Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to electric machines. More specifically, the present disclosure is concerned with a cast cooling arrangement for electric machines and with electric machines provided with such a cast cooling arrangement.
- Electric machines motors or generators, are well known in the art. It is also widely known that electric machines generate heat as a byproduct and that this heat must be somehow extracted from the machine to improve the performance of the machine and/or prevent early degradation or failure thereof.
- Electric machines are often air-cooled. This is generally done by providing apertures in the body of the machine to force air therethrough. The efficiency of such a cooling arrangement is generally poor since air is a generally low efficiency cooling fluid. Furthermore, some electric machines operate in environments that are such that it is not possible to provide apertures to allow air therein. Accordingly, fluid cooling arrangements for electric machines have also been designed.
- stator In an internal stator and an external rotor generally enclosing the stator.
- the stator has a generally cylindrical body and coils are so mounted to the cylindrical body as to outwardly produce a magnetic field that interacts with the externally provided rotor. Since the heat is generally generated in the stator that is somewhat enclosed by the rotor, it may be difficult to install a fluid cooling arrangement inside an enclosed stator of such an external rotor electric machine.

- an electric machine comprising an internal stator having an internal surface provided with longitudinal channels; an external rotor coaxially mounted about the internal stator and a liquid cooling arrangement cast in the internal stator, the liquid cooling arrangement comprising a cast heat-storing element and conduits defining a cooling path having an inlet and an outlet.
- a method of forming a stator provided with a cast cooling arrangement comprising: providing a generally cylindrical stator core having an internal surface provided with longitudinal channels; placing the stator core into a mold having an internal wall and a bottom wall; the mold defining a chamber between the internal wall, the bottom wall and the internal surface of the generally cylindrical stator core; providing a cooling conduit; placing the cooling conduit in the chamber; and casting a heat-conducting material into the chamber.
- cast cooling arrangements are designed to be cast directly into a stator core, made for example of stacked laminations.
- the cast cooling arrangements described herein include a heat-storing element enclosing conduits defining a cooling path allowing cooling fluid to flow therethrough to remove heat from the heat-storing element, and thereby cool the electric machine.
- the stator core is provided with multiple longitudinal internal channels that are filled during the casting process. The channels are so shaped that an adequate contact is maintained even during unequal dilatation and/or contraction of the cooling arrangement and of the stator caused by heat.
- Figure 1 of the appended drawings illustrates an electric machine 10 provided with an external rotor 12 and an internal stator 14.
- the external rotor 12 is provided with permanent magnets 16 facing the internal stator 14.
- the internal stator 14 includes a stator core 18, coils 20 and a cast cooling arrangement 22 provided with a cooling path having an inlet 23 and an outlet 25.

