Definitions

  • Electromagnetic stirrers are used in continuous casting plants to produce high-quality electrical steel. If the stirrer is located in the area of the so-called pouring arch, it is referred to as a strand stirrer. If the electromagnetic stirrer is installed in a roller of a segment of the continuous casting plant, it is referred to as a so-called stirrer roller.
  • the strand agitator creates a stirring force in the liquid section of the strand that moves the liquid steel horizontally along a casting production width and creates a butterfly-like flow pattern in the liquid steel.
  • the construction sees usually a pair of rollers, which acts on the strand either from both sides or side by side.
  • Such agitator rollers are, for example, from the documents US2015/0290703 A1 and US2013/0008624 A1 known.
  • These stirring rollers consist of an iron core and coil winding packs.
  • These coil winding packets consist of a wire that is wound into a large number of windings lying next to one another and layers lying one on top of the other. The wire is covered with an electrical insulation layer.
  • the current-carrying winding packages enclosing the iron core generate the magnetic flux, which depends on the number of turns and the current strength in the windings. The magnitude of the magnetic flux density in turn determines the strength of the stirring force of the electromagnetic stirrer.
  • the ohmic resistance of the windings results in a certain power loss, which is converted into heat and must be dissipated by cooling.
  • the electrical insulation layer is a poor conductor of heat, which means that the heat from the lower layers of the winding packages is poorly transported to the outside, where the heat can be dissipated particularly effectively. There is therefore the problem for a bottom layer of the winding that the maximum temperature of the insulation layer is reached after a certain time and the current intensity must therefore be limited. As a result, the stirring power is also limited accordingly.
  • the object of this invention is an electromagnetic coil assembly and a to create electromagnetic stirring roller of the type mentioned, which an effective heat dissipation - the heat generated in the coil winding packets - enables the to be able to operate the electromagnetic coil arrangement and the electromagnetic stirring roller with the highest possible performance.
  • the object is achieved with the electromagnetic coil arrangement mentioned at the outset in that the at least two coil winding packets enclose the iron core in partial areas along the first longitudinal extension.
  • the first longitudinal extension means an iron core length.
  • the coil winding packages consist of a maximum of two layers lying one on top of the other, preferably only one layer, and a large number of turns lying next to one another.
  • the respective coil winding packet thus consists of a large number of windings that are wound next to one another and of a maximum of two layers lying one on top of the other.
  • the number of turns is determined by calculations and depends on a maximum available voltage and a maximum current density at a given stirring frequency. The goal is always to provide the highest possible stirring effect, i.e. the highest possible magnetic flux density.
  • the individual windings are covered with an insulating material so that the individual windings are electrically insulated from one another.
  • the insulating material is preferably a polyimide film.
  • the coil winding packets are designed in such a way that they can be slid onto the iron core from one end face of the iron core up to an intended assembly position for assembly. When pushed on, the coil winding packets have internal dimensions which are larger than the external dimensions of the iron core in order to allow the coil winding packets to be pushed onto the iron core.
  • This embodiment is intended to enable the coil winding packages to be produced without an iron core and for the coil winding package and iron core to be assembled separately.
  • the dimensions of the coil winding packets can be increased during assembly by expansion, such as heating or twisting the windings, in order to facilitate or enable sliding.
  • the coil winding packages are ie designed in such a way that they are in a form for assembly or can be brought into a form in order to enable them to be slid onto the support tube.
  • the coil winding packages have a protective layer for protection and insulation. This protective layer completely encloses the coil winding packages.
  • the protective layer surrounds the coil winding packages in such a way that at least one outside and both lateral surfaces of the respective coil winding package are surrounded by the protective layer.
  • the fastening stubs are arranged on the face of the iron core.
  • the electrical connection contacts are each connected to at least one coil winding package.
  • a preferred arrangement of the electrical connection contacts is on the end faces of the fastening stubs.
  • the fastening stubs have bushings which make it possible to guide the electrical connection contacts to an end face of the fastening stub that can be seen from the outside.
  • the coil winding packages can then be electrically connected via the connection contacts to this end face.
  • the fastening stubs have the function of being able to mount the coil arrangement on a bearing block.
  • the design of the coil winding packages with a maximum of two layers allows the heat to be dissipated more easily. It has also been shown that by minimizing the layers - to a maximum of two - the electromagnetic flux density can be kept at a higher level over a longer period of time than is the case with an embodiment with more than two layers. The resulting heat can be dissipated better.
  • This design reduces the temperature difference between the inner layer and the outermost layer to as little as 120 Kelvin. In the preferred embodiment of the coil winding packages with only one layer, the temperature difference between inside and outside can be reduced to up to 60 Kelvin at a current density of 17 A/m 2 .
  • a particularly preferred embodiment is that the windings have a rectangular cross-section, the dimension of the winding being larger in the radial direction than in the axial direction.
  • the ratio of the dimension in the axial direction - i.e. a width of a cross section of the winding - to the dimension in the radial direction - i.e. a height of a cross section of the winding - is preferably in a range from 1/3 to 1/8, particularly preferably 1/4 to 1/6
  • the windings are therefore designed as so-called standing windings. Due to the rectangular cross section, several narrow and high windings can be arranged next to each other in order to obtain the desired number of windings and still produce a compact coil winding package. In this context, rectangular is also understood to mean that the corners can have curves, which ensure simpler assembly when assembling the coil winding arrangement.
  • a winding with a rectangular cross section and only one layer has turned out to be a particularly preferred embodiment.
  • This embodiment variant results in particularly good heat dissipation to the outside. Experiments have shown that this results in the lowest temperature difference. In this single-layer design, there are no transitions in the radial direction from the insulated winding to the insulated winding lying above it, which results in particularly good heat transport to the outside.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the iron core has at least one cooling channel.
  • the Heat generated in the iron core can be dissipated particularly effectively.
  • a protective tube with a hollow cross section, preferably a circular cross section encloses the coil winding packages.
  • the protective tube extends at least over the two coil winding packs.
  • a possible design of the protective tube is that it consists of several parts and existing joints are sealed - for example with glued metal strips.
  • the gaps between the protective tube and the coil winding packages are filled with filling compound.
  • the filling compound means that as much heat as possible is transferred to an inside of the protective tube.
  • This protective tube is made of a material with good thermal conductivity, preferably non-magnetic steel, and thus conducts the heat from an inside to an outside of the protective tube.
  • the filling compound has a thermal conductivity of greater 0.1 W m K , preferably larger 1 W m K , having.
  • the filling compound with this thermal conductivity ensures particularly good heat dissipation from the coil winding packages to the protective tube.
  • An expedient embodiment provides that the iron core is arranged in a hollow support tube with a second longitudinal extent.
  • the support tube therefore has a hollow cross section and extends along a longitudinal axis.
  • the support tube has a support tube length which is of the order of magnitude of the casting production width.
  • the iron core can be stabilized over the casting production width by the support tube.
  • the support tube has a plurality of slots along the second longitudinal extent, in particular at least two, preferably at least four, particularly preferably at least six, very particularly preferably eight slots, each having a predetermined slot area.
  • the iron core is designed in such a way that in each case a partial volume of the iron core can be pushed into one of these slots; the respective partial volumes preferably fill the respective slots completely.
  • the design with several slits has the advantage that an expansion of the tube due to possible internal mechanical stresses in the tube is prevented by means of webs located between the slits. This embodiment therefore provides for between three and ten slots to be present, which are arranged along the second longitudinal extension.
  • the iron core therefore has a partial volume for each slot, which can be pushed into the slots.
  • the bars in the iron core must also be shown as a negative, so that the partial volumes can be pushed into the respective slots.
  • a further preferred embodiment provides that cooling channels are arranged next to the iron core within the support tube. These cooling channels run close to the iron core in order to dissipate the heat generated as effectively as possible.
  • the cooling channels can be designed as a tube that is pushed into the support tube next to the iron core.
  • a further advantageous embodiment provides that the slot area is rectangular. This embodiment is preferred because it achieves the largest possible slot area.
  • the electrical connection contacts have a bolt with a bolt cross-sectional area which can transmit a required energy to the coil winding packets, and a
  • connection contacts must be able to be arranged and fastened in a very limited space. For this reason, the connection contact should, on the one hand, be able to transmit the required energy to the coil winding packets and, on the other hand, have a reliable attachment. Electrical supply cables should preferably be connected to the connection contacts using a cable lug. The cable lug is pushed onto the fastening stub, whereby this must be fixed in such a way that it has good contact with the cross-sectional area of the bolt.
  • the fastening bolt has a thread and the cable lug is pressed onto the fastening cross-sectional area by screwing on a nut. Due to the reduced mounting cross-sectional area, the contacts require less space. This design makes it possible for the connection contacts to be arranged on the end faces of the fastening stubs, despite the limited space required.
  • a particularly preferred embodiment provides that the coil winding packets closest to the fastening stubs and all coil winding packets electrically connected thereto have a higher total number of turns than a total number of turns of all other coil winding packets—each electrically connected to one another.
  • the inductance L is calculated by Equation 1, where N is the number of turns.
  • the magnetic resistance in the air gap is calculated using Equation 2, where ⁇ 0 is the permeability of vacuum and A is the cross-sectional area of the magnetic conductor.
  • Equation 3 shows the formula for the magnetic reluctance in iron, where ⁇ r is the relative permeability of the iron core.
  • Equation 1 the inductance can be changed either via the number of turns N or via the magnetic resistance R m,ges .
  • the simplest version is obtained by adapting the number of turns.
  • the coil winding packets connected to the individual electrical connection contacts should have almost the same current carrying capacity and inductance by adapting the total number of turns.
  • the electrical coil winding arrangement has three electrical connection contacts and the number of coil winding packages corresponds to a multiple of three plus two.
  • the number of coil winding packets is therefore, for example, at least five, preferably at least eight, particularly preferably at least eleven, very particularly preferably fourteen.
  • the coil winding packages closest to the fastening stubs have a smaller number of turns than the remaining coil winding packages.
  • the coil winding packets, which are arranged in the vicinity of the attachment stub, that is to say are arranged on the edge of the iron core serve as so-called compensating coil winding packets.
  • a connection contact is connected to the two coil winding packages closest to the fastening stub.
  • the number of turns of the compensating coil winding packs is greater than half the number of turns but less than the number of turns of the remaining coil winding packs.
  • Another embodiment is that two electrical connection contacts are connected to a compensating coil winding packet.
  • the electromagnetic coil winding arrangement has three electrical connection contacts.
  • the number of coil winding packages is at least three or one multiple of three.
  • the coil winding packages closest to the fastening stubs have a larger number of turns than the remaining coil winding packages.

