Description

Title of the invention: ELECTRIC AXIAL FLUX TRACTION MACHINE Technical field of the invention

[0001] The invention relates to a rotating axial flux electric traction machine for a motor vehicle. The invention finds particularly advantageous applications for the propulsion of low-power electric vehicles, in particular between 4kW and 5kW. The invention can thus advantageously be implemented in particular with low-power four-wheeled electric vehicles ("microcars" in English), two-wheeled vehicles of the motorcycle type, or heavy quadricycles. The invention also applies to powers of 100 kW to 400 kW at high voltage, for example greater than 400 V. Technological background

[0002] Almost all known systems for the traction of electric vehicles are based on alternating current motors, either synchronous with permanent magnets or asynchronous.

[0003] Propulsion systems for electric vehicles based on a brushed direct current motor with separate excitation are also known. The motor control essentially consists of a power adjustment on the armature (the usual speed control method for a brushed direct current motor) supplemented by a continuous flux variation on the inductor. Since such control is free from jolts, handling is often considered disconcerting, or even unpleasant, by drivers who enjoy dynamic driving.

[0004] It is known from JP 2019 129638 A, from CN 105 356 701 B and from CN 202 856 578 U axial flux electrical machine armatures comprising polyphase power windings, with alternating current where the electromechanical energy conversion takes place.

[0005] Also known from the prior art are axial flux electrical machines whose inductor and armature are opposite each other in the axial direction as described in French application 1750497 filed on January 17, 2017. These axial flux electrical machines have the advantage of being axially compact. In this configuration, it is known that the rotor can be of the homopolar claw type as illustrated in [Fig.l]. The rotor 11 described here comprises a single rotating rotor winding 12 regardless of the number of poles p of the rotor. The claws, forming the different poles p of the rotor, are distributed into two groups of different polarities, a first group and a second group. The two groups are circumferentially alternated.

[0006] The rotor 11 of [Fig.l] comprises an annular disc 13 from which the claws extend.

[0007] Each claw of the first group, also called first claw 14, has a first axial base 15 which extends from an inner periphery of the disc and a first claw beak of radial extension towards the outside.

[0008] Each claw of the second group, also called second claw 18, has a second axial base 19 which extends from an outer periphery of the disc and a second claw beak 20 extending radially inwards.

[0009] The rotating rotor winding 12 is mounted axially between the disc 13 and the claw beaks 15, 20 and radially between the first bases 15 and the second bases 19.

[0010] The claws are polarized under the effect of the current flowing in the rotor winding 12 so as to form the p poles of the rotor.

[0011] Such a rotor structure with a rotating rotor winding is nevertheless complex to produce and assemble. Steps of machining the claw tips, mounting the rotor winding and installing the claws make this type of inductor expensive.

[0012] Powering a rotating rotor winding requires the use of friction parts, for example rings and brushes, for its power supply. These friction parts wear out by definition and must be replaced. Summary of the invention

[0013] The invention aims in particular to effectively remedy the aforementioned drawbacks by proposing an axial flux electric machine rotating around an axis of rotation characterized in that it comprises:

[0014] - at least one homopolar rotor, mobile in rotation, with p poles comprising: • an annular disc with an axis of symmetry coincident with the axis of rotation, • p / 2 upper studs and p / 2 lower studs, p being a even whole number, the upper studs being radially further from the axis of rotation than the lower studs, the lower studs and the upper studs being circumferentially alternated - at least one concentric rotor winding mounted radially between the upper clamps and the lower clamps, the upper clamps and the lower clamps not being axially opposite the rotor winding, the upper clamps and the lower clamps being capable of being polarized under the effect of a rotor current circulating in the rotor winding of so as to form p rotor poles, and - at least one stator, fixed in rotation, comprising at least one stator coil,

[0015] The machine is remarkable in that the rotor winding is fixed in rotation.

[0016] The manufacture and assembly of the rotor are simplified and less expensive compared to the prior art illustrated. The assembly composed of the annular disc and the studs does not have an undercut area which complicates its manufacture, in particular with a need for machining.

[0017] According to one aspect of the invention, there is no axial interlocking between the annular disc and the studs on the one hand and the rotor winding on the other hand.

[0018] Since the rotor winding is now fixed in rotation, it is no longer necessary to have friction parts to supply it with direct current, which greatly simplifies the electrical machine. Powering a fixed rotating winding is simpler than powering a rotating winding.
