Abstract

The invention relates mainly to a rotary electrical machine comprising a rotor (10) provided with a body (12) with an axis (X), the rotor body (12) comprising a plurality of longitudinal cavities (16) each designed to receive at least one permanent magnet (13);

• • magnetic poles each formed by the permanent magnets (13) accommodated in two adjacent cavities (16) forming a “V” on a plane (P) orthogonal to the axis (X) of the rotor body (12);
  • the rotor (10) comprising at least one part (35) for retention of the permanent magnets (13) in the cavities (16),
    characterised in that the retention part (35) comprises two elongate strips (36), each strip (36) comprising at least one boss (37) which is designed to apply a force of retention of the corresponding permanent magnet (13) in the cavity (16), and in that the retention part (35) additionally comprises at least two connection arms (40) between the two strips (36), with the boss (37) extending axially between the two connection arms.

Claims

1. A rotary electrical machine comprising:

a rotor provided with a body with an axis, the rotor body comprising a plurality of longitudinal cavities each for receiving at least one permanent magnet; and

magnetic poles each formed by the permanent magnets accommodated in two adjacent cavities forming a “

V”

on a plane orthogonal to the axis of the rotor body,

the rotor comprising at least one part for retention of the permanent magnets in the cavities,

wherein the retention part comprises two elongate strips, each strip comprising at least one boss which applies a force of retention of the corresponding permanent magnet in the cavity, and

wherein the retention part additionally comprises at least two connection arms between the two strips, with the boss extending axially between the two connection arms.

2. The rotary electrical machine according to claim 1, wherein the retention force is applied by the boss on the corresponding permanent magnet in the direction of an outer periphery of the rotor body.

3. The rotary electrical machine according to claim 1, wherein at least one strip of the retention part comprises a lug for abutment against an end face of the rotor body.

4. The rotary electrical machine according to claim 1, wherein each strip of the retention part comprises a spring for application of an axial retention force of the permanent magnet in the corresponding cavity.

5. The rotary electrical machine according to claim 1, wherein the retention part comprises a plurality of bosses provided in each strip.

6. The rotary electrical machine according to claim 5, wherein the retention part comprises the same number of bosses on each strip.

7. The rotary electrical machine according to claim 5, wherein the retention part comprises axial alternation of bosses and connection arms.

8. The rotary electrical machine according to claim 1, wherein the connection arms extend transversely relative to a direction of longitudinal extension of the said retention part.

9. The rotary electrical machine according to claim 1, wherein the connection arms are situated inside an area of joining between the two cavities.

10. The rotary electrical machine according to claim 1, wherein the two strips of the retention part are free at their ends.
