US 11,777,345 B2 · Securing of stator segments

Abstract

A stator of a directly driven wind power generator includes a stator support including flanges with bores and stator segments positioned on the flanges, when viewed in a circumferential direction. Each stator segment includes a segment support having recesses. At least two securing devices for each of the stator segments secure the stator segment to the flanges. Each securing device includes a bore part insertable in a corresponding one of the recesses, a shim, and an alignment pin insertable in a corresponding one of the bores of the flanges, so that the stator segment is positioned and secured vertically via the bore part and the alignment pin and via the shim to thereby realize a uniform air gap between the stator and a rotor of the wind power generator.
