  • Patent number: 11005330
    Abstract: The invention relates to a closed rotary electrical machine incorporating a cooling system comprising two internal fans secured on the shaft of the rotor, at the two ends of the rotor. Each fan faces the inner face of a flange comprising fins orient the flow of air created by the internal fans and can capture the heat from operation of the machine. A casing which contains the rotor and the stator of the electrical machine is sealed by two flanges. The cooling system also comprises external cooling for cooling the casing and flanges, comprising air or liquid.

  • Patent number: 11005331
    Abstract: The invention relates to an enclosed rotary electrical machine including a cooling system comprising two internal fans (181, 182) fixedly mounted on shaft (160) at both ends of rotor (150). The rotor and stator (190) are contained in an enclosure sealed by two flanges. The fans allow dual air circulation in flux barriers surrounding the rotor magnets and formed by axial recesses running throughout the rotor, and also air circulation in the space created between the internal fans and the inner faces of the flanges comprising fins (113, 123) which orient the air flows created by the fans to capture the heat thereof. External cooling allows the enclosure and the flanges to be cooled, by air or liquid cooling.

  • Patent number: 10873248
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rotary electrical machine (100) with an integral magnetic sensor (101) of the angular position of the rotor (150). The sensor includes a rotary part (108) with magnet (102) fixed to the end (160b) of the rotation shaft (160) at the rear of the machine, facing a fixed part (103) including Hall effect sensors and mounted on a fixed support (106) connected to the frame of the machine. The machine includes a bearing (104) centered on the axis (X), separating the rotary and fixed parts of the sensor. This bearing, fixed to the shaft and to the metal support of the fixed part of the sensor, and preferably in contact with the rotary part, constitutes a new mechanical reference close to the sensor. The invention provides accurate and robust position information independently of mechanical and magnetic disturbances to which the shaft may be subjected.

  • Patent number: 10320321
    Abstract: An electric machine includes an alternating current electric motor comprising two semi-windings and an inverter comprising at least two inverter branches which are electrically connected each one to a respective semi-winding. The machine also includes a control unit which provides respective control signals to the two inverter branches so that they induce two alternating currents of frequency in the respective semi-windings. The control signals of the two inverter branches have a frequency smaller than the frequency and are also reciprocally out of phase by 180° relative to the frequency. This allows reducing ripples of the overall alternating current resulting from the sum of the two alternating currents provided by the two semi-windings.

    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an electric-motor rotor may include providing a magnet of sintered magnetic material, the magnet having a first diameter; providing a sheath of composite material, the sheath having an inner diameter smaller than the first diameter; reducing the first diameter to a second diameter; fitting the sheath onto the magnet when the magnet has the second diameter; and letting the magnet with the sheath fitted thereon to interfere, allowing the sheath to exert inward pressure on the magnet. An electric-motor rotor may include a magnet of sintered magnetic material, the magnet having a first diameter; and a sheath of composite material, the sheath having an inner diameter smaller than the first diameter. The sheath may be associated with the magnet in such a way that the magnet with the sheath fitted thereon interfere so that the sheath exerts inward pressure on the magnet.
