Abstract

The invention relates to a rotor for a rotary electric machine, extending along a longitudinal axis and including: an assembly of electrical sheets forming projecting poles, two projecting poles defining an interpolar region therebetween; and at least two internal cooling channels formed in the assembly of electrical sheets in at least one interpolar region.

Claims (16)

1. A rotor for an electrical rotating machine, extending along a longitudinal axis, comprising:

an assembly of magnetic sheets forming salient poles, two salient poles defining between them an interpolar region, and

at least two internal cooling channels formed in the assembly of magnetic sheets and integrally formed therewith in at least one interpolar region, a cooling fluid flowing along said internal cooling channels,

the assembly of magnetic sheets comprising a stacking of identical magnetic sheets one in contact with the other.

2. The rotor as claimed in claim 1 , the magnetic sheets being identical and in one piece.

3. The rotor as claimed in claim 1 , from 3 to 15 internal cooling channels being formed in each interpolar region.

4. The rotor as claimed in claim 1 , the cooling channels being separated within each interpolar region by fins.

5. The rotor as claimed in claim 1 , the cooling channels making the whole length of the assembly of magnetic sheets of the rotor.

6. The rotor as claimed in claim 1 , the cooling channels being placed continuously along the longitudinal axis of the rotor.

7. The rotor as claimed in claim 1 , the interpolar regions each having a dentate shape defining teeth.

8. The rotor as claimed in claim 1 , each interpolar region having a cut-out section representing more than 25% of its total section.

9. An electrical rotating machine comprising a rotor as claimed in claim 1 .

10. An electrical rotating machine comprising a fan, and a rotor extending along a longitudinal axis and comprising:

an assembly of magnetic sheets forming salient poles, two salient poles defining between them an interpolar region, and

at least two internal cooling channels formed in the assembly of magnetic sheets and integrally formed therewith in at least one interpolar region, the air aspirated by the fan passing through said internal cooling channels,

the assembly of magnetic sheets comprising a stacking of identical magnetic sheets one in contact with the other.
