Lamellar Stack Magnet Fixing via Elastic Retaining Section
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for fixing permanent magnets in laminated cores of electrical machines often result in damage due to direct contact with punching burrs, leading to asymmetries in magnetic fields and balancing issues, and require additional steps like adhesive coating and burr removal.
Innovation Solution
The use of elastically deformable holding sections with a projection that keeps the contact surface away from the edge area, including a convex shape to prevent contact with punching burrs, allowing for secure and precise magnet fixation without damaging the magnet surface.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of manufacture
If magnets are fixed directly in the recesses of the laminated core, then the fixation is simple and direct, but the punching burrs on the edge areas damage the magnet surface
Solution Approach 1:
The holding section acts as an intermediary element between the laminated core and the magnet. It provides a contact surface that is spaced away from the punching burrs on the edge area, thereby mediating the fixation process without allowing direct contact between the burrs and the magnet surface. This resolves the contradiction by enabling simple fixation while protecting the magnet.
Solution Approach 2:
The holding section extends in the axial direction to create a stepped structure, moving the contact surface away from the plane of the punching burrs. This dimensional change separates the harmful edge areas from the magnet contact area in the axial dimension, allowing fixation without surface damage.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If additional steps like adhesive coating and burr removal are implemented, then magnet surface damage is prevented, but production costs and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The holding section is designed to automatically provide protection against magnet surface damage through its own geometric structure. The contact surface is inherently spaced away from the punching burrs by the design of the holding section itself, eliminating the need for external protective measures like adhesive coating or burr removal processes. The structure serves its own protective function.
Solution Approach 2:
The harmful punching burrs are effectively excluded from the magnet contact area by the holding section's design. The contact surface is extracted from the plane containing the punching burrs, creating a separate zone that does not interact with the magnet. This extraction eliminates the need for additional protective steps.
3Volume of moving object
If the contact surface is close to the edge area for compact design, then the structure is compact, but positioning accuracy and magnetic field symmetry deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The holding section creates a localized contact zone with specific geometric properties. The contact surface is positioned at a determined distance from the punching burrs, creating a local quality that ensures accurate magnet positioning. This localized design maintains compactness while achieving the required positioning precision through the specific geometry of the holding section.

AI summary
The invention relates to an electric drive machine having a lamellar stack (1) consisting of a plurality of lamellae (2), stacked one atop the other, and having a plurality of recesses (3), in each of which a magnet (4) is fixed. Each magnet (4) is interlockingly and frictionally fixed in the recess (3) associated therewith, in that individual layered lamellae (2) have a respective protrusion, which has an elastically deformable retaining section, formed by a turn. Said retaining section (5) limits the available cross-sectional area such that the magnet (4) can be inserted into the recess (3) against the elastic reset force of the retaining section (5). In order to prevent possible damage to the magnet (4), the retaining section (5) has a shape projecting in the direction of the recess (3), which is formed by an embossing contour. As a result, a contact surface between the retaining section (5) and the magnet (4) has a distance from a plane, defined by an edge region of the retaining section (5), which is greater than the typical extension of stamping burrs.
