Abstract

An electrical machine with a rotor and a stator. The rotor or the stator has at least one coil with a coil core and a coil winding, which surrounds the coil core. The coil winding has at least one turn that is formed from a flat conductor, which is bent a around a plurality of bending axes, which are spaced apart from one another and are parallel, and, as viewed in section, is S-shaped and/or has a meandering shape. The flat conductor has a plurality of layers that are insulated from one another, at least in regions, and/or a plurality of slot-shaped recesses.

Claims (13)

1. An electrical machine, comprising:

a rotor and a stator, wherein the rotor or the stator has at least one coil with a coil core and a coil winding surrounding the coil core, wherein the coil winding has at least one turn that is formed from a flat conductor bent around a plurality of bending axes, wherein the bending axes are spaced apart from one another and are parallel, and wherein the flat conductor, as a viewed in section, is S-shaped and/or has a meandering shape, wherein, for the reduction of eddy currents, the flat conductor has a plurality of layers insulated from one another, at least in regions, and/or a plurality of slot-shaped recesses;

wherein the turn has a first contact branch, which is arranged on a first side of the coil core and has a free edge that protrudes towards the coil core; a second contact branch, which is arranged on a second side of the coil core, lying opposite to the first side, and has a free edge that protrudes towards the coil core; and a connecting branch that connects the first contact branch and the second contact branch.

2. The electrical machine according to claim 1 , wherein the flat conductor is present as a metal sheet or metal band.

3. The electrical machine according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of layers in a first terminal region and in a second terminal region, which is spaced apart from the first terminal region, are electrically connected to one another and, between the first terminal region and the second terminal region, are electrically insulated from one another, at least in regions, continuously.

4. The electrical machine according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of layers are firmly bonded to one another by soldering and/or by adhesive bonding.

5. The electrical machine according to claim 1 , wherein the recesses in the flat conductor are formed as closed-edged.

6. The electrical machine according to claim 1 , wherein the recesses in the flat conductor are formed as depressions, wherein the depressions pass into a surface of the flat conductor, or as through-passage openings which pass through the flat conductor on both sides.

7. The electrical machine according to claim 1 , wherein at least two of the recesses are arranged overlapping in the direction of their longitudinal extension.

8. The electrical machine according to claim 1 , wherein the connecting branch is connected to the first contact branch by way of a first bend of the first contact branch and to the second contact branch by way of a second bend of the second contact branch, wherein the first bend and the second bend, are formed, respectively around one of the bending axes.

9. A method for manufacturing an electrical machine with a rotor and a stator, in particular an electrical machine, comprising:

the rotor or the stator has at least one coil with a coil core and a coil winding, which surrounds the coil core, wherein the coil winding has at least one turn, which is formed from a flat conductor and, as viewed in section, the coil winding is S-shaped and/or has a meandering shape, and, for the reduction of eddy currents, wherein the coil winding has a plurality of layers that are insulated from one another, at least in regions, and/or a plurality of slot-shaped recesses and, for the creation of the turn, the flat conductor is bent around a plurality of bending axes, which are spaced apart from one another and are parallel

wherein the turn has a first contact branch, which is arranged on a first side of the coil core and has a free edge that protrudes towards the coil core; a second contact branch, which is arranged on a second side of the coil core, lying opposite to the first side, and has a free edge that protrudes towards the coil core; and a connecting branch that connects the first contact branch and the second contact branch.
