Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A brush-commutated direct-current motor comprises a stator which includes a plurality of exciter poles, a rotor rotatable relative to the stator about an axis of rotation, a plurality of pole teeth arranged on the rotor, and grooves arranged between the pole teeth, wherein the pole teeth are separated from each other by the grooves along a circumferential direction around the axis of rotation. On the pole teeth coil windings are arranged. A commutator is arranged on the rotor and includes a plurality of lamellae, wherein each coil winding is connected with one of the lamellae via a first connecting arm and is connected with another one of the lamellae via a second connecting arm.

The invention claimed is: 1. A brush-commutated direct-current motor, comprising a stator which has a plurality of exciter poles, a rotor rotatable relative to the stator about an axis of rotation, a plurality of pole teeth arranged on the rotor, grooves arranged between the pole teeth, wherein the pole teeth are separated from each other by the grooves along a circumferential direction around the axis of rotation, coil windings arranged on the pole teeth, and a commutator which is arranged on the rotor and includes a plurality of lamellae, wherein each coil winding is connected with one of the lamellae via a first connecting arm and is connected with another one of the lamellae via a second connecting arm, wherein each pole tooth carries a first coil winding wound around the pole tooth in a first winding direction and a second coil winding wound around the pole tooth in a second winding direction opposite to the first winding direction, wherein the first connecting arm and/or the second connecting arm of the first coil winding is laid around at least one other pole tooth towards a respectively associated lamella. 2. The brush-commutated direct-current motor according to claim 1 , wherein the first winding arm of the first coil winding is laid around exactly one pole tooth adjacent to the associated pole tooth in circumferential direction and the second winding arm of the first coil winding is laid around exactly one pole tooth adjacent to the associated pole tooth against the circumferential direction. 3. The brush-commutated direct-current motor according to claim 1 , wherein the first connecting arm of the first coil winding extends through a first groove adjacent to the associated pole tooth in the circumferential direction, around a pole tooth adjacent to the associated pole tooth in the circumferential direction, and through a second groove different from the first groove towards an associated first lamella. 4. The brush-commutated direct-current motor according to claim 1 , wherein the second connecting arm of the first coil winding extends through a third groove adjacent to the associated pole tooth against the circumferential direction, around a pole tooth adjacent to the associated pole tooth against the circumferential direction, and through a fourth groove different from the third groove towards an associated second lamella. 5. The brush-commutated direct-current motor according to claim 1 , wherein the first connecting arm and the second connecting arm of the second coil winding are connected to adjacent lamellae. 6. The brush-commutated direct-current motor according to claim 5 , wherein the first connecting arm of the first coil winding is connected to a first lamella which in circumferential direction is offset to the adjacent lamellae to which the connecting arms of the second coil winding are connected. 7. The brush-commutated direct-current motor according to claim 5 , wherein the second connecting arm of the first coil winding is connected to a second lamella which against the circumferential direction is offset to the adjacent lamellae to which the connecting arms of the second coil winding are connected. 8. The brush-commutated direct-current motor according to claim 1 , wherein the first connecting arm and the second connecting arm of the second coil winding intersect. 9. The brush-commutated direct-current motor according to claim 1 , wherein the number of pole teeth corresponds to an odd, integral number and the number of lamellae corresponds to twice the number of pole teeth. 10. The brush commutated direct-current motor according to claim 1 , wherein the number of exciter poles is six and the number of pole teeth is nine and the number of lamellae is 18, or the number of pole teeth is seven and the number of lamellae is 14, or the number of pole teeth is eleven and the number of lamellae is 22. 11. The brush-commutated direct-current motor according to claim 1 , that wherein the coil windings are formed as concentrated windings. 12. The brush-commutated direct-current motor according to claim 1 , further comprising jumpers for shorting two or more lamellae. 13. The brush-commutated direct-current motor according to claim 12 , wherein the jumpers for shorting two lamellae with at least one portion each are laid around at least one pole tooth by each extending from a lamella through a groove between two pole teeth, around at least one pole tooth and through another groove to another lamella. 14. The brush-commutated direct-current motor according to claim 12 , wherein the jumpers each short exactly three lamellae. 15. The brush-commutated direct-current motor according to claim 12 , wherein the coil windings and the jumpers are formed of a continuous wire. 16. The brush-commutated direct-current motor according to claim 15 , wherein between two coil windings a portion of a jumper each is formed. 17. The brush-commutated direct-current motor according to claim 15 , wherein the continuous wire forms a first coil winding, adjoining thereto a portion of a jumper, adjoining thereto a second coil winding and adjoining thereto another portion of a jumper. 18. The brush-commutated direct-current motor according to claim 1 , wherein for a first part of the pole teeth the first coil winding is wound onto the respectively associated pole tooth and the second coil winding circumferentially is wound onto the first coil winding and for a second part of the pole teeth the second coil winding is wound onto the respectively associated pole tooth and the first coil winding circumferentially is wound onto the second coil winding.
