Publication number: 20230155447Abstract: A cover for a rotating electric machine includes an axis of rotation (X), the cover being designed to be arranged on an inverter of the machine. The cover includes a skirt extending in a radial direction and forming a perimeter of the cover, the perimeter defining an inner portion of the cover and an open area arranged in the inner portion and comprising at least one axial opening. The open area extends over at least 50% of the inner portion of the cover.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2021Publication date: May 18, 2023Applicant: VALEO EQUIPEMENTS ELECTRIQUES MOTEURInventors: Clement BERNARD, Benoit WALME, Charlie ZANELLA, Sebastien BEAUCOTE, David DUMONTAGNE, Charles DUMEZ, Mario DA CRUZ REBELO, Abdelaziz AZIZI SAMIR, Manuel FALGUIER

Publication number: 20220360130Abstract: A winding for an active portion of a rotary electric machine has at least one phase system including a plurality of phases each including a first energizing pin and a second energizing pin each forming a phase input or output. Each energizing pin includes an energizing end that extends out of the slot and each energizing end that forms a phase output being electrically connected to an energizing end that forms a phase input of a different phase, in order to achieve a delta configuration. The winding includes a first set including at least one energizing end forming a phase input and at least one other energizing end forming a phase output, and a second set including at least one energizing end forming a phase input and at least one other energizing end forming a phase output.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2020Publication date: November 10, 2022Applicant: VALEO EQUIPEMENTS ELECTRIQUES MOTEURInventors: Maxime GROSPEAUD, Alexandre SCHMITT, Clement BERNARD, Jean-Francois GAUTRU, Wojciech MANDOK, Stephane DE CLERCQ, Cyril PICARD

Publication number: 20220255390Abstract: A winding for an active part of a rotary electric machine having at least one phase system. The winding includes a plurality of phases each including a first power supply pin and a second power supply pin each forming a phase input or output, each power supply pin including a power supply end that extends outside the slot and extends a conductive segment that extends inside the slot. At least one portion of a first power supply end is arranged on an inner periphery of the winding, the first end extending a conductive segment arranged in an external layer and at least one portion of a second power supply end is arranged on an outer periphery of the winding, said second end extending a conductive segment arranged in an internal layer, the inner periphery being closer to the axis than the outer periphery and the internal and external layers forming edge layers.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 1, 2020Publication date: August 11, 2022Applicant: VALEO EQUIPEMENTS ELECTRIQUES MOTEURInventors: Maxime GROSPEAUD, Alexandre SCHMITT, Pierre FAVEROLLE, Wojciech MANDOK, Clement BERNARD, Stephane DE CLERCQ, Paul ARMIROLI, Damien LE GAC

Patent number: 10443850Abstract: A combustion chamber for a turbomachine that includes a chamber end wall and a plurality of air and fuel injection systems distributed circumferentially about an axis of the combustion chamber. The combustion chamber includes, associated with each injection system, a guide device for guiding an airflow including at least one wall mounted on the injection system and projecting in the upstream direction, one wall acting as an obstacle to a circumferential flow of air around the axis. The one wall of the guide device for guiding the airflow has a shape substantially defining a quarter of a spheroid the interior volume of which forms a guide scoop for guiding the airflow feeding the combustion chamber.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2016Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: SAFRAN AIRCRAFT ENGINESInventors: Sebastien Alain Christophe Bourgois, Romain Nicolas Lunel, Clement Bernard, Frederic Dos Santos, Sebastien Loval
