Definitions
- the present invention relates to a flexible insulator for rotating electric machine stator, as well as to the corresponding stator.
- the invention finds a particularly advantageous application with rotating electrical machines, such as for example an alternator, an alternator-starter, or even a starter motor vehicle.
- a rotating electric machine stator comprises a substantially cylindrical annular body conventionally constituted by an axial stack of steel sheets.
- the body is equipped with axial notches which are provided to receive conductors forming the coil.
- each free end portion of an axial conductor branch is folded to allow the free ends of each axial branch of the outer layer facing each other and in contact with the free end of an axial branch of the inner layer.
- the pin winding stators thus have on one axial side a set of electrical connection zones distributed in a ring configuration. These electrical connection zones are constituted by pairs of free ends of the connected conductors by a process ensuring good electrical and mechanical properties, for example by welding (laser, or TIG for "Tungsten Inert Gas” in English) or brazing.
- the electrical connections are made on the stripped free ends, generally over a distance of between 3 and 12 mm, enameled wires which constitute the winding.
- the insulation of the bare zones is reconstituted after the electrical connections of the winding wires have been made.
- the conventional impregnation operation of the stator is not sufficient to reconstitute this insulation, insofar as the impregnating varnish layer does not have a sufficient thickness on the stripped portions of the winding wires so that this The layer may tear as a result of contact with chemical agents such as salt spray. It is therefore necessary to carry out, prior to the impregnation operation, an additional step of depositing an epoxy-based powder or liquid resin on all the ends of the wires, as described, for example, in the document EP0978927. This removal, which takes place on a dedicated station, requires the purchase, supply, dosage, removal of the protection product.
- the additional deposition step is accompanied by a long cycle of preheating, heating (gelling) to an elevated temperature above 200 ° C, and then a cooling phase.
- the product used based on epoxy can be toxic to the environment.
- the invention aims to remedy these drawbacks effectively by proposing a flexible insulator folded so as to form a sector of an annular ring or an annular ring and to present crenellated undulations, said corrugations comprising an alternation of bottoms and connected peaks. between them by walls, characterized in that said bottoms are configured to extend between two successive electrical connection regions of a winding of a stator and in that said vertices are configured to cover said electrical connection areas of the winding said stator.
- the electrical connection regions of the winding form at least one ring.
- the invention thus makes it possible to save the slow-cycle supplementary deposit station, insofar as the flexible insulator makes it possible to retain the varnish deposited during the impregnation step of the stator by capillarity. This ensures the deposit of a sufficient amount of varnish on the electrical connection areas so as to reconstitute, after solidification of the varnish, a good protection of the electrical connection areas.
- the flexible insulation is electrical insulation on the one hand and is foldable on the other hand. Foldable, that is to say, it retains in part the shape that was imposed by folding.
- the flexible insulation comprises paper, for example the flexible insulation is paper.
- a face facing the electrical connection areas comprises a heat-activatable resin layer.
- the resin layer is said to be heat-activatable in the sense that the resin becomes adherent when it is brought to a higher activation temperature than the ambient temperature, and then polymerizes when its temperature drops back to room temperature. .
- said walls comprise flaps. These flaps are intended to cover the lateral faces of the electrical connection areas to improve the retention of the varnish during the impregnation step.
- an edge between a given wall and the adjacent bottom and an edge between said given wall and an adjacent vertex have different lengths.
- said edge between said given wall and said adjacent bottom has a length greater than that of said edge located between said given wall and a corresponding apex.
- each bottom comprises a fold so as to separate two contiguous walls of said bottom.
- said flexible insulator is made of the same material as notch insulators of said stator.
- the material of said flexible insulator is selected from one of the following materials: a material comprising polyester and polyester felt, a material comprising a meta-aramid layer of eg Nomex, a polyester layer and a polyester layer; meta-aramid for example Nomex, a material comprising pure meta-aramid for example pure Nomex.
- a surface of said flexible insulator is smooth. In one embodiment, a surface of said flexible insulator is felted. This promotes the retention of the varnish during the impregnation stage.
- the subject of the invention is also a stator of a rotating electrical machine comprising a winding having electrical connection zones located on an axial side and a flexible insulator as previously defined disposed on said electrical connection zones.
- the electrical connection regions of the winding form at least one ring.
- said stator comprises a layer of varnish covering said flexible insulator.
- said winding comprises a set of conductors constituted by pins, said electrical connection areas corresponding to the free ends of said pins electrically bonded to each other by welding or brazing.
- the winding is such that the free ends of pins are 4 by notch of the stator, the connection zones forming two rings and a single flexible insulation covering said two rings.
- Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a stator of rotating electrical machine
- Figure 2 is a perspective view which schematically shows a portion of the stator and two conductors arranged in a notch of the stator;
- Fig. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating the arrangement of the conductors in a notch of the stator portion of Fig. 2;

- Figure 9a shows a stator having conductors having beveled ends
- Figure 9b is a top view of a flexible insulation strip configured to fit the beveled ends of the stator conductors of Figure 9a. Identical, similar or similar elements retain the same reference from one figure to another.
- FIGS. 1 and 5 show a stator 10 of an electric machine comprising a substantially cylindrical annular body 1 1 conventionally constituted by an axial stack of steel sheets.
- the body January 1 is equipped with axial notches 12 which are provided to receive conductors 16 forming a coil 17.
- Each notch 12 is delimited by two teeth 13 successive. These teeth 13 are preferably each provided with a tooth root 15 to improve the magnetic performance of the machine.
- These conductors 16 are son made for example of copper covered with a layer of insulating material, such as only enamel.
- These conductors 16 each have two axial branches Bint, Bext interconnected by a portion 19.
