ROTOR FOR AN ELECTRIC MACHINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18409629 titled 'ROTOR FOR AN ELECTRIC MACHINE
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a rotor for an electric machine with a core stack and a coolant outlet for cooling the stator winding heads. The rotor includes a coolant conducting structure that spins off the coolant radially outward towards the winding heads using centrifugal force.
- The rotor for an electric machine has a core stack fastened to a rotor shaft.
- A coolant outlet is provided at the axial end-face side of the core stack.
- A coolant conducting structure on the axial core stack end-face side spins off the coolant towards the winding heads.
- The coolant conducting structure is a single-material and/or one-piece integral part of the rotor.
- The design allows for efficient centrifugal cooling of the stator winding heads.

Original Abstract Submitted
A rotor for an electric machine including a rotor shaft and a core stack fastened thereto, at least one coolant outlet being provided at the axial end-face side of the core stack. For centrifugal cooling of the winding heads of the stator of the electric machine, a coolant conducting structure is provided at the axial core stack end-face side, via which the coolant exiting from the coolant outlet is spun off radially outwardly in the direction of the winding heads as the result of centrifugal force. The coolant conducting structure is designed as a single-material and/or one-piece integral part of the rotor, in particular the rotor core stack.
