Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A rotor for an electric machine includes at least one rotor laminated core that has at least one coil receiving opening, at least one coil device which is located in the at least one coil receiving opening, and at least one holding device which is joined to the rotor laminated core and prevents an outward movement, brought about by centrifugal force, of the at least one coil device in the radial extension direction of the rotor and out of the at least one coil receiving opening during normal use of the electric machine. The at least one holding device includes a first holding element which is joined to the rotor laminated core and at least partially closes the at least one coil receiving opening outwardly in the radial extension direction and thus prevents the movement and at least one second holding element which is joined to the rotor laminated core and is located between the first holding element and a rotational axis of the rotor in the radial extension direction and supports at least one coil device part of the at least one coil device against the movement brought about by centrifugal force.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . A rotor for an electric machine, the rotor comprising: at least one rotor laminated core, which has at least one coil receiving opening; at least one coil device, which is arranged in the at least one coil receiving opening; and at least one holding device, which is joined to the rotor laminated core and configured to prevent a centrifugal-force-induced movement of the at least one coil device outward in a radial direction of the rotor and out of the at least one coil receiving opening; wherein the at least one holding device includes a first holding element which is joined to the rotor laminated core, closes the at least one coil receiving opening outward at least in certain regions in the radial direction and thereby prevents the centrifugal-force-induced movement, and includes at least one second holding element which is joined to the rotor laminated core, is arranged in the radial direction between the first holding element and a rotational axis of the rotor and supports at least one coil device part of the at least one coil device against the centrifugal-force-induced movement; wherein the at least one coil device includes at least two coils, of which a first coil is supported in relation to the centrifugal-force-induced movement by the first holding element and a second coil is supported in relation thereto by the second holding element; and wherein the second holding element is in engagement with a coil connection region of the at least one coil device, the coil connection region connecting the at least two coils to one another. 2 . The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first holding element and the second holding element is connected to the rotor laminated core in a form-fitting manner. 3 . The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one coil receiving opening is configured as a slot, and at least one of the first holding element and the second holding element is configured as a slot closing wedge. 4 . The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the first holding element is in contact against a larger contact surface of the rotor laminated core than the second holding element. 5 . The rotor according to claim 1 , wherein the holding elements are formed from different materials from one another. 6 . The rotor according to claim 5 , wherein the first holding element includes a metallic material and the second holding element includes a plastic.
