Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a collector for a rotary electrical machine and a method of manufacturing this collector.
  • a collector of a type comprising a ceramic support having an external lateral surface arranged along a first conical surface of revolution about an axis, - And metal blades arranged parallel to said axis, next to each other, around the external lateral surface of the support, so that any two juxtaposed blades are separated by a space, each blade being fixed to the support by a metal layer connecting a fixing surface of the blade to the external lateral surface of the support, the fixing surfaces of the blades being arranged along a second conical surface of revolution around said axis, the generatrices of this second conical surface being substantially parallel to those of the first conical surface.
  • the support can be formed by a substantially tubular alumina piece and the metal blades are generally made of copper, the metal layer fixing the blades on the support can be either a eutectic of copper and copper oxide, or a metallic element of solder.
  • Such a collector can be produced by a method comprising the following operations - an assembly of a metal ring, having a conical inner surface of revolution about an axis, with a ceramic support, having a conical outer surface, of the same conicity as that of the inner surface of the ring, so as to bringing the conical surfaces of the support and the ring along said axis, - An arrangement of this assembly in an oven so that said axis is vertical, the virtual point of the conical surface of the support and the ring being upwards, the support being immobilized relative to the base of the oven, the ring resting freely on the external surface of the support, - a rise in the temperature of the oven to a value sufficient to cause, after cooling, the fixing of the ring on the support - And machining of the ring so as to obtain the collector blades in radial planes.
  • the temperature of the furnace can be brought to a value of the order of 1075 ° C. so as to form, between the ring and the support, a eutectic of the metal of the ring and of an oxide of this metal, this eutectic constituting, after cooling, a metal layer for fixing the ring on the support. It is also possible, before assembly, to metallize the external surface of the support and to interpose between the support and the ring a metal sheet of solder, the rise in temperature of the oven in the region of 850 ° C. then being sufficient to melt this sheet of solder. .
  • the collector thus produced can withstand a high operating temperature, of the order of 200 to 300 degrees centigrade. However, it can be seen, in certain cases, that this collector has insufficient mechanical strength for high rotational speeds: in this case, the copper blades are detached by carrying a ceramic film.
  • the present invention aims to overcome this drawback and to provide a collector capable of both operating at high temperatures and mechanically withstanding high rotational speeds.
  • the subject of the present invention is a collector for a rotary electric machine, of the type mentioned above, characterized in that the support comprises several ceramic parts, arranged along said axis, any two juxtaposed parts being separated from one the other by an axial interval, so as to reduce the length of the generators in contact between the support and the ring.
  • the collector according to the invention can also have the following characteristics: - for each ceramic part, the height of the conical surface in contact with the metal of the blades, counted parallel to said axis, is less than 60 mm, - one of said two juxtaposed pieces further comprises an outer cylindrical surface of revolution around said axis, the other of said two juxtaposed pieces further comprises an inner cylindrical surface of revolution around said axis, said outer and inner cylindrical surfaces cooperating so to be able to slide axially one over the other, the metal layer is an eutectic of the metal of the blades and of an oxide of this metal, - the metallic layer is a metallic element of brazing.
  • the present invention also relates to a method of manufacturing a manifold for a rotary electrical machine, characterized in that it comprises the following operations - An assembly of a metal ring having a conical inner surface of revolution around an axis, with several ceramic pieces each having a conical outer surface of the same conicity as that of the inner surface of the ring, so as to bring into contact the external surfaces of the parts with the internal conical surface of the ring, the parts then being separated from one another by an axial gap, - An arrangement of this assembly in an oven so that said axis is vertical, the virtual point of the conical surfaces of the parts and of the ring being downwards, the ring being immobilized relative to the base of the oven, said parts resting freely on the inner surface of the ring, - a rise in the oven temperature to a value sufficient to obtain, after cooling, the attachment of the parts to the ring - And machining of the ring so as to obtain manifold blades along radial planes.
  • the value of the rise in temperature of the furnace can be sufficient to form between the ceramic parts and the ring a layer of a eutectic of the metal of the ring and of an oxide of this metal.
  • a metallization layer is placed on the conical outer surface of the ceramic parts and a brazing sheet is interposed between the metallization layer of the parts and the conical inner surface of the ring, the value of the rise in temperature of the oven being sufficient to melt the solder sheet.
  • the method of manufacturing a manifold first comprises, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the assembly of two ceramic parts 1 and 2 with a metal ring 3, preferably made of copper.
  • the ring 3 is of revolution around an axis 4 and has a conical inner surface 5.
  • the value of the angle at the top of the cone is not critical.
  • the angle A of axis 4 with the generator of the cone will for example be between arctg 1/20 and arctg 1/50.
  • the ceramic part 2 preferably of alumina, has a conical outer surface 6 of the same conical angle A as that of the conical inner surface 5 of the ring 3.
  • This part 2, of revolution, is arranged coaxially inside of the ring 3 so that the conical surface 6 of this part is in contact with the surface 5 of the ring 3, over a height h2.
  • the ceramic part 1 also made of alumina, has a conical outer surface 7 of the same conical angle A as that of the inner surface 5 of the ring 3.
  • This part 1, also of revolution, is arranged coaxially inside the ring 3 so that its conical surface 7 is in contact with the conical surface 5 of the part 3, over a height h1.