- FIG. 1 illustrates the stator core 18 and the internally cast cooling arrangement 22.
- the stator core 18 is provided with externally facing longitudinal channels 24 so configured and sized as to receive the coils 20 therein and with internally facing longitudinal channels 26 into which a portion of the heat-storing element 33 of the cooling arrangement 22 is cast, as will be described hereinbelow.
- the cast cooling arrangement 22 includes a cooling path defined by a plurality of conduits 28 embedded in the heat-storing element 33to allow cooling fluid (not shown) to flow therein to thereby remove heat from the heat-storing element 33 and therefore to cool the electric machine.
- the plurality of conduits 28 are integral and are arranged in a serpentine cooling tube 29 provided with the inlet 23 and outlet 25 as illustrated in Figure 3.
- Figure 4 illustrates a portion of the stator core before the casting of the heat-storing element 33 and the installation of the coils therein.
- the internally facing longitudinal channels 26 define inwardly facing teeth 30.
- the sidewalls of the channels 26 are not radial but are slightly tapered so that the channels widen outwardly to create a wedge shape channel.
- the longitudinal channels 26 are generally dovetail shaped. For example an angle 31 of about two (2) degrees can be provided. The purpose of this wedge shape will be described hereinbelow.
- wider longitudinal channels 27 are also provided. As can be seen form Figure 5, the purpose of these wider channels 27 is to ensure a minimal distance between the teeth 30 and the serpentine cooling tube 29 to allow the adequate casting of the heat-storing element 33.
- stator core 18 can be made of a stack of laminations that have been cut using stamping or other processes.
- FIG. 4 the fabrication and assembly of a stator provided with a cast cooling arrangement according to an illustrative embodiment will be described. For clarity purpose, only a portion of the stator will be illustrated.
- Figure 4 illustrates the stator core
- stator core 18 is so mounted to the bottom wall 34 as to provide an adequate seal therebetween. It is then possible to let the material forming the cast heat-storing element 33 to flow in the mold.
- serpentine cooling tube 29 is shown herein as having a curvature that generally follows the inner radius of the stator core 18, this is not a requirement and that these curved portions could be straight.
- the material forming the heat-storing element 33 is a thermally conductive and castable material, such as aluminum and aluminum alloy.
- suitable materials such as copper, non-ferrous materials, heat- conducting polymers or any combination thereof can also be used.
- Figure 6 illustrates the stator core 18 and the cast cooling arrangement 22 including the serpentine cooling tube 29 and the heat-storing element 33 once the cast material forming the cast heat-storing element 33 has cooled.
- the angle of the side walls of the channels 26 ensures that during the contraction of the heat-storing element 33, an adequate mechanical contact for heat transfer is maintained between the cooling arrangement 22 and the stator core 18.
- the contraction of the heat-storing element 33 may be viewed as a pulling action of the heat- storing element 33 towards the center of the stator 18 (see arrow 42)
- the contact between the side walls of the cast teeth 40 and the side walls of the channels 26, 27 is maintained even though the width of the cast teeth 40 decreases slightly during the cooling of the casting.
- Figure 7 illustrates a complete stator once the coils 20 have been inserted in the channels 24.
- FIG. 8 of the appended drawings an electric machine 100 including a cast cooling arrangement 102 according to a second illustrative embodiment will be briefly described. Since the electric machine 100 and the electric machine 10 described hereinabove and illustrated in Figures 1 to 7 are very similar, only the differences therebetween will be described hereinbelow for concision purpose.
- the cooling path of the cooling arrangement 102 includes straight longitudinal tubes 104 and cooling arrangement covers 106 and 108 that are mounted at opposite free ends of the cast cooling arrangement 102 to interconnect adjacent tubes 104.
- O-rings 1 10 and 1 12 are provided to seal the interface between the covers and the cast arrangement.
- fasteners (not shown) are used to removably fix the covers to the cast arrangement.
- small gaps 36 and 38 may be filled by curable resin during the impregnation process conventionally taking place once the stator is completed.
- stator 200 provided with a cast cooling arrangement 202 according to a third illustrative embodiment will now be described. Since the stator 200 is similar to the stator 14 of the electric machine 10 described hereinabove and illustrated in Figures 1 to 7, only the differences therebetween will be described hereinbelow for concision purpose.
- stator 200 of Figure 9 the stator 200 of Figure 9 and the stator 14 of Figure 2 relate to the internally facing longitudinal channels 204 that are all identical and to the continuous serpentine cooling tube 206 that is positioned slightly inwardly farther stator core 208.
- the distance between the stator core 208 and the cooling tube 206 is greater, it is no longer required to have larger channels to ensure a proper casting of the heat-storing element 209.
- serpentine cooling tube does not follow the stator core 208 but includes straight portions 210.
- stator 300 provided with a cast cooling arrangement 302 according to a fourth illustrative embodiment will now be described. Since the stator 300 is similar to the stator 14 of the electric machine 10 described hereinabove and illustrated in Figures 1 to 7, only the differences therebetween will be described hereinbelow for concision purpose.
- Figure 10 is a sectional view similar to Figure 2 but illustrates a stator core 304 provided with internally facing longitudinal channels 306, 308 and 310 having different depth.

Since the stator 400 is similar to the stator 14 of the electric machine 10 described hereinabove and illustrated in Figures 1 to 7, only the differences therebetween will be described hereinbelow for concision purpose. [0074] Generally stated, the main difference between the stator 400 and the stator 14 is that the cast cooling arrangement 402 is machined after it is cast in the stator core 404.
- Figure 1 1 illustrates the stator 400 before the cast heat- storing element 403 is machined.
- Figure 12 illustrates the machining done to the cast heat- storing element 403.