  • the electromagnetic coil arrangement is fixed to a bearing block on both sides.
  • a cooling channel is formed between the tube and the coil arrangement, which is connected to the inflow and the outflow. The role exerts a supporting effect on the strand.
  • This arrangement results in an electromagnetic stirring roller which, with the same electrical connected load and size, achieves a greater magnetic flux and thus an increased stirring effect.
  • the roller is rotatably mounted on the bearing block on both sides.
  • This design has proven to be a particularly robust design.
  • Another embodiment is that the storage takes place on the fastening stubs.

Stand der TechnikState of the art

In Stranggussanlagen werden zur Produktion von hochqualitativen Elektrostählen elektromagnetische Rührer eingesetzt. Befindet sich der Rührer im Bereich des sogenannten Gießbogens, wird er als Strangrührer bezeichnet. Wenn der elektromagnetische Rührer in einer Rolle eines Segments der Stranggussanlage verbaut wird, spricht man von einer sogenannten Rührrolle.Electromagnetic stirrers are used in continuous casting plants to produce high-quality electrical steel. If the stirrer is located in the area of the so-called pouring arch, it is referred to as a strand stirrer. If the electromagnetic stirrer is installed in a roller of a segment of the continuous casting plant, it is referred to as a so-called stirrer roller.

Der Strang Rührer erzeugt im Flüssigbereich des Stranges eine Rührkraft, die den flüssigen stahl horizontal entlang einer Gießproduktionsbreite bewegt und ein schmetterlingsartiges Strömungsmuster im flüssigen Stahl erzeugt. Der Aufbau sieht dabei meistens ein Rollenpaar vor, welches entweder von beiden Seiten oder nebeneinander auf den Strang einwirkt. Solche Rührrollen sind beispielsweise aus den Dokumenten US2015/0290703 A1 und US2013/0008624 A1 bekannt.The strand agitator creates a stirring force in the liquid section of the strand that moves the liquid steel horizontally along a casting production width and creates a butterfly-like flow pattern in the liquid steel. The construction sees usually a pair of rollers, which acts on the strand either from both sides or side by side. Such agitator rollers are, for example, from the documents US2015/0290703 A1 and US2013/0008624 A1 known.

In den Dokumenten US 4,429,731 A , EP 2269750 A1 , SU1616770 A1 und US3,995,678 A sind Ausführungsvarianten von Rührrolle, für den Einsatz bei Stranggussanlagen, gezeigt.In the documents US 4,429,731A , EP 2269750 A1 , SU1616770 A1 and US3,995,678A Variants of agitator rollers for use in continuous casting plants are shown.

