Abstract

An electric machine ( 1 ), in particular for a drive apparatus for a motor vehicle, comprising a rotor shaft ( 9 ), which is mounted rotatably in a housing ( 2 ), comprising a slip ring device ( 13 ), which has at least two slip rings ( 14, 15 ) arranged in rotationally fixed fashion on the rotor shaft ( 9 ) and at least two sliding contacts ( 16, 17 ), which are arranged in the housing ( 2 ) and interact with in each case one of the slip rings ( 14, 15 ), and comprising a rotation angle detection device, which has at least one rotation angle encoder ( 23 ) arranged on the rotor shaft ( 9 ) and at least one rotation angle sensor ( 26 ) arranged in the housing for detecting the rotation angle encoder ( 23 ).

Claims (16)

1. An electric machine ( 1 ), comprising a rotor shaft ( 9 ), which is mounted rotatably in a housing ( 2 ), a slip ring device ( 13 ), which has at least two slip rings ( 14 , 15 ) arranged in rotationally fixed fashion on the rotor shaft ( 9 ) and at least two sliding contacts ( 16 , 17 ), which are arranged in the housing ( 2 ) and interact with in each case one of the slip rings ( 14 , 15 ), and a rotation angle detection device, which has at least one rotation angle encoder ( 23 ) arranged on the rotor shaft ( 9 ) and at least one rotation angle sensor ( 26 ) arranged in the housing for detecting the rotation angle encoder ( 23 ), characterized by a sleeve ( 18 ), which is applied to a free end ( 10 ) of the rotor shaft ( 9 ) and bears the slip rings ( 14 , 15 ) on a lateral outer wall of the sleeve and the rotation angle encoder ( 23 ) on one free end side ( 19 ) of the sleeve.

2. The electric machine according to claim 1 , characterized in that the sleeve ( 18 ) has, at the free end side ( 19 ), a receiving depression ( 24 ), in which the rotation angle encoder ( 23 ) is arranged.

3. The electric machine according to claim 2 , characterized in that the rotation angle encoder ( 23 ) is pressed into the receiving depression ( 24 ) so as to be locked in a force-fitting manner.

4. The electric machine according to claim 2 , characterized in that the rotation angle encoder ( 23 ) is held in the receiving depression ( 24 ) by at least one of adhesive bonding and injection-molding.

5. The electric machine according to claim 1 , characterized in that the free end side ( 19 ) of the sleeve ( 18 ) is closed.

6. The electric machine according to claim 1 , characterized in that the sleeve ( 18 ) is pushed, pressed, shrunk-fit or sprayed onto the free end ( 10 ) of the rotor shaft ( 9 ) for fastening in rotationally fixed fashion.

7. The electric machine according to claim 1 , characterized in that the sleeve ( 18 ) has a fan impeller ( 29 ).

8. The electric machine according to claim 7 , characterized in that the fan impeller ( 29 ) is formed by fan blades ( 31 ), which are arranged on the sleeve ( 18 ).

9. The electric machine according to claim 1 , characterized in that the rotation angle encoder ( 23 ) is in the form of a permanent magnet with at least two poles.

10. The electric machine according to claim 1 , characterized in that the sleeve ( 18 ) is plastic.

11. The electric machine according to claim 1 , characterized in that a fan impeller ( 29 ) is formed by fan blades ( 31 ), which are formed integrally with the sleeve ( 18 ).

12. The electric machine according to claim 5 , characterized in that the sleeve ( 18 ) surrounds the shaft ( 9 ).

13. The electric machine according to claim 1 , characterized in that the free end side ( 19 ) of the sleeve ( 18 ) is closed in the axial direction.

14. The electric machine according to claim 13 , characterized in that the sleeve ( 18 ) has, at the free end side ( 19 ), an axial receiving depression ( 24 ), in which the rotation angle encoder ( 23 ) is arranged.

15. The electric machine according to claim 2 , characterized in that the depression ( 24 ) is in the form of an axial depression.

16. The electric machine according to claim 8 , characterized in that the fan blades ( 31 ) are disposed radially to an axial depression ( 24 ) at the free end side ( 19 ) of the sleeve ( 18 ).