- notch 12 two axial branches Bint, Bext of different conductors 16 are inserted by notch 12.
- the radial stacking of the branches Bint, Bext inside the notches 12 comprises an outer layer of axial branches Bext of conductors 16 and an inner layer of Bint axial branches of conductors 16.
- a notch insulator 21 shown in broken lines in FIG. 3 is positioned inside each notch 12 to electrically insulate the conductors 16 with respect to the body 11.
- each free end portion 24 of an axial branch Bint, Bext conductor 16 is folded twice in a substantially circumferential direction.
- Each free end section 24 is thus folded a first time in the vicinity of the notch outlet 12, so as to have a portion 25 inclined relative to the axis of the stator 10, then it is folded a second time in the vicinity its free end 26, so that its free end 26 is substantially axial orientation.
- the free end sections 24 of the axial branches of the outer layer Bext are folded in one direction and the free end sections 24 of the axial branches of the inner layer Bint are bent in the opposite direction.
- each free end section 24 makes it possible to arrange the free ends 26 of each axial branch Bext of the facing outer layer, and in contact with the free end 26 of an axial branch Bint of the layer internal. This provides a contact surface between the axial branches Bext, Bint of two consecutive conductors 16 which is of sufficient size to provide a reliable electrical connection between the two consecutive conductors 16.
- the stator 10 thus has on one axial side a set of electrical connection zones 29 in a ring configuration. These electric connection areas 29 are constituted by pairs of free ends 26 of the connected conductors by a process ensuring good electrical and mechanical properties, for example by welding (laser, or TIG for "Tungsten Inert Gas” in English) or brazing strong. These electrical connections are made on the stripped ends, generally 3 to 12 mm, enamelled son which constitute the winding 17.
- a flexible insulating strip 31 shown in FIG. 4a is used, which is folded so as to have crenellated corrugations, as can be clearly seen in FIG. 4b.
- These corrugations comprise an alternation of bottoms 32 and vertices 33 interconnected by walls 34.
- the flexible insulating strip 31 is put in place on the electrical connection zones 29, so that the bottoms 32 extend between two successive electrical connection zones 29 of the winding 17 and the vertices 33 cover the electrical connection areas 29 of the winding 17.
- the flexible insulating strip 31 has, in the folded state, a length L1 corresponding to the total circumference of the ring of the electrical connection zones 29, ie a length L1 corresponding to a sector of the ring comprised for example between 10 and 60 degrees. In this case, several sectors are placed end to end to describe the total circumference of the ring of the electrical connection areas 29. As can be seen in FIG. 7a, the flexible insulating strip 31 has a constant width L2 which is slightly greater than the radial dimension of the electrical connection areas 29 to be covered.
- the thermal class of the insulating material is selected as a function of the desired endurance of the stator 10. Thus, the same material is preferably used as the notch insulators 21 of the stator 10.
- the flexible insulation used is thus chosen from one of the materials following: a material comprising polyester and polyester felt, a material comprising a meta-aramid layer, for example Nomex® (registered trademark), a polyester layer and a meta-aramid layer, for example Nomex, a material comprising pure meta-aramid for example pure Nomex.
- the thickness of the flexible insulating strip 31 is chosen to ensure sufficient mechanical stiffness after laying on the son before impregnation.
- the thickness is for example between 0.1 and 0.2 mm and is preferably 0.13 mm.
- the surface of the flexible insulation may be smooth or felted (not calendered) to thereby promote the retention of the varnish.
- each bottom 32 preferably comprises a fold 38 so as to separate the two contiguous walls 34 from said bottom 32 to maintain the flexible insulating strip 31 in compression between two electrical connection zones. 29 adjacent.
- a fold 38 so as to separate the two contiguous walls 34 from said bottom 32 to maintain the flexible insulating strip 31 in compression between two electrical connection zones. 29 adjacent.
- a prepreged flexible insulating strip 31 is used, ie say a flexible insulating strip 31 having a face facing the electrical connection areas 29 comprising a thin layer of resin.
- This resin layer is heat-activatable, which ensures the bonding of the flexible insulating strip 31 during the preheating phase of the parts that precedes the impregnation.
- the heating of the prepreg flexible insulation can alternatively be performed by means of a hot air nozzle at the time of installation.
- the step of impregnating the winding 17 with a varnish 35 shown in FIG. Figure 7b the heated lacquer is introduced in the liquid state, for example by drop by drop or by immersion in the coil 17 of the preheated stator 10, so as to impregnate and hold the winding wires 17.
- flexible insulation 31 can retain by capillary varnish 35 deposited during the impregnation step.
- the walls 34 of the flexible insulation comprise flaps 39. As can be seen in FIG. 8a, these flaps 39 are extend on each side of the flexible insulating strip 31, along one side of two of the walls 34. Once the flexible insulating strip 31 has been placed on the electrical connection areas 29, the walls 34 are extend along longitudinal sides 291 of radial orientation of the electrical connection areas 29, while the flaps 39 are intended to cover the transverse sides 292 of the electrical connection areas 29, as can be seen in Figure 8b. In this case, the flaps 29 from the walls 34 are folded towards the transverse sides 292 of the same electrical connection zone 29 in two opposite directions.
- the flexible insulating strip 31 is cut to follow the profile of the ends.
- the edge 41 between a given wall 34 and the bottom 32 adjacent to which is made the folding has a length greater than that of the edge 42 between the wall 34 and the corresponding vertex 33.
- Bint, Bext of conductors 16, for example four are positioned inside each notch so that there are two crowns of electrical connection zones 29 situated side by side.
- the crowns of connecting zones 29 are covered with a single band of flexible insulation 31.
