Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a winding, a component for an electrical machine, an electrical machine and a motor vehicle.

[0002] Electrical machines may include components with windings made of, for example, copper wires for conducting electrical energy to generate magnetic fields.

[0003] Against this background, the present invention provides an improved winding, an improved component for an electric machine, an improved electric machine, an improved electric axle drive, and an improved motor vehicle according to the main claims. Advantageous embodiments emerge from the subclaims and the following description.

[0004] The winding presented here advantageously has a compact circuit, which saves axial space.

[0005] A winding is provided for a component of an electrical machine, wherein the component has an annular laminated core with a plurality of webs and a plurality of slot groups extending axially through the laminated core. Each slot group comprises a plurality of slots for receiving input sections and output sections of partial strands of at least one winding strand of the winding in a plurality of radially adjacent winding layers. Adjacent slot groups are each spaced from one another by one of the webs of the laminated core. On a connecting side of the winding, a connecting section of a first partial strand is arranged axially above a connecting section of a second partial strand of the partial strands.The connecting section of the second sub-strand is arranged axially above a connecting section of a third sub-strand, and the connecting section of the third sub-strand is arranged axially above a connecting section of a fourth sub-strand. The connecting section of the first sub-strand is longer than the connecting section of the second sub-strand. The connecting section of the second sub-strand is longer than the connecting section of the third sub-strand, and the connecting section of the third sub-strand is longer than the connecting section of the fourth sub-strand.

[0006] The electrical machine can be, for example, an electric drive or another electrical machine, for example for a vehicle. The electrical machine can comprise various components, such as a rotor and a stator, similar to known electric motors. The component, for example an annular stator, can be designed as a laminated core made up of several individual sheets, through which the slots for receiving the partial strands and the bridging partial strand of the winding extend. The slots can be numbered along the circumference of the laminated core so that each slot can be assigned a unique position. Each of the slots can accommodate a plurality of partial strands, which can be arranged radially adjacent in the slot. The number of partial strands that can be accommodated by a slot can correspond to a number of winding layers.Thus, the winding layers can represent different sections of the slots. The winding can, for example, be a flat wire winding, whose individual strands can be designed as so-called hairpin wires, i.e., electrically conductive wires with a hairpin-like geometry. The individual strands can, for example, be inserted into the corresponding slots in the laminated core and interconnected on one side of the winding. A connecting side can be understood as a side of the winding on which the connecting sections of the strands are arranged.

[0007] The approach presented here can therefore also be understood as a single-phase distributed winding and / or a single-phase stamped and braided winding for an electrical machine. The winding presented here can have a small axial space requirement.

[0008] The connecting section of the fourth sub-strand can span one web of the webs of the laminated core. The connecting section of the third sub-strand can span the fourth sub-strand, the web, and two slots of the laminated core. The connecting section of the second sub-strand can span the third sub-strand, the fourth sub-strand, the web, and four slots of the laminated core. The connecting section of the first sub-strand can span the sub-strands, the web, and six slots of the laminated core. More precisely, the connecting section of the first sub-strand can span the second sub-strand, the third sub-strand, and the fourth sub-strand. The arrangement of the sub-strands enables a compact design of the winding.

[0009] The first sub-strand, the second sub-strand, the third sub-strand, and the fourth sub-strand can be arranged offset from one another in the circumferential direction of the laminated core. The input section of the fourth sub-strand can be arranged in a fourth input groove directly adjacent to the web, and the output section can be arranged in a fourth output groove directly adjacent to the web. The input section of the third sub-strand can be arranged in a third input groove directly adjacent to the fourth input groove, and the output section can be arranged in a third output groove directly adjacent to the fourth output groove. The input section of the second sub-strand can be arranged in a second input groove directly adjacent to the third input groove, and the output section can be arranged in a second output groove directly adjacent to the third output groove.The input section of the first sub-strand can be arranged in a first input slot directly adjacent to the second input slot, and the output section can be arranged in a first output slot directly adjacent to the second output slot. More specifically, the first input slot can be adjacent to an additional web, and the first output slot can be adjacent to another web. The arrangement of the sub-strands enables a compact winding design.

[0010] The connecting sections of the partial strands can each form an offset, whereby the offset can be formed centrally in the connecting sections. The offsets can reduce the axial height of the partial strands, thereby saving installation space. The offsets can also be referred to as 3D offsets and enable the partial strands to be changed in the different winding layers. The offset can be formed at any location in the connecting section. The connecting section can also form multiple offsets.

[0011] All input sections of the four sub-strands can be accommodated by slots in one of the winding layers, and all output sections of the sub-strands can be accommodated by slots in another of the winding layers. Each winding layer can contain either only output sections or only input sections of a winding strand.

[0012] A first portion of the winding strand can comprise partial strands that can be continuously wound in adjacent, radially inner winding layers. A second portion of the winding strand can comprise partial strands that can be continuously wound in adjacent, radially outer winding layers. The portions can each comprise an equal number of partial strands. The first winding layer and the second winding layer can each be formed as a radially outer winding layer. The third winding layer and the fourth winding layer can each be formed as a radially inner winding layer.

