Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An electrical machine includes a rotor with a plurality of winding slots in which wire windings are arranged. A pair of covering slides is associated with each winding slot, wherein each covering slide has a closure wall, and the closure walls of the pairs of covering slides close the winding slots which are associated with them on that side of the winding slots which faces radially outward. Mutually facing longitudinal ends of the closure walls of the same pair of covering slides overlap in the assembled state in such a way that the closure walls of the same pair of covering slides overlap only in sections.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An electrical machine, comprising: a rotor with a plurality of winding slots in which wire windings are arranged; a pair of covering slides associated with each winding slot, wherein each covering slide has a closure wall, and the closure walls of the pairs of covering slides close the winding slots which are associated with them on a side of the winding slots which faces radially outward, and mutually facing longitudinal ends of the closure walls of a same pair of covering slides overlap in an assembled state such that the closure walls of the same pair of covering slides overlap only in sections and a gap is formed between surfaces of the closure walls of the same pair that face radially outward. 2. The electrical machine according to claim 1 , wherein the closure walls of a pair of covering slides each have a first longitudinal section and a second longitudinal section, the second longitudinal section has a smaller maximum thickness than the first longitudinal section, measured along a radial direction of the rotor, and the respective second longitudinal sections of the pair of covering slides face one another. 3. The electrical machine according to claim 2 , wherein in the assembled state of the pair of covering slides, the second longitudinal sections of a pair of covering slides overlap in sections, and in the overlapping region, a thickness of the two second longitudinal sections together is not greater than 110% of a maximum thickness of the first longitudinal sections, measured along a radial direction of the rotor. 4. The electrical machine according to claim 3 , wherein the closure wall, at a transition from the first longitudinal section to the second longitudinal section, continues into the second longitudinal section with half of the cross section of the first longitudinal section. 5. The electrical machine according to claim 2 , wherein the closure wall, at a transition from the first longitudinal section to the second longitudinal section, continues into the second longitudinal section with half of the cross section of the first longitudinal section. 6. The electrical machine according to claim 1 , wherein the closure wall of each covering slide has a rectangular cross section. 7. The electrical machine according to claim 1 , wherein the covering slides each have two side walls which extend from the closure wall into the winding slot and are connected to one another on a side which is averted from the closure wall. 8. The electrical machine according to claim 1 , wherein the covering slides each have a side wall which is connected to the closure wall in cross section perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the covering slides, at both ends and therebetween extends into the winding slot in the form of an arc. 9. A motor vehicle comprising an electrical machine according to claim 1 .
