  • Patent number: 10840765
    Abstract: The invention primarily relates to an assembly, in particular for a hybrid vehicle, wherein the assembly comprises; an enclosure (46) for receiving a coolant liquid and having an opening (49) for bringing the inside of the enclosure (46) into communication with the outside of the enclosure (46), a rotary electric machine (10) arranged in the enclosure (46) able to be cooled by the coolant liquid, an electrical connector element (51) arranged to be electrically connected to the rotary electric machine (10), the connector element (51) being sealingly mounted in the opening (49) of the enclosure (46) in such a way that the connector element (51) participates in the sealing that prevents the liquid from flowing from the inside of the enclosure (46) to the outside of the enclosure (46) via the opening (49).

  • Patent number: 9680356
    Abstract: An architecture of interconnected electronic power modules for a polyphase rotary machine, includes electrically interconnected power modules (5) and a connector (6) including one or more layers formed by pluralities of conductive traces borne by plates, such as to connect the power modules (51 to 53) to one another and to electrical elements of the rotary machine. The power modules (51 to 53) include a plurality of connection elements (510 to 530) brazed directly to components of the power modules (51 to 53) and, in the upper part, to conductive traces of the connector (6). This architecture includes a heat sink (4) equipped with open cavities (41 to 43) for receiving the power modules (51 to 53). A polyphase rotary machine is also provided using such an architecture, in particular a dual three-phase alternator with synchronous rectification.

  • Patent number: 9601973
    Abstract: A method for interconnecting electronic power modules of a polyphase rotary electric machine. The power modules are disposed in open cavities of a heat sink and comprise substrates on which are provided MOSFETs of a synchronous rectifier bridge and integrated control circuits. The method comprises the production of: a planar connector (6) including at least one layer of conductive traces (64); a plurality of interconnection elements (512) arranged in multiple geometric formations and ultrasonically welded or brazed (S2) directly to the substrates (51) and/or the MOSFETs; and openings (65) in the planar connector (6) allowing the free passage of the upper ends (5120) of the connection elements (512) and a mechanical contact with the conductive traces (64). The electrical connections are obtained by means of laser (8) transmission welding (S1) or electric resistance welding.

  • Patent number: 8531067
    Abstract: An alternator includes a stator S, a rotor R and a transistor bridge, which form synchronous rectification. The synchronous rectification is in the form of an over-molded mechatronic housing (2), and the mechatronic housing includes an electronic power substrate (3) and power connection terminals (23), (24). Electronic chips (300A, 300B) are implanted on the electronic power substrate, and at least one of the power connection terminals is connected electrically to the electronic chip by means of at least a first soldered connection wire (300, 301, 302, 30B+, 30B?). According to one embodiment, the electronic power substrate is of the IMS, DBC or PCB type.
