Abstract

The invention relates to a stator for an electric motor comprising several poles (P) that are directed inwards towards the motor axis ( 2 ) and that surround a rotor ( 1 ), each pole (P) being provided with one winding (L) and the coils of the windings (L) being wound around the poles (P) one after the other without interruption. The stator ( 20 ) contains at least three pole groups (n), having at least three poles (P) and each group having the same number of poles (P). The windings (L) run out from the end face at least at the respective beginning and end of a pole group and are contacted there in such a way that the windings (L) associated with each pole group contain their own connection pair (U-U′, V-V′, W-W′) and one connection (U′, V′, W′) of each of these connection pairs is connected to a star point (Y) on the end face of the stator ( 20 ). The windings (L) are wound around the poles (P) one after the other with an alternating winding direction (WR), a single pole (P) having a winding (L) with the same winding direction as the preceding winding (L) of the preceding pole group (n) at an individual transition point between two pole groups (n).

Claims (7)

1. Stator for an electronically commutated electric motor with a cylindrical stator jacket ( 20 a ) and a multiplicity of poles (P) of ferromagnetic material directed inwardly toward the motor axis ( 2 ), wherein the poles (P) encompass a cylindrical hollow volume for receiving a rotor ( 1 ) and wherein each pole (P) is provided with one winding (L) each with a multiplicity of wire turns for the implementation of a magnetic armature, wherein the turns of the windings (L) are disposed wound successively without interruption about poles (P) and that the stator ( 20 ) comprises at least three pole groups (n), each with the same number of poles (P) and at least 3 poles (P) each, and these are disposed sequentially at the circumference of the stator ( 20 ) distributed circularly, wherein the windings (L) are carried out at the end side at least at each beginning and end of a pole group and here are at least partially cut open and are contacted here such that the associated windings (L) to each pole group, which forms a phase, comprise their own terminal point pair (U-U′, V-V′, W-W′) and that from each of these terminal pairs the one terminal (U′, V′, W′) is connected at the end side on stator ( 20 ) to form a star point (Y), characterized in that the windings (L) at the poles (P) successively are wound with alternating sense of winding (WR), wherein a single pole (P) at a sole transition between two pole groups (n) bears a winding (L) with the same sense of winding as the preceding last winding (L) of the preceding pole group (n), wherein the total number of poles is odd and corresponds to a multiple of the number of phases, and including sensors disposed in the end side region of the other half of the circumference of the stator ( 20 ), facing away from the phase lead-outs (U, V, W) and the star point connection (Y).

2. Stator as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that precisely one of the pole groups has a winding pattern which is counterdirectional to all other pole groups.

3. Stator as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the stator ( 20 ) is implemented as a nine-pole stator with three pole groups (n) and each pole group (n) comprises three poles (P).

4. Stator as claimed in claim 3 characterized in that in the end-side region of the other half of the circle circumference of the stator ( 20 ), facing away from the phase lead-outs (U, V, W) and the star point connection (Y), sensors are disposed.

5. Stator as claimed in claim 3 characterized in that the sensors are magnetic field sensors.

6. Stator as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the terminals (U, V, W) of the terminal pairs of the pole groups (n), which form the phase lead-outs at the end side on the stator ( 20 ), are disposed such that they are located within half of the circle circumference of the stator ( 20 ).

7. Method for the operation of an electric motor with a stator ( 20 ) as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that during operation the windings (L) of the pole groups (n) are activated with an alternating electric current such that a revolving, rotating magnetic field is formed on rotor ( 1 ) in the cylindrical hollow volume encompassed by the stator ( 20 ).
