Abstract

A stator for an electric machine having a plurality of pins, which are arranged on concentric circles at different distances from a stator center point in slots in the stator, and each concentric circle forms a layer, where four pins in different layers are connected to one another in series and form a winding. A first pin of the winding is located in a first slot in the 4n-3 layer, wherein n is a natural number, a second pin of the winding is located in a second slot in the 4n-2 layer, wherein the second slot is at a first radial distance from the first slot in a first circumferential direction of the stator, a third pin of the winding is located in the first slot in the 4n layer, and a fourth pin of the winding is located in the second slot in the 4n-3 layer.

Claims (36)

1. A stator for an electric machine, comprising:

a multiplicity of pins, which are arranged on concentric circles at different distances from a stator center point in slots in the stator, and each concentric circle forms a layer,

wherein four pins in different layers are connected to one another in series and form a winding,

wherein a first pin of the four pins of the winding is located in a first slot in a 4n-3 layer, wherein n is a natural number;

wherein a second pin of the four pins of the winding is located in a second slot in a 4n-2 layer, wherein the second slot is at a first radial distance from the first slot in a first circumferential direction of the stator;

wherein a third pin of the four pins of the winding is located in the first slot in a 4n layer;

wherein a fourth pin of the four pins of the winding is located in the second slot in a 4n-1 layer;

wherein the stator has a first end face and a second end face,

wherein the first pin and the second pin are connected to one another on the second end face by a first type of connection,

wherein the second pin and the third pin are connected to one another on the first end face by a second type of connection,

wherein the third pin and the fourth pin are connected to one another on the second end face by a third type of connection, and

wherein the first type of connection, the second type of connection, and the third type of connection differ from one another.

2. The stator according to claim 1 , wherein the stator has at least two windings and at least the fourth pin in the second slot is connected to a fifth pin in the 4n-3 layer in a third slot by means of a fourth type of connection.

3. The stator according to claim 2 , wherein the fourth type of connection comprises a second double pin, which is formed from the fourth pin and the fifth pin, wherein the second double pin has two outwardly bent pin feet with a respective weld point and bridges the first radial distance.

4. The stator according to claim 2 , wherein the stator has a multiplicity of windings, which extend over an entire circumference of the stator and thereby form a part-coil.

5. The stator according to claim 4 , wherein respective pins of two part-coils are connected to one another by means of a fifth type of connection.

6. The stator according to claim 5 , wherein the fifth type of connection comprises a third double pin, which is formed from two first end pins, wherein the third double pin has two pin feet, which are bent in a same direction and have a respective weld point, and bridges a second radial distance.

7. The stator according to claim 5 , wherein at least two part-coils form a coil.

8. The stator according to claim 7 , wherein the at least two part-coils form six coils and six phases are assigned to them in such a way that two coils, which are assigned to different phases, are respectively located in adjacent slots.

9. The stator according to claim 7 , wherein respective pin inputs of two coils are connected to one another by means of a sixth type of connection.

10. The stator according to claim 9 , wherein respective pin outputs of the two coils are connected to one another such that the two coils are connected in parallel and assigned to one phase.

11. The stator according to claim 1 , wherein the second type of connection comprises a first double pin, which is formed from the second pin and the third pin, wherein the first double pin has two inwardly bent pin feet with a respective weld point and bridges the first radial distance.

12. The stator according to claim 1 , wherein a single pin comprises a second end pin and a pin foot which is bent clockwise.

13. The stator according to claim 1 , wherein the first type of connection is formed by a welded connection between a first weld point at a pin foot of a second double pin or of a first single pin and a second weld point at the pin foot of a first double pin or of a third double pin.

14. The stator according to claim 1 , wherein the third type of connection is formed by a welded connection between a third weld point at a pin foot of a first double pin or of a second single pin and a fourth weld point at the pin foot of a second double pin or of a third double pin.

15. A vehicle having the electric machine with the stator as claimed in claim 1 .

16. A stator for an electric machine, comprising:

a multiplicity of pins, which are arranged on concentric circles at different distances from a stator center point in slots in the stator, and each concentric circle forms a layer,

wherein four pins in different layers are connected to one another in series and form a winding,

wherein a first pin of the four pins of the winding is located in a first slot in a 4n-3 layer,

wherein n is a natural number;

wherein a second pin of the four pins of the winding is located in a second slot in a 4n-2 layer,

wherein the second slot is at a first radial distance from the first slot in a first circumferential direction of the stator;

wherein a third pin of the four pins of the winding is located in the first slot in a 4n layer;

wherein a fourth pin of the four pins of the winding is located in the second slot in a 4n-1 layer; and

wherein the stator has at least two windings and at least the fourth pin in the second slot is connected to a fifth pin in the 4n-3 layer in a third slot by means of a fourth type of connection.
