Description

DISPOSITIF MAGNETOCALORIQUE  MAGNETOCALORIC DEVICE

L'invention concerne une machine tournante, autour d'un axe de rotation à l'intérieur d'une culasse périphérique, de production d'un champ magnétique variable et d'intensité maximale supérieure à un Tesla, pour réaliser une variation dudit champ en un point d'un échangeur situé au niveau de ladite culasse, selon un diagramme sensiblement carré en fonction du temps, ladite machine comportant, mobile en rotation autour dudit axe de rotation à l'intérieur d'un alésage que comporte ladite culasse ou ledit échangeur et séparé dudit alésage par un premier entrefer, un rotor comportant une première surface externe de révolution autour dudit axe de rotation, ledit rotor comportant un premier nombre pair de pôles constitués par un assemblage de moyens de concentration de flux, et ladite culasse étant conçue apte au rebouclage des lignes de champ magnétique générés par ledit rotor. The invention relates to a rotating machine, around an axis of rotation inside a peripheral yoke, for producing a variable magnetic field and a maximum intensity greater than a Tesla, for effecting a variation of said field by a point of an exchanger located at said cylinder head, according to a substantially square diagram as a function of time, said machine comprising, movable in rotation about said axis of rotation within a bore that includes said cylinder head or said exchanger and separated from said bore by a first air gap, a rotor having a first external surface of revolution about said axis of rotation, said rotor having a first even number of poles constituted by an assembly of flow concentration means, and said cylinder head being adapted to looping the magnetic field lines generated by said rotor.

L'invention concerne également un moteur synchrone auto- refroidissant de grande puissance supérieure à 500kw comportant une machine tournante selon l'invention.  The invention also relates to a high power self-cooling synchronous motor greater than 500kw comprising a rotating machine according to the invention.

La présente invention entre plus particulièrement dans le domaine des machines synchrones.  The present invention more particularly in the field of synchronous machines.

Il est connu du document WO 3005/043053 un dispositif de génération de flux thermique magnétocalorique présentant un premier support comportant des organes thermiques composés de matériau magnétocalorique de type gadolinium ou similaire. Ces organes thermiques comprennent encore une cavité permettant le passage d'un échangeur comprenant un fluide caloporteur, en vue de le chauffer ou de le refroidir. D'ailleurs, le matériau magnétocalorique est entouré de cuivre afin de transmettre les calories ou les frigories créées. En effet un matériau magnétocalorique crée des calories lorsqu'il est soumis à un fort champ magnétique B et refroidi, en créant des frigories, lorsqu'il n'y est plus soumis. Ce premier support est coaxial à un second support mobile comprenant des aimants permanents permettant la création du champ magnétique. Ce support mobile est entraîné par un moteur extérieur commandé en courant alternatif et pivote sur son axe selon deux positions de manière à soumettre ou non les organes thermiques au champ magnétique. It is known from WO 3005/043053 a magnetocaloric heat flux generation device having a first support comprising thermal organs composed of gadolinium-type magnetocaloric material or the like. These thermal elements also comprise a cavity allowing the passage of an exchanger comprising a heat transfer fluid, for the purpose of heating or cooling. Moreover, the magnetocaloric material is surrounded by copper in order to transmit the calories or frigories created. Indeed a magnetocaloric material creates calories when it is subjected to a strong magnetic field B and cooled, creating frigories, when no longer subject to it. This first support is coaxial with a second mobile support comprising permanent magnets allowing the creation of the magnetic field. This mobile support is driven by an external motor controlled by alternating current and pivots on its axis in two positions so as to subject or not the thermal organs to the magnetic field.

Un tel dispositif présente un champ magnétique variable d'une intensité faible dans les organes thermiques ce qui ne lui permet pas d'avoir un bon rendement. De plus, il présente un gros dimensionnement du fait de la nécessité d'une grande quantité de cuivre embarquée pour transmettre efficacement la chaleur du matériau magnétocalorique à l'échangeur comprenant le fluide caloporteur et son coût de fabrication est élevé.  Such a device has a variable magnetic field of low intensity in the thermal organs which does not allow it to have a good performance. In addition, it has a large dimensioning due to the need for a large amount of embedded copper to efficiently transmit the heat of the magnetocaloric material to the exchanger comprising the heat transfer fluid and its manufacturing cost is high.

