Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to a synchronous machine with hybridenergisation, in particular a generator for supplying the electrical system of a motor vehicle, comprising a laminated stator ( 16 ) with a multiphase stator winding ( 18 ) and a laminated rotor ( 20 ) with an energizer winding ( 29 ), which together with permanent magnets ( 24,25 ) around the rotor periphery, provides the energisation for the machine. According to the invention, favorable electrical and magnetic properties and an improvement in manufacturing conditions of the machine can be achieved, wherein the grooves ( 40 ) for the energiser windings ( 29 ) are disproportionately enlarged in relation to the groove base ( 44 ) and are preferably bell-shaped.

The electric machine as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the groove base ( 44 ) is curved in a circular shape and is concentric with respect to a passage opening ( 46 ) in a rotor shaft ( 27 ). 5. The electric machine as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that lateral groove walls ( 39 ) are curved toward a groove center. 6. The electric machine as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that an iron cross section of the rotor ( 20 ) along lateral groove walls ( 39 ) is substantially adapted to the respective size of the magnetic flux. 7. The electric machine as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the grooves ( 40 ) are configured substantially in the shape of a bell. 8. The electric machine as claimed in claim 1 , characterized in that the rotor ( 20 ) has, in addition to electric excitation means, four, six or eight permanent magnets ( 24 , 25 ) on its circumference. 9.
