Abstract

A rotor of a dynamoelectric machine is provided, the rotor comprising a shaft, an essentially cylindrical armature, an armature coil comprising aluminum coil wires and a drum commutator, which comprises an insulating support body and conductor segments which are attached to said support body and fixed therein by means of armature sections. Said conductor segments each comprise a copper running surface area and a connection area made of aluminum or a metal which can be soldered with aluminum (aluminum-compatible metal) having a soldering tag which greatly projects over the brush running surface. Said coil wires are soldered to the end side to the soldering tag of the respectively associated conductor segments and to be precise, without directly contacting the areas of the running surface.

Claims

1. A rotor (4) of a dynamoelectric machine comprising a shaft (5), a cylindrical armature (6), an armature winding (7) and a drum commutator (8), which comprises an insulating support member (9) and conductor segments (10), which are attached thereto and anchored in the support member (9) by means of armature portions (17), and to which the winding wires (11) are attached in electrically conducting relationship, wherein:

the winding wires (11) consist of aluminum;

the conductor segments (10) respectively have a running-surface region (18) consisting of copper and a terminal region (21) consisting of aluminum or a metal that can be welded to aluminum (aluminum-compatible metal);

the armature portions (17) consist completely of copper and are respectively part of a uniform copper structure (19) that also comprises the respective associated running-surface region (18);

the terminal region (21) comprises respectively a massive terminal lug (20), which projects radially relative to the brush running surface;

the conductor segments (10) are stamped out of a strand-like two-component profile (60), which was formed by durably joining a copper sub-profile (61) and an aluminum sub-profile (62);

the winding wires (11) are welded at the end to the terminal lug (20) of the respectively associated conductor segment (10), without being in direct contact with the running-surface regions (18); and

the terminal lugs (20) each respectively have a recess for receiving the end of at least one winding wire (11).

2. The rotor of claim 1, wherein the conductor segments (10) with a transition zone from copper to aluminum-compatible metal parallel to the commutator axis respectively contain a two-component extrusion profile.

3. The rotor of claim 2, wherein the two-component extrusion profile is a co-extrusion profile, which is produced by simultaneous extrusion of copper and aluminum-compatible metal through a common nozzle (43).

4. The rotor of claim 2, wherein the two-component extrusion profile is produced by extruding aluminum-compatible metal onto a copper basic profile (48).

5. The rotor of claim 4, wherein after extrusion of aluminum-compatible metal onto the copper basic profile (48), mechanical post-processing of the transition zone is carried out.

6. The rotor of claim 1, wherein the two-component extrusion profile is produced from a symmetric three-zone extrusion profile (52) by halving.

7. The rotor of claim 1, wherein the end of at least one winding wire (11) is welded directly to a radial outer face, which is not provided with any recess, of the terminal lug (20) in question.