- the insert 604 is generally cylindrical and includes an inlet
- a continuous cooling channel 616 is provided on the outer surface of the insert 604. This channel is in fluid communication with the inlet 608 and outlet 612.
- Top and bottom O- rings 618 and 620 provide a seal between the insert and the inner surface of the cooling arrangement 602.
- the heat-storing element 603 is also provided with threaded apertures 622 corresponding to the apertures 624 of the cover 606 allowing the cover to be mounted to the cooling arrangement 602.
- threaded apertures 622 corresponding to the apertures 624 of the cover 606 allowing the cover to be mounted to the cooling arrangement 602.
- mechanical and/or chemical means can be used to securely mount the cover 606 to the heat-storing element 603.
- stator 700 provided with a cast cooling arrangement 702 according to a eighth illustrative embodiment will now be described. Since the stator 700 is similar to the stator 600 described hereinabove and illustrated in Figures 16, only the differences therebetween will be described hereinbelow for concision purpose.
- stator 700 Two main differences exist between the stator 700 and the stator 600 of Figure 16.
- the configuration of the insert 704 is different from the configuration of the insert 604 and second, the stator core 716 is a segmented stator, i.e. that it is made of segmented laminations.
- the insert 704 includes a generally cylindrical inlet manifold 706 and a generally cylindrical outlet manifold 708.
- a number of partition walls 710 interconnect the two manifolds and allow cooling fluid to flow therebetween.
- the outer diameter of the partition walls is such that the insert 704 fits snugly in the cast heat-storing element.
- An O-ring 712 is fitted in a circumferential channel of the heat- storing element 703 to seal the interconnection between the cooling arrangement and the cover 714.
- stator core 716 is segmented, i.e. that each lamination stacked together to form the stator core 16 is made of six identical lamination segment 718.
- each lamination segment 718 includes first and second ends 720, 722 including complementary interconnecting elements.
- the first end 720 includes a recess 724 while the second end 722 includes a corresponding projection 726.
- other complementary interconnection elements could be used.
- Figure 18 also illustrates that, prior to being interconnected to form a circular lamination, the lamination segments 718 are first stacked and secured together using a localized deformation 728.
- Figure 19 which is an enlarged portion of Figure 18, better illustrates the end 722 of a stack of lamination segments 718.
- the axially adjacent rings are so mounted to one another as to be offset so that the interconnections between the segments are staggered from one ring to the next.
- the offset is 30 degrees.
- Figure 20 illustrates a top plan view of the stator core 716 before the heat-storing element is cast therein.
- FIGs 21 and 22 are enlargements of portions of the stator core 716.
- the central longitudinal channel 730 of each lamination segment 718 is different from the other longitudinal channels as it includes a central bulge 732.
- the longitudinal channel 734 formed at the junction of two adjacent lamination segments also includes a central bulge 736.
- These central bulges 732 and 736 provide excess material that allows the stator core 716 to be welded once it is assembled. This welding operation holds the stator core together and decreases the amount of spilled material when the heat-storing element is cast therein. Indeed, since there is a weld at the junction of the adjacent lamination segments 718, less material can flow through.
- the contraction of the heat-storing element 703 during the cooling portion of its formation in the segmented stator core 716 may be viewed as a pulling action of the heat-storing element 703 towards the center of the segmented stator core 716. This pulling action helps to maintain the contact between adjacent lamination segments 718 since it pulls these segments inwardly.
- FIG. 23 a stator 800 provided with a cast cooling arrangement 802 according to a ninth illustrative embodiment will now be described.
- Figure 23 illustrates the stator in a sectional view and shows that the cast cooling arrangement 802 was made with removable tapered core (not shown) that create the double-tapered longitudinal conduits 804.

- stator 900 provided with a cast cooling arrangement 902 according to a tenth illustrative embodiment will now be described. Since the stator 900 is similar to the stator 800 described hereinabove and illustrated in Figures 23 and 124, only the differences therebetween will be described hereinbelow for concision purpose. [00114] As can be seen from this figure, the inner walls of the double tapered conduits 904 include projections 906 increasing the contact area between the cooling arrangement and the cooling fluid flowing therethrough.
- stator 1000 provided with a cast cooling arrangement 1002 according to a eleventh illustrative embodiment will now be described. Since the stator 1000 is similar to the stator 900 described hereinabove and illustrated in Figure 25, only the differences therebetween will be described hereinbelow for concision purpose.
- inserts 1004 have been inserted in the double tapered conduits 1006 to decrease the amount of cooling fluid in the conduits 1006 and to keep the cooling fluid in contact with the walls of the conduits.
- the 1004 can be molded from plastic or other materials as long as the material is stable at the relatively high temperatures to which the cast cooling arrangement is subjected to.
- stator 1 100 provided with a cast cooling arrangement 1 102 according to a twelfth illustrative embodiment will now be described. Since the stator 1 100 is similar to the stator 900 described hereinabove and illustrated in Figure 25, only the differences therebetween will be described hereinbelow for concision purpose.

Since the stator 1200 is similar to the stator 800 described hereinabove and illustrated in Figure 23, only the differences therebetween will be described hereinbelow for concision purpose.
- the difference between the cast cooling arrangement 1202 and the cast cooling arrangement 802 concerns the covers and the inlet and outlet.
- the covers 1204 and 1206 define manifolds interconnecting all the double-tapered conduits 1208. Accordingly, the cover 1204 includes the inlet 1210 and the cover 1206 includes the outlet 1212.
- stator core a stack of laminations have been described herein as forming the stator core, other technologies, such as metallic powders, could be used to form the stator core.
- metallic powders could be used to form the stator core.
- One skilled in the art will understand that the number and size of the longitudinal internal channels as well as the tapering angle of the lateral walls of these channels can be different than illustrated herein depending on the size, power and other features of the electric machine.
- the cast cooling arrangement for electric machines is not limited in its application to the details of construction and parts illustrated in the accompanying drawings and described hereinabove.
