Abstract

A rotor body for a rotor of a rotating electric machine, in particular a turbogenerator, has at least one pole axis extending perpendicularly to a longitudinal center axis of the rotor body. At least one section of the rotor body has at least two layers produced from different materials, which layers are arranged in alternation, wherein the materials differ from each other with respect to the electrical conductivity thereof. A layer sequence direction of a layer structure formed by the layers extends perpendicularly to the pole axis and to the longitudinal center axis.

Claims (17)

1. A rotor body for a rotor of a rotating electrical machine, in particular of a turbogenerator, comprising:

at least one pole axis running perpendicular to a longitudinal center axis of the rotor body, wherein at least one section of the rotor body has at least two layers arranged in an alternating manner and produced from different materials,

wherein the materials differ from one another in terms of their respective electrical conductivity,

wherein a layer sequence direction of a layer structure formed by the layers runs perpendicular to the pole axis and to the longitudinal center axis,

wherein the rotor body is highly magnetically conductive parallel to the pole axis,

wherein the rotor body forms a plurality of axially running reception grooves arranged and distributed over the circumference of a rotor body blank to receive a respective conductor section of a rotor winding of the rotor, and

wherein the reception grooves are formed on the rotor body blank such that the rotor body has a pole axis running perpendicular to a longitudinal center axis of the rotor body and that runs parallel to the layer.

2. The rotor body as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the layer having a higher electrical conductivity is thicker than the layer) having the lower electrical conductivity.

3. A method for producing a rotor body for a rotor of a rotating electrical machine, or a turbogenerator, the method comprising:

producing a multilayer layer structure from at least two layers arranged in an alternating manner and produced from different materials, wherein the materials differ from one another in terms of their respective electrical conductivity;

producing a rotationally symmetrical rotor body blank by machining the layer structure; and

producing the rotor body by forming a plurality of axially running reception grooves arranged in a manner distributed over the circumference on the rotor body blank for receiving in each case one conductor section of a rotor winding of the rotor, wherein the reception grooves are formed on the rotor body blank such that the rotor body has a pole axis running perpendicular to a longitudinal center axis of the rotor body, which pole axis runs parallel to the layers.

4. The method as claimed in claim 3 ,

wherein the multilayer layer structure is produced by a forging process.

5. The method as claimed in claim 4 ,

wherein the multilayer layer structure is produced by fold-forging.
