Definitions
- the present invention relates to rotating electrical machines comprising a stator package of magnetic sheets.
- the sheets conventionally form slots receiving the turns of the stator windings of the machine.
- it is known to form the sheets with fins and / or cooling channels.
- the machines can be classified in two families, namely machines with carcass and machines without carcass.
- the term "carcass” designates a part of the machine intended to surround externally the stator, which part came from casting, being for example aluminum.
- the "carcass” is distinguished from a simple “casing", which designates a part formed in a simple folded or stamped sheet.
- the carcass has a structural function.
- the housing has no structural function but a function for guiding the flow of the cooling fluid, for example air.
- stator plates In the first category, the package of stator plates is received in a carcass.
- Application FR 2 927 736 and US Pat. No. 5,331,238 and US Pat. No. 7,633,194 disclose machines with a carcass.
- the stator laminations may have sub-packages with fins, which are staggered along the machine, to create turbulence and increase cooling efficiency.
- the application DE 10 2012 017 293 relates to an electrical machine in which the stack of sheets can be arranged in a carcass.
- the package of sheets In the second category, the machine being devoid of carcass, the package of sheets directly defines the outer surface of the machine, regardless of the presence of a possible casing.
- Unwrapped machines are known from WO 2007/002216, US 8,519,580, US 2005/0067905 and WO 2005/022718. These machines most often use a sheet of generally square shape.
- the stator plate package In WO 2007/002216, the stator plate package is made with fins.
- the sheet package In US 8,519,580, the sheet package is made with internal channels.
- the carcass represents a relatively high cost and creates an additional thermal barrier with the exterior. It is however necessary in some machines to close the channels of coolant.
- FIRE I LLE OF REM PLACEM ENT (RULE 26) A machine without a carcass may be less expensive to manufacture; however, the sharp edges that result from the cutting of the fins on the outside of the plate bundle can lead to injuries in handling the stator.
- the invention aims to remedy at least part of the disadvantages of known machines and to further improve the electrical machines and it achieves this through a rotating electrical machine comprising a stator, the stator comprising a magnetic sheet package composed of at least a first subpacket and at least a second subpacket adjacent to the first, the sheets of the first and second subpackets each having at least one fin formed at the periphery of the corresponding sheet, the fins of two subpackages consecutive being offset angularly relative to each other, so as to create a disturbance of the flow of a cooling fluid between the fins at the transition between the first and second subpacket, the machine further comprising a housing covering at least partially the sheet package, including a sheet metal housing.
- Such a housing can serve as a cover and guide the cooling fluid on the outside of the package of sheets, and thus further improve the efficiency of cooling.
- the housing may surround the stator to guide cooling fluid between the fins.
- the housing may come into contact with at least a portion of the fins, or all the fins.
- the housing may be different from a carcass made by foundry, as in the machines of the prior art.
- the housing can guide the cooling fluid, including air for example, but does not stiffen the package of sheets.
- the structural function of maintenance can be provided otherwise, for example by means of tie rods housed in holes of the plate package.
- the housing may in particular be in contact only occasionally, or not at all, with the package of sheets. Its fixing can in this case be ensured by studs for example.
- the housing can thus have a role called "dressing" of the package of sheets, but do not serve as housing for it.
- the housing may comprise a sheet wound around the magnetic laminations of the stator.
- the sheet of the housing may have a thickness of less than 4 mm, better than 3, for example of the order of 2 mm.
- a sheet metal housing can allow, for a very low cost, to promote the circulation of the cooling fluid between the fins.
- This housing can also be used to personalize the machine, being of any color and / or carrying any desired decoration, for example a logo.
- the machine according to the invention is preferably devoid of carcass, without the disadvantages of known machines without carcass and with a possibility of increased cooling.
- the machine may comprise channels formed between the fins, at least half of these channels, or at least two-thirds of the channels, better at least three quarters of the channels, or all the channels being open to the outside.
- the disruption of the flow within the channels at the transition between the sub-packets makes it possible to increase the heat exchange between the plate package and the cooling fluid with respect to a straight passage that induces little turbulence. .
- the cooling is improved compared to a machine without carcass whose channels are straight due to the use of identical sheets superimposed to achieve them.
- the invention allows improved cooling and further allows, if desired, the use of channels with shapes that are not well suited to mounting in a carcass, unlike the prior art.
- the invention makes it possible to avoid having to produce complicated shapes of castings.
- the machine can be a closed machine complying with IP 55 or an open machine according to IP 23.
- the machine may be devoid of closed channels.
- “Closed channel” means a channel formed in the magnetic sheet of the stator, which is not open radially on the outside for at least part of its length, being for example delimited by external walls made during cutting sheets, as opposed to an open channel.
- the machine comprises open channels formed between the fins.
- the sheets of the subpackets may be identical but offset angularly from one subpacket to another by a 360 ° / n angle around the X axis of the machine, with n non-zero integer, the sheets being without symmetry by a rotation of 360 ° / n so that the fins of the plates thus offset create said disturbance of the flow at the transition between the sub-packets.
- the variable n may be equal to 2, 4 or 8.
- the sheets may comprise at least one external marking notch, providing information on the orientation of each subpacket within the packet.
- the sheets of the first and second subpackets may differ from each other only by the position of the fins.
- the fins of the sheets of the first subpacket and the fins of the sheets of the second subpacket may be offset angularly from one subpacket to another, for example at an angle of between 0.25 ° and 1, 25 °, better between 0.5 ° and 1.0 °, being for example of the order of 0.75 °.
- the fins of the sheets of the first and second subpackets may be shifted by at least 1 mm, or at least 2 mm, more preferably by at least 3 mm.