Il est également connu du document FR 3 904 098 un générateur thermique se présentant sous la forme d'un cylindre comprenant des modules thermiques cylindriques constitués d'une pluralité d'éléments thermiques en matériau magnétocalorique délimitant des canaux pourvus deux collecteurs séparés, alternativement, un circuit collecteur chaud et un circuit collecteur froid. Ces modules thermiques annulaires et empilés axialement sur un arbre tournant sont soumis à une variation d'un champ magnétique par des aimants permanents, que comporte l'arbre tournant, pour créer grâce à l'effet magnétocalorique des frigories et des calories. Cet arbre tournant est ensuite actionné par un moteur électrique pour créer, sur ces modules thermiques annulaires, alternativement, des zones soumises à un champ magnétique et des zones non soumises à ce champ et donc des calories et des frigories récoltés par le circuit collecteur. Le générateur comprend aussi une armature ferromagnétique entourant les modules thermiques et permettant de refermer le champ magnétique généré par les aimants.  It is also known from FR 3 904 098 a thermal generator in the form of a cylinder comprising cylindrical thermal modules consisting of a plurality of thermal elements of magnetocaloric material delimiting channels provided with two separate collectors, alternatively, a hot collector circuit and a cold collector circuit. These annular thermal modules and stacked axially on a rotating shaft are subjected to a variation of a magnetic field by permanent magnets, which includes the rotating shaft, to create, thanks to the magnetocaloric effect frigories and calories. This rotating shaft is then actuated by an electric motor to create, on these annular thermal modules, alternately, areas subject to a magnetic field and areas not subject to this field and therefore calories and cold collected by the collector circuit. The generator also includes a ferromagnetic frame surrounding the thermal modules and to close the magnetic field generated by the magnets.

Là encore un tel générateur thermique présente un gros dimensionnement et un coût de fabrication élevé.  Here again such a thermal generator has a large dimensioning and a high manufacturing cost.

L'invention se propose de résoudre les inconvénients de l'état de la technique en ce qu'elle propose une machine tournante à actionneur intégré capable de générer un fort champ électromagnétique variable avec une grande facilité de mise en œuvre et un coût de fabrication faible. The invention proposes to solve the disadvantages of the state of the art in that it proposes a rotating machine with integrated actuator capable of generating a strong field electromagnetic variable with great ease of implementation and low manufacturing cost.

Ainsi l'invention concerne une machine tournante, autour d'un axe de révolution à l'intérieur d'une culasse périphérique, de production d'un champ magnétique variable et d'intensité maximale supérieure à un Tesla, pour réaliser une variation dudit champ en un point d'un échangeur situé au niveau de ladite culasse, selon un diagramme sensiblement carré en fonction du temps, ladite machine comportant, mobile en rotation autour dudit axe de rotation à l'intérieur d'un alésage que comporte ladite culasse ou ledit échangeur et séparé dudit alésage par un premier entrefer, un rotor comportant une première surface externe de révolution autour dudit axe de révolution, ledit rotor comportant un premier nombre pair de pôles constitués par un assemblage de moyens de concentration de flux, et ladite culasse étant conçue apte au rebouclage des lignes de champ magnétique générés par ledit rotor, caractérisé par le fait que ledit rotor comporte une deuxième surface interne de révolution autour dudit axe de révolution, et que ladite machine tournante comporte, à l'intérieur dudit rotor et étant séparé de ladite deuxième surface interne de révolution par un second entrefer, un stator conçu apte à créer un champ magnétique et conçu apte à capter une partie du flux magnétique émanant dudit rotor pour mettre ce dernier en mouvement de rotation sous l'effet d'un couple électromagnétique, ledit stator comportant lui-même un second nombre pair de pôles statoriques.  Thus, the invention relates to a rotating machine, around an axis of revolution inside a peripheral yoke, for producing a variable magnetic field and a maximum intensity greater than a Tesla, for effecting a variation of said field. at a point of an exchanger located at said cylinder head, according to a substantially square diagram as a function of time, said machine comprising, movable in rotation about said axis of rotation inside a bore that includes said cylinder head or said exchanger and separated from said bore by a first gap, a rotor having a first outer surface of revolution about said axis of revolution, said rotor having a first even number of poles constituted by an assembly of flow concentration means, and said cylinder head being designed capable of looping back the magnetic field lines generated by said rotor, characterized in that said rotor comprises a second surface i revolution of revolution about said axis of revolution, and said rotating machine comprises, inside said rotor and being separated from said second internal surface of revolution by a second air gap, a stator designed to create a magnetic field and designed able to sensing a portion of the magnetic flux emanating from said rotor to rotate the latter under the effect of an electromagnetic torque, said stator itself having a second even number of stator poles.

