Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A stator for an electric machine includes a plurality of pins arranged on concentric circles at different distances to a stator center in slots, and each concentric circle forms a layer. In each case, four pins in different layers are serially connected to one another and form a winding. A first pin of the winding is located in a first slot in the 4n−1 layer, wherein n is an integer. A second pin of the winding is located in a second slot in the 4n layer, wherein the second slot has a first radial distance to the first slot in a first circumferential direction of the stator. A third pin of the winding is located in a third slot in the 4n−2 layer, wherein the third slot lies adjacent to the first slot. A fourth pin of the winding is located in a fourth slot in the 4n−3 layer.

The invention claimed is: 1. A stator ( 1 ) for an electric machine ( 100 ) comprising: a plurality of pins ( 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ), which are arranged on concentric circles at different distances to a stator center (M) in slots ( 51 - 58 , 91 - 98 ) in the stator ( 1 ), and each concentric circle forms a layer (L 1 , L 2 , L 3 , L 4 ), wherein in each case four pins ( 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 ) in different layers (L 1 , L 2 , L 3 , L 4 ) are serially connected to one another and form a winding ( 41 ), a first pin ( 21 ) of the winding ( 41 ) is located in a first slot ( 51 ) in the 4n−1 layer (L 3 ), wherein n is an integer, a second pin ( 22 ) of the winding ( 41 ) is located in a second slot ( 58 ) in the 4n layer (L 4 ), wherein the second slot ( 58 ) has a first radial distance ( 11 ) to the first slot ( 51 ) in a first circumferential direction of the stator ( 1 ), a third pin ( 23 ) of the winding ( 41 ) is located in a third slot ( 91 ) in the 4n−2 layer (L 2 ), wherein the third slot ( 91 ) lies adjacent to the first slot ( 51 ), a fourth pin ( 24 ) of the winding ( 41 ) is located in a fourth slot ( 98 ) in the 4n−3 layer (L 1 ), wherein the fourth slot ( 98 ) lies adjacent to the second slot ( 58 ). 2. The stator ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the third and fourth slots ( 91 , 98 ) preferably lie on a same adjacent side of the first and second slots ( 51 , 58 ) in the circumferential direction. 3. The stator ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the first radial distance ( 11 ) lies between the first slot ( 51 ) and the second slot ( 58 ) and also between the third slot ( 91 ) and the fourth slot ( 98 ), a second distance ( 13 ) lies between the third slot ( 91 ) and the second slot ( 58 ), wherein the second distance ( 13 ) is smaller than. 4. The stator ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the stator ( 1 ) has a first end face ( 7 ) and a second end face ( 9 ); and the first pin ( 21 ) and the second pin ( 22 ) are connected to one another on the second end face ( 9 ) by means of a first connection type ( 61 ); the second pin ( 22 ) and the third pin ( 23 ) are connected to one another on the first end face ( 7 ) by means of a second connection type ( 62 ); the third pin ( 23 ) and the fourth pin ( 24 ) are connected to one another on the second end face ( 9 ) by means of a third connection type ( 63 ); wherein the first, second, and third connection types differ from one another. 5. The stator ( 1 ) according to claim 1 , wherein the stator ( 1 ) has at least two windings ( 41 , 42 , 43 ) and at least the fourth pin ( 24 ) in the fourth slot ( 98 , 96 , 94 ) is connected to a fifth pin ( 25 ) in the 4n−1 layer (L 3 ) in a fifth slot ( 57 ) by means of a fourth connection type ( 64 ). 6. The stator ( 1 ) according to claim 5 , wherein the stator ( 1 ) has a plurality of windings ( 41 , 42 ), which extend across the entire circumference of the stator ( 1 ) and thereby form a partial coil. 7. The stator ( 1 ) according to claim 6 , wherein one pin ( 28 , 31 , 28 a , 31 a ) in each case from two partial coils is connected to another by means of a fifth connection type ( 65 ) or a sixth connection type ( 66 ) and form a coil ( 201 , 202 ). 8. The stator ( 1 ) according to claim 7 , wherein the partial coils form six coils, and these are assigned to three phases in such a way that in each case two coils, which are assigned to a same phase, are located in three adjacent slots ( 51 - 58 , 71 - 78 , 91 - 98 ) and thereby in each case two layers of the two outer slots ( 71 - 78 , 91 - 98 ) are occupied by pins from other phases. 9. The stator ( 1 ) according to claim 8 , wherein one input ( 81 , 101 , 111 , 87 , 107 , 117 ) from at least two coils ( 201 , 202 ) are connected to one another by means of a seventh connection type. 10. The stator ( 1 ) according to claim 9 , wherein in each case one output ( 83 , 103 , 113 , 85 , 105 , 115 ) from at least two coils ( 201 , 202 ) are connected to one another, and the two coils ( 201 , 202 ) are thus switched in parallel, and, in particular, are assigned to one phase. 11. A vehicle ( 403 ) with an electric machine ( 401 ) with a stator ( 1 ) according to claim 1 .
