conductively connected to each other;
an electrically insulating housing pluggable onto the assembly in an installed state so as to circumferentially sheath at least one of the two winding bar ends; and
a spring device including at least two springs disposed in an interior of the housing wherein, in the installed state, the springs secure the assembly between the springs, are supported by at least one of the two winding bar ends and by the housing and provide a holding force fixing the housing to the assembly, the holding force having a force component acting orthogonally on at least one of the housing and the assembly.
2. The cover cap arrangement as recited in claim 1 , wherein the spring device includes at least one spring in the form of a wave spring washer.
3. The cover cap arrangement as recited in claim 1 , wherein the spring device includes at least one spring including at least one of a plastic and a fiber-reinforced plastic.
4. The cover cap arrangement as recited in claim 1 , wherein the spring device includes at least one spring provided with a semiconducting coating so as to reduce the corona effect.
5. The cover cap arrangement as recited in claim 1 , further comprising an adhesive bonding the housing to the assembly in the installed state.
6. The cover cap arrangement as recited in claim 1 , wherein the housing includes a plastic and wherein the spring device include at least one spring embedded in the plastic.
7. The cover cap arrangement as recited in claim 1 , wherein the spring device includes at least one spring attached to the housing projecting into the housing interior, the spring being loaded in the installed state and supported on outside of the assembly.
8. The cover cap arrangement as recited in claim 7 , wherein the housing is open at both ends.
9. The cover cap arrangement as recited in claim 1 , wherein the spring device includes at least one spring attached to the housing and projecting into thehousing interior, and wherein, in the installed state, the spring engages behind an undercut formed on the assembly.
10. The cover cap arrangement as recited in claim 9 , wherein the undercut is formed on a lateral web of the assembly, the two ends being connected to each other by the lateral web and otherwise separated from each other.
11. The cover cap arrangement as recited in claim 9 , wherein the housing has a contour projecting inwards and wherein the holding force includes a force component urges a housing contour of the housing a respective assembly contour of the assembly.
12. The cover cap arrangement as recited in claim 11 , wherein the housing contour is formed by a base of the housing that closes an end of the housing and the assembly contour being formed by one end of the assembly.
13. A stator of an electrical machine comprising:
a stator winding including a plurality of winding bars each having ends, at least two of the plurality of winding bars being electrically conductively connected to one another at respective ends so as to an assembly;
a cover cap covering the assembly, wherein the cover cap includes an electrically insulating housing pluggable onto the assembly in an installed state so as to circumferentially sheath the assembly, and a spring device including at least two springs disposed in an interiorof the housing wherein, in the installed state, the springs secure the assembly between the springs, are supported by at least one of the two winding bar ends and by the housing, and provide a holding force fixing the housing to the assembly, the holding force having a force component acting orthogonally on at least one of the housing and the assembly.
14. A cover cap arrangement comprising:
an assembly having two winding bar ends of an electrical machine stator, the two ends being electrically conductively connected to each other;
an electrically insulating housing pluggable onto the assembly in an installed state so as to circumferentially sheath at least one of the two winding bar ends; and
a spring device including at least one spring disposed in an interior of the housing attached to the housing an projecting into the housing interior, wherein, in the installed state, the at least one spring engages behind an undercut formed on the assembly, is supported by at least one of the two winding bar ends and by the housing, and provides a holding force fixing the housing to the assembly, the holding force having a force component acting orthogonally on at least one of the housing and the assembly.
15. The cover cap arrangement as recited in claim 14 , wherein the housing is open at both ends.
16. The cover cap arrangement as recited in claim 14 , wherein the housing has a contour projecting inwards and wherein the holding force includes a force component urges a housing contour of the housing a respective assembly contour of the assembly.
17. The cover cap arrangement as recited in claim 14 , wherein the spring device includes at least one spring in the form of a wave spring washer.
18. The cover cap arrangement as recited in claim 14 , wherein the spring device includes at least one spring including at least one of a plastic and a fiber-reinforced plastic.
19. The cover cap arrangement as recited in claim 14 , wherein the spring device includes at least one spring provided with a semiconducting coating so as to reduce the corona effect.
20. The cover cap arrangement as recited in claim 14 , further comprising an adhesive bonding the housing to the assembly in the installed state.
