Abstract
An electric direct current motor is disclosed which includes a shaft, a winding support, a collector having several collector wires, and an air-cored outer rotor winding with several winding terminations. The outer rotor winding is at one end connected to the shaft via the winding support in a torque-proof manner, and is electrically connected with the collector. The winding support can be replaced by a printed circuit board as a bearing component of glass-fiber reinforced thermosetting plastics, wherein the printed circuit board includes at least one layer and is connected to the shaft via a metal hub.
Claims9
An electric direct current motor comprising:
- a shaft;
- a winding support;
- a multilayer printed circuit board;
- a collector with several collector wires;
- and
- an air-cored outer rotor winding with several winding terminations, wherein the outer rotor winding is connected at one end to the shaft via the winding support in a torque-proof manner, and the outer rotor winding is electrically connected to the collector, and wherein the printed circuit board is a winding bearing component of glass-fiber reinforced thermosetting plastics is connected with the shaft via a metal hub,
- wherein the metal hub is positively embedded with at least one radial groove and/or radial tongue in the multilayer printed circuit board.
A method for manufacturing an electric direct current motor having a shaft;
- a winding support;
- a multilayer printed circuit board;
- a collector with several collector wires;
- and an air-cored outer rotor winding with several winding terminations, wherein the outer rotor winding is connected at one end to the shaft via the winding support in a torque-proof manner, and the outer rotor winding is electrically connected to the collector, and wherein the multilayer printed circuit board is a winding bearing component of glass-fiber reinforced thermosetting plastics and is connected with the shaft via a metal hub, wherein the metal hub is positively embedded with at least one radial groove and/or radial tongue in the multilayer printed circuit board, and wherein for assembling the rotor, the method comprises:
- pressing first the multilayer printed circuit board with the metal hub onto the shaft;
- subsequently welding the metal hub and the shaft to each other;
- placing the collector with the collector wires as a separate unit onto the shaft;
- electrically connecting the collector wires to a pertaining winding termination via respective suited contact surfaces after the outer rotor winding has been placed;
- and
- subsequently casting electrical and mechanical connection points with a casting compound.