Diese Rührrollen bestehen aus einem Eisenkern und Spulenwicklungspaketen. Diese Spulenwicklungspakete bestehen aus einem Draht der zu einer Vielzahl nebeneinander liegender Windungen, sowie übereinanderliegender Lagen gewickelt werden. Der Draht ist mit einer elektrischen Isolationsschicht überzogen. Die den Eisenkern umschließenden stromdurchflossenen Wicklungspakete erzeugen den magnetischen Fluss, der von der Windungsanzahl und der Stromstärke in den Wicklungen abhängig ist. Der Betrag der magnetischen Flussdichte bestimmt wiederum die Stärke der Rührkraft des elektromagnetischen Rührers. Durch den Ohm'schen Widerstand der Wicklungen entsteht eine gewisse Verlustleistung, welche in Wärme umgewandelt wird und durch eine Kühlung abgeführt werden muss. Die elektrische Isolationsschicht ist ein schlechter Wärmeleiter, wodurch die Wärme der unteren Lagen der Wicklungspakete schlecht nach außen transportiert wird, wo die Wärme besonders effektiv abgeführt werden kann. Es besteht somit für eine unterste Lage der Wicklung das Problem, dass die Maximaltemperatur der Isolationsschicht nach einer gewissen Zeit erreicht wird und deshalb die Stromstärke begrenzt werden muss. Dies führt in weiterer Folge dazu, dass auch die Rührleistung entsprechend begrenzt wird.These stirring rollers consist of an iron core and coil winding packs. These coil winding packets consist of a wire that is wound into a large number of windings lying next to one another and layers lying one on top of the other. The wire is covered with an electrical insulation layer. The current-carrying winding packages enclosing the iron core generate the magnetic flux, which depends on the number of turns and the current strength in the windings. The magnitude of the magnetic flux density in turn determines the strength of the stirring force of the electromagnetic stirrer. The ohmic resistance of the windings results in a certain power loss, which is converted into heat and must be dissipated by cooling. The electrical insulation layer is a poor conductor of heat, which means that the heat from the lower layers of the winding packages is poorly transported to the outside, where the heat can be dissipated particularly effectively. There is therefore the problem for a bottom layer of the winding that the maximum temperature of the insulation layer is reached after a certain time and the current intensity must therefore be limited. As a result, the stirring power is also limited accordingly.

Zusammenfassung der ErfindungSummary of the Invention

Die Aufgabe dieser Erfindung besteht darin, eine elektromagnetische Spulenanordnung und eine elektromagnetische Rührrolle der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, welche eine effektive Wärmeabfuhr - der in den Spulenwicklungspaketen entstehenden Wärme - ermöglicht um die elektromagnetische Spulenanordnung und die elektromagnetische Rührrolle mit möglichst hoher Leistung betreiben zu können.The object of this invention is an electromagnetic coil assembly and a to create electromagnetic stirring roller of the type mentioned, which an effective heat dissipation - the heat generated in the coil winding packets - enables the to be able to operate the electromagnetic coil arrangement and the electromagnetic stirring roller with the highest possible performance.

Die Aufgabe wird bei der eingangs genannten elektromagnetischen Spulenanordnung dadurch gelöst, dass die zumindest zwei Spulenwicklungspakete den Eisenkern, in Teilbereichen entlang der ersten Längserstreckung, umschließen. Unter der ersten Längserstreckung ist eine Eisenkernlänge zu verstehen. Die Spulenwicklungspakete bestehen aus maximal zwei übereinanderliegenden Lagen, bevorzugt nur aus einer Lage, sowie einer Vielzahl nebeneinander liegender Windungen. Das jeweilige Spulenwicklungspaket besteht also aus einer Vielzahl von Windungen, die nebeneinander gewickelt werden und aus maximal zwei übereinander liegenden Lagen. Die Anzahl der Windungen wird durch Berechnungen ermittelt und hängt von einer maximal verfügbaren Spannung und einer maximalen Stromdichte bei einer bestimmten Rührfrequenz ab. Das Ziel ist immer eine möglichst hohe Rührwirkung, also eine möglichst hohe magnetische Flussdichte, bereitzustellen. Die einzelnen Windungen sind mit einem Isoliermaterial überzogen, damit eine elektrische Isolation der einzelnen Windungen zueinander gegeben ist. Das Isoliermaterial ist bevorzugt eine Polyimidfolie. Die Spulenwicklungspakete sind derart ausgestaltet, dass diese zur Montage auf dem Eisenkern von einer Stirnseite des Eisenkernes bis zu einer vorgesehenen Montageposition aufschiebbar sind. Die Spulenwicklungspakete weisen beim Aufschieben Innenabmessungen auf, welche größer sind als die Außenabmessungen des Eisenkerns um ein aufschieben der Spulenwicklungspakete auf den Eisenkern zu erlauben. Diese Ausführung soll ermöglichen, dass die Spulenwicklungspakete ohne Eisenkern hergestellt werden können und ein Zusammenbau von Spulenwicklungspaket und Eisenkern separat erfolgen kann. Die Spulenwicklungspakete können während der Montage durch Aufweitung, wie beispielsweise Erwärmen oder Aufdrehen der Windungen, in ihren Abmessungen vergrößert werden um das Aufschieben zu erleichtern oder ermöglichen. Die Spulenwicklungspakete sind also so ausgestaltet, dass diese zur Montage in einer Form sind oder in eine Form gebracht werden können um das Aufschieben auf das Stützrohr zu ermöglichen. Die Spulenwicklungspakete weisen zum Schutz und für die Isolation eine Schutzschicht auf. Diese Schutzschicht umschließt die Spulenwicklungspakete vollständig. Die Schutzschicht umgibt die Spulenwicklungspakete derart, dass zumindest eine Außenseite und beide seitlichen Flächen des jeweiligen Spulenwicklungspaketes von der Schutzschicht umgeben sind. Stirnseitig am Eisenkern sind die Befestigungsstummel angeordnet.The object is achieved with the electromagnetic coil arrangement mentioned at the outset in that the at least two coil winding packets enclose the iron core in partial areas along the first longitudinal extension. The first longitudinal extension means an iron core length. The coil winding packages consist of a maximum of two layers lying one on top of the other, preferably only one layer, and a large number of turns lying next to one another. The respective coil winding packet thus consists of a large number of windings that are wound next to one another and of a maximum of two layers lying one on top of the other. The number of turns is determined by calculations and depends on a maximum available voltage and a maximum current density at a given stirring frequency. The goal is always to provide the highest possible stirring effect, i.e. the highest possible magnetic flux density. The individual windings are covered with an insulating material so that the individual windings are electrically insulated from one another. The insulating material is preferably a polyimide film. The coil winding packets are designed in such a way that they can be slid onto the iron core from one end face of the iron core up to an intended assembly position for assembly. When pushed on, the coil winding packets have internal dimensions which are larger than the external dimensions of the iron core in order to allow the coil winding packets to be pushed onto the iron core. This embodiment is intended to enable the coil winding packages to be produced without an iron core and for the coil winding package and iron core to be assembled separately. The dimensions of the coil winding packets can be increased during assembly by expansion, such as heating or twisting the windings, in order to facilitate or enable sliding. The coil winding packages are ie designed in such a way that they are in a form for assembly or can be brought into a form in order to enable them to be slid onto the support tube. The coil winding packages have a protective layer for protection and insulation. This protective layer completely encloses the coil winding packages. The protective layer surrounds the coil winding packages in such a way that at least one outside and both lateral surfaces of the respective coil winding package are surrounded by the protective layer. The fastening stubs are arranged on the face of the iron core.