[0013] Input sections of the sub-strands of the second part of the winding strand can be accommodated in slots of a second winding layer, and output sections of the sub-strands can be accommodated in slots of the first winding layer. Input sections of the sub-strands of the first part of the winding strand can be accommodated in slots of a fourth winding layer, and output sections of the sub-strands can be accommodated in slots of the third winding layer. By guiding and interconnecting the individual sub-strands in adjacent winding layers, a simple and space-saving winding pattern can be advantageously implemented.

[0014] The slot groups of the plurality of slot groups can accommodate, in the circumferential direction of the laminated core, exclusively output sections of partial strands of the winding phase and exclusively input sections of partial strands of the winding phase, alternatingly. By routing the individual partial strands in the slot groups, a single-phase distributed winding can be created.

[0015] The winding can comprise at least two winding strands, each with a plurality of alternately connected sub-strands, wherein the winding strands can be wound parallel to one another along the laminated core. This winding pattern advantageously allows for electrical and mechanical symmetry of the winding. Furthermore, the winding pattern can enable simple and cost-effective manufacturing.

[0016] On the connection side of the winding, a further connection section of a further first sub-strand can be arranged axially above a further connection section of a further second sub-strand of further sub-strands. The further connection section of the further second sub-strand can be arranged axially above a further connection section of a further third sub-strand. The further connection section of the further third sub-strand can be arranged axially above a further connection section of a further fourth sub-strand, and the further connection section of the further first sub-strand can be longer than the further connection section of the further second sub-strand of the further sub-strands.In this case, the further connecting section of the further second sub-strand can be longer than the further connecting section of the further third sub-strand and the further connecting section of the further third sub-strand can be longer than the further connecting section of the further fourth sub-strand.

[0017] Furthermore, a component for an electrical machine with a variant of the previously presented winding is presented. The component further comprises the annular laminated core with the plurality of webs and with the plurality of slot groups extending axially through the laminated core for accommodating input sections and output sections of partial phases of at least one winding phase of the winding in a plurality of radially adjacent winding layers, wherein adjacent slot groups are each spaced apart by one of the webs of the laminated core. This combination advantageously allows the previously described advantages to be optimally implemented.

[0018] An electrical machine may comprise a component, which may be embodied either as a stator or as a rotor. For example, the component may comprise the winding.

[0019] The electric machine is suitable, for example, for an electric axle drive. Such an electric axle drive for a motor vehicle comprises at least one named electric machine, a transmission device, and a power converter. The power converter can be designed, for example, as an inverter. Using the power converter, an electrical current required to operate the electric machine can be provided. Using the transmission device, a torque provided by the electric machine can be converted into a drive torque for driving at least one wheel of the motor vehicle. The transmission device can have a gearbox for reducing the speed of the electric machine and, optionally, a differential.

[0020] Accordingly, a motor vehicle may comprise a said electric machine and additionally or alternatively a said electric axle drive.

[0023] Fig. 1 shows a partial representation of an embodiment of a component 100 of an electrical machine 105 with a winding 110. The component 100 is shown in a side view from a connection side 114.

[0024] Component 100 is designed, merely by way of example, as a stator and comprises an annular laminated core 115 with a plurality of slot groups 102, 104 extending axially through the laminated core 115. The slot groups 102, 104 are spaced from one another, for example, by a respective web 118, 128, 138 of the laminated core 115. The slot groups 102, 104 and the webs 118, 128, 138 are arranged alternately in the circumferential direction of the laminated core 115.

[0025] Each slot group 102, 104 comprises a plurality of slots N1, N2, N3, N4, N5, N6, N7, N8 for accommodating partial strands a1, a2, a3, a4 of at least one winding strand of the winding 110 in a plurality of radially adjacent winding layers.

The input section 121 is arranged, for example, in a second input groove N2 directly adjacent to the first input groove N1. The output section 122 is arranged in a second output groove N7 directly adjacent to the first output groove N8. In this arrangement, the connecting section 113 of the first sub-strand a1 is arranged axially above the connecting section 123 of the second sub-strand a2. The connecting section 113 of the first sub-strand a1 is longer than the connecting section 123 of the second sub-strand a2.

[0028] The third sub-strand a3 forms, for example, an input section 131, an output section 132, and a connecting section 133, with the connecting section 133 connecting the input section 131 and the output section 132. The input section 131 is arranged, for example, in a third input groove N3 directly adjacent to the second input groove N2. The output section 132 is arranged in a third output groove N6 directly adjacent to the second output groove N7.

The connecting section 133 of the third sub-strand 131 is longer than the connecting section 143 of the fourth sub-strand a4.

[0031] The connecting sections 113, 123, 133, 143 each form, for example, an offset 119, 125, 135, 145. The offsets 119, 125, 135, 145 are formed and designed merely as an example in the center of the connecting sections 113, 123, 133, 143 in order to reduce an axial height of the connecting sections 113, 123, 133, 143. The offsets 119, 125, 135, 145 can be referred to as 3D offsets and can be formed at any location on the connecting sections 113, 123, 133, 143. A 2D bending shape can vary for a further reduction in the winding head height of the partial strands a1, a2, a3, a4.

The first sub-strand a1 comprises the input section 111 and the output section 112 for passing through a groove of a laminated core of a component. The input section 111 and the output section 112 are connected by the connecting section 113.
