Abstract

The disclosure relates to a method of providing a component for an electric machine having a body including multiple grooves and multiple indentations, and a cover including multiple recesses and multiple fixation elements. The method includes arranging at least one of the indentations at an edge of each of the grooves of the body, arranging at least one of the fixation elements at each of the recesses, and arranging the cover on the body with each of the recesses of the cover associated with a respective one of the grooves of the body, and each of the fixation elements of the cover arranged in a respective one of the indentations of the grooves of the body.

Claims (21)

1 . A method of providing a component for an electric machine having a body including multiple grooves and multiple indentations, and a cover including multiple recesses and multiple fixation elements, the method comprising:

arranging a respective one of the indentations at an edge of each of the grooves of the body, wherein the respective one of the indentations includes a transverse section joining two longitudinal sections, and wherein the transverse section and the two longitudinal sections extend along a complete edge of each of the grooves;

arranging at least one of the fixation elements at each of the recesses of the cover; and

arranging the cover on the body with each of the recesses of the cover associated with a respective one of the grooves of the body, and each of the fixation elements of the cover in the respective one of the indentations along the complete edge of the grooves of the body.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the respective one of the indentations is formed at the edge of each of the grooves, one of the fixation elements is arranged at each of the recesses, and each of the fixation elements is configured as an elevation.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

arranging at least one conductor wire for a winding of the component in each of the grooves.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the body includes a plurality of teeth, wherein each of the grooves is disposed between a respective adjacent pair of the plurality of teeth, and wherein, when the component is assembled, the plurality of teeth extend radially inward beyond the fixation elements.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the body includes a plurality of teeth, wherein each of the grooves is disposed between a respective adjacent pair of the plurality of teeth, and wherein, when the component is assembled, the fixation elements are offset radially outward from radially inward ends of the plurality of teeth.

6 . A component for an electric machine, comprising:

a body including multiple grooves and multiple indentations; and

a cover including multiple recesses and multiple fixation elements,

wherein a respective one of the indentations is arranged at an edge of each of the grooves of the body,

wherein the respective one of the indentations includes a transverse section joining two longitudinal sections,

wherein the transverse section and the two longitudinal sections extend along a complete edge of each of the grooves,

wherein at least one of the fixation elements is arranged at each of the recesses of the cover, and

wherein the cover is arranged on the body with each of the recesses of the cover associated with a respective one of the grooves of the body, and each of the fixation elements of the cover is arranged in the respective one of the indentations along the complete edge of the grooves of the body.

7 . The component according to claim 6 , wherein the cover is secured on the body by the fixation elements at the recesses arranged in the indentations of the body.

8 . The component according to claim 6 , wherein the component is configured as a stator of the electric machine.

9 . The component according to claim 6 , wherein the body includes a plurality of teeth, wherein each of the grooves is disposed between a respective adjacent pair of the plurality of teeth, and wherein, when the component is assembled, the plurality of teeth extend radially inward beyond the fixation elements.

10 . The component according to claim 6 , wherein the body includes a plurality of teeth, wherein each of the grooves is disposed between a respective adjacent pair of the plurality of teeth, and wherein, when the component is assembled, the fixation elements are offset radially outward from radially inward ends of the plurality of teeth.
