STRUCTURE AND MANUFACTURING METHOD OF AXIAL FLUX ELECTRIC MACHINE STATOR
Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a stator for an axial-flux electric machine, the stator including a stator body, a plurality of teeth, and at least one coil formed of an electrically conductive wire, each tooth being formed of a first part and a second part, the method including steps of: obtaining a support part in which the teeth are each positioned in a precise attitude; forming an envelope of electrically insulating material intended to surround the second part of each tooth; winding the electrically conductive wire around the envelope; and fixing an end of the second part of each tooth to a face of the stator body.
1 . Method for manufacturing a stator for an axial-flux electric machine, said stator comprising a stator body, a plurality of teeth and at least one coil formed of an electrically conductive wire, each tooth being formed of a first part and a second part, the method comprising steps of:
providing a support part, in which the teeth are each positioned in a precise attitude,
forming an envelope of electrically insulating material intended to surround the second part of each tooth,
winding the electrically conductive wire around said envelope, and
fixing an end of the second part of each tooth to a face of the stator body.
2 . The method according to claim 1 , also comprising steps of:
prior to the formation of the support part, positioning of the teeth in preformed notches of a mold for manufacturing the support part, and
prior to the winding of the electrically conductive wire around said envelope, extraction of the teeth from the mold.
3 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the support part and said envelope are formed of one single part by molding.
4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the support part having a plurality of openings, a step of putting each tooth in place in a corresponding opening of the support part is provided, each opening being shaped to receive each tooth in said precise attitude.
5 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein each tooth is fixed by bonding to the support part.
6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the support part and said envelope are formed of polymer material.
7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the fixing of the end of the second part of each tooth on the face of the stator body is done by bonding.
8 . Stator for an axial-flux electric machine obtained by the manufacturing method according to claim 1 .
9 . Stator casing comprising the stator according to claim 8 and a base receiving the stator, said base comprising a bottom wall and side walls so as to form a cooling chamber.
10 . The stator casing according to claim 9 , wherein a polymer material is overmolded around the stator in the cooling chamber.
11 . Engine comprising a rotor and the stator according to claim 8 .
12 . Automotive vehicle comprising the engine according to claim 9 .
