Generator with support structure

摘要

A generator, particularly for a wind turbine, having a rotor and a stator is provided. The rotor includes at least one disc-like shaped rotor end plate supporting the rotor and the stator includes at least one disc-like shaped stator end plate supporting the stator, wherein the at least one rotor end plate and/or the at least one stator end plate at least partially extends tilted relative to the center axis of the generator.

1. A generator, comprising:
a rotor comprising at least two disc-like shaped rotor end plates supporting the rotor, wherein two of the at least two rotor end plates are axially adjacently disposed and each are at least partially extending tilted relative to a centre axis of the generator, whereby the rotor end plates are disposed at one axial face side of the rotor, wherein each rotor end plate comprises a radially outer end; and a stator comprising at least one disc-like shaped stator end plate supporting the stator, wherein each stator end plate comprises a radially outer end, wherein the at least two of the at least two rotor end plates axially adjacently disposed and at least one stator end plate at least partially extends tilted relative to the centre axis of the generator in an outward direction towards a drive end, wherein all of the radially outer ends of the respective rotor end plates converge in a common point at the axial face side of the rotor.