- At least one of the fins of a subpacket can be positioned between two fins of the adjacent subpacket such that a channel traversing a subpacket opens into two channels of the adjacent subpacket.
- the sheets may be of generally circular outline. As a variant, they may be of generally polygonal outline, in particular square, preferably square with truncated corners.
- the sheets may be symmetrical with respect to each of two planes perpendicular to each other and containing the axis of the machine. Alternatively, they may be non-symmetrical with respect to each of two planes perpendicular to each other and containing the axis of the machine.
- Each subpacket comprises for example between 35 and 140 sheets.
- the sheets are all identical, with the difference between the sub-packets.
- Each sheet may be monolithic or formed of assembled sectors.
- the machine may comprise an alternation of at least four subpackages.
- the subpackets can be strictly identical two-to-two, being arranged alternately.
- the machine may comprise in an exemplary embodiment an alternation of at least two first sub-packets and two second sub-packets.
- the bundle of plates may comprise holes opening through a passage laterally outwards, tie rods being engaged in these holes and welded to the sheets via said passages, the holes being preferably located between the fins.
- the machine can be mounted or not cantilever on a member to train or coach, including an air compressor, as disclosed in US Pat. No. 7,573,165 in particular.
- the machine may comprise a front flange adjacent to the member to train or coach, provided with support lugs, and a rear flange without support legs.
- the machine has front and rear flanges each provided with support legs.
- the cooling of the machine can be carried out with a fan driven by the machine shaft or with an independent motor-fan, attached to the sheet metal package or on a flange of the machine.
- FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic perspective view of a rotary electric machine according to the invention
- FIG. 2 is a view after removal of a portion of the housing
- FIG. 3 illustrates a detail of FIG.
- FIG. 4 is a front view, schematic and partial, of the detail of FIG. 3,
- FIG. 5 is a close-up view
- Figures 6 and 7 are front views, schematic and partial, of a magnetic plate of the machine of Figures 1 to 5.
- FIGS. 1 to 7 show a rotary electric machine 1 according to the invention, comprising a stator 2 and a rotor 3 housed in a housing 5. It may be a synchronous motor or alternator or asynchronous, with permanent magnets or not.
- the machine is devoid of carcass.
- the housing 5 comprises a sheet 6 wound around the stator. Such a casing can thus serve as dressing machine.
- the stator 3 comprises a pack 10 composed of an assembly of superimposed magnetic sheets 20, one of which is shown separately in front view of FIG.
- Each sheet 20 is made for example of magnetic steel covered with an electrical insulating varnish on its opposite faces, in a manner known per se.
- the machine is an internal rotor and each sheet 20 has a central opening 21 for the passage of the rotor 3, into which notches 23 cut into the sheet metal are made between teeth 2b which are intended to receive the electrical conductors of the stator windings.
- the sheet 20 has a continuous annular yoke 2a behind the notches, the outer contour being generally circular.
- the packet 10 is itself composed of two first subpackets 50 and two second subpackets 60 which follow each other along the axis X of the stator and which are arranged alternately, each first subpacket 50 being adjacent to the minus a second subpacket 60.
- the sheets 20 of the first and second subpackets each comprise fins 100 formed at the periphery of the corresponding sheet.
- the sheets of the first and second subpackets differ from each other only by the position of the fins. Within each subpacket, the sheets are identical.
- the fins 100 of two consecutive subpackets 50, 60 are angularly offset relative to each other by an angle ⁇ , as can be seen in FIG. 4, so as to create a disturbance of the flow.
- the fins 100 of a subpacket 50 can be positioned between two fins
- a channel 110 traversing a subpacket opens into two channels of the adjacent subpacket.
- channels 110 may circulate a fluid participating in the cooling of the stator, for example air.
- the fins 100 of the sheets of the first and second subpackets may be offset by a distance e which may be equivalent to a value between one third and two thirds of the pitch of the fins and preferably half the pitch of the fins, this distance e being measured on the surface of the yoke 2a of the stator 2.
- the housing surrounds the package 10 of magnetic laminations 20 of the stator to guide the coolant to the outside of the laminations, between the fins 100.
- the crankcase can be mounted with a small clearance relative to the end of the fins , for example a game of the order of 1 to 2 mm. This low clearance helps to force the cooling fluid to pass between the fins.
- the machine comprises for this purpose channels 110 formed between the fins 100, these channels being open to the outside. The machine 1 is thus devoid of closed channels.
- the sheets 20 are of generally circular contour and are symmetrical with respect to each of two planes P and Q perpendicular to each other and containing the axis of the machine.
- the bundle of sheets comprises portions 30 each traversed by a hole 31 opening through a laterally outward passage, tie rods 33 being engaged in these holes 31 and welded to the sheets via said passages, the holes 31 being located between the fins 100
- the assembly of the stator laminations is thus ensured by the insertion of four steel rods 33 into the holes 31, which are then welded all along said passages.
- the sheet 20 is preferably manufactured monolithically by cutting a strip with its final shape, but alternatively the package 10 is formed by winding on itself a chain of sectors or by assembling sectors (each constituting 1/4 or 1/8 of a complete sheet) for very large machines.
- the use of a sheet metal sector is advantageous for this type of electric machine.
- the tie rods 33 are optionally used to assemble the package 10 with the front and rear flanges of the machine.
- the sheets 20 can also be assembled together by stapling, in a manner known per se.
- the machine may comprise a fan driven in rotation by the shaft of the machine, so that the channels 110 are traversed by a forced air flow during operation of the machine. It is also possible to mount a fan motor inside the machine to ensure cooling over the entire operating range.
