Abstract

The invention relates to an electric machine ( 10 ) comprising a stator ( 11 ) which comprises a plurality of slots ( 14 ) and is adjacent to an air gap ( 17 ). The electric machine ( 10 ) further comprises a first material ( 15 ) having a first electrical conductivity, wherein the first material ( 15 ) in each case fills the slots ( 14 ) partially, and a second material ( 16 ) having a second electrical conductivity that is lower than the first electrical conductivity. The second material ( 16 ) exclusively fills an edge region ( 20 ) of the slots ( 14 ) and the edge region ( 20 ) is located in the slots ( 14 ) on the side facing the air gap ( 17 ). The first material ( 15 ) in the slots ( 14 ) is electrically conductively interconnected on a first side of the stator ( 11 ). The invention furthermore provides an electric machine ( 10 ) having a rotor ( 12 ).

Claims (28)

1. An electric machine, comprising:

a stator which comprises a plurality of slots and is adjacent to an air gap,

a first material having a first electrical conductivity, wherein the first material in each case fills the slots partially, but not completely, and

a second material having a second electrical conductivity which is lower than the first electrical conductivity, wherein

the second material exclusively fills an edge region of the slots and the edge region is located in the slots on the side facing the air gap,

the first material in the slots is electrically conductively interconnected on a first side of the stator, and

the first material in the slots being connected to each other via a short-circuit ring on the first side of the stator.

2. The electric machine according to claim 1 , in which the first material in each slot has the shape of a rod, wherein each rod is configured to be supplied with its own electrical phase in each case, by means of a power supply unit, on a second side of the stator.

3. The electric machine according to claim 1 , in which a third material is arranged in the slots such that the first material is electrically insulated from the material of the stator.

4. The electric machine according to claim 1 , in which the second electrical conductivity is at most 10% of the first electrical conductivity.

5. The electric machine according to claim 1 , in which the slots comprise an opening or do not comprise an opening towards the air gap.

6. The electric machine according to claim 1 , in which at least a first slot comprises an opening towards the air gap and at least a second slot does not comprise an opening towards the air gap.

7. The electric machine according to claim 1 , in which the second material is formed by air or the second material is different from air and/or comprises plastics material or stainless steel.

8. The electric machine according to claim 1 , in which the edge region in which the second material is located has an asymmetrical shape with respect to a radial axis of the stator.

9. An electric machine, comprising:

at least one rotor which comprises a plurality of slots and is adjacent to an air gap,

a first material having a first electrical conductivity, wherein the first material in each case fills the slots partially, but not completely,

a second material having a second electrical conductivity which is lower than the first electrical conductivity,

a third material which is arranged in the slots such that the first material is electrically insulated from the material of the rotor, wherein

the second material exclusively fills an edge region of the slots and wherein the edge region is located in the slots on the side facing the air gap,

the first material in the slots is electrically conductively interconnected on a first side of the rotor, and

the second material is different than air.

10. The electric machine according to claim 9 , in which the second electrical conductivity is at most 10% of the first electrical conductivity.

11. The electric machine according to claim 9 , in which the slots comprise an opening or do not comprise an opening towards the air gap.

12. The electric machine according to claim 9 , in which at least a first slot comprises an opening towards the air gap and at least a second slot does not comprise an opening towards the air gap.

13. The electric machine according to claim 9 , in which the second material comprises plastics material or stainless steel.

14. The electric machine according to claim 9 , in which the edge region in which the second material is located has an asymmetrical shape with respect to a radial axis of the rotor.

15. An electric machine according to claim 1 , comprising a rotor according to claim 9 , wherein the rotor is arranged on the side of the air gap facing away from the stator.
