Abstract

The present invention relates to an electric machine, in particular a brushless permanent magnet motor, comprising a stator which comprises a plurality of teeth having at least one needle-wound winding strand, the at least one winding strand having at least two windings on adjacent teeth which are arranged in series, the at least two windings each comprising at least one winding layer, a needle channel being provided which is formed between the at least two windings by a crossing portion of the at least two windings and is filled at least in part. The present invention further relates to a method for winding a coil of an electric machine.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An electric machine comprising:
a stator which comprises a plurality of teeth having at least one needle-wound winding strand comprising a winding wire, the at least one winding strand having at least two windings on adjacent teeth comprising a first tooth and a second tooth which are arranged in series, the at least two windings each comprising at least two winding layers, wherein the winding wire is wound around the first tooth in a first winding direction, a winding chamber is filled with a winding portion between the first tooth and a needle channel that is provided between the first tooth and the second tooth, the winding wire is continued to the adjacently positioned second tooth as a wire bridge and wound around it in a second winding direction opposite the first winding direction, wherein the winding chamber between the second tooth and the needle channel is filled with a winding portion of the second winding, the winding wire is wound both around the second tooth and around the first tooth in a figure of eight as a third and last winding layer, wherein a first crossing portion of the winding wire is passed from the second tooth through the winding chamber back through the needle channel again towards the first tooth and passed further around the first tooth as far as the needle channel, the needle channel is subsequently passed through by a second crossing portion of the winding wire, the second crossing portion of the winding wire crossing the first crossing portion in the needle channel, the winding wire is subsequently wound further around the second tooth to complete the figure of eight, the first and second crossing portions fill the needle channel completely and form a crossing portion.

2. The machine of claim 1 , wherein the stator comprises twelve or 12+n*6 grooves, wherein n is a natural number.

3. The machine of claim 1 , wherein the machine is a brushless permanent magnet motor.
