Abstract

An insulation arrangement for the stator of an electric motor with several stator coils, wherein a respective coil separating element is arranged between adjacent stator coils and the coil separating elements are respectively connected at their ends via an annular lower coil separating element connector and an annular upper coil separating element connector, wherein the connection of the coil separating elements to the coil separating element connectors is embodied as a positive latching connection in combination with an electrically insulating material connection.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An insulation arrangement for a stator of an electric motor with a plurality of stator coils, wherein a respective one of coil separating elements is arranged between adjacent ones of the stator coils and the coil separating elements are respectively connected at ends thereof via annular lower coil separating element connectors and annular upper coil separating element connectors, wherein connection of the coil separating elements to the lower coil separating element connectors and the upper coil separating element connectors is embodied as a positive latching connection in combination with an electrically insulating material connection, wherein the lower coil separating element connectors and the upper coil separating element connectors are formed to be cylindrical with serrated axially extending guide elements for the coil separating elements, and wherein the guide elements of the lower coil separating element connectors and the upper coil separating element connectors are spaced from each other and the part of the coil separating element is disposed between the guide elements of the lower coil separating element connectors and the upper coil separating element connectors.

2 . The insulation arrangement according to claim 1 wherein the coil separating elements have a guide element receiving region in end regions facing the lower coil separating element connectors and the upper coil separating element connectors.

3 . The insulation arrangement according to claim 2 , wherein the guide elements of the lower coil separating element connectors and the upper coil separating element connectors and the guide element receiving region of the coil separating elements are embodied in a press fit.

4 . The insulation arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the coil separating element has a latching element receptacle and the lower coil separating element connectors and the upper coil separating element connectors have a corresponding latching element, wherein the latching connection is formed acting in a radial direction.

5 . The insulation arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the latching connection is formed by a latching element receptacle on the coil separating element and a latching element embodied as a latching lug on the lower coil separating element connectors and the upper coil separating element connectors, wherein a guide groove for axial guidance is additionally formed in the lower coil separating element connectors and the upper coil separating element connectors.

6 . The insulation arrangement according to claim 5 , wherein the latching lug is formed as a web and the latching element receptacle is formed as a groove in a corresponding manner.

7 . The insulation arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein the material connection is embodied with epoxy resin.

8 . The insulation arrangement according to claim 1 , wherein contact surface widening regions for larger-area adhesive regions are formed between the guide elements.

9 . A method for mounting the insulation arrangement according to claim 1 in the stator of the electric motor, wherein the plate-shaped coil separating elements are respectively positioned in an axial direction at the ends between the lower coil separating element connectors and the upper coil separating element connectors and thereby enter into the latching connection, wherein an electrically insulating substance which forms the material connection between the plate-shaped coil separating elements and the lower coil separating element connectors and the upper coil separating element connectors is introduced into contact regions between the plate-shaped coil separating elements and the lower coil separating element connectors and the upper coil separating element connectors.

10 . The method according to claim 9 , wherein the electrically insulating substance is introduced by a vacuum pressure process method.
