Abstract

A rotor for a rotating electric machine includes a rotor winding arranged for conjoint rotation on a rotor shaft, and a slip ring body arranged on an axial end of the rotor shaft and having an end face on an axial end of the slip ring body opposite to the rotor winding. The slip ring body includes connection adapters which project axially beyond the end face of the slip ring body for connection of line ends of the rotor winding. A driver unit for a rotary encoder is fastened to the end face of the slip ring body and/or to the axial end of the rotor shaft and electrically insulated from the connection adapters. A centrifugal force support ring is arranged on the end face of the slip ring body such that the connection adapters and the driver unit are arranged in a through-opening of the centrifugal force support ring.

Claims (23)

1. A rotor for a rotating electric machine, said rotor comprising:

a rotor shaft;

a rotor winding arranged for conjoint rotation on the rotor shaft;

a slip ring body arranged on an axial end of the rotor shaft and having an end face which is formed on an axial end of the slip ring body in opposition to the rotor winding, said slip ring body including connection adapters which project axially beyond the end face of the slip ring body for connection of line ends of the rotor winding;

a driver unit for a rotary encoder which is arranged non-rotatably in relation to the rotor, said driver unit being fastened to the end face of the slip ring body and/or to the axial end of the rotor shaft and electrically insulated from the connection adapters at least in a partial region which is arranged at a same level as the connection adapters in a direction of an axis of rotation of the rotor shaft; and

a centrifugal force support ring having a through-opening and arranged on the end face of the slip ring body in such a way that the connection adapters and the driver unit are arranged at least in part in the through-opening of the centrifugal force support ring.

2. The rotor of claim 1 , wherein the driver unit at least in part comprises an electrically insulating material.

3. The rotor of claim 2 , wherein the electrically insulating material at least in part forms a coating of the driver unit.

4. The rotor of claim 1 , wherein the driver unit includes a retaining plate with a driver pin for connection to the rotary encoder, and at least one fastening bolt for fastening the driver unit to the end face of the slip ring body and/or to the axial end of the rotor shaft, wherein the retaining plate and the at least one fastening bolt are electrically insulated.

5. The rotor of claim 4 , wherein the retaining plate and/or the at least one fastening bolt are formed from an electrically insulating material.

6. The rotor of claim 4 , wherein the retaining plate and/or the at least one fastening bolt are coated with an electrically insulating material.

7. The rotor of claim 1 , wherein the connection adapters include an electrical insulation.

8. The rotor of claim 7 , wherein the electrical insulation is formed at least in part by a sleeve made of an electrically insulating material.

9. A rotating electric machine, comprising:

a stator; and

a rotor arranged rotatably mounted in an opening of the stator, said rotor comprising a rotor shaft, a rotor winding arranged for conjoint rotation on the rotor shaft, a slip ring body arranged on an axial end of the rotor shaft and having an end face which is formed on an axial end of the slip ring body in opposition to the rotor winding, said slip ring body including connection adapters which project axially beyond the end face of the slip ring body for connection of line ends of the rotor winding, a driver unit for a rotary encoder which is arranged non-rotatably in relation to the rotor, said driver unit being fastened to the end face of the slip ring body and/or to the axial end of the rotor shaft and electrically insulated from the connection adapters at least in a partial region which is arranged at a same level as the connection adapters in a direction of an axis of rotation of the rotor shaft, and a centrifugal force support ring having a through-opening and arranged on the end face of the slip ring body in such a way that the connection adapters and the driver unit are arranged at least in part in the through-opening of the centrifugal force support ring.

10. The rotating electric machine of claim 9 , wherein the driver unit at least in part comprises an electrically insulating material.

11. The rotating electric machine of claim 10 , wherein the electrically insulating material at least in part forms a coating of the driver unit.

12. The rotating electric machine of claim 9 , wherein the driver unit includes a retaining plate with a driver pin for connection to the rotary encoder, and at least one fastening bolt for fastening of the driver unit to the end face of the slip ring body and/or to the axial end of the rotor shaft, wherein the retaining plate and the at least one fastening bolt are electrically insulated.

13. The rotating electric machine of claim 12 , wherein the retaining plate and/or the at least one fastening bolt are formed from an electrically insulating material.

14. The rotating electric machine of claim 12 , wherein the retaining plate and/or the at least one fastening bolt are coated with an electrically insulating material.

15. The rotating electric machine of claim 9 , wherein the connection adapters include an electrical insulation.

16. The rotating electric machine of claim 15 , wherein the electrical insulation is formed at least in part by a sleeve made of an electrically insulating material.
