Abstract

A lamination of a rotor of a rotary dynamo-electric machine includes a shaft bore with a radius, at least two pull-through grooves, and two intermediate space recesses. Each of the pull-through grooves has a lamination tongue facing radially inwards towards an axis such that the lamination tongue ends facing radially inwards lie on a radius which is smaller than the radius defined by the shaft bore.

Claims (28)

1. A lamination of a rotor of a rotary dynamo-electric machine, said lamination comprising:

a shaft bore for receiving a shaft, said shaft bore defined by a first radius; and

at least two pull-through grooves, each of the pull-through grooves having a lamination tongue having a conical configuration with a non-zero cone angle and facing radially inwards towards an axis such that a radially-inwardly facing end of the lamination tongue defines a second radius which is smaller than the first radius so as to achieve a form-fit with the shaft to effect an anti-rotation protection and axial safety against slippage on the shaft, each of the pull-through grooves formed on the shaft bore by two pitch circles which are defined by a third radius and configured to transition each at a predeterminable transition point from the third radius into a straight line, with the straight lines intersecting at the end of the lamination tongue and enclosing the conical lamination tongue,

wherein a location of the predeterminable transition point from the third radius into the straight line is selected to adjust the non-zero angle and the bending stiffness of the lamination tongue in order to provide form-fit score marks on a radially outward facing surface of the shaft.

2. The lamination of claim 1 , wherein the pull-through grooves are equally distributed circumferentially in the shaft bore.

3. The lamination of claim 1 , wherein the pull-through grooves lie opposite one another in the shaft bore.

4. The lamination of claim 1 , further comprising two intermediate space recesses arranged between the pull-through grooves, as viewed in a circumferential direction.

5. The lamination of claim 1 , wherein the straight lines are connected at the radially-inwardly facing end of the lamination tongue by a circular tip having a fourth radius.

6. A laminated core of a rotor of a rotary dynamo-electric machine, said laminated core comprising:

a plurality of laminations, each lamination comprising a shaft bore for receiving a shaft, said shaft bore defined by a first radius, at least two pull-through grooves, each of the pull-through grooves having a lamination tongue having a conical configuration with a non-zero cone angle and facing radially inwards towards an axis such that a radially-inwardly facing end of the lamination tongue defines a second radius which is smaller than the first radius so as to achieve a form-fit with the shaft to effect an anti-rotation protection and axial safety against slippage on the shaft, each of the pull-through grooves formed on the shaft bore by two pitch circles which are defined by a third radius and configured to transition each at a predeterminable transition point from the third radius into a straight line, with the straight lines intersecting at the end of the lamination tongue and enclosing the conical lamination tongue, and two intermediate space recesses, wherein a location of the predeterminable transition point from the third radius into the straight line is selected to adjust the non-zero angle and the bending stiffness of the lamination tongue in order to provide form-fit score marks on a radially outward facing surface of the shaft

said plurality of laminations being axially layered in an axial direction such that the lamination tongues of one of the laminations are arranged between adjacent ones of the laminations which in a region of the lamination tongues of the one of the laminations have the intermediate space recesses to effect an anti-rotation protection and axial stability against slippage on the shaft.

7. The laminated core of claim 6 , wherein the pull-through grooves are equally distributed circumferentially in the shaft bore.

8. The laminated core of claim 6 , wherein the pull-through grooves lie opposite one another in the shaft bore.

9. The laminated core of claim 6 , wherein the intermediate space recesses, viewed in a circumferential direction, are arranged between the pull-through grooves.

10. A method for joining a laminated core constructed as set forth in claim 6 to a shaft, said method comprising:

processing a radially outward facing surface of the shaft to form processing notches with a surface roughness of at least RZ25; and

axially pressing a shaft bore of the laminated core onto the shaft up to a predetermined axial position to cause lamination tongues of laminations of the laminated core to rub along the shaft and smooth tips of the processing notches on the shaft to thereby form form-fit score marks on an external diameter the radially outward facing surface of the shaft.

11. A dynamo-electric rotary machine, comprising:

a shaft; and

a rotor including a laminated core, said laminated core comprising a plurality of laminations, each lamination comprising a shaft bore for receiving the shaft, said shaft bore defined by a first radius, at least two pull-through grooves, each of the pull-through grooves having a lamination tongue having a conical configuration with a non-zero cone angle and facing radially inwards towards an axis such that a radially-inwardly facing end of the lamination tongue defines a second radius which is smaller than the first radius so as to achieve a form-fit with the shaft to effect an anti-rotation protection and axial safety against slippage on the shaft, each of the pull-through grooves formed on the shaft bore by two pitch circles which are defined by a third radius and configured to transition each at a predeterminable transition point from the third radius into a straight line, with the straight lines intersecting at the end of the lamination tongue and enclosing the conical lamination tongue, wherein a location of the predeterminable transition point from the third radius into the straight line is selected to adjust the non-zero angle and the bending stiffness of the lamination tongue in order to provide form-fit score marks on a radially outward facing surface of the shaft said plurality of laminations being axially layered in an axial direction such that the lamination tongues of one of the laminations are arranged between adjacent ones of the laminations which in a region of the lamination tongues of the one of the laminations have intermediate space recesses.

12. The dynamo-electric rotary machine of claim 11 , wherein the pull-through grooves are equally distributed circumferentially in the shaft bore.

13. The dynamo-electric rotary machine of claim 11 , wherein the pull-through grooves lie opposite one another in the shaft bore.

14. The dynamo-electric rotary machine of claim 11 , wherein the intermediate space recesses, viewed in a circumferential direction, are arranged between the pull-through grooves.

15. The dynamo-electric rotary machine of claim 11 , constructed for use in a compressor, pump, or machine tool.

16. The dynamo-electric rotary machine of claim 11 , wherein the radially outward facing surface of the shaft comprises processing notches with a surface roughness of at least RZ25.

17. A lamination of a rotor of a rotary dynamo-electric machine, said lamination comprising:

a shaft bore for receiving a shaft, said shaft bore defined by a first radius; and

at least two pull-through grooves, each of the pull-through grooves bounding a lamination tongue having a trapezoidal configuration and facing radially inwards towards an axis such that a radially-inwardly facing end of the lamination tongue defines a second radius which is smaller than the first radius so as to achieve a form-fit with the shaft to effect an anti-rotation protection and axial safety against slippage on the shaft, each of the pull-through grooves formed on the shaft bore by two pitch circles configured to transition each at a predeterminable transition point into a straight line, with the straight lines connected at the radially inwardly facing end of the lamination tongue by a straight line, wherein a location of the predeterminable transition point from the third radius into the straight line is selected to adjust the non-zero angle and the bending stiffness of the lamination tongue in order to provide form-fit score marks on a radially outward facing surface of the shaft.
