Magnet assembly

Abstract

A magnet assembly includes a base element and a magnet attached to a first surface of the base element. A second surface of the base element opposite to the first surface of the base element includes a contour, which is adapted to engage with a complementary contour of a support structure of a rotor arrangement. In an example embodiment, the contour and/or the complementary contour is funned in a dove tail manner.

         16 . A magnet assembly, comprising:
 a base element, and   a magnet attached to a first surface of the base element,   wherein a second surface of the base element opposite to the first surface of the base element comprises a contour, which is adapted to engage with a complementary contour of a support structure of a rotor arrangement.   
     
     
         17 . The magnet assembly as set forth in  claim 16 , wherein
 the contour and/or the complementary contour is formed in a dove tail manner.   
     
     
         18 . The magnet assembly as set forth in  claim 16 , wherein
 the support structure of the rotor arrangement comprises a protrusion and wherein the base element comprises a recess for engaging with the protrusion of the support structure of the rotor arrangement.   
     
     
         19 . The magnet assembly as set forth in  claim 16 , wherein
 the base element comprises a protrusion and wherein the support structure of the rotor arrangement comprises a recess for engaging with the protrusion of the base element.   
     
     
         20 . The magnet assembly as set forth in  claim 16 , further comprising a further magnet attached to the first surface of the base element. 
     
     
         21 . The magnet assembly as set forth in  claim 16 , wherein
 the magnet is attached to the base element by a gluing material.   
     
     
         22 . The magnet assembly as set forth in  claim 16 , further comprising
 a protective cover encapsulating the magnet.   
     
     
         23 . The magnet assembly as set forth in  claim 22 , wherein
 the protective cover consists of a non-metallic material.   
     
     
         24 . The magnet assembly as set forth in  claim 22 , wherein
 the protective cover is fixed to the base element.   
     
     
         25 . The magnet assembly as set forth in  claim 22 , wherein the base element and/or the protective cover comprises an opening for evacuating an interior of the protective cover. 
     
     
         26 . A rotor arrangement for an electromechanical transducer, the rotor arrangement comprising:
 a support structure, and   a magnet assembly as according to  claim 16 .   
     
     
         27 . The rotor arrangement as set forth in  claim 26 ,
 wherein the support structure comprises the recess representing the contour, which is adapted to engage with the complementary contour of the magnet assembly, and   wherein the recess comprises a lateral open end being adapted for laterally inserting the magnet assembly and a lateral closed end representing a stop element.   
     
     
         28 . The rotor arrangement as set forth in claim  12 ,
 wherein the support structure comprises a further recess comprising a lateral open end for laterally inserting a further magnet assembly and a lateral closed end representing a stop element,   wherein the closed end of the recess and the closed end of the further recess are aligned along an axis being oriented perpendicular to a common longitudinal direction of the recess and the further recess, or   wherein the closed end of the recess and the closed end of the further recess are displaced with respect to each other along the common longitudinal direction.   
     
     
         29 . A wind turbine, comprising:
 a tower,   a rotor, which is arranged at a top portion of the tower and which comprises at least one blade, and   an electromechanical transducer comprising:
 a stator assembly, and 
 a rotor arrangement according to  claim 26 , 
   wherein the electromechanical transducer is mechanically coupled with the rotor.
