Rotor for an electrical machine, electrical machine for driving a vehicle, and vehicle
Rotor for an electrical machine has a rotor core with a plurality of radially outwardly extending rotor legs, a number of exciter windings corresponding to the number of rotor legs, each wound around one of the rotor legs, and a separating device, having a number of separating portions corresponding to the number of rotor legs, which are arranged between a respective pair of adjacent exciter windings and extend axially between two opposing end faces of the rotor, a first annular connecting portion which connects together the separating portions at one of the end faces, and a second annular connecting portion which connects together the separating portions at the other of the end faces. The separating device is formed by a first part and by a second part which are joined together by means of a form-fit and/or force-fit connection, wherein the first part comprises at least the first connecting portion and at least partially the separating portions, and the second part comprises at least the second connecting portion.
1. A rotor for an electrical machine, comprising:
a rotor core with a plurality of radially outwardly extending rotor legs;
a number of exciter windings corresponding to the number of rotor legs, each wound around one of the rotor legs; and
a separating device, having:
a number of separating portions corresponding to the number of rotor legs, which are arranged between a respective pair of adjacent exciter windings and extend axially between two opposing end faces of the rotor,
a first annular connecting portion which connects together the separating portions at one of the end faces, and
a second annular connecting portion which connects together the separating portions at the other of the end faces,
wherein the separating device is formed by a first part and by a second part which are joined together by means of a form-fit and/or force-fit connection, wherein the first part comprises at least the first connecting portion and at least partially the separating portions, and the second part comprises at least the second connecting portion,
wherein a respective separating portion is divided in an axial direction into a first partial separating portion and a second partial separating portion, wherein the first part of the separating device comprises the first partial separating portion of the respective separating portion, and the second part of the separating device comprises the second partial separating portion of the respective separating portion,
wherein each of the first and second partial separating portions comprises a frontal first end and a second end axially opposite the first end, and the connection between the first part of the separating device and the second part of the separating device is formed by the second ends of the partial separating portions of the respective separating portion,
wherein the second end of one of the partial separating portions of the respective separating portion is on the radial outside of an axial first protrusion, and the second end of the other of the partial separating portions of the respective separating portion is on the radial inside of an axial second protrusion, and
wherein the first protrusion has a radially inwardly pointing first extension, and the second protrusion has a radially outwardly pointing second extension which engages in the first extension.
2. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the second ends of the partial separating portions of the respective separating portion engage in one another.
3. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the first extension is axially wider than the second extension.
4. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the first partial separating portion and the second partial separating portion of the respective separating portion each extend over 45 percent of an axial extent of the exciter windings.
5. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the connection is implemented by a hook structure.
6. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the first part of the separating device is made of one piece and/or of identical material, and/or the second part of the separating device is made of one piece and/or of identical material.
7. The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein viewed from the end faces, the separating portions have a wedge-shaped base surface.
8. The rotor according to claim 1 , further comprising: two terminating devices which are each arranged at a respective one of the end faces of the rotor core and each comprise terminating elements which extend between the rotor leg and the exciter winding.
9. The rotor according to claim 8 , wherein the connecting portions of the separating device rest radially outwardly on the terminating devices on a shoulder formed in a circumferential direction of a respective terminating element.
10. An electrical machine for driving a vehicle, comprising a stator; and a rotor according to claim 1 , which is rotatably mounted inside the stator.
11. A vehicle comprising: an electrical machine according to claim 10 , wherein the electrical machine is configured to drive the vehicle.
