Abstract

An arrangement in a rotor of an electrical machine; the rotor ( 5 ) rotates around its axis of rotation and comprises of, at least, the frame ( 13 ) and coils ( 15 ), which are projected as coil ends ( 11 ). There are protruding beams ( 17,18 ) substantially projecting in the direction of the longitudinal axis from the frame ( 13 ) outside the outer ring surface ( 12 ) formed by the coil ends ( 11 ); a binding band ( 9 ) is fitted on the protruding beams ( 17, 18 ) and a binding band ( 9 ) is glideable on the protruding beams ( 17, 18 ).

Claims (17)

1. An arrangement in an electrical machine rotor, which rotates around an axis of rotation and comprises at least a frame and coils, which are projected as coil ends, wherein:

protruding beams project substantially in the direction of the longitudinal axis from the frame and outside an outer ring surface formed by ends of the coils; and

an annular binding band is fitted on the protruding beams, said binding band having an inner surface adapted to glide on the protruding beams during the installation of the binding band,

wherein the binding band is tension fit on the protruding beams.

2. An arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the protruding beams are slot wedges.

3. An arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the binding band is at least partially conical on the inner surface.

4. An arrangement according to claim 3 , wherein the conical ratio of the binding band is 1:40 . . . 1:50.

5. An arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the binding band is self-fastening.

6. An arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the electrical machine is a slip-ring generator.

7. An arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein an air channel is formed by the gap between two slot wedges, the binding band and the coil ends.

8. A method of manufacturing a rotor of an electrical machine, the method comprising:

installing coils projecting as coil ends in a frame of the rotor;

installing protruding beams projecting substantially in the direction of the longitudinal axis from the frame outside the outer ring surface formed by the coil ends; and

fitting an annular binding band on the protruding beams by gliding the protruding beams inside the binding band,

wherein the binding band is tension fit on the protruding beams.

9. The arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the binding band includes a plurality of holes having axes perpendicular to the axis of rotation.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the binding band includes a plurality of holes having axes perpendicular to the axis of rotation.
