Electric machine
View Patent ↗An electric machine having a rotor and a stator that encloses the rotor, and having a first flange arrangement on at least one end face of the stator, wherein the first flange arrangement has a first flange component that has a connecting surface which adjoins the first end face of the stator and whose geometry is adapted to the geometry of the end face of the stator so that a stator winding, which is wound onto the stator and the adjoining connecting surface, connects the stator and the first flange component to one another.
1. An electric machine comprising:
a rotor and a stator that encloses and houses the rotor;
slot insulation applied to the stator;
a first flange arrangement on at least one first end face of the stator, and
a second flange arrangement provided on a second end face of the stator lying opposite the first end face, the slot insulation having a means of centering the rotor and the second flange arrangement with respect to the stator on the second end face of the stator,
wherein the first flange arrangement has a cup-shaped first flange component that has a connecting surface forming the bottom of the cup and which adjoins the first end face of the stator, the connecting surface lying between the slot insulation and the end face of the stator and the connecting surface aligning with the end face of the stator, so that a stator winding fixedly connects the stator and the first flange component to one another over the cupped bottom, said stator winding being wound onto the stator and the adjoining connecting surface.
2. An electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein the first flange arrangement has a second flange component that is formed as a cover for the first flange component and is connected to the first flange component.
3. An electric machine according to claim 2 , wherein the first and the second flange component are caulked together.
4. An electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein the slot insulation has a means of centering a printed circuit board disposed on the end face of the stator.
5. An electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein identical or varying flange arrangements are disposed at both end faces of the stator.
6. An electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein the slot insulation has means of centering a bearing support for a rotor bearing.
7. An electric machine according to claim 6 , wherein the second flange arrangement has a bearing seat for a rotor bearing.
8. An electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein the slot insulation has a circumferential surface against which the second flange arrangement comes to lie.
9. An electric machine according to claim 8 , wherein the second flange arrangement encompasses the slot insulation in the region of its circumferential surface.
10. An electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein the slot insulation has pins for its attachment to the second flange arrangement.
11. An electric machine according to claim 10 , wherein the pins are formed for making a connection using hot caulking.
12. An electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein the second flange arrangement has a cup-shaped flange component that encompasses the slot insulation and is in contact with the stator.
13. An electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein the outside circumference of the flange arrangements are aligned substantially flush with the outside circumference of the stator.
14. An electric machine according to claim 13 , wherein the stator has a back yoke ring, stator slots and stator poles, which receive the stator winding, the stator winding formed on the inside circumference of the back yoke ring, wherein the flange arrangements, together with the back yoke ring, form the housing of the electric machine.
15. An electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein the slot insulation has a first and a second insulation member that are inserted into the stator slots from opposite end faces of the stator.
16. An electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein the slot insulation has a first and a second insulation member that are inserted into the stator slots from opposite end faces of the stator.
17. An electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein the stator is built from a plurality of stator laminations that are joined to form a lamination stack, and wherein protrusions are formed at the outside circumference of the individual stator laminations, the stator laminations being disposed at an angular offset to one another in order to make the outside surface of the stator larger than a perfectly cylindrical outside surface.
18. An electric machine comprising:
a rotor and a substantially annular stator having opposing end faces, the stator housing the rotor;
slot insulation applied to the stator; and
two flange arrangements, each disposed at opposing end faces of the stator,
wherein the slot insulation centers the rotor and at least one flange arrangement with respect to an inside circumference of the stator.
19. An electric machine comprising:
a rotor and a substantially annular stator having opposing end faces, the stator housing the rotor;
slot insulation applied to the stator; and
two flange arrangements, each disposed at opposing end faces of the stator and including a bearing seat for a rotor bearing,
wherein the slot insulation centers a bearing support for the rotor bearings to thereby center the rotor with respect to the stator.