Tel que visible sur la figure 1, l'invention concerne une machine tournante 1 autour d'un axe de rotation 2 à l'intérieur d'une culasse 3 périphérique, de production d'un champ magnétique B variable et d'intensité maximale supérieure à un Tesla. Figure 12 shows, front and schematically, the arrangement of the hexagonal, trapezoidal and rectangular magnets that comprises the rotating machine according to the invention; and 13 shows, from the front and schematically, the rotating machine according to the invention with the hexagonal magnets, trapezoidal and rectangular that includes the rotating machine. As can be seen in FIG. 1, the invention relates to a rotating machine 1 around an axis of rotation 2 inside a peripheral yoke 3, for producing a variable magnetic field B and greater maximum intensity. to a Tesla.

A ce propos, on observera que pour réaliser une variation du champ B en un point d'un échangeur 4 situé au niveau de la culasse 3, selon un diagramme sensiblement carré en fonction du temps, la machine tournante 1 comporte un rotor 5 mobile en rotation autour de l'axe de rotation. Le rotor 5 est, préférentiellement, placé à l'intérieur d'un alésage 6 que comporte la culasse 3 ou l' échangeur 4.  In this connection, it will be observed that in order to achieve a variation of the field B at a point of an exchanger 4 situated at the level of the yoke 3, according to a substantially square diagram as a function of time, the rotating machine 1 comprises a rotor 5 movable in rotation around the axis of rotation. The rotor 5 is preferably placed inside a bore 6 that includes the yoke 3 or the exchanger 4.

Le rotor 5 est séparé de l'alésage 6 par un premier entrefer 7A.  The rotor 5 is separated from the bore 6 by a first gap 7A.

Dans cette configuration la culasse 3, de préférence en acier, comportant le rotor 5 est conçue apte à reboucler des lignes de champ magnétique B générées par ce rotor 5, et à protéger mécaniquement l'ensemble.  In this configuration the yoke 3, preferably made of steel, comprising the rotor 5 is designed capable of looping magnetic field lines B generated by the rotor 5, and to mechanically protect the assembly.

Avantageusement le rotor 5 comporte une première surface externe de révolution autour de l'axe de rotation 2, et un premier nombre pair n de pôles constitués par des moyens de concentration de flux 8. Inclus dans sa première surface externe de révolution 9, le rotor 5 comporte une deuxième surface interne de révolution 10 autour de l'axe de rotation 2.  Advantageously, the rotor 5 has a first external surface of revolution about the axis of rotation 2, and a first even number n of poles constituted by flux concentration means 8. Included in its first external surface of revolution 9, the rotor 5 has a second inner surface of revolution 10 about the axis of rotation 2.

Tout particulièrement la machine tournante 1 comporte, à l'intérieur du rotor 5, et étant séparé de la deuxième surface interne de révolution 10 par un second entrefer 7B, un stator 11 conçu apte à créer un champ magnétique B et conçu apte à capter une partie du flux magnétique émanant du rotor 5 pour mettre ce dernier en mouvement de rotation sous l'effet d'un couple électromagnétique, le stator 11 comportant lui-même un second nombre pair N de pôles statoriques. In particular, the rotating machine 1 comprises, inside the rotor 5, and being separated from the second inner surface of revolution 10 by a second gap 7B, a stator 11 designed to create a magnetic field B and designed to capture a part of the magnetic flux emanating from the rotor 5 to put the latter in rotational movement under the effect of a electromagnetic torque, the stator 11 itself having a second even number N of stator poles.

Préférentiellement, le rotor 5 tourne à une fréquence de fonctionnement de l'ordre de quelques dizaines de Hertz.  Preferably, the rotor 5 rotates at an operating frequency of the order of a few tens of Hertz.

Tel que visible sur la figure 2, la machine tournante 1 est donc à structure inversée, c'est-à-dire que le stator 11 est placé au centre de la machine tournante 1 avec le rotor 5 mobile en périphérie du stator 11. Cette structure inversée permet, avantageusement, d'obtenir un profil d'induction au centre de l'échangeur 4 d'amplitude relativement élevée, de forme sensiblement carrée et s' annulant pendant environ Π/η et préférentiellement Π/3. As can be seen in FIG. 2, the rotary machine 1 therefore has an inverted structure, that is to say that the stator 11 is placed at the center of the rotary machine 1 with the rotor 5 moving around the periphery of the stator 11. Inverted structure advantageously makes it possible to obtain an induction profile in the center of the exchanger 4 of relatively high amplitude, of substantially square shape and being canceled for approximately Π / η and preferably Π / 3.