  • the conical surfaces 6 and 7 are machined so that after assembly in the ring 3 the parts 6 and 7 are separated from one another by an axial gap 8, of the order of 1 to 2 mm.
  • the assembly is arranged in an oven 9 so that the axis 4 is vertical and that the ring 3 rests on the base 10 of the oven 9 by means of a cylindrical support 11, for example made of refractory steel.
  • a cylindrical support 11 for example made of refractory steel.
  • the vertical top of the contact cone between the parts 1, 2 and the ring 3 is located downward, below the ring 3. The parts 1 and 2 thus rest on the conical surface 5 of the ring 3.
  • the ring 3 previously surface-oxidized, for example by heating in air at 400 ° C. for 3 min, is assembled as above indicated, and placed in an oven containing a neutral gas with a proportion of 0.05 to 0.5% oxygen.
  • the oven temperature is gradually raised.
  • the parts 1 and 2 move by gravity slightly downwards during heating, the value of the axial interval 8 being substantially retained.
  • the temperature reaches 1065 ° C, the copper oxide layer between the ring 3 and the parts 1 and 2 transforms into a liquid film formed of a copper-copper oxide eutectic, this film being very adherent on the ceramic.
  • the temperature of the oven is raised to 1075 ° C. then gradually lowered so as to solidify the metallic film and form two metallic layers 12 and 13 made up of said eutectic.
  • the cooling causes a tightening of the ring 3 on the ceramic parts 1 and 2. This tightening causes a compression of the metallic layers 12 and 13, which ensures a good fixing of the ring 3 on the alumina parts 1 and 2.
  • the method of manufacturing the collector then comprises a machining of the ring 3 so as to obtain collector blades along radial planes.
  • This machining can be carried out by any suitable means, for example by milling, using a wire saw or by wire EDM.
  • the left part of Figure 2 shows the assembly during the operation of fixing the ring on the ceramic parts.
  • the right part of Figure 2 shows the first blades 14 and 15 cut in the ring 3 by notches made along radial planes.
  • the collector is then machined to final dimensions.
  • the collector produced by the method described above, using two separate ceramic parts, ensuring connections of axial heights h1 and h2, has the advantage of having, at high rotational speeds, very high mechanical strength. greater than that of a known collector produced using a single ceramic part ensuring an axial height connection h1 + h2.
  • the force for tearing off the blades per unit of area is three times greater for a collector according to the invention, produced using two separate ceramic pieces, 40 mm in height, than for a collector made with a ceramic piece 80 mm high according to the known art mentioned above.
  • the axial height h1, h2 of the conical surface in contact with the metal of the ring is preferably less than 60 mm.
  • the increased mechanical strength of the manifold according to the invention can be explained by the following considerations: the reduction of this axial length reduces the longitudinal stresses created in the ring during cooling in the oven, these stresses being transmitted to the ceramic by the metal fixing layer. The reduction of these longitudinal stresses increases the resistance of the ceramic to centrifugation for the high rotational speeds of the collector.
  • FIG. 3 shows an assembly also comprising two ceramic parts 1 and 2, as well as a metal ring 3, similar to those of FIG. 1, but in this case, the ring 3 is not not previously surface-oxidized.
  • metallization layers 16 and 17 are deposited on the cylindrical surfaces of the two ceramic parts, and a brazing sheet 18 is interposed between these layers and the ring 3.
  • Metallization is carried out in a known manner, for example by depositing a molybdenum-manganese paste, followed by baking at 1600 ° C. under humidified hydrogen, then electrolytic deposition of 10 microns of copper or nickel and diffusion annealing to 900 to 1000 ° C under dry hydrogen.
  • the assembly is placed in an oven 9, the ring 3 resting on a support 11 and the top of the assembly cone being directed downwards.
  • the temperature of the oven is raised so as to obtain the melting of the solder sheet 18.
  • the parts 1 and 2 descend progressively while maintaining good contact between the metallization layers and the solder sheet, the value of the axial interval 8 between parts 1 and 2 being substantially preserved.
  • the method of manufacturing the collector finally comprises the operation of separating the blades, similar to that described for the assembly of FIG. 1.
  • FIGS. 4 and 5 are used in methods of manufacturing a manifold similar to that illustrated by Figure 1, but which differ in the number and shape of the ceramic parts.
  • the assembly shown in FIG. 4 also comprises two ceramic parts 19 and 20.
  • the part 20 comprises, in addition to its conical surface, an external cylindrical surface 22 of revolution around the axis 4
  • the part 19 comprises in addition to its conical surface, an inner cylindrical surface 21 of revolution about the axis 4.
  • These surfaces 21 and 22 cooperate by sliding, so as to allow a slight mutual axial displacement of the two parts for example during the operation of heating in the oven, this movement can in no case remove the axial gap 8 between the two parts.
  • the assembly shown in FIG. 5 comprises three ceramic parts 23, 24 and 25.
  • the intermediate part 24 comprises on either side of its conical surface two external cylindrical surfaces 26 and 27 which cooperate respectively with two internal cylindrical surfaces of the parts 23 and 25 opposite the conical surfaces of these two parts.
  • an axial gap such as 28 and 29 is maintained between two adjacent parts, this gap possibly being of the order of 1 to 2 mm.
  • the number of ceramic pieces of the collector is chosen so that, for each piece, the axial height opposite the metal of the ring is less than 60 mm.
