[0005] Stator of an electric machine

[0006] State of the art

[0007] The invention relates to a stator of an electrical machine according to the preamble of the main claim.

[0008] A stator for an electric machine is already known from DE102019113785 A1, which has a stator body, in particular comprising a stator lamination stack, with a stator axis on which stator teeth and stator slots located between the stator teeth are formed, and which includes a stator yoke connecting the stator teeth. The stator slots have a slot bottom facing the stator yoke. In each stator slot, a single conductor or a conductor bundle comprising several conductors, in particular a stack of flat wire conductors, is provided to form an electrical stator winding. Between the tooth flanks of the respective stator slot and the conductor or conductor bundle arranged in the stator slot, at least one slot gap is provided, which forms a slot gap channel extending in the axial direction with respect to the stator axis, through which a cooling fluid can flow along a slot cooling path. In this way, direct conductor cooling is achieved.

[0009] Advantages of the invention

[0010] In contrast, the stator of an electric machine according to the invention, with the characterizing features of the main claim, has the advantage that the cooling of the stator is improved by directing the cooling fluid downstream of the conductor direct cooling to one of the layers of at least one winding head of the stator winding for winding head cooling. In particular, the winding head cooling is improved when the cooling fluid is directed to the outermost layer of the winding head.

[0011] This is achieved according to the invention by the stator body having an end disk device on at least one end face, in particular on both end faces, which has several outlet openings arranged along the circumferential direction for spraying a layer of a winding head of the stator winding and several R. 415027

[0012] 2

[0013] The invention includes outlet connections for connecting the outlet openings to one or more of the groove cooling paths. According to the invention, the outlet openings are arranged in disc teeth or in a disc yoke of the respective end disc assembly, in particular in the disc yoke between two adjacent stator grooves and / or in particular in the disc yoke at a radial distance from the groove base of the stator grooves.

[0014] The design according to the invention provides many degrees of freedom for the development of optimal winding head cooling, in particular with regard to the arrangement and design of the outlet openings.

[0015] The radial spacing of the outlet openings from the groove base allows for a radial distance between the outlet openings and the winding head, resulting in a free jet of cooling fluid directed towards the winding head at each outlet opening. The respective free jet is easily adjustable at the end plate assembly, particularly with regard to its impact position on the conductors of the winding head and / or its jet velocity.

[0016] The measures listed in the dependent claims enable advantageous further developments and improvements of the stator of an electrical machine specified in the main claim.

[0017] It is particularly advantageous if the end disk assembly has groove recesses that, in the axial direction, are provided for the passage of conductors of the stator winding and, in the radial direction with respect to the stator axis, open via a groove base outlet into a yoke channel extending within the disk yoke to form one of the outlet connections. This allows the outlet connections to be formed easily. Furthermore, effective winding head cooling can be achieved.

[0018] The yoke channels of the end disk assembly can be separated from each other. This allows the cooling flow in each stator slot to be individually adjusted. For example, different or the same flow rates can be set in the stator slots.

[0019] According to the exemplary embodiments, in an end plate device, several yoke channels are advantageously connected from several adjacent groove recesses to a single R. 415027

[0020] 3. A circumferentially extending collecting channel is flow-connected, leading into at least one of the outlet openings. In this way, more uniform winding head cooling can be achieved in the circumferential direction.

[0021] It is further advantageous if the end-disc assembly has at least two separate collecting channels arranged one behind the other in the circumferential direction, each extending along a partial circumference of the disc yoke's inner circumference. This allows the collecting areas to be hydraulically decoupled from one another, enabling the respective winding head to be cooled to varying degrees in different circumferential areas associated with the collecting channels. Furthermore, a larger contact area of ​​the end-disc assembly on the stator lamination stack can be achieved, allowing for better pressure against the stator lamination stack and improved sealing against it.

[0022] According to an advantageous first embodiment, the end plate device can be a single disc and / or a plastic part, in particular an injection-molded part. In this way, the end plate device can be manufactured simply and cost-effectively.

