Abstract

Described is an electrical machine ( 1 ) which comprises two end shields ( 6, 7 ), a stator ( 5 ) which is arranged between the two end shields ( 6, 7 ) and has a stator laminated core ( 11, 11 a ) and stator windings ( 12 ) arranged therein, and a rotor ( 3 ) which is arranged in the stator ( 5 ) and has a rotor shaft ( 2 ) mounted rotatably in the two end shields ( 6, 7 ). The electrical machine ( 1 ) furthermore has cooling channels ( 13 ) arranged fully in the stator laminated core ( 11, 11 a ) and edged by the latter. Furthermore described are a gear motor ( 30 ) comprising such an electrical machine ( 1 ), as well as a vehicle ( 20 ) comprising such an electrical machine ( 1 ).

Claims (18)

1. An electrical machine, comprising:

a first end shield and a second end shield;

a stator which is arranged between the two end shields and has a stator laminated core and stator windings arranged therein;

a rotor which is arranged in the stator and has a rotor shaft mounted rotatably in the two end shields;

cooling channels arranged fully in the stator laminated core and edged by the latter, wherein the cooling channels extend helically around a rotational axis of the rotor shaft; and

wherein lines or channels for a cooling medium arranged in the two end shields are hydraulically connected to the cooling channels in the stator laminated core through a plurality of splitters.

2. The electrical machine according to claim 1 , wherein the cooling channels are open only at end faces of the stator laminated core.

3. The electrical machine according to claim 1 , wherein lines or channels for a cooling medium arranged in the first end shield distribute the cooling medium to the cooling channels in the stator laminated core and the cooling channels of the stator laminated core directly release the cooling medium in a region of the second end shield into a surrounding environment of the electrical machine.

4. The electrical machine according to claim 1 , wherein the two end are connected to the stator by tie rods.

5. A gear motor, comprising:

a transmission; and

an electrical machine according to claim 1 coupled to the transmission,

wherein a cooling and/or lubricating circuit of the transmission is hydraulically connected to the cooling channels of the electrical machine.

6. The gear motor according to claim 5 , wherein the electrical machine is arranged housing-free in a common housing for the electrical machine and the transmission.

7. The gear according to claim 5 , wherein oil is provided as cooling medium and/or lubricant in the cooling and/or lubricating circuit of the transmission.

8. A vehicle with at least two axles, wherein at least one is driven, at least partially or for part of a time by the electrical machine as claimed in claim 1 .

9. The electrical machine according to claim 1 , wherein one of the lines or channels arranged in the first end shield comprises an annular portion, the plurality of splitters, and a plurality of spray nozzles.

10. The electrical machine according to claim 9 , wherein the plurality of splitters open out into the cooling channels of the stator laminated core and the plurality of spray nozzles are directed towards the stator windings.
