Abstract

An electric motor having a stator, in particular for an electrical machine, comprising a shell body which encloses an essentially cylindrical cavity with an axis, and at least one auxiliary adjustment device fixed to an end face of the shell body.

First claim

1 . An electric motor comprising:
a stator including a shell body substantially-enclosing cylindrical cavity defining an axis; a first auxiliary adjustment device attached to an end face of the shell body; and a further component including a housing including a coupling element, wherein the first auxiliary adjustment device and the coupling element cooperatively form a fastening device.

2 . The electric motor of claim 1 ,
wherein the first auxiliary adjustment device includes a projection formed integrally with the shell body and spring-loaded in a plane perpendicular to the axis.

3 . The electric motor of claim 1 ,
wherein the first auxiliary adjustment device includes a recess defined by the shell body.

4 . The electric motor of claim 3 ,
wherein the first auxiliary adjustment device includes a spring element disposed within the recess of the shell body and biased in a plane perpendicular to the axis.

5 . The electric motor of claim 3 ,
wherein the first auxiliary adjustment device includes a clamping element configured to be inserted into and protrude from the recess and wherein the clamping element is spring-loaded in a plane perpendicular to the axis.

6 . The electric motor of claim 5 ,
wherein the clamping element is a clamping sleeve.

7 . The electric motor of claim 1 ,
further comprising: a second auxiliary adjustment device and a third auxiliary adjustment device each attached to the end face and arranged rotationally symmetrically about the axis.

8 . The electric motor of claim 7 ,
further comprising: a rotor configured to rotate about the stator; and a rotor shaft extending from the rotor and coupled to the further component.

9 . The electric motor of claim 7 ,
wherein the second auxiliary adjustment device includes a clamping element, wherein the clamping element biases the stator towards the further component from a side of the stator opposite the further component.

10 . An oil pump comprising:
a pump housing defining a first recess and a second recess; a stator; and a shell body circumferentially surrounding the stator and including a first projection and a second projection each integrally formed to the shell body and extending from a face of the shell body, and wherein the first projection is disposed in the first recess and the second projection is disposed in the second recess.

11 . The oil pump of claim 10 , wherein the first projection and the second projection are each tapered between the face and a distal end of the first projection and the second projection.

12 . The oil pump of claim 10 , wherein the first projection and the second projection each have a cuboid shape.

13 . The oil pump of claim 12 , wherein the first projection and the second projection each have a rectangular cuboid shape.

14 . The oil pump of claim 10 , wherein the pump housing includes an end face, wherein the end face defines the first recess and the second recess.

15 . The oil pump of claim 14 , wherein the first recess and the second recess are each tapered from the end face to a bottom portion of the first recess and the second recess.

16 . An oil pump for use in a vehicle comprising:
a pump housing including a first end defining a first number of recesses; a coupling element configured to be coupled to a portion of the vehicle and including a second end defining a second number of recesses; a stator disposed between the pump housing and the coupling element; and a shell body circumferentially surrounding and attached to the stator, wherein the shell body includes,
a third end lying along the first end of the pump housing,
a first number of projections each integrally formed to and extending from the third end and disposed in each of the first number of recesses,
a fourth end lying along the second end of the coupling element, and
a second number of projections integrally formed to and extending from the fourth end and disposed in each of the second number of recesses.

17 . The oil pump of claim 16 , wherein a quantity of the first number of projections and a quantity of the second number of projections equal one another.

18 . The oil pump of claim 17 , wherein the quantity of the first number of projections is greater than or equal to four.

19 . The oil pump of claim 18 , wherein each of the projections of the first number or projections or the second number of projections are equidistantly spaced apart from one another.

20 . The oil pump of claim 19 , wherein at least some of the first number of projections, the second number of projections, the first number of recesses, or the second number of recesses are tapered so that the stator is substantially centered with respect to the pump housing or the coupling element or both the pump housing and the coupling element.
