  • Publication number: 20240128002
    Abstract: A Magnet structure with a plurality of individual magnets having a reinforced connection. This invention relates to a magnet structure (2) in three dimensions having cutouts (4 to 7) extending along a height of the magnet structure (2) and forming groups of cutouts. Each cutout is interrupted, forming two parts (4, 6; 5, 7) in the height direction, leaving a material-filled gap between them. The gaps of one group form a heel portion (8a, 8b), the cutouts (4 to 7) delimiting between them individual magnets (3) connected to one another by the heel. At least one gap between one cutout of one group is at a height different from at least one gap between a cutout of another group so that portions of them extend at least partly over different height levels.

  • Publication number: 20240022129
    Abstract: The invention relates to a stator of an electric motor stator equipped with coils (3, 3a, 3b) and comprising an oil cooling system for the coils. The coils (3, 3a, 3b) are arranged leaving a gap (15) between them and defining inside and outside circumferences. The system comprises oil inlet and outlet manifolds pierced by orifices to send or recover oil to or from the coils. Each inlet orifice (10) is associated with a respective coil (3, 3a, 3b), one of the manifolds surrounding the inside circumference while the other manifold surrounds the outside circumference, a flow of oil exiting each inlet orifice (19) circulating mostly in the gap (15) between its associated coil (3) and at least one of the two adjacent coils (3a, 3b) and then exiting via an outlet orifice.