A cela s'ajoute le fait que, dans une version particulière de l'invention, on vient vriller le stator 11 pour diminuer les ondulations de couple électromagnétique et obtenir, avantageusement, une force électromotrice sinusoïdale.  To this is added the fact that, in a particular version of the invention, the stator 11 is twisted to reduce the electromagnetic torque ripple and advantageously obtain a sinusoidal electromotive force.

De plus, le dimensionnement de la machine tournante 1 s'effectue de telle manière que l'on obtient une variation d'induction ΔΒ maximale dans le premier entrefer 7A.  In addition, the design of the rotary machine 1 is performed in such a way that a maximum induction variation ΔΒ is obtained in the first gap 7A.

Dans un premier mode de réalisation et tel que visible sur la figure 3, pour faciliter l'obtention d'un tel profil d'induction, l'échangeur 4 de la machine tournante 1 est intégré dans la culasse 3, laquelle comporte l'alésage 6, cet échangeur 4 étant situé au voisinage du premier entrefer 7A, de façon à être parcouru par un champ magnétique de densité élevée.  In a first embodiment and as visible in Figure 3, to facilitate obtaining such an induction profile, the exchanger 4 of the rotating machine 1 is integrated in the cylinder head 3, which comprises the bore 6, this exchanger 4 being located in the vicinity of the first gap 7A, so as to be traversed by a magnetic field of high density.

Un tel échangeur 4 se présente plus particulièrement sous la forme d'une chambre cylindrique, dont les dimensions sont adaptées à la largeur du premier entrefer 7A que comporte la machine tournante 1. Cette chambre est de préférence divisée en plusieurs cellules 12 de dimensions identiques qui sont destinées à comporter un matériau à effet magnétocalorique, notamment comportant du gadolinium, par exemple sous forme de lamelles. L'échangeur 4 échange l'énergie qu'il perçoit ou qu'il émet avec un circuit d'utilisation, de préférence parcouru par un fluide caloporteur. D'une manière avantageuse, un tel matériau magnetocalorique est conçu apte à échanger de l'énergie avec un fluide caloporteur sous l'effet de la variation du champ magnétique B. Such an exchanger 4 is more particularly in the form of a cylindrical chamber, the dimensions of which are adapted to the width of the first air gap 7A that the rotary machine 1 comprises. This chamber is preferably divided into several cells 12 of identical dimensions which are intended to comprise a magnetocaloric effect material, in particular comprising gadolinium, for example in the form of lamellae. The exchanger 4 exchanges the energy that it perceives or that it emits with a circuit of use, preferably traversed by a coolant. Advantageously, such a magnetocaloric material is designed capable of exchanging energy with a heat transfer fluid under the effect of the variation of the magnetic field B.

Pour en revenir aux cellules 12 de l'échangeur 4 et tel que visible sur la figure 5, ces dernières sont pourvues, en tout ou partie, de plaques ou lamelles 13 réalisées en matériau magnétique ayant un point de curie proche de la température ambiante et possédant un effet magnétocalorique géant et, préférentiellement, en gadolinium, ceci pour, avantageusement, limiter les effets du couple magnétique, notamment les interactions entre le matériau magnétocalorique et la source du champ magnétique B.  To return to the cells 12 of the exchanger 4 and as visible in Figure 5, the latter are provided, in whole or in part, plates or strips 13 made of magnetic material having a curie point close to the ambient temperature and having a giant magnetocaloric effect and, preferably, gadolinium, this to advantageously limit the effects of the magnetic torque, in particular the interactions between the magnetocaloric material and the source of the magnetic field B.

A ce propos, un matériau magnétocalorique soumis à un fort champ magnétique B s'échauffe et ainsi crée des calories, puis, lorsqu'il n'est plus soumis à ce champ B va redescendre à une température inférieure à celle qu'il avait à l'origine permettant, en particulier, la création de frigories.  In this respect, a magnetocaloric material subjected to a strong magnetic field B heats up and thus creates calories, then, when it is no longer subject to this field B will go down to a lower temperature than it had to the origin allowing, in particular, the creation of frigories.

On comprend bien dès lors l'intérêt d'obtenir une variation d' induction ΔΒ maximale dans le premier entrefer 7A puisque cela induit une forte variation ΔΤ de température améliorant ainsi les performances de l'échangeur 4 magnétocalorique .  It is therefore easy to understand the advantage of obtaining a maximum induction variation ΔΒ in the first air gap 7A since this induces a high temperature variation ΔΤ thus improving the performance of the magnetocaloric exchanger 4.