Die elektrischen Anschlusskontakte sind jeweils mit zumindest einem Spulenwicklungspaket verbunden. Eine bevorzugte Anordnung der elektrischen Anschlusskontakte ist an den Stirnseiten der Befestigungsstummel. Die Befestigungsstummel weisen in einer bevorzugten Ausführung Durchführungen auf, welche es ermöglichen die elektrischen Anschlusskontakte an eine von außen einsehbarer Stirnseite der Befestigungsstummel zu führen. An dieser Stirnseite können dann die Spulenwicklungspakete elektrisch über die Anschlusskontakte angeschlossen werden.The electrical connection contacts are each connected to at least one coil winding package. A preferred arrangement of the electrical connection contacts is on the end faces of the fastening stubs. In a preferred embodiment, the fastening stubs have bushings which make it possible to guide the electrical connection contacts to an end face of the fastening stub that can be seen from the outside. The coil winding packages can then be electrically connected via the connection contacts to this end face.

Die Befestigungsstummel haben die Funktion, die Spulenanordnung an einem Lagerbock montieren zu können. Durch die Ausführung der Spulenwicklungspakete mit maximal zwei Lagen kann die Wärme leichter abgeführt werden. Es hat sich zusätzlich gezeigt, dass durch die Minimierung der Lagen - auf maximal zwei - die elektromagnetische Flussdichte über einen längeren Zeitraum auf einem höheren Niveau gehalten werden kann, als dies bei einer Ausführung mit mehr als zwei Lagen der Fall ist. Die entstehende Wärme kann dadurch besser abgeführt werden. Diese Ausführung reduziert eine Temperaturdifferenz zwischen der inneren Lage und der äußersten Lage auf bis zu 120 Kelvin. Bei der bevorzugten Ausführung der Spulenwicklungspakete mit nur einer Lage lässt sich, bei einer Stromdichte von 17 A/m2, die Temperaturdifferenz zwischen innen und außen auf bis zu 60 Kelvin reduzieren. Bei Ausführungen mit mehreren Lagen wurden Temperaturdifferenzen - zwischen innerer und äußerer Lage - von 200 Kelvin ermittelt, wodurch die Gefahr der Überschreitung der Maximaltemperatur der Isolierwerkstoffe besteht. Um dies zu verhindern, muss in einem solchen Fall die in die Spulen eingespeiste Energie, also der Strom, reduziert werden. Dies hat zur Folge, dass die Rührwirkung verringert wird.The fastening stubs have the function of being able to mount the coil arrangement on a bearing block. The design of the coil winding packages with a maximum of two layers allows the heat to be dissipated more easily. It has also been shown that by minimizing the layers - to a maximum of two - the electromagnetic flux density can be kept at a higher level over a longer period of time than is the case with an embodiment with more than two layers. The resulting heat can be dissipated better. This design reduces the temperature difference between the inner layer and the outermost layer to as little as 120 Kelvin. In the preferred embodiment of the coil winding packages with only one layer, the temperature difference between inside and outside can be reduced to up to 60 Kelvin at a current density of 17 A/m 2 . In designs with several layers, temperature differences - between the inner and outer layer - of 200 Kelvin, which means there is a risk of exceeding the maximum temperature of the insulating materials. In order to prevent this, the energy fed into the coils, i.e. the current, must be reduced in such a case. As a result, the stirring effect is reduced.

Eine besonders bevorzugte Ausführungsform ist, dass die Windungen einen rechteckigen Querschnitt aufweisen, wobei die Abmessung der Windung in Radialrichtung größer ist als in Axialrichtung. Das Verhältnis der Abmessung in Axialrichtung - also einer Breite eines Querschnittes der Windung - zu der Abmessung in Radialrichtung -- also einer Höhe eines Querschnittes der Windung - liegt bevorzugt in einem Bereich von 1/3 bis 1/8, besonders bevorzugt 1/4 bis 1/6. Die Windungen sind also als sogenannte stehende Windungen ausgeführt. Durch den rechteckigen Querschnitt lassen sich mehrere schmale und hohe Windungen nebeneinander anordnen, um die gewünschte Windungszahl zu erhalten und trotzdem ein kompaktes Spulenwicklungspaket herzustellen. In diesem Zusammenhang wird unter rechteckig auch verstanden, dass die Ecken Rundungen aufweisen können, welche eine einfachere Montage beim Zusammenbau der Spulenwicklungsanordnung gewährleisten.A particularly preferred embodiment is that the windings have a rectangular cross-section, the dimension of the winding being larger in the radial direction than in the axial direction. The ratio of the dimension in the axial direction - i.e. a width of a cross section of the winding - to the dimension in the radial direction - i.e. a height of a cross section of the winding - is preferably in a range from 1/3 to 1/8, particularly preferably 1/4 to 1/6 The windings are therefore designed as so-called standing windings. Due to the rectangular cross section, several narrow and high windings can be arranged next to each other in order to obtain the desired number of windings and still produce a compact coil winding package. In this context, rectangular is also understood to mean that the corners can have curves, which ensure simpler assembly when assembling the coil winding arrangement.

Als ganz besonders bevorzugte Ausführung hat sich eine Windung mit rechteckigem Querschnitt und nur einer Lage ergeben. Bei dieser Ausführungsvariante ergibt sich eine besonders gute Wärmeabführung nach außen. In Versuchen hat sich gezeigt, dass dadurch die Temperaturdifferenz am geringsten ist. Bei dieser einlagigen Ausführung ergeben sich in Radialrichtung keine Übergänge von isolierter Windung zu darüber liegender isolierter Windung, wodurch eine besonders guter Wärmetransport nach außen ergibt.A winding with a rectangular cross section and only one layer has turned out to be a particularly preferred embodiment. This embodiment variant results in particularly good heat dissipation to the outside. Experiments have shown that this results in the lowest temperature difference. In this single-layer design, there are no transitions in the radial direction from the insulated winding to the insulated winding lying above it, which results in particularly good heat transport to the outside.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass der Eisenkern zumindest einen Kühlkanal aufweist. Durch die Anordnung von zumindest einem Kühlkanal kann die Wärme, welche im Eisenkern entsteht, besonders effektiv abgeführt werden.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the iron core has at least one cooling channel. By arranging at least one cooling channel, the Heat generated in the iron core can be dissipated particularly effectively.

Eine zweckmäße Ausführung sieht vor, dass ein Schutzrohr mit Hohlquerschnitt, bevorzugt kreisringförmigem Querschnitt, die Spulenwicklungspakete umschließt. Das Schutzrohr erstreckt sich zumindest über die beiden Spulenwicklungspakete. Eine mögliche Ausführung des Schutzrohres ist, dass dies aus mehreren Teilen besteht und vorhandene Stoßstellen jeweils abgedichtet werden - beispielsweise mit verklebten Metallstreifen. Die vorhandenen Zwischenräume zwischen dem Schutzrohr und den Spulenwicklungspaketen werden mittels Füllmasse ausgefüllt. Die Füllmasse führt dazu, dass die Wärme zu einem möglichst großen Teil an eine Innenseite des Schutzrohr übertragen wird. Dieses Schutzrohr ist aus gut wärmeleitendem Material, bevorzugt aus nichtmagnetischem Stahl, hergestellt und leitet somit die Wärme von einer Innen- zu einer Außenseite des Schutzrohrs.An expedient embodiment provides that a protective tube with a hollow cross section, preferably a circular cross section, encloses the coil winding packages. The protective tube extends at least over the two coil winding packs. A possible design of the protective tube is that it consists of several parts and existing joints are sealed - for example with glued metal strips. The gaps between the protective tube and the coil winding packages are filled with filling compound. The filling compound means that as much heat as possible is transferred to an inside of the protective tube. This protective tube is made of a material with good thermal conductivity, preferably non-magnetic steel, and thus conducts the heat from an inside to an outside of the protective tube.

