The stator body comprises at least two clamping disks on which clamping structures are formed for forming the supporting points.Advantages of the InventionThe stator according to the invention of an electric machine having the characterizing features of the main claim has the advantage over the related art that the conductor bundles can be introduced into the stator grooves during assembly without clamping forces. In this way, the manufacturing cost of the stator is reduced. In addition, damage to the conductor bundles during the insertion of the conductor bundles into the respective stator slots is avoided. This is achieved according to the invention in that the clamping structures are formed by elastically deformable bead structures which are axially braced to form the supporting points and, as a result of the bracing, are elastically pushed or deformed into the respective stator groove.The measures listed in the subclaims make possible advantageous refinements and improvements of the stator of an electric machine specified in the main claim.According to an advantageous embodiment, it is provided that the respective bead structure of the respective clamping disk in the non-tensioned state protrudes in the axial direction with respect to a stator axis relative to the remaining part of the clamping disk. In this way, the bead structures can be forced partly into the stator grooves under axial prestress.In particular, the respective bead structure can additionally protrude into the respective stator groove in the non-tensioned state. In this way, a preferred direction for the displacement or deformation of the bead structure is defined, so that the supporting points can be produced reliably and reproducibly.It is particularly advantageous if the respective clamping disk has a bead structure per stator groove. In this way, one support point is formed per clamping disk and per stator groove.It is very advantageous if the respective bead structure per stator slot is formed at least on two opposite slot flanks of the stator slot, in particular additionally on a slot base and / or on a slot slot. In this way, the respective supporting point can be produced reliably and reproducibly.It is furthermore advantageous if the respective bead structure is arranged on or along a groove edge of the respective stator groove. In this way, the bead structure is formed very close to the respective stator groove, so that the forming path by which the bead structure has to be displaced in order to form the support point can be kept small.According to an advantageous embodiment, the bead structure of the respective stator groove can comprise at least one bead or bead which runs continuously along the groove edge, in particular in a U-shape or ring-shaped manner. Alternatively, the bead structure may also comprise a plurality of individual beads or caterpillars which are arranged along the groove edge at a distance from one another.It is furthermore advantageous if the respective bead structure is formed from a plastic, in particular a thermoplastic, silicone or elastomer. In this way, the bead structure can provide the required elastic deformation.It is furthermore advantageous that the clamping disks each have a disk body, in particular made of metal or plastic, on which teeth and grooves formed between the teeth are provided, wherein the respective bead structure is formed, molded or injection-molded on the disk body, applied to the disk body or placed as a separate part on the disk body. As a result, the clamping disk can be produced particularly easily and cost-effectively.According to an advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that the pane body has a carrier body, in particular made of metal, on which plastic is molded, injection-molded or applied, wherein the at least one bead structure, in particular the plurality of individual bead structures, is or are formed on the plastic. As a result, the clamping disk can be produced particularly easily and cost-effectively.It is also advantageous if the clamping disk is an end disk which is arranged on an end face of the stator body, or if the clamping disk is an intermediate disk which is arranged between two partial bodies of the stator body. In this way, the support points can be formed at the ends of the stator body and / or in an intermediate region, in particular in a center, of the stator body.It is further advantageous if the stator body has through-holes for the passage of fastening screws and for the fastening of the stator to a housing, wherein the stator body can be braced against the housing by means of the fastening screws with axial bracing of the bead structures of the clamping disks. In this way, with the attachment of the stator, a formation of the supporting points or a clamping of the conductors or conductor bundles can be achieved simultaneously.Advantageously, the stator slots have slot slots which are closed by at least one slot closure. In this way, the slot channels are sealed in a sealing or quasi-sealing manner in the radial direction toward an air gap of the electric machine.The invention further relates to an electric machine having a stator according to the invention.DRAWINGAn exemplary embodiment of the invention is shown in simplified form in the drawing and explained in more detail in the following description.The following are shown: FIG. 1 shows a stator of an electric machine having three clamping disks according to the invention, FIG. 2 is a sectional view of the stator for a section running through a stator groove along the line II-II in FIG. 1 , FIG. 3 is a partial view of one of the clamping disks according to the invention, and FIG. 4 is a sectional view of the clamping disk according to FIG. 3 for a section along the line IV--IV in FIG. 3.DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTFIG. 1 shows a stator of an electric machine with three clamping disks according to the invention.The stator 1 of an electric machine 2 has a stator body 3 and a stator winding 4, which runs through stator slots 5 of the stator body 3.
