[0002] title
[0003] Stator of an electrical machine
[0004] State of the art
[0005] The invention is based on a stator of an electrical machine according to the preamble of the main claim.
[0006] A stator of an electrical machine is already known from DE102019113785 A1, comprising a stator body comprising a stator laminated core, and having a stator winding extending through stator slots of the stator body, wherein a plurality of support points, spaced apart from one another in the axial direction with respect to a stator axis, are formed in the stator slots for clamping the conductor or conductor bundle of the stator winding located in the respective stator slot, wherein at least one slot gap is formed between the walls of the respective stator slot and the conductor or conductor bundle arranged in the stator slot, which extends in the axial direction to form a slot gap channel and through which a cooling medium, in particular oil, can flow. The stator body comprises at least two clamping disks on which clamping structures are formed to form the support points.
[0007] Advantages of the invention
[0008] The stator of an electrical machine according to the invention with the characterizing features of the main claim has the advantage that the conductor bundles can be inserted into the stator slots during assembly without clamping forces. In this way, the manufacturing costs of the stator are reduced. Furthermore, damage to the conductor bundles when inserting 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 that are axially clamped to form the support points and, as a result of the clamping, are elastically displaced or deformed into the respective stator slot. The measures listed in the subclaims enable advantageous further developments and improvements of the stator of an electrical machine specified in the main claim.
[0009] According to an advantageous embodiment, the respective bead structure of the respective clamping disc, in the unstressed state, protrudes in the axial direction relative to a stator axis relative to the remaining part of the clamping disc. In this way, the bead structures can be partially displaced into the stator slots when axially preloaded.
[0010] In particular, the respective bead structure can also protrude into the respective stator slot in the unstressed state. This defines a preferred direction for the displacement or deformation of the bead structure, allowing the support points to be manufactured reliably and reproducibly.
[0011] It is particularly advantageous if the respective clamping disc has a bead structure for each stator slot. This creates a support point for each clamping disc and each stator slot.
[0012] It is very advantageous if the respective bead structure is formed on at least two opposite flanks of the stator slot per stator slot, in particular additionally on a slot base and / or on a slot slot. In this way, the respective support point can be manufactured reliably and reproducibly.
[0013] It is also advantageous if the respective bead structure is arranged on or along a slot edge of the respective stator slot. In this way, the bead structure is formed very close to the respective stator slot, so that the deformation path by which the bead structure must be displaced to form the support point can be kept to a minimum.
[0014] According to an advantageous embodiment, the bead structure of the respective stator slot can comprise at least one bead or bead that runs continuously along the slot edge, in particular in a U-shape or ring-shaped manner. Alternatively, the bead structure can also comprise several individual beads or bead structures that are arranged at a distance from one another along the slot edge. Furthermore, it is 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.
[0015] It is also advantageous that the clamping discs each have a disc body, particularly made of metal or plastic, on which teeth and grooves formed between the teeth are provided. The respective bead structure is formed on the disc body, molded or injection-molded onto it, applied to the disc body, or placed on the disc body as a separate part. This allows the clamping disc to be manufactured particularly easily and cost-effectively.
[0016] According to an advantageous embodiment, it can be provided that the disc body has a carrier body, in particular made of metal, onto 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.
[0017] This makes it particularly easy and cost-effective to produce the clamping disc.
[0018] It is also advantageous if the clamping disc is an end disc arranged on an end face of the stator body, or if the clamping disc is an intermediate disc 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.
[0019] It is further advantageous if the stator body has through holes for the passage of fastening screws and for fastening the stator to a housing. The stator body can be clamped against the housing by means of the fastening screws, axially clamping the bead structures of the clamping discs. In this way, the support points can be formed or the conductors or conductor bundles can be clamped in place simultaneously with the fastening of the stator.
[0020] Advantageously, the stator slots have slot slots that are closed by at least one slot closure. In this way, the slot gap channels are sealed tightly or quasi-tightly in the radial direction toward an air gap of the electric machine. The invention further relates to an electric machine with a stator according to the invention.