Eine vorteilhafte Ausführung sieht vor, dass die Füllmasse eine Wärmeleitfähigkeit von größer 0,1 W m K

, bevorzugt größer 1 W m K
Figure imgb0002
, aufweist. Die Füllmasse mit dieser Wärmeleitfähigkeit sorgt für eine besonders gute Abführung der Wärme von den Spulenwicklungspaketen zum Schutzrohr.An advantageous embodiment provides that the filling compound has a thermal conductivity of greater 0.1 W m K

, preferably larger 1 W m K

, having. The filling compound with this thermal conductivity ensures particularly good heat dissipation from the coil winding packages to the protective tube.

Eine zweckmäßige Ausführungsform sieht vor, dass der Eisenkern in einem hohlen Stützrohr mit einer zweiten Längserstreckung angeordnet ist. Das Stützrohr weist also einen Hohlquerschnitt auf, und erstreckt sich entlang einer Längsachse. Das Stützrohr weist eine Stützrohrlänge auf, die in der Größenordnung der Gießproduktionsbreite liegt. Durch das Stützrohr kann der Eisenkern über die Gießproduktionsbreite stabilisiert werden.An expedient embodiment provides that the iron core is arranged in a hollow support tube with a second longitudinal extent. The support tube therefore has a hollow cross section and extends along a longitudinal axis. The support tube has a support tube length which is of the order of magnitude of the casting production width. The iron core can be stabilized over the casting production width by the support tube.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform sieht vor, dass das Stützrohr entlang der zweiten Längserstreckung eine Mehrzahl von Schlitzen, insbesondere zumindest zwei, bevorzugt zumindest vier, besonders bevorzugt zumindest sechs, ganz besonders bevorzugt acht Schlitze, mit jeweils einer vorgegebenen Schlitzfläche aufweist. Der Eisenkern ist derart ausgebildet, dass jeweils ein Teilvolumen des Eisenkerns in jeweils einen dieser Schlitze eingeschoben werden kann, bevorzugt füllen die jeweiligen Teilvolumen die jeweiligen Schlitze vollständig aus. Die Ausführung mit mehreren Schlitzen hat den Vorteil, dass eine Aufweitung des Rohres, durch mögliche mechanische Eigenspannungen des Rohres, mittels - zwischen den Schlitzen liegenden - Stegen, verhindert wird. Diese Ausführung sieht also vor, dass zwischen drei und zehn Schlitze vorhanden sind, welche entlang der zweiten Längserstreckung angeordnet sind. Diese Stege verhindern also ein Aufweiten - also Veränderung einer ursprünglichen - beispielsweise kreisringförmigen - Form - des Stützrohrs, welches nach dem Herstellen des Schlitzes auftreten kann. Der Eisenkern weist in dieser Ausführung also für jeden Schlitz ein Teilvolumen auf, welches in die Schlitze eingeschoben werden kann. Somit müssen natürlich die Stege im Eisenkern ebenso als Negativ abgebildet sein, damit die Teilvolumen in die jeweiligen Schlitze eingeschoben werden können.A preferred embodiment provides that the support tube has a plurality of slots along the second longitudinal extent, in particular at least two, preferably at least four, particularly preferably at least six, very particularly preferably eight slots, each having a predetermined slot area. The iron core is designed in such a way that in each case a partial volume of the iron core can be pushed into one of these slots; the respective partial volumes preferably fill the respective slots completely. The design with several slits has the advantage that an expansion of the tube due to possible internal mechanical stresses in the tube is prevented by means of webs located between the slits. This embodiment therefore provides for between three and ten slots to be present, which are arranged along the second longitudinal extension. These webs thus prevent a widening--that is, a change in an original--for example annular--shape--of the support tube, which can occur after the slot has been made. In this embodiment, the iron core therefore has a partial volume for each slot, which can be pushed into the slots. Thus, of course, the bars in the iron core must also be shown as a negative, so that the partial volumes can be pushed into the respective slots.

Eine weitere bevorzugte Ausführungsform sieht vor, dass innerhalb des Stützrohrs Kühlkanäle neben dem Eisenkern angeordnet sind. Diese Kühlkanäle verlaufen nahe am Eisenkern, um die entstehende Wärme möglichst effektiv abzuführen. Die Kühlkanäle können als Rohr ausgeführt sein, welches neben dem Eisenkern in das Stützrohr eingeschoben wird.A further preferred embodiment provides that cooling channels are arranged next to the iron core within the support tube. These cooling channels run close to the iron core in order to dissipate the heat generated as effectively as possible. The cooling channels can be designed as a tube that is pushed into the support tube next to the iron core.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausführung sieht vor, dass die Schlitzfläche rechteckig ist. Diese Ausführung wird bevorzugt, da dadurch eine möglichst große Schlitzfläche erreicht wird.A further advantageous embodiment provides that the slot area is rectangular. This embodiment is preferred because it achieves the largest possible slot area.

In einer weiteren zweckmäßigen Ausprägung weisen die elektrischen Anschlusskontakte einen Bolzen mit einer Bolzenquerschnittsfläche, welche eine benötigte Energie an die Spulenwicklungspakete übertragen kann, sowie einenIn a further expedient form, the electrical connection contacts have a bolt with a bolt cross-sectional area which can transmit a required energy to the coil winding packets, and a

