Abstract

The invention relates to an electromechanical device ( 10 ) for an aircraft, comprising: —a housing ( 12 ) having a radially internal surface (S 12 ), —a magnetic circuit formed by a stack of laminated sheets and composed of an annular yoke ( 16 ), said yoke being arranged on the radially internal surface of said housing, said yoke having a radially internal surface (S 16 ), —at least one low-frequency coil component ( 18 ), said coil component being integrated over at least part of the radially internal surface of said yoke.

Claims (18)

1 . An electrotechnical device for an aircraft comprising:

an annular housing having a radially internal surface,

a magnetic circuit formed by a stack of laminated sheets and composed of an annular yoke, said yoke being arranged on the radially internal surface of said housing, at least one portion of a radially external surface of said annular yoke being in contact with the radially internal surface of the housing and said yoke having a radially internal surface,

at least one low-frequency coil component, said coil component being integrated on at least one portion of the radially internal surface of said yoke,

wherein the yoke comprises at least one protrusion extending radially from the radially internal surface of said yoke, said protrusion comprises at least one first tooth, said at least one first tooth being a part of the protrusion situated inside said protrusion, at least one coil being integrated on said protrusion around said first tooth, and another part of the protrusion surrounding partially or totally said at least one coil.

2 . The electrotechnical device according to claim 1 , wherein said protrusion comprises two second teeth surrounding said first tooth, the at least one coil being integrated on the protrusion between said second teeth.

3 . The electrotechnical device according to claim 1 , comprising at least two low-frequency coil components, said protrusion comprising two first teeth, said coil components being coils connected in series, each coil being wound around a first tooth.

4 . The electrotechnical device according to claim 1 , comprising a plurality of low-frequency coil components, said protrusion comprising a plurality of first teeth, said coil components being multi-phase coupled coils, each coil being wound around a first tooth, and said coils being integrated throughout the radially internal surface of the yoke.

5 . The electrotechnical device according to claim 1 , wherein the coil component is a multi-phase power transformer or autotransformer formed by a plurality of coils, said protrusion comprising a plurality of first teeth, each coil being wound around a first tooth.

6 . The electrotechnical device according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic circuit comprises at least one air-gap.

7 . The electrotechnical device according to claim 1 , wherein the or each coil component is insulated from its magnetic circuit by an electrically insulating material.

8 . The electrotechnical device according to claim 1 , wherein the housing and/or the yoke ( 16 ) is equipped with cooling means.

9 . The electrotechnical device according to claim 8 , wherein the cooling means comprise at least one of the following means:

fins extending radially or axially from a radially external surface of the housing and/or of the yoke, and/or

fluid circulation channels, in which a pressurized fluid circulates, and/or

means for spraying a fluid, and/or

heat pipes.

10 . An aircraft comprising at least one electrotechnical device according to claim 1 .
