Definitions
- the invention relates to a rotor segment of a rotor of a generator for a wind turbine.
- the invention particularly relates to a rotor segment of a segmented rotor of a segmented generator for a wind turbine.
- the rotor segment comprises a magnet carrier segment with a ring-shaped or partially ring-shaped geometry, the magnet carrier segment extending in a radial direction between a radially outer magnet carrier outer surface and a magnet carrier inner surface which is radially inner in relation to the magnet carrier outer surface, and at least one rotor laminated core, which is used for receiving at least one magnet unit is formed, the at least one rotor laminated core extending in the radial direction between a radially outer laminated core surface and a laminated core inner surface located radially in relation to the laminated core outer surface.
- the invention relates to a magnet cover for covering at least one magnet unit of a rotor segment.
- the invention also relates to a rotor, in particular a segmented rotor, and a generator, in particular a segmented generator, for a wind energy plant. Furthermore, the invention relates to a wind energy installation.
- the invention relates to a molding device and a method for manufacturing a rotor segment. It is known to produce a rotor segment or a rotor of a generator for a wind turbine from a magnet carrier segment and a rotor sheet metal package. For the production of the rotor segment or the rotor, it is known to arrange the rotor sheet metal package on the magnet carrier segment.
- the rotor laminated core is arranged with its radially outer outer surface of the laminated core on the radially inner inner surface of the magnet carrier.
- both the rotor laminated core and the magnet carrier segment are machined beforehand and then assembled at the machined fitting surfaces or functional surfaces and welded together.
- This type of production of a rotor segment or rotor requires a comparatively large number of production steps and, in particular, requires a high level of (manufacturing) accuracy to be achieved.
- the machined mating surfaces or functional surfaces must meet tight tolerances in terms of their dimensions, shape and position. Both the comparatively high number of manufacturing steps required and the high demands on the accuracy to be achieved are responsible for a significant part of the costs. If the high levels of accuracy are not achieved in terms of production technology, this can lead to the rotor, i.e. the generator, running out of true and to increased noise emissions. It is therefore necessary to use machine tools, such as lathes, with which the required manufacturing accuracies can be achieved. However, such machine tools are very expensive - especially when components with large diameters are to be produced.

- This arrangement of the connecting element designed as a cast and/or foam part between the at least one laminated rotor core and the magnet carrier segment significantly reduces the requirements for the manufacturing accuracy to be achieved in the magnet carrier segment and/or the at least one laminated rotor core. This is because the outer surface of the laminated core and the inner surface of the magnet carrier no longer have to be in the form of mating surfaces or functional surfaces, as was previously necessary. Rather, the cast and/or foam mass of the connecting element compensates for possible manufacturing inaccuracies in the at least one laminated rotor core and the magnet carrier segment. This significantly reduces the manufacturing cost of the rotor segment. This effect is additionally reinforced by the fact that expensive machine tools, which were previously required to to achieve the required manufacturing accuracies become superfluous. Furthermore, this accelerates the manufacturing process, since time-consuming manufacturing processes, which enable high manufacturing accuracy, are eliminated.
- the damping property of the rotor segment can be adjusted in a targeted manner by means of the connecting element.
- the mechanical load on the rotor segment or rotor or generator can be reduced, that is to say the service life can be increased and operating costs reduced, and the noise emissions of the rotor segment or rotor or generator can be reduced.
- the material preferably has high inherent damping. Furthermore, through the use of the connecting element according to the invention, an improved air gap between the rotor and stator of a generator in terms of roundness, cylindricity and squareness can be produced due to the modified manufacturing process. In particular, manufacturing inaccuracies, i.e. larger tolerances, can easily be compensated for by the connecting element. Because the connecting element is designed as a cast part and/or foam part, it can have variable thicknesses in the radial direction, which compensate for the manufacturing inaccuracies, i.e. larger tolerances.
- the connecting element comprises plastic, in particular polyurethane, and/or is particularly preferably designed as a polyurethane foam part and/or polyurethane cast part.
- plastic in particular polyurethane
- the connecting element has a vibration-damping effect and thus reduces vibrations.
- the mechanical stress during operation decreases, which leads to lower operating costs; on the other hand, the noise emission decreases as a result.
- this preferred allows Embodiment produce an improved air gap between the rotor and stator of a generator in terms of roundness, cylindricity and squareness.
- the magnet carrier segment and the at least one rotor laminated core comprise materials with a higher melting temperature than plastic, the magnet carrier segment and the at least one rotor laminated core can advantageously serve as a mold for the connecting element to be cast or foamed.
- the connecting element is connected to the inner surface of the magnet carrier and/or the outer surface of the laminated core in a materially bonded manner, in particular adhesively, and/or in a form-fitting manner.
- the magnet carrier segment has a first connecting device on the inside surface of the magnet carrier, the first connecting device having one or more first connecting projections and/or one or more first connecting depressions, for the positive connection of the connecting element to the magnet carrier segment.
- the one or more first connecting projections are preferably welded to the magnet carrier segment, in particular to the inner surface of the magnet carrier.
- the at least one rotor laminated core has a second connecting device on the outer surface of the laminated core, the second connecting device having one or more second connecting projections and/or one or more second connecting recesses, for the positive connection of the connecting element to the at least one rotor lamination package.