Befestigungsbolzenstummel, mit einer Befestigungsquerschnittfläche, auf. Die Bolzenquerschnittsfläche und die Befestigungsquerschnittsfläche weisen ein Verhältnis von 1,7 bis 4 auf. Die Anschlusskontakte müssen für diese Anwendungen auf sehr begrenztem Raum angeordnet und befestigt werden können. Aus diesem Grund soll der Anschlusskontakt einerseits die benötigte Energie an die Spulenwicklungspakete übertragen können und andererseits eine zuverlässige Befestigung aufweisen. Der Anschluss von elektrischen Versorgungskabeln an die Anschlusskontakte soll bevorzugt über einen Kabelschuh erfolgen. Der Kabelschuh wird auf den Befestigungsstummel aufgeschoben, wobei dieser so fixiert werden muss, dass dieser einen guten Kontakt zur Bolzenquerschnittsfläche aufweist. Dies erfolgt vorzugsweise dadurch, dass der Befestigungsbolzen ein Gewinde aufweist und durch ein Aufschrauben einer Mutter der Kabelschuh an die Befestigungsquerschnittsfläche angepresst wird. Durch die verringerte Befestigungsquerschnittsfläche benötigen die Kontakte weniger Platz. Diese Ausführung ermöglicht es, dass die Anschlusskontakte - trotz begrenztem Platzbedarf - an den Stirnseiten der Befestigungsstummeln angeordnet werden können.Fastening bolt stub, with a fastening cross-sectional area. The bolt cross-sectional area and the fastener cross-sectional area have a ratio of 1.7 to 4. For these applications, the connection contacts must be able to be arranged and fastened in a very limited space. For this reason, the connection contact should, on the one hand, be able to transmit the required energy to the coil winding packets and, on the other hand, have a reliable attachment. Electrical supply cables should preferably be connected to the connection contacts using a cable lug. The cable lug is pushed onto the fastening stub, whereby this must be fixed in such a way that it has good contact with the cross-sectional area of the bolt. This is preferably done in that the fastening bolt has a thread and the cable lug is pressed onto the fastening cross-sectional area by screwing on a nut. Due to the reduced mounting cross-sectional area, the contacts require less space. This design makes it possible for the connection contacts to be arranged on the end faces of the fastening stubs, despite the limited space required.

Eine besonders bevorzugte Ausführungsform sieht vor, dass die jeweils den Befestigungsstummeln nächstgelegenen Spulenwicklungspakete und alle mit diesen elektrisch verbundenen Spulenwicklungspakete eine höhere Gesamtwindungszahl aufweisen als eine Gesamtwindungszahl aller anderen - jeweils elektrisch miteinander verbundenen - Spulenwicklungspakete. Die Spulenwicklungspakete, welche am Rand platziert sind, weisen einen größeren Luftspalt auf, da magnetische Feldlinien zumindest teilweise über eine der beiden Stirnseiten des Eisenkerns austreten. Dies führt dazu, dass diese Spulenwicklungspakete im Vergleich zu jenen Spulenwicklungspaketen, welche nicht am Rand platziert sind, eine größere Länge des Luftspalts lLuft im magnetischen Kreis aufweisen. Daraus ergibt sich, dass ein magnetischer Gesamtwiderstand Rm, ges (vgl. Gleichung 4) höher ist und deshalb die Induktivität abnimmt. Die Induktivität L errechnet sich durch die Gleichung 1, wobei N die Windungszahl ist. Der magnetische Widerstand im Luftspalt errechnet sich nach Gleichung 2, wobei µ0 die Permeabilität von Vakuum und A die Querschnittsfläche des magnetischen Leiters ist. In Gleichung 3 ist die Formel für den magnetischen Widerstand im Eisen dargestellt, wobei µr die relative Permeabilität des Eisenkerns ist. L = N 2 R m , ges

A particularly preferred embodiment provides that the coil winding packets closest to the fastening stubs and all coil winding packets electrically connected thereto have a higher total number of turns than a total number of turns of all other coil winding packets—each electrically connected to one another. The coil winding packs, which are placed at the edge, have a larger air gap, since magnetic field lines emerge at least partially via one of the two end faces of the iron core. This means that these coil winding packages have a greater length of the air gap l air in the magnetic circuit than those coil winding packages that are not placed at the edge exhibit. From this it follows that a total magnetic resistance R m,ges (cf. equation 4) is higher and the inductance therefore decreases. The inductance L is calculated by Equation 1, where N is the number of turns. The magnetic resistance in the air gap is calculated using Equation 2, where μ 0 is the permeability of vacuum and A is the cross-sectional area of the magnetic conductor. Equation 3 shows the formula for the magnetic reluctance in iron, where µ r is the relative permeability of the iron core. L = N 2 R m , total

Diese Gleichungen dienen dem Verständnis der Zusammenhänge, eine analytische Berechnung des magnetischen Widerstandes ist aber aufgrund des weitgehend unbekannten Luftspalts und wegen der dynamischen Veränderungen während des Betriebes einer Rührrolle schwierig, und wird dementsprechend auch über Finite Elemente Methoden (FEM) Programme gelöst. Die erfindungsgemäße Ausführung sieht vor, dass alle mit jeweils einem elektrischen Kontakt verbundenen Spulenwicklungspakte nahezu die gleiche Induktivität aufweisen. Wie in der Gleichung 1 ersichtlich, kann die Induktivität entweder über die Windungszahl N oder durch den magnetischen Widerstand Rm, ges verändert werden. Die einfachste Ausführung ergibt sich durch die Anpassung der Windungszahl. Die jeweils mit den einzelnen elektrischen Anschlusskontakten verbundenen Spulenwicklungspakete sollen durch die Anpassung der Gesamtwindungszahl eine nahezu gleiche Strombelastbarkeit und Induktivität aufweisen. Mit dieser Lösung ist es möglich, bei gleichbleibenden Platzverhältnissen, die elektrische Leistung der Rührrolle im Größenbereich von 5% zu steigern. Dies erfolgt durch eine ideale - also gleiche - Stromaufteilung auf alle Spulenwicklungspakete der elektromagnetischen Spulenwicklungsanordnung.These equations serve to understand the relationships, but an analytical calculation of the magnetic resistance is difficult due to the largely unknown air gap and the dynamic changes during operation of a stirring roller, and is accordingly also solved using finite element methods (FEM) programs. The embodiment according to the invention provides that all of the coil winding packages connected to an electrical contact each have almost the same inductance. As can be seen in Equation 1, the inductance can be changed either via the number of turns N or via the magnetic resistance R m,ges . The simplest version is obtained by adapting the number of turns. The coil winding packets connected to the individual electrical connection contacts should have almost the same current carrying capacity and inductance by adapting the total number of turns. With this solution it is possible to increase the electrical output of the agitator roller in the range of 5% with the same space conditions. This is done by an ideal - ie the same - current distribution to all coil winding packets of the electromagnetic coil winding arrangement.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsform sieht vor, dass die elektrische Spulenwicklungsanordnung drei elektrische Anschlusskontakte aufweist und die Anzahl der Spulenwicklungspakete einem Vielfachen von drei plus zwei entspricht. Die Anzahl von Spulenwicklungspakete ist also beispielsweise zumindest fünf, bevorzugt zumindest acht, besonders bevorzugt zumindest elf, ganz besonders bevorzugt vierzehn. Die jeweils den Befestigungsstummeln nächstgelegenen Spulenwicklungspakete, weisen eine kleinere Windungszahl auf, als die restlichen Spulenwicklungspakete. In dieser Ausführungsform dienen die Spulenwicklungspakete, welche in der Nähe des Befestigungsstummel angeordnet sind, also am Rand des Eisenkerns angeordnet sind, als sogenannte Ausgleichs-Spulenwicklungspakete. Eine Ausführung sieht vor, dass ein Anschlusskontakt mit beiden, dem Befestigungsstummeln nächstgelegenen, Spulenwicklungspakten verbunden ist. In diesem Ausführungsfall ist die Windungsanzahl der Ausgleichs-Spulenwicklungspakete größer als die halbe Windungszahl aber kleiner als die Windungszahl der restlichen Spulenwicklungspakete. Eine andere Ausführung ist, dass jeweils zwei elektrische Anschlusskontakte mit einem Ausgleichs-Spulenwicklungspaket verbunden sind.A preferred embodiment provides that the electrical coil winding arrangement has three electrical connection contacts and the number of coil winding packages corresponds to a multiple of three plus two. The number of coil winding packets is therefore, for example, at least five, preferably at least eight, particularly preferably at least eleven, very particularly preferably fourteen. The coil winding packages closest to the fastening stubs have a smaller number of turns than the remaining coil winding packages. In this embodiment, the coil winding packets, which are arranged in the vicinity of the attachment stub, that is to say are arranged on the edge of the iron core, serve as so-called compensating coil winding packets. One embodiment provides that a connection contact is connected to the two coil winding packages closest to the fastening stub. In this embodiment, the number of turns of the compensating coil winding packs is greater than half the number of turns but less than the number of turns of the remaining coil winding packs. Another embodiment is that two electrical connection contacts are connected to a compensating coil winding packet.

