Squirrel-cage rotor and method for producing a squirrel-cage rotor
A squirrel cage rotor having a shaft, a rotor plate stack with rotor bars arranged in the interior thereof, and cage rings, wherein at least one part of a cage ring includes a disk stack, which is constituted as a layered structure of disks with cut-outs, through which the ends of the rotor bars project out of the rotor plate stack. Adjoining disks in the disk stack are mutually spaced, and form a gap. The clearance between two adjoining disks, resulting from the gap, is constituted by moldings which are arranged on the disks wherein, in the gap, at least in the region of the moldings, a joint connection is provided.
1. A squirrel-cage rotor for an asynchronous machine, comprising a shaft, a rotor plate stack with rotor bars arranged in the interior thereof, and cage rings, wherein at least one part of at least one of the cage rings is comprised of a disk stack, which is constituted as a layered structure of disks with cut-outs, through which the ends of the rotor bars project out of the rotor plate stack, wherein:
adjoining disks in the disk stack are mutually spaced, and form a gap,
the clearance between two adjoining disks, resulting from the gap, is constituted by moldings which are arranged on the disks,
in the gap, at least in the region of the moldings, a joint soldered connection is provided, and
material of the soldered connection also penetrates axially between the cut-outs and the rotor bars.
2. The squirrel-cage rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the moldings are configured as a step-wise design.
3. The squirrel-cage rotor according to claim 1 , wherein indentations are configured on a reverse side of the moldings.
4. The squirrel-cage rotor according to claim 3 , wherein the indentations are configured as a step-wise design.
5. The squirrel-cage rotor according to claim 3 , wherein the moldings on one disk, in part, engage with the indentations in an adjoining disk.
6. The squirrel-cage rotor according to claim 5 , wherein the moldings on one disk engage with the indentations that are undercut in an adjoining disk.
7. The squirrel-cage rotor according to claim 5 , wherein the volume of a respective indentation is only partially occupied by the molding which engages with said indentation, as a result of which solder from the soldered connection fills a residual volume of the indentation which is accessible via the gap.
8. A method for producing a squirrel-cage rotor according to claim 1 , comprising the following sequential steps:
providing a sheet metal blank for each of the disks,
punching cut-outs for the rotor bars and the shaft,
embossing moldings or indentations in each of the disks,
installing the disks in the disk stack of the at least one of the cage rings,
arranging the cage rings on the rotor plate stack, together with the rotor bars and the shaft, and
forming the soldered connection by the introduction of solder into the respective gap configured between adjoining disks, at least in the region of the moldings and also axially between the cut-outs and the rotor bars.
