Abstract

A method for producing a housing arrangement for a an electric machine provides a closure part and a carrier part. An opening of the carrier part is placed onto a spigot on the closure part. The spigot is shaped to engage behind the carrier part. A housing arrangement for an electric machine is also provided. The housing arrangement has a closure part and a carrier part fixedly connected to the closure part.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for producing a housing arrangement for an electric machine, the method comprising:
providing a closure part having at least one spigot, the closure part being produced from metal,
providing a carrier part having at least one opening, the carrier part being produced from synthetic material,
placing the at least one opening of the carrier part onto the at least one spigot on the closure part, and
shaping the at least one spigot by wobble riveting or radial riveting to form a head which fixedly connects the carrier part to the closure part.

2. The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein the closure part is formed as one piece with the at least one spigot.

3. The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein the at least one opening of the carrier part is formed as a through-opening in a region of an indentation in the carrier part.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
providing a housing part and shaping a region of the closure part so as to form an indent in order thereby to press material of the closure part against the housing part for a non-positive connection between the closure part and the housing part.

5. The method according to claim 4 ,
wherein the closure part, to which the carrier part is fixedly connected by means of the shaping of the at least one spigot, is inserted into a receiving region of the housing part before the step of shaping the region of the closure part so as to form the indent and the closure part is clamped to the receiving region by means of the step of shaping the region of the closure part so as to form the indent.

6. The method according to claim 4 ,
wherein the closure part is formed with at least one lug which engages into a corresponding recess in the housing part, wherein the indent is formed in the lug.

7. The method according to claim 4 ,
wherein the housing part is formed as a motor housing case.

8. The method according to claim 1 ,
wherein the closure part is formed as a bearing plate and/or the carrier part is formed as a brush carrier part.
