  • Patent number: 11831219
    Abstract: A rotor for an electric motor comprising a crankshaft extending along an axis (X-X) coinciding with an axis of rotation of the crankshaft, and at least one steel plate having slots for housing magnets. The steel plate includes a central seat, keyed to an outer side wall of the crankshaft according to an interference coupling, wherein the steel plate is coupled to the crankshaft at the central seat by a first tooth obtained on the steel plate, which projects towards the associated crankshaft and a first radial seat, obtained on the outer side wall of the crankshaft. The first radial seat has an isosceles trapezium cross-section delimited laterally by a pair of oblique sides converging towards the axis of rotation. The first tooth has a ā€˜Vā€™ cross-section with a pair of curvilinear side walls, suitable for interfacing against the oblique sides of the first radial seat.

  • Publication number: 20220393533
    Abstract: A rotor of an electric machine comprising a drive shaft extending along a rotation axis, a plurality of foils provided with an insertion seat at which they are coaxially keyed to the drive shaft at a keying portion of the drive shaft, the foils globally having the shape of a circular sector extending from an outer edge, corresponding to an outer diameter of the rotor, and an inner edge, corresponding to a minimum or inner diameter delimiting said insertion seat which interfaces with the keying portion of the drive shaft. The keying portion comprises a lateral surface which interfaces with the insertion seat of the foils, wherein the insertion seat comprises locking portions, which interface with said lateral surface of the keying portion. At said locking portions, the foils comprise, on the side opposite to the keying portion, lightenings which give elasticity to the locking portions in a radial direction, perpendicular to the rotation axis.

  • Patent number: 10897179
    Abstract: A rotor for a rotary electric machine; the rotor has: a shaft, which is mounted so as to rotate around a rotation axis; a magnetic core, which is arranged around the shaft and consists of a plurality of lamination sheets stacked together; and a pair of end discs, which are arranged around the shaft at the two opposite ends of the magnetic core and are designed to keep the lamination sheets of the magnetic core stacked together; wherein the end discs are designed to have balancing holes, which dynamically balance the rotor around the rotation axis. Each end disc consists of an inner component with an annular shape, which is arranged around the shaft and is made of a first metal material, and of an outer component with an annular shape, which is arranged around the inner component and is made of a second metal material, which is different from the first metal material and is non-magnetic.
