  • Patent number: 10868458
    Abstract: The brush-holder regulator comprises a casing made from an insulating material suitable for being mounted on a rear bearing of an alternator and forming a one-piece assembly with at least one housing suitable for containing brushes allowing an electrical connection to be established with an excitation winding of a rotor of the alternator, an electronic control component (22) connected electrically to a trace circuit (21) overmoulded in the casing, and a cooling radiator (24) for the control component. According to the invention, the control component comprises a back electrode (225) on which the radiator (24) is mounted, the back electrode (225) and the radiator (24) being in electrical and thermal contact and rigidly attached to a portion (216) of the trace circuit.

  • Publication number: 20200313496
    Abstract: A voltage regulator with brush holder assembly (100) for a rotary electric machine intended for an automotive vehicle, which assembly comprises: —a brush holder comprising brushes that are capable of coming into electrical contact with a rotor of the rotary electric machine in order to apply an excitation signal thereto; —a microcontroller for regulating said excitation signal; —a body made of electrically insulating material, said body taking the overall shape of a T and in which said brush holder and said microcontroller are housed, characterized in that the voltage regulator with brush holder assembly (100) comprises two parts: —a first part (200) forming a central portion of the T-shaped body and extending along a first axis (z1-z2), said first part (200) comprising a housing (201) for accommodating the brush holder and a second part (300) forming a lateral portion of the T-shaped body and extending along a second axis (y1-y2) perpendicular to said first axis (z1-z2), said integrated circuit being housed

  • Patent number: 10491079
    Abstract: The invention relates mainly to a rotary electrical machine for a motor vehicle, comprising: a heat dissipater (65); two power modules (50) integrated in the heat dissipater (65), each comprising rectifier elements (53) which form three rectifier bridge arms (52), connection terminals (58) associated with the rectifier bridge arms (52), and a control unit which can control the rectifier bridge arms; and a connector (61) which establishes electrical connections, in particular between the terminals (58) for connection of the power modules (50) and the phase outputs of the rotary electrical machine.
