Method for production of a stator and stator produced according thereto

1. A method for manufacturing a stator core ( 20 ) for an electric machine, in which a plurality of strip-shaped lamellas ( 21 ) with outer teeth ( 70 ) are first stacked to form an essentially block-shaped lamination packet ( 40 ) that is then shaped into an annular form by means of roller bending in one of the subsequent steps so that the outer teeth are provided on the outer circumference of the lamination packet and has an axial direction (a) that corresponds to a cylinder axis (z), the annular form having axial end surfaces ( 46 ), wherein in another of the subsequent steps, the annular lamination packet ( 40 ) is plastically deformed in the axial direction (a) only on the outer teeth ( 70 ) of the axial end surfaces ( 46 ).

2. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein axial clamping surfaces ( 53 ) are formed onto the two axial ends of the annular lamination packet ( 40 ) as a result of the plastic deformation of the end surfaces ( 46 ).

3. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein at the same time, the outer circumference of the annular lamination packet ( 40 ) is pressed in the radial direction and thus plastically deformed.

4. The method as recited in claim 3 , wherein the plastic deformation of the outer circumference of the lamination packet ( 40 ) produces a radial housing fitting ( 54 ).

5. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the plastic deformation simultaneously forms an insertion chamfer ( 55 ).

6. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the lamellas ( 21 ) have a thickness between 0.35 mm and 1 mm.

7. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein a number of n lamellas of a lamination packet ( 40 ) are positioned in the packet in the same sequence in which they were produced in a stamping die.

8. The method as recited in claim 7 , wherein the lamination packet ( 40 ) is divided into at least two partial lamination packets ( 58 ) and these are joined to form a lamination packet ( 40 ) so that at an internal junction point ( 65 ), stamping burrs ( 57 ) of adjacent lamellas ( 21 ) are oriented away from each other.

9. The method as recited in claim 7 , wherein the still individual lamellas ( 21 ) are first cleaned and then the desired number of lamellas ( 21 ) are stacked to produce a gap-free lamination packet ( 40 ), precisely aligned, pressed against one another through exertion of a force, and then the lamellas ( 21 ) are attached to one another by means of an attaching technique.

10. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein before the lamellas ( 21 ) are stamped out from a lamination sheet blank, its material thickness (s) is determined by means of a measuring device (M) and the desired number of lamellas in the essentially block-shaped lamination packet ( 40 ) is determined based on a toleranced desired width of the essentially block-shaped lamination packet ( 40 ).

11. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein outwardly oriented stamping burrs ( 57 ) of the lamellas ( 21 ) are removed.

12. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the roller bending occurs while the lamination packet ( 40 ) is axially prestressed at the same time.

13. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the essentially block-shaped lamination packet ( 40 ) has two ends 43 , which are attached to each other after the lamination packet ( 40 ) undergoes roller bending while being axially prestressed.

14. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the axial shaping step reduces the axial length of the stator packet ( 40 ) by between 1% and 10% at the outer circumference.

15. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein half tooth welding seams ( 99 ) are provided on tooth heads ( 29 ) of half teeth ( 25 ) and/or on the end surfaces ( 43 ) of the half teeth ( 25 ).

16. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein welding seams ( 81 , 83 ) are provided, which extend in the axial direction from an axial end surface ( 46 ) and only connect up to twenty lamellas ( 21 ) to one another.

17. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein before the roller bending, a stator winding ( 60 ) is inserted into the essentially block-shaped lamination packet.

18. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the lamellas ( 21 ) have a thickness of 0.5 mm.

19. The method as recited in claim 1 , wherein the lamellas ( 21 ) have the same material thicknesses.
