Abstract

A method for manufacturing a stator for an electric machine, having the following steps: inserting a cast body with a nozzle from a first side of the stator into the stator, inserting a cast counterbody from a second opposing side of the stator into the stator, casting the stator with thermoplastic, thermosetting plastic, or resin by means of the nozzle, curing the thermoplastic, thermosetting plastic, or resin, wherein following the curing a cast-on piece of the thermoplastic, thermosetting plastic, or resin is sheared off using a rotational movement of the cast body or cast counterbody.

Claims (23)

1. A method for manufacturing a stator for an electric machine comprising

Inserting a cast body with a nozzle from a first side of the stator to be casted into an inside of the stator to be casted

Inserting a cast counterbody from a second opposing side of the stator to be casted into the inside of the stator to be casted to face the cast body,

Casting the stator with thermoplastic, thermosetting plastic, or resin by means-of through the nozzle and a space between the cast body and the cast counterbody, and

Curing the thermoplastic, thermosetting plastic, or resin,

wherein following the curing, a cast-on piece of the thermoplastic, thermosetting plastic, or resin is sheared off using a rotational movement of the cast body or cast counterbody.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein at least the cast body or the cast counterbody has a plurality of teeth and the rotational movement is accomplished using at least one tooth.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the cast body and the cast counterbody meet in the center third of the stator to be casted prior to casting.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the cast-on piece is removed from the stator by the cast body or cast counterbody.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the cast body and the cast counterbody are disposed in a housing with cooling line channels to have a space therebetween for the stator to be casted, the thermoplastic, thermosetting plastic or resin being spread radially outwardly from the space in casting.

6. A device for manufacturing a stator for an electric machine, comprising:

a cast body that is inserted into an inside of the stator to be casted from a first side of the stator to be casted,

a nozzle arranged in the cast body,

a cast counterbody that is inserted into the inside of the stator to be casted from a second, opposing side of the stator to be casted to face the cast body with the nozzle,

a stator retaining device to hold the cast body and the cast counterbody so that the cast body and the case counterbody are disposed inside the stator to be casted, and

a feed channel that is connected to the nozzle to feed thermoplastic, thermosetting plastic, or resin to a space between the cast body and the cast counterbody,

wherein at least the cast body or the cast counterbody is rotatable.

7. The device according to claim 6 , wherein at least the cast body or the cast counterbody has a plurality of teeth.

8. The device according to claim 6 , wherein the cast body and the cast counterbody meet in a center third of the stator to be casted.

9. The device according to claim 6 , wherein at least the cast body or the cast counterbody has at least one temperature control channel.

10. The device according to claim 6 , wherein at least the cast body or the cast counterbody has an ejection device.

11. The device according to claim 6 , further comprising a housing with cooling line channels, the case body and the cast counterbody being disposed inside the housing to form a space therebetween for the stator to be casted.

12. A vehicle comprising an electric motor having the stator manufactured according to claim 1 .
