Abstract

A stator plate packet ( 7, 7 a, 7 b ) for a stator ( 5 ) of an electrical machine ( 1 ) is described, which comprises several stator plates ( 6 ) stacked one against the other and with stator grooves ( 13 ) open towards the inside for receiving a stator winding ( 8 ), wherein the stator plates ( 6 ) are welded together by means of a plurality n of external weld seams ( 14 ) or weld seam portions which are evenly distributed over the periphery of the stator plate packet ( 7, 7 a, 7 b ). The weld seams ( 14 ) or weld seam portions each run from a first end face (B) of the stator plate packet ( 7 ) to a second end face (C) of the stator plate packet ( 7 ) and each extend over an angle (α) with respect to the rotational axis (A) of the electrical machine ( 1 ). The angle (α) lies in a range of α≥360°/n−10%. Furthermore, an electrical machine ( 1 ) with such a stator plate packet ( 7, 7 a, 7 b ) or stator ( 4 ), and a vehicle ( 15 ) with such an electrical machine ( 1 ), are described.

Claims (16)

1. A stator plate packet for a stator of an electrical machine, comprising:

several stator plates stacked one against the other and with stator grooves open towards an inside for receiving a stator winding,

wherein the stator plates are welded together by a plurality of external weld seams or weld seam portions which are evenly distributed over a periphery of the stator plate packet, and

wherein each weld seam or weld seam portion runs from a first end face of the stator plate packet to a second end face of the stator plate packet and wherein, with respect to a rotational axis of the electrical machine, each weld seam or weld seam portion extends over an angle which lies in a range of α≥360°/n−10%, wherein n corresponds to a number of external weld seams or weld seam portions comprised by the plurality of external weld seams or weld seam portions, and

wherein the weld seams or weld seam portions run obliquely to the axis of rotation to form a zigzag shape.

2. The stator plate packet according to claim 1 , wherein the number n of weld seams or weld seam portions is uneven and less than a number m of the stator grooves.

3. The stator plate packet according to claim 1 , characterized in that the angle is uneven and larger than a second angle, over which a helical groove extends from the first end face of the stator plate packet to the second end face of the stator plate packet.

4. The stator plate packet according to claim 1 the number n of weld seams or weld seam portions is even, and a half n/2 of the weld seams have a first turn direction and the other half n/2 of the weld seams have a second, opposite turn direction.

5. The stator plate packet according to claim 1 , wherein the weld seams or weld seam portions adjoin one another and the angle α=360°/n, or overlap one another and the angle α>360°/n, or are slightly spaced apart from one another and the angle 360°/n>α>360°/n−10%.

6. An electrical machine comprising:

a stator comprising a stator plate packet with several stator plates with stator grooves which are open towards the inside and which receive a stator winding; and

a rotor mounted so as to be rotatable relative to the stator about the rotational axis of the rotor,

wherein the stator plate packet is configured according to claim 1 .

7. A vehicle with at least two axles, of which at least one is driven, wherein said drive is provided at least partially or for part of the time by the electrical machine according to claim 6 .

8. The stator plate packet according to claim 1 , wherein the weld seams overlap one another.

9. The stator plate packet according to claim 8 , wherein the angle α is greater than or equal to 720°/n±10%.
