Abstract

A rotor ( 2 ) of an electrical machine ( 60 ) has a laminated rotor core ( 4 ). A fan ( 18 ), which is arranged at the end face in the laminated rotor core ( 4 ) is provided for cooling purposes. The fan has a fan blade ( 21 ) and a supporting element ( 20 ) for the fan blade ( 21 ), wherein the fan blade ( 21 ) extends by way of a first section ( 31 ) beyond the supporting element ( 20 ) in a first axial direction and extends by way of a second section ( 33 ) beyond the supporting element ( 20 ) in a second axial direction ( 34 ) which is opposite the first axial direction ( 32 ).

Claims (16)

1. A rotor of an electrical machine, said rotor comprising:

a laminated rotor core; and

a fan arranged at an end face of the laminated rotor core, said fan having a fan blade and a supporting element for support of the fan blade, said fan blade having a first section sized to extend beyond the supporting element in a first axial direction and a second section sized to extend beyond the supporting element in a second axial direction which is opposite the first axial direction,

wherein the supporting element is joined to the fan blade by a welded connection or bonded connection, and

wherein the center of mass of the fan blade is located in a central area of the bonded connection or welded connection, with the bonded connection or welded connection having a radial orientation.

2. The rotor of claim 1 , wherein the first section has a first mass and the second section has a second mass, said first and second masses establishing a center of mass of the fan blade which center of mass is located in an area of the supporting element.

3. The rotor of claim 1 , wherein the supporting element is an annular disk.

4. The rotor of claim 1 , wherein the fan blades are designed as sheet metal parts and attached to the supporting element.

5. The rotor of claim 1 , wherein the second section has a thickness which is smaller than a thickness of the first section.

6. An electrical machine, comprising:

a stator;

a rotor interacting with the stator and including a laminated rotor core, and

a fan arranged at an end face of the laminated rotor core, said fan having a fan blade and a supporting element for support of the fan blade, said fan blade having a first section sized to extend beyond the supporting element in a first axial direction and a second section sized to extend beyond the supporting element in a second axial direction which is opposite the first axial direction,

wherein the electrical machine is a traction motor of a vehicle,

wherein the supporting element is joined to the fan blade by a welded connection or bonded connection, and

wherein the center of mass of the fan blade is located in a central area of the bonded connection or welded connection, with the bonded connection or welded connection having a radial orientation.
