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 in the stator, and each concentric circle forms a layer. In each case, six 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 6n-1 layer, wherein n is an integer. A second pin of the winding is located in a second slot in the 6n layer. A third pin of the winding is located in the first slot in the 6n-2 layer. A fourth pin of the winding is located in the second slot in the 6n-3 layer. A fifth pin is located in the first slot in the 6n-5 layer. A sixth pin of the winding is located in the second slot in the 6n-4 layer.

The stator according to claim 1 , wherein the stator has a first end face and a second end face; and the first pin and the second pin are connected to one another on the second end face by means of a first connection type; the second pin and the third pin are connected to one another on the first end face by means of a second connection type; the third pin and the fourth pin are connected to one another on the second end face by means of a third connection type; the fourth pin and the fifth pin are connected to one another on the first end face by means of a fourth connection type; the fifth pin and the sixth pin are connected to one another on the second end face by means of a fifth connection type; wherein the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth connection types differ from one another. 3. The stator according to claim 2 , wherein the second connection type comprises a first double pin, which is formed from the second pin and the third pin, wherein the first double pin has two inwardly-bent pin feet with weld points, and bridges first radial distance. 4. The stator according to claim 2 , wherein the fourth connection type comprises a second double pin, which is formed from the fourth pin and the fifth pin wherein the second double pin has two inwardly-bent pin feet with weld points, and bridges first radial distance. 5. The stator according to claim 2 , wherein the sixth connection type comprises a third double pin, which is formed from the sixth pin and a seventh or ninth pin, wherein the third double pin has two outwardly-bent pin feet with weld points, and bridges first radial distance. 6. The stator according to claim 2 , wherein the first connection type is formed by a weld connection of a first weld point on a pin foot of a third double pin or of a fourth double pin or of a first single pin to a second weld point on a pin foot of a first double pin or of a fifth double pin or of a third single pin. 7. The stator according to claim 2 , wherein the third connection type is formed by a weld connection of a third weld point on a pin foot of a first double pin or of a fifth double pin to a fourth weld point on a pin foot of a second double pin. 8. The stator according to claim 2 , wherein the fifth connection type is formed by a weld connection of a fifth weld point on a pin foot of a second double pin to a sixth weld point on a pin foot of a third double pin or of a fourth double pin or of a second single pin. 9. The stator according to claim 1 , wherein the stator has at least two windings and at least the sixth pin in the second slot is connected to a seventh pin in the 6n-1 layer in a third slot by means of a sixth connection type. 10. The stator according to claim 9 , wherein a same first distance lies between the third slot and the second slot as lies between the second slot and the first slot. 11. The stator according to claim 9 , wherein the stator has a plurality of windings, which extend across an entire circumference of the stator and thereby form a partial coil. 12. The stator according to claim 11 , wherein one pin from three partial coils is connected to one another by means of a seventh connection type or an eighth connection type and forms a coil. 13. The stator according to claim 12 , wherein inputs of end pins from two coils are connected to one another by means of a ninth connection type. 14. The stator according to claim 12 , wherein the seventh connection type comprises a fourth double pin, which is formed from a second or fourth end pin and a third or fifth end pin, wherein the fourth double pin has two outwardly-bent pin feet with weld points, and bridges second radial distance. 15.

The stator according to claim 1 , wherein a first single pin comprises a first end pin and has a pin foot bent in a clockwise direction with a weld point. 17. The stator according to claim 1 , wherein a second single pin comprises a sixth end pin and has a pin foot bent in a counterclockwise direction with a weld point. 18. The stator according to claim 1 , wherein a third single pin comprises a seventh end pin and has a pin foot bent in a counterclockwise direction with a weld point. 19. The stator according to claim 1 , wherein a fourth single pin comprises a twelfth end pin and has a pin foot bent in a clockwise direction with a weld point. 20. A vehicle with an electric machine with the stator according to claim 1 . 21. A stator for an electric machine comprising: a plurality of pins, which are arranged on concentric circles at different distances to a stator center in slots in the stator, the concentric circles forming different layers from outwards to inwards; and a winding, wherein six pins are arranged in the different layers and are serially connected to one another to form the winding, a first pin of the winding is located in a first slot in a 6n-1 layer, wherein n is an integer; a second pin of the winding is located in a second slot in a 6n layer, wherein a second slot has a first circumferential distance to the first slot in a first circumferential direction of the stator; a third pin of the winding is located in the first slot in a 6n-2 layer; a fourth pin of the winding is located in the second slot in a 6n-3 layer; a fifth pin of the winding is located in the first slot in a 6n-5 layer; and a sixth pin of the winding is located in the second slot in a 6n-4 layer, wherein the stator has at least two windings and at least the sixth pin in the second slot is connected to a seventh pin in the 6n-1 layer in a third slot by means of a sixth connection type, wherein the stator has a plurality of windings, which extend across an entire circumference of the stator and thereby form a partial coil, wherein one pin from three partial coils is connected to one another by means of a seventh connection type or an eighth connection type and forms a coil, and wherein the partial coils form six coils, and these are assigned to three phases in such a way that in each case the pins from two coils, which are assigned to a same phase, and are located in three adjacent slots.
