Patent number: 8446064Abstract: A rotor (24) for a rotary electric machine (20), mainly for the automotive industry, has a front polar wheel (46N) and a rear polar wheel (46S). Each polar wheel (46N, 46S) includes claws (52) extending axially towards the other polar wheel (46N, 46S). Each claw (52) of the polar wheel (46N, 46S) is circumferentially interleaved between two claws (52) of the other polar wheel (46N, 46S). At least two interpolar gaps (62) are provided between the side faces (60) opposite two consecutive claws (52), and at least two members (68) defining a magnetic barrier are provided in two interpolar gaps (62) associated on either side of a predetermined claw (52D). The front longitudinal ends (72) of the two members (68) are connected by a connector (82) in order to define an open chain (80).Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2007Date of Patent: May 21, 2013Assignee: Valeo Equipments Electriques MoteurInventors: Alexandre Pfleger, Olivier Gas

Patent number: 8354771Abstract: A rotor (1) for a rotary electrical machine, which includes two pole wheels (2) having a series of axial claw poles (20) of a trapezoidal overall shape which extend axially from the extreme radial outer edge of the pole wheel (2a) toward the other pole wheel (2b), such that each pole claw (20a, 20b) of a pole wheel (2a, 2b) is situated in the space which exists between two consecutive claw poles (20a) of the other pole wheel (2b). The rotor (1) includes magnetic assemblies (3) in the interpole space (22). An assembly (3) is composed of at least one magnetic member (31) and at least one magnet (30), received in a groove (21) made in each of the facing edge faces of the two adjacent claw poles (20a, 20b). This has the advantage of increasing the cross-section for the flow of rotor flux towards the stator, and of enabling the same milling cutter as has already been used to make the grooves in the edge faces of the claw poles.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2008Date of Patent: January 15, 2013Assignee: Valeo Equipements Electriques MoteurInventors: Alexandre Pfleger, Olivier Gas, Jean-Claude Mipo, Lilya Bouarroudj

Patent number: 8008834Abstract: The claw-pole-rotor shaft has a front end with a radially larger-sized section, two knurled regions known as crimping regions, intended to be assembled with the claw-pole rotor by local deformation of the material of the claw-pole rotor, and a centring region for centring the claw-pole rotor, the crimping regions being positioned on each side of the centring region while the centring region projects radially with respect to the crimping regions of the shaft, these themselves projecting radially with respect to the section of larger radial size at the front end of the shaft. The claw-pole rotor is characterized in that it is equipped with such a shaft while the rotary electrical machine is characterized in that it is equipped with such a rotor.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2007Date of Patent: August 30, 2011Assignee: Valeo Equipments Electriques MoteurInventors: Olivier Gas, Alexandre Pfleger
