Sensor fastening device for temperature measurement in an electrical machine of a motor vehicle
A sensor fastening device for temperature measurement in an electrical machine for driving a motor vehicle having a retaining body for receiving a temperature sensor, a support body for resting against a stator lamination of the electrical machine, the support body being connected to the retaining body spreadably, and a spreading element for spreading the retaining body away from the support body. By means of the sensor fastening device, which can be shifted in the radial direction and can be moved past the winding axially, the temperature sensor can be positioned, from the radial outside, on the radially inner edge of the winding and can be thermally coupled by means of the spreading element such that maintenance-friendly and accurate measurement of a maximum temperature in a winding of an electrical machine for a motor vehicle is made possible.
1. A sensor fastening device for temperature measurement in an electrical machine for driving a motor vehicle, the sensor fastening device comprising: a retaining body configured for receiving a temperature sensor, a support body configured for resting against a stator lamination of the electrical machine, wherein the support body is spreadably connected to the retaining body, a spreading element configured for spreading the retaining body away from the support body, wherein the spreading element is designed as a plug-in dowel which can be inserted between the retaining body and the support body, and wherein the plug-in dowel has barbs which can be spread away by screwing in a dowel screw.
2. The sensor fastening device according to claim 1 , wherein the retaining body and the support body are integrally made of a bendable plastic material.
3. The sensor fastening device according to claim 1 , wherein the retaining body and the support body are connected to one another via a central web, wherein the central web has an opening for inserting the spreading element.
4. The sensor fastening device according to claim 1 , wherein a receiving gap for receiving the spreading element is formed between the retaining body and the support body.
5. The sensor fastening device according to claim 1 , wherein retaining recesses are formed between the retaining body and the support body for receiving the barbs of the spreading element in a form-fitting manner which can be spread away or can be produced by pressing on the barbs.
6. The sensor fastening device according to claim 1 , wherein the support body has at least one limiting stop for radial abutment against an insulation element provided between a winding and a stator lamination and at least one retaining clip for radial engagement behind the insulation element.
