  • Patent number: 9450461
    Abstract: A rotating electric machine comprising a rotor (2) comprising a body (34) on the periphery of which are installed conductors (36) forming the winding, and a stator (3) positioned around the rotor (2) comprising a magnetized structure extending along a circumference of the stator (3). The body (34) of the rotor (2) is made partially of plastic, in the region of the teeth which conventionally separate the notches near the air gap, on the periphery of the armature. A modified structure of magnets of Halbach type is made with magnets of NdFeB type to reduce the thickness of the stator (3), to increase the radius (R2) of the rotor (2) so as to position all the conductors (36) on the periphery of the body (34) of the rotor (2) on one and the same layer at a diameter of maximum value.

  • Patent number: 9350208
    Abstract: A machine having a wound rotor (102) comprising a manifold (112) that includes a set of blades (131) and longitudinal notches (133). Rotor (102) also comprises a winding (108) formed of a set of conductors (134) that each comprise two arms (135.1, 135.2), connected together by a base (136). The curve, representing the electromotive force (EMF) generated by the rotor (102) on the basis of the angle of rotation of the rotor, is linear and steep in a switching region, and the notches (133) are angularly shifted relative to the blades (131) so that each notch (133) is located opposite a junction between two blades. The machine may relate to a starter fitted with the machine.

  • Publication number: 20160065008
    Abstract: A DC electric rotating machine mainly for the starter of an automotive vehicle, including: a stator having a magnetised structure with permanent magnetisation and extending along the circumference of the stator; a rotor; a set of brushes adapted for the electric supply of the rotor by switching the electrical current in sections of the rotor; wherein the magnetised structure (5) of the stator includes at least one sector, between two consecutive magnetic poles (N; S) of the magnetised structure, having a magnetisation vector that varies in an essentially sinusoidal manner upon displacement on the stator circumference, and wherein the angular deviation of the neutral line is selected so as to improve the switching during the operation of the machine.

  • Patent number: 9231460
    Abstract: A DC electric rotating machine, such as a starter of an automotive vehicle, includes a stator with salient poles having at least four poles distributed uniformly over the circumference of the stator, a rotor disposed inside the stator, a set of brushes adapted for the electric supply of the rotor, and at least two geometrically opposed salient poles. Each pole includes at least one substantially radial slot in a plane parallel to the axis of rotation of the rotor and preferably passes through the axis of the rotor. By minimizing the reaction fields of the armature, utilization of the magnetic material of the parts of the stator is balanced and a harmful armature reaction effect, which increases saturation of the polar parts of the inductor and which leads to reduction in the driving magnetic torque, is mitigated.