Eine vorteilhafte Ausführung sieht vor, dass die elektromagnetische Spulenwicklungsanordnung drei elektrische Anschlusskontakte aufweist. Die Anzahl der Spulenwicklungspakete beträgt zumindest drei oder ein Vielfaches von drei. Die jeweils den Befestigungsstummeln nächstgelegenen Spulenwicklungspakete weisen eine größere Windungszahl auf, als die restlichen Spulenwicklungspakete. In dieser Ausführung sind zumindest zwei elektrische Anschlusskontakte mit einem den Befestigungsstummeln nächstgelegenen Spulenwicklungspakt verbunden.An advantageous embodiment provides that the electromagnetic coil winding arrangement has three electrical connection contacts. The number of coil winding packages is at least three or one multiple of three. The coil winding packages closest to the fastening stubs have a larger number of turns than the remaining coil winding packages. In this embodiment, at least two electrical terminals are connected to a coil winding package closest to the mounting stubs.

Die erfindungsgemäße Aufgabe wird durch die eingangs genannte elektromagnetische Rührrolle gelöst. Die zuvor beschriebene elektromagnetische Spulenanordnung ist innerhalb der Rolle angeordnet. Die elektromagnetische Spulenanordnung ist beidseitig an einem Lagerbock fixiert. Zwischen dem Rohr und der Spulenanordnung ist ein Kühlkanal ausgebildet, welcher mit dem Zufluss und dem Abfluss verbunden ist. Die Rolle übt eine Stützwirkung auf den Strang aus. Diese Anordnung ergibt eine elektromagnetische Rührrolle, welche bei gleicher elektrischer Anschlussleistung und Baugröße einen größeren magnetischen Fluss und somit eine gesteigerte Rührwirkung erzielt.The object according to the invention is achieved by the electromagnetic stirring roller mentioned at the outset. The electromagnetic coil assembly described above is located within the roller. The electromagnetic coil arrangement is fixed to a bearing block on both sides. A cooling channel is formed between the tube and the coil arrangement, which is connected to the inflow and the outflow. The role exerts a supporting effect on the strand. This arrangement results in an electromagnetic stirring roller which, with the same electrical connected load and size, achieves a greater magnetic flux and thus an increased stirring effect.

In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist die Rolle auf der Lagerbock beidseitig drehbar gelagert. Diese Ausführung hat sich als besonders robuste Ausführungsform erwiesen. Eine andere Ausführung ist, dass die Lagerung auf den Befestigungsstummeln erfolgt.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the roller is rotatably mounted on the bearing block on both sides. This design has proven to be a particularly robust design. Another embodiment is that the storage takes place on the fastening stubs.

Beschreibung der AusführungsformenDescription of the embodiments

In Fig. 1 ist eine erfindungsgemäße Ausführungsform der Spulenwicklungsanordnung 1 gezeigt. Der Eisenkern 2 weist eine erste Längserstreckung L1 auf. Diese erste Längserstreckung L1 ergibt sich durch eine Erstreckung von einem linken zu einem rechten Befestigungsstummel 12. Unter der ersten Längserstreckung L1 ist also eine Länge des Eisenkerns zu verstehen. Die Spulenwicklungspakete 10 weisen zwei Lagen 11a und eine Vielzahl von Windungen 11b auf. Die einzelnen Windungen 11b sind mit einem Isoliermaterial überzogen. An jeweils einer Stirnseite des Eisenkerns sind Befestigungsstummeln 12 angeordnet. An den Befestigungsstummeln 12 befinden sich auch die elektrischen Kontakte 15. Durch diese elektrischen Kontakte 15 werden die Spulenwicklungspakte 10 an eine elektrische Energieversorgung angeschlossen. Die Spulenwicklungspakete 10 sind mit einer Schutzschicht 13a umschlossen, damit sie gegen mechanischen Verschleiß geschützt und elektrisch nach außen isoliert sind. Die Spulenwicklungspakete 10 sind so ausgestaltet, dass diese zur Montage von einer Stirnseite 6a bis zu einer Montageposition 6b aufschiebbar sind.In 1 an embodiment of the coil winding arrangement 1 according to the invention is shown. The iron core 2 has a first longitudinal extension L1. This first longitudinal extension L1 results from an extension from a left to a right fastening stub 12. The first longitudinal extension L1 is therefore to be understood as a length of the iron core. The coil winding packages 10 have two layers 11a and a multiplicity of turns 11b. The individual turns 11b are covered with an insulating material. Fastening stubs 12 are arranged on each end face of the iron core. The electrical contacts 15 are also located on the fastening stubs 12. The coil winding packages 10 are connected to an electrical energy supply by means of these electrical contacts 15.

In Fig. 9 ist eine schematische Darstellung einer Ausführungsform der Spulenwicklungsanordnung gezeigt. Der Eisenkern 2 mit einem Querschnitt und einer ersten Längserstreckung ist entlang der ersten Längserstreckung von mehreren Spulenwicklungspaketen 10u, 10v, 10w umschlossen. Die Spulenwicklungspakete der Phase u 10u weist eine größere Anzahl von Windungen 11b auf als das Spulenwicklungspaket der Phase v 10v und das Spulenwicklungspaket der Phase w 10w. Wie aus der Fig. 8 zu entnehmen ist, sind mit jeder der drei Phasen jeweils zwei Spulenwicklungspakete verbunden. Die Phase u und die Phase w sind jeweils mit einem Spulenwicklungspaket 10u, 10w verbunden, welches dem Befestigungsstummeln am nächstgelegenen ist. Diese mit den Phasen u und der Phase w verbundenen Spulenwicklungspakete 10u, 10w weisen eine höhere Windungszahl auf als die mit der Phase v verbundenen Spulenwicklungspakete 10v. Die jeweils mit den einzelnen Phasen u, v, w verbundenen Spulenwicklungspakete 10u, 10v, 10w sollen eine Windungszahl aufweisen, die eine nahezu gleiche Strombelastbarkeit aufweisen und nahezu die gleiche Induktivität. Für diese Ausführungsform gilt, dass die Anzahl der Spulenwicklungspakete ein Vielfaches von drei beträgt - bspw. drei, sechs, neun, zwölf, usw..In 9 a schematic representation of an embodiment of the coil winding arrangement is shown. The iron core 2 with a cross section and a first longitudinal extent is surrounded by a plurality of coil winding packages 10u, 10v, 10w along the first longitudinal extent. The u-phase coil winding pack 10u has a larger number of turns 11b than the v-phase coil winding pack 10v and the w-phase coil winding pack 10w. How from the 8 can be seen, two coil winding packages are connected to each of the three phases. The phase u and the phase w are each connected to a coil winding package 10u, 10w which is closest to the mounting stub. These coil winding packages 10u, 10w connected to the phases u and the phase w have a higher number of turns than the coil winding packages 10v connected to the phase v. The coil winding packets 10u, 10v, 10w connected to the individual phases u, v, w should have a number of turns that have almost the same current carrying capacity and almost the same inductance. For this In this embodiment, the number of coil winding packages is a multiple of three - e.g. three, six, nine, twelve, etc..

