Abstract

This bowl ( 10 ) for an induction motor intended to be housed in the hollow body of a substantially longitudinal actuator for winding/unwinding sheets, screens, blinds or roller shutters, comprises an outer skirt ( 12 ) and an inner skirt ( 13 ), the outer skirt ( 12 ) and the inner skirt ( 13 ) defining, between them, a space ( 14 ) intended to receive a lead-out of a stator of the induction motor. Moreover, the inner skirt ( 13 ) is capable of being deformed in such a way as to restrict the space ( 14 ) between the inner skirt ( 13 ) and the outer skirt ( 12 ) in order to allow the insertion into the inner skirt ( 13 ) of means of supporting a rotor assembly.

Claims (19)

1. A bowl for an induction motor designed to be housed within the hollow body of a substantially longitudinal actuator for the winding/unwinding of cloths, screens, blinds or roller shutters, the bowl comprising an outer skirt and an inner skirt, the outer skirt and the inner skirt delimit a space therebetween designed to receive a coil end of a stator of the induction motor, and in that the inner skirt is able to be deformed in a manner restricting the space between the inner skirt and the outer skirt in order to allow the insertion of the support means of the rotor assembly within the inner skirt.

2. The bowl according to claim 1 , wherein the inner skirt has a frusto-conical shape.

3. The bowl according to claim 1 , wherein the inner skirt is split by a plurality of notches which delimit, therebetween, tabs able to flex when the support means are inserted within the inner skirt.

4. The bowl according to claim 1 , wherein it has a base from which extend the outer skirt and the inner skirt, such that the bowl forms an only and same piece.

5. An induction motor, capable of being housed within the hollow body of the substantially longitudinal actuator for the winding/unwinding of cloths, screens, blinds or roller shutters, wherein the motor comprises:

a stator,

a rotor assembly,

a bowl according to claim 1 ,

support means of the rotor assembly, allowing the rotation of the rotor assembly with respect to the stator, located within the inner skirt of the bowl,

the inner skirt being capable of being radially deformed when the support means are inserted in it.

6. The induction motor according to claim 5 , wherein the free end of the inner skirt delimits, when at rest, an edge of a diameter lower than the diameter of the central bore of the stator.

7. The induction motor according to claim 5 , wherein the support means comprise an outer rib the diameter of which being larger than the diameter of the central centering of the stator.

8. The induction motor according to claim 5 , wherein the inner skirt is split by a plurality of notches which delimits tabs therebetween, and in that the number of tabs is equal to the number of stator grooves of the stator designed to receive a winding.

9. The induction motor according to claim 5 , wherein the outer skirt comprises a plurality of legs shaped to be inserted in recesses arranged on the outer lateral wall of the stator.

10. The induction motor according to claim 5 , wherein it comprises an insulating member located between the outer skirt and the support means.

11. A substantially longitudinal electromagnetic actuator for the winding/unwinding of cloths, screens, blinds or roller shutters, the actuator comprising:

an induction motor according to claim 5 ,

a hollow body, and in that

the outer skirt of the bowl of the motor has a bearing seating shaped to come into abutment against the inner wall of the hollow body of the substantially longitudinal actuator.
