BUSBAR BASE PLATE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240055926 titled 'BUSBAR BASE PLATE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a stator assembly for an electric machine, including stator leads, a busbar assembly, and an alignment plate.
- Stator assembly includes stator leads extending from one end of the stator core.
- Busbar assembly consists of a busbar body supporting lead connectors connected to stator leads.
- Alignment plate is placed between the stator assembly and busbar assembly.
- Alignment plate has a rigid base plate with openings aligned with stator leads for close running fit.
- Potential Applications:**
- Electric machines
- Motors
- Generators
- Problems Solved:**
- Ensures proper alignment and connection of stator leads to busbar assembly
- Provides stability and support for lead connectors
- Benefits:**
- Improved efficiency of electric machines
- Enhanced reliability of connections
- Simplified assembly process
Original Abstract Submitted
a stator assembly of an electric machine includes of stator leads extending outward from one end of the stator core. a busbar assembly includes a busbar body supporting a plurality of lead connectors that are connected to corresponding stator leads. an alignment plate is interposed between the stator assembly and the busbar assembly. the alignment plate includes a rigid base plate having a planar bottom face supported on the top surface of the end turns and an opposite top face supporting the busbar body. the base plate defines a plurality of openings corresponding to the plurality of stator leads and arranged to be aligned with the stator leads. one or more of the stator leads extends through a corresponding one of the plurality of openings. each of the openings is sized and configured for a close running fit with the stator lead or leads extending therethrough.
