Abstract

A method for producing a cage rotor for an asynchronous machine is provided. The method includes providing a rotor body having a conductor bar segment in which conductor bars are provided, producing conductor bar slots in the conductor bar segment, wherein one conductor bar slot is provided for each of the conductor bars and producing short circuit ring recesses for short circuit rings, wherein the conductor bar slots each open into the short circuit ring recesses, pressure die casting cage material in the conductor bar slots, in situ, so that the conductor bars are formed of the conductor bar material in the conductor bar slots and the short circuit rings are formed in the short circuit ring recesses, and generating an area in the conductor bar material and the rotor body material including a metallurgical bond between the conductor bar material and the rotor body material at interfaces between the conductor bars and the rotor body.

Claims (10)

1. A method for producing a cage rotor for an asynchronous machine, comprising:

providing a rotor body having a conductor bar segment, in which a plurality of conductor bars are provided;

producing a plurality of conductor bar slots in the conductor bar segment, wherein one of the conductor bar slots is provided for each of the conductor bars;

producing a plurality of short-circuiting ring recesses for a plurality of short-circuiting rings, wherein the conductor bar slots respectively open out into the short-circuiting ring recesses;

diecasting cage material into the conductor bar slots in situ, so that the conductor bars are formed in the conductor bar slots by the conductor bar material and the short-circuiting rings are formed in the short-circuiting ring recesses; and

creating in the conductor bar material and the rotor body material a region that has a metallurgical bond between the conductor bar material and the rotor body material at interfaces between the conductor bars and the rotor body,

wherein the region with the metallurgical bond is a diffusion region, in which the cage material and the rotor body material diffuse into one another, and, for the interdiffusion of the conductor bar material and the rotor body material, an adhesion-promoting layer is respectively provided in the conductor bar slots before the diecasting, being chosen such that the interdiffusion of the conductor bar material and the rotor body material is brought about by the diecasting, whereby the metallurgical bond is formed such that, at the interfaces, the conductor bars are retained in the conductor bar slots during the operation of the cage rotor and the short-circuiting rings are retained in the short-circuiting ring recesses.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the adhesion-promoting layer is chosen such that the interdiffusion of the cage material and the rotor body material is intensified by hot-isostatic pressing.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the conductor bars and the short-circuiting rings comprise copper and the adhesion-promoting layer comprises nickel.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the conductor bars and the short-circuiting rings comprise aluminum and the adhesion-promoting layer comprises zinc.
