Abstract

A stator for an AC motor, includes windings of a first layer, which extend over a first region of the stator and are connectable to a first phase, and windings of a second layer, which extend over a second region of the stator and are connectable to a second phase, wherein the first region is offset relative to the second region and at least one overlap region is formed which is smaller than the individual regions, and wherein a temperature detection unit is arranged in the overlap region and is designed to measure the temperature of the windings in the overlap region.

Claims (31)

1. A stator for an AC motor, comprising:

windings of a first layer, which extend over a first region of the stator and are connectable to a first phase;

windings of a second layer, which extend over a second region of the stator and are connectable to a second phase, the second region being offset relative to the first region to form at least one overlap region; and

a temperature detection unit arranged in the at least one overlap region and including two sensors, one sensor being arranged at an outer diameter of the stator or of a winding head of the stator and another sensor being arranged at an inner diameter of the stator or of the winding head of the stator, to measure temperatures of the windings in the at least one overlap region,

wherein the at least one overlap region is smaller than the first region and the second region.

2. The stator ( 3 ) according to claim 1 , further comprising:

windings of a third layer which lie between the first layer and the second layer extend over a third region of the stator and are connectable to a third phase the third region being offset relative to the first region and the second region to overlap the first region and the second region at the at least one overlap region,

wherein the temperature detection unit is arranged in the at least one overlap region to measure the temperatures of the windings in the at least one overlap region, and

the at least one overlap region is smaller than the first region, the second region, and the third region.

3. The stator according to claim 2 , further comprising:

another windings of the first layer which extend over a fourth region of the stator, other than the first region in the first layer, and are connectable to a fourth phase;

another windings of the second layer which extend over a fifth region of the stator, other than the second region in the second layer, and are connectable to a fifth phase;

another windings of the third layer which extend over a sixth region of the stator, other than the third region in the third layer, and are connectable to a sixth phase;

wherein the windings and the another windings of the first layer, the windings and the another windings of the second layer, and the windings and the another windings of the third layer are overlapped at a plurality of overlap regions, and each of the plurality of overlap regions is smaller than each of the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth regions,

wherein the temperature detection unit is arranged in at least one of the plurality of overlap regions to measure the temperatures of the windings and the another windings in the plurality of overlap regions.

4. The stator according to claim 3 , wherein the windings and the another windings of the first layer and the second layer form extended overlap regions with the windings and the another windings of the third layer

wherein the temperature detection unit is arranged in each of the extended overlap regions to measure the temperatures of the windings in each of the extended overlap regions.

5. The stator according to claim 3 , wherein an extended overlap region is formed in a region adjacent to each of the plurality of overlap regions in which a boundary region of the first region and the fourth region and one of the second region and the fifth region are overlapped, to measure the temperatures of the windings in each of the extended overlap regions.

6. The stator according to claim 5 , wherein an extended overlap region is formed in a region adjacent to each of the plurality of overlap regions in which a boundary region of the second region and the fifth region and one of the first region and the fourth region are overlapped, to measure the temperatures of the windings in each of the extended overlap regions.

7. The stator according to claim 2 , wherein each of the windings of the first layer, the second layer, and the third layer includes one end and another end opposed to the one end in a circumferential direction of the stator, and

the one end of the windings of the third layer is arranged between the another end of the windings of the first layer and the one end of the second layer to form the at the at least one overlap region.

8. An electric motor comprising:

the stator according to claim 1 ,

at least two rectifiers, each of the at least two rectifiers being connected to the windings, which lie in different layers.

9. The electric motor comprising:

a stator according to claim 1 ,

at least two rectifiers each of the at least two rectifiers being connected to the windings in three different layers and a half stator region.

10. The electric motor according to claim 9 , wherein the temperature detection unit detects the temperatures of at least two windings in different stator regions.

11. The electric motor according to claim 10 , wherein the electric motor has at least two temperature detection units and each of the at least two temperature detection units is arranged in an extended overlap region.

12. A vehicle comprising:

a stator according to claim 1 .