[0023] Advantageously, the outlet connections and outlet openings can be formed on the same disc. This makes the end disc assembly simple and cost-effective to manufacture.

[0024] It is also advantageous if the outlet connections according to the first embodiment are designed as groove-shaped recesses on a rear side of the end disk device facing the stator lamination stack.

[0025] Furthermore, it is advantageous if the groove recesses of the end disk assembly each have two tooth flanks, wherein at least one of the tooth flanks of the respective groove recess has a flank step extending radially with respect to the stator axis to form at least one radial flow connection to the respective groove bottom outlet. In this way, the cooling fluid can be guided within the respective stator groove from radially inside to the groove bottom outlet or to the outlet openings with minimal pressure loss. R. 415027

[0026] 4

[0027] According to an advantageous second embodiment, the end plate assembly can be multi-disc, and the outlet connections and outlet openings can be formed on different discs. In this way, the end plate assembly can be designed with sheet metal lamellae, so that it can be electromagnetically active and contribute to the torque generation of the electric machine.

[0028] Furthermore, it is advantageous if the end disk device according to the second embodiment comprises at least one groove outlet disk, on which the outlet connections are formed and which is in particular a sheet metal lamella, and at least one stator outlet disk, on which the outlet openings are formed and which is in particular a sheet metal lamella. In this way, the end disk device can be designed with sheet metal lamellae, so that the end disk device can be made electromagnetically active and contributes to the torque generation of the electric machine.

[0029] It is advantageous if the outlet connections in the respective grooved outlet disc are continuous in the axial direction and the respective collecting channel of the grooved outlet disc separates, along its circumferential extent, disc teeth formed between the groove recesses of the grooved outlet disc from a disc yoke of the grooved outlet disc. In this way, the outlet connections can be formed particularly easily in a sheet metal lamella.

[0030] Furthermore, it is advantageous if the groove recesses of the respective groove outlet disk are wider in the circumferential direction than the groove recesses of the stator laminations, in order to form at least one radial flow connection to the respective groove bottom outlet within the respective stator groove. In this way, the cooling fluid can be guided radially inwards to the groove bottom outlet within the respective stator groove with minimal pressure loss.

[0031] It is further advantageous if two cooling channels running in opposite directions are provided in the respective stator slot, originating from a slot inlet in a central slot section (viewed axially) and extending in opposite directions to the ends of the stator slot. In this way, the cooling channels can be cooled at a lower pressure, thus reducing the sealing requirements for the slot gap channels. (See R. 415027)

[0032] Furthermore, the pressure loss in the respective slot cooling path is reduced, since the respective slot cooling path does not run over the entire length, but only over an axial section of the respective stator slot.

[0033] Advantageously, a spacer element made of folded insulating paper can be provided in each of the stator slots. This spacer element comprises a central strip with a flank strip angled at each of its long side edges, facing one of the tooth flanks of the respective stator slot. The flank strips of the spacer element have recesses forming a slot cooling path. The insulating paper of the spacer element can be, in particular, an expandable, and especially a thermally expandable, insulating paper for fixing the stator winding to support points in the stator slot. The stator winding can be fixed in the stator slots by expanding the spacer elements. The support points are formed, in particular, on sleeve sections of the spacer elements.

[0034] Alternatively, the stator winding can be fixed to support points in the stator slot by twisting several laminations of the stator body, particularly the stator lamination stack, around the stator axis. In this way, the stator winding can be fixed by a mechanical process. The thermal process for expanding the spacers is eliminated.

[0035] It is also advantageous if the outlet openings of the end disk device each have an opening axis that runs axially or obliquely to the stator axis towards the winding head, and in particular is also aligned circumferentially. This allows the winding head cooling to be improved or optimized.

[0036] Additionally, it can be advantageous if the outlet openings of the end-disc assembly have different flow cross-sections, particularly with regard to size and shape. This allows for further improvement or optimization of the winding head cooling.

[0037] The invention further relates to an electric machine comprising a stator according to the invention, a rotor, and an air gap formed between the stator and the rotor. R. 415027
