Abstract

A rotor of a rotating electrical machine includes a plurality of poles each extending on a first axis that is radial with respect to the rotor and on a second axis parallel to the rotor with respect to the rotor, each pole comprising a pole body, a rotor winding for each pole, positioned against the body of the pole, the rotor winding taking the form of a strip extending over the length of the pole body on the radial first axis wound against the pole body, a plurality of closure shims, a closure shim of the plurality of closure shims being in contact with a rotor winding associated with a pole body, the closure shim being configured to exert a pressure on the rotor winding towards the pole body.

Claims (9)

1. A rotor of a rotating electrical machine comprising:

a plurality of poles each extending on a first axis that is radial with respect to an axis of rotation of the rotor and on a second axis parallel to the rotor with respect to the axis of rotation of the rotor, each pole comprising a pole body,

a rotor winding for each pole, positioned against the body of the pole, the rotor winding taking the form of a strip extending over the length (L) of said pole body on the radial first axis wound against the pole body,

a plurality of closure shims, a closure shim of the plurality of closure shims being in contact with a rotor winding associated with a pole body, said closure shim being configured to exert a pressure on said rotor winding towards said pole body,

the closure shim comprising an inlet aperture positioned at a first end of the closure shim along the second axis, a first discharge aperture positioned at a second end of the closure shim along the second axis, different from the first end, and a second discharge aperture positioned at the second end of the closure shim along the second axis, the inlet aperture being linked to the first discharge aperture and to the second discharge aperture by a duct network intended to circulate a coolant in the closure shim, the duct network comprises a channel inside the closure shim successively taking a straight form and a bent form.

2. The rotor of a rotating electrical machine according to claim 1 , wherein the rotor winding is an oxidized aluminium strip.

3. The rotor of a rotating electrical machine according to claim 1 , wherein the rotor winding is a copper strip.

4. The rotor of a rotating electrical machine according to claim 1 , wherein the closure shim is a V extending on two secant planes of which a first plane of the two planes is in contact with the rotor winding of a first pole of the plurality of poles and of which a second plane of the two planes is in contact with the rotor winding of a second pole of the plurality of poles, the second pole being adjacent to the first pole.

5. A rotating electrical machine, comprising the rotor according to claim 1 , the rotor winding of the pole being linked electrically to an electrical power source, via electrical links, the electrical links being obtained by cold pressure welding, friction stir welding, pressure brazing or pressure welding, the electrical power source being made of copper.
