Stator of a coolant drive, electric motor, refrigerant drive and method of producing a stator
A stator contains a stator assembly having a number of stator teeth, which are provided with coils of a multi-phase stator winding, and a contact device for interconnecting axially orientated coil ends of the coils with a number of phase connections. The contact device has an interconnection ring fitted on the stator assembly on the end side and has integrated bus bars for interconnecting the coils with the phase connections. The contact device has a ring cover fitted on the interconnection ring. The interconnection ring has a number of axial through-openings corresponding to the number of coils ends, through which the coils ends are guided. The bus bars have contact tabs at the ends of the bar, which are arranged in a region of the through-openings, and on which a respective coil end is contacted. The ring cover covers the coil ends and contact tabs.
1. A stator of an electric motor, the stator comprising:
a stator stack having a plurality of stator teeth and coils disposed on said stator teeth defining a multiphase stator winding;
a plurality of phase connectors;
a contact apparatus for interconnecting axially directed coil ends of said coils with said plurality of phase connectors, said contact apparatus having an interconnection ring placed onto said stator stack on an end side and integrated busbars for interconnecting said coils with said plurality of phase connectors, said contact apparatus further having a ring cover disposed onto said interconnection ring and contact tabs, said contact apparatus further defined by:
said interconnection ring having a plurality of axial leadthrough openings formed therein corresponding to a number of said coil ends, and through said axial leadthrough openings said coil ends are led through perpendicularly;