In Fig. 10 ist eine weitere schematische Darstellung einer erfindungsgemäßen Ausführung. In dieser Anordnung weist nur die Phase u eine elektrische Verbindung mit Spulenwicklungspaketen 10u, welche der Stirnseiten des Eisenkerns 2 bzw. der Befestigungsstummel (nicht dargestellt) nächstgelegen sind, auf. Die mit der Phase u verbundenen Spulenwicklungspakete 10u weisen eine höhere Anzahl von Windungen auf als die mit der Phase v und der Phase w verbundenen Spulenwicklungspakete 10v, 10w.In 10 Figure 12 is another schematic representation of an embodiment of the invention. In this arrangement, only the phase u has an electrical connection with coil winding packages 10u, which are closest to the end faces of the iron core 2 or the fastening stub (not shown).

In Fig. 11 sind vorteilhafte Ausführungsformen der Anschlusskontakte 15 als Draufsicht dargestellt. Der Platzbedarf am Befestigungsstummel 12, zum Anschließen von drei Phasen, ist gering. Einerseits muss gewährleistet sein, dass der benötigte Strom über die elektrischen Anschlusskontakte 15 geführt werden kann und andererseits eine sichere Befestigung erfolgen kann. Ein elektrisches Anschlusskabel wird in einem Kabelschuh 43 befestigt und mit einem Befestigungselement 42 - in dem vorliegenden Beispiel einer Mutter - satt an den elektrischen Anschlusskontakt 15 angepresst.In 11 advantageous embodiments of the connection contacts 15 are shown as a plan view. The space requirement on the attachment stub 12 for connecting three phases is small. On the one hand, it must be ensured that the required current can be routed via the electrical connection contacts 15 and, on the other hand, secure attachment can take place. An electrical connection cable is fastened in a cable lug 43 and is pressed snugly against the electrical connection contact 15 with a fastening element 42—in the present example a nut.

In Fig. 12 ist ein Grundriss und Aufriss der in Fig. 10 beschriebenen Anschlusskontakte schematisch dargestellt. Der Kabelschuh 43 wird mittels eines Befestigungselements (Mutter) 42 und einer Beilagscheibe 44 fest auf den Bolzenquerschnitt 40a angepresst. Der Befestigungsbolzen 41 weist einen Befestigungsbolzenquerschnitt 41a auf. Das Verhältnis von Bolzenquerschnitt 40a und Befestigungsbolzenquerschnitt 41a liegt in einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform im Verhältnis von 1,7 bis 4. Vorteilhafterweise ist der Bolzen 40 mit einem runden Querschnitt ausgeführt und der Befestigungsbolzen 41 weist ein Gewinde auf. Im Ausführungsfall des Bolzens 40 mit rundem Querschnitt liegt ein Bolzendurchmesser im Bereich von 14mm bis 20mm um die benötigten Ströme für die Spulenwicklungspakete übertragen zu können. Ein Verhältnis von Bolzendurchmesser zu Befestigungsbolzengewindedurchmesser - wobei hier der Nenngewindedurchmesser herangezogen wird - liegt zwischen 1,3 bis 2.In 12 is a plan and elevation of the in 10 connection contacts described shown schematically. The cable lug 43 is pressed firmly onto the bolt cross section 40a by means of a fastening element (nut) 42 and a washer 44 . The fastening bolt 41 has a fastening bolt cross section 41a. In a preferred embodiment, the ratio of bolt cross section 40a and fastening bolt cross section 41a is in the ratio of 1.7 to 4. Bolt 40 is advantageously designed with a round cross section and fastening bolt 41 has a thread. In the embodiment of the bolt 40 with a round Cross-section is a bolt diameter in the range of 14mm to 20mm in order to be able to transmit the currents required for the coil winding packages. A ratio of bolt diameter to fastening bolt thread diameter - whereby the nominal thread diameter is used here - is between 1.3 and 2.

In der Fig. 13 ist eine vergrößerte Ansicht eine elektrischen Anschlusskontaktes, mit dem Bolzen 40, dem Kabelschuh 43, der Beilagscheibe 44 und dem Befestigungselement 42 welches auf den Befestigungsbolzen 41 aufgeschraubt ist, dargestellt.In the 13 12 is an enlarged view of an electrical terminal including the bolt 40, the cable lug 43, the washer 44, and the fastener 42 screwed onto the fastener bolt 41. FIG.

In Fig. 14 ist eine weitere bevorzugte Ausführungsform dargestellt, welche sich von jener in Fig. 12 dadurch unterscheidet, dass beidseitig vom Kabelschuh 43 eine Beilagscheibe 44 angebracht ist. Die Beilagscheibe 44 die auf dem Bolzen 40 aufliegt, kann auch mit dem Bolzen starr verbunden sein - beispielsweise indem diese an den Bolzen 40 angeschweißt ist. Es ist aber auch denkbar, dass anstatt der Beilagscheibe - welche am Bolzen aufliegt - eine Mutter auf den Bolzen oder den Befestigungsbolzen aufgeschraubt ist.In 14 a further preferred embodiment is shown, which differs from that in 12 differs in that a washer 44 is attached on both sides of the cable lug 43. The washer 44 which rests on the bolt 40 can also be rigidly connected to the bolt - for example by being welded to the bolt 40. But it is also conceivable that instead of the washer - which rests on the bolt - a nut is screwed onto the bolt or the fastening bolt.

In Fig. 15 ist ein Stützrohr 3 mit einer Vielzahl von Schlitzen 4 dargestellt. Zwischen den Schlitzen 4 befinden sich die Stege 5. In die Schlitze 4 können die Teilvolumen des Eisenkerns eingeschoben werden.In 15 a support tube 3 with a plurality of slots 4 is shown. The webs 5 are located between the slots 4. The partial volumes of the iron core can be inserted into the slots 4.
