Abstract

An electromagnetic pole ( 17 ) for a rotary electric machine is disclosed. The pole has a tooth ( 18 ) comprising a tooth body ( 19 ), the tooth ( 18 ) being radially oriented and the tooth ( 18 ) comprising a recess ( 21 ), a coil ( 16 ) comprising a plurality of wire turns ( 20 ) wound around the tooth ( 18 ) between a first radial end ( 28 ) and a second radial end ( 29 ), the wire turns ( 20 ) which are the most distant from the tooth body ( 19 ) between the first radial end ( 28 ) and the second radial end ( 29 ), forming an outer wire layer ( 22 ), the coil ( 16 ) comprising a bracing wire ( 14 ), the bracing wire ( 14 ) being wound on the outer wire layer ( 22 ) from the first radial end ( 28 ) to the second radial end ( 29 ) in less than one turn around the tooth ( 18 ) so as to hold in position the outer wire layer ( 22 ).

Claims (17)

1. An electromagnetic pole for a rotary electric machine with an axis of rotation comprising:

a tooth comprising a tooth body comprising a magnetic material, in particular a laminated tooth body comprising a plurality of steel plate stacked in the direction of the axis of rotation, the tooth being radially oriented and the tooth comprising a recess,

a coil arranged in the recess, the coil comprising a plurality of wire turns wound around the tooth between a first radial end and a second radial end,

the wire turns which are the most distant from the tooth body between the first radial end and the second radial end, forming an outer wire layer,

the coil comprising a bracing wire, the bracing wire being wound on the outer wire layer from the first radial end to the second radial end in less than one turn around the tooth so as to hold in position the outer wire layer.

2. The electromagnetic pole according to claim 1 wherein the outer wire layer comprises at least seven wire turns.

3. The electromagnetic pole according to claim 1 , wherein the coil comprises a first coil part starting at the second radial end and ending at a third radial end, the third radial end being between the second radial end and the first radial end, the size of the wire turns of the outer wire layer increasing from the second radial end to the third radial end.

4. The electromagnetic pole according to claim 3 , wherein the coil comprises a second coil part starting at the first radial end and ending at a fourth radial end, the fourth radial end being between the first radial end and the third radial end, the size of the wire turns of the outer wire layer increasing from the first radial end to the fourth radial end.

5. The electromagnetic pole according to claim 1 , wherein the tooth body comprises a first axial end and a second axial end and wherein the tooth comprises a first tooth end plate bearing against the first axial end.

6. The electromagnetic pole according to claim 5 , wherein the bracing wire is wound on the outer wire layer from the first radial end to the second radial end at a location axially offset from the first axial end on the side of the first tooth end plate.

7. The electromagnetic pole according to claim 5 , wherein the coil comprises a tying portion extending from the bracing wire beyond the second radial end, and wherein the first tooth end plate comprises a first fastening pin, the tying portion being at least partially wound around the first fastening pin.

8. The electromagnetic pole according to claim 7 , wherein the first fastening pin extends in the axial direction.

9. The electromagnetic pole according to claim 8 , wherein the first tooth end plate comprises a second fastening pin extending in the axial direction, the tying portion being at least partially wound around the second fastening pin.

10. The electromagnetic pole according to claim 8 , wherein the tying portion has a S-shaped path between the first fastening pin and the second fastening pin.

11. A rotor for a rotary electric machine with an axis of rotation comprising a plurality of electromagnetic poles according to claim 1 .

12. The rotor according to claim 11 , wherein the number of electromagnetic poles is at least equal to four in particular the number of electromagnetic poles is equal to six.

13. The rotary electric machine with an axis of rotation comprising a rotor according to claim 11 .
