  • Patent number: 11349370
    Abstract: The invention relates mainly to a rotary electric machine for a motor vehicle. The machine (10) comprises a shaft (13); a rotor (12); a stator (16) comprising a body (25) provided with slots, and a winding (26) inserted into the slots; a first bearing (37) and a second bearing (38) surrounding an assembly formed by the rotor and the stator and each comprising a housing (40, 44) for rotatably mounting the rotor shaft (13). The first bearing comprises a transverse flange (371) and a cylindrical wall (372) of axial orientation derived from an outer periphery of said flange. The second bearing comprises a transverse flange (48) closing the first bearing and at least one rim (63) projecting from the flange and forming a junction area (64) where it joins the first bearing. Furthermore, the stator body has a region (Z1) of shrink-fitting to the cylindrical wall.

  • Patent number: 11058036
    Abstract: An electronic assembly for a rotary electric machine for a motor vehicle is disclosed. The electronic assembly includes electronic component blocks having different thermal dissipation needs, the blocks including a power block and a control block. The assembly also includes a device for cooling the blocks and having a protective cover suitable for covering the power and control blocks. The protective cover includes a first set of openings configured to be positioned opposite a first cooling element coupled to the power block, and opposite the control block, the first cooling element being a first dissipator provided with a base plate, the base plate protruding with respect to the power block to create a first radial flow of cooling air (F1) for the power block and a second radial flow of cooling air (F2) for the control block.

  • Patent number: 9935520
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an electronic assembly (10) for a rotary electric machine (1) for a motor vehicle. Said electronic assembly is characterized by comprising: blocks (100, 200, 300) of electronic components, the blocks having different heat dissipation needs, the blocks being: a power block (100), a filter block (200), a control block (300), and a device (10?) for cooling said blocks (100, 200, 300); said cooling device (10?) comprising: a protective cover (400) suitable for covering the power, filter and control blocks (100, 200, 300), said protective cover comprising openings (401, 402, 403, 404) suitable for generating cooling air flows which differ according to the heat dissipation needs of each of the power (100), control (200) and filter (300) blocks; and cooling elements (101, 201) coupled with said protective cover (400).