L'intégration de l'échangeur 4 au voisinage du premier entrefer 7A de la machine tournante 1 permet de mutualiser les fonctions d'inducteur magnétocalorique et de rotor 5 de la machine tournante 1. Ce regroupement permet, avantageusement, de minimiser la masse d'aimants ou de bobines employés dans le fonctionnement de la machine 1, mais aussi de réduire son encombrement et sa masse.  The integration of the exchanger 4 in the vicinity of the first air gap 7A of the rotating machine 1 allows to share the functions of magnetocaloric inductor and rotor 5 of the rotating machine 1. This grouping advantageously allows to minimize the mass of magnets or coils used in the operation of the machine 1, but also to reduce its size and mass.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, l'échangeur 4 est intercalé entre la culasse 3 et le premier entrefer 7A et comporte l'alésage 6, tel que visible sur la figure 4.  According to another embodiment of the invention, the exchanger 4 is interposed between the yoke 3 and the first gap 7A and comprises the bore 6, as visible in FIG.

Dans une application particulière et avantageuse de l'invention, le rotor 5 de la machine tournante 1 est conçu apte à entraîner une ou plusieurs pompes faisant circuler le fluide caloporteur à l'intérieur de l'échangeur 4 et du circuit d'utilisation, ce qui permet d'améliorer le rendement global de la machine 1 ainsi que de réduire son encombrement. In a particular and advantageous application of the invention, the rotor 5 of the rotating machine 1 is designed capable of driving one or more pumps circulating the coolant inside the exchanger 4 and the use circuit, which improves the overall efficiency of the machine 1 and reduce its bulk.

Selon l'invention et tel que visible sur les figures 2, According to the invention and as visible in FIGS.

6, 8 et 13, dans une version préférée de réalisation, le stator 11 fixe de la machine tournante 1 comporte au moins six pôles statoriques . 6, 8 and 13, in a preferred embodiment, the fixed stator 11 of the rotary machine 1 comprises at least six stator poles.

Avantageusement, le rotor 5 quant à lui comporte un premier nombre de pôles rotoriques égal à quatre.  Advantageously, the rotor 5 has a first number of rotor poles equal to four.

Selon un mode d'exécution préféré de l'invention, le nombre n de paires pôles rotoriques est différent du nombre N de paires de pôles statoriques.  According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the number n of pairs of rotor poles is different from the number N of pairs of stator poles.

Préférentiellement le fait d'avoir quatre pôles rotoriques et six pôles statoriques permet un rendement optimal de la machine tout en ayant un encombrement réduit. De plus ces valeurs permettent d'obtenir des créneaux d'induction bien nets dans la machine tournante 1, tel que visible sur la figure 7 en valeur absolue.  Preferably having four rotor poles and six stator poles allows optimum performance of the machine while having a small footprint. In addition, these values make it possible to obtain very clear induction slots in the rotary machine 1, as can be seen in FIG. 7 in absolute value.

D'une manière avantageuse, pour améliorer encore ces créneaux d'induction dans la machine tournante 1, cette dernière comporte des moyens de régulation conçus aptes à commander la rotation pas à pas du rotor 5, par une alimentation adaptée du stator 11.  Advantageously, to further improve these induction slots in the rotating machine 1, the latter comprises control means designed capable of controlling the stepwise rotation of the rotor 5, by a suitable supply of the stator 11.

Pour en revenir aux pôles statoriques, ils se présentent sous la forme de dents 14 bobinées et permettent la création d'un champ magnétique lorsque ces dernières sont alimentées par un courant.  To return to the stator poles, they are in the form of 14 teeth wound and allow the creation of a magnetic field when they are fed with a current.

C'est d'ailleurs au niveau des ces dents 14 que la machine tournante 1 comporte des capteurs raccordés à des moyens de régulation de vitesse par régulation du courant délivré aux bobines que comporte le stator 11.  It is also at these teeth 14 that the rotating machine 1 comprises sensors connected to speed regulation means by regulating the current delivered to the coils that the stator 11 comprises.

Préférentiellement, la machine tournante 1 est pourvue de moyen de commande (non représentés) conçus aptes à piloter les différents paramètres de la machine tournante 1. Plus particulièrement ces moyens de commande agissent sur les moyens de régulation de vitesse, sur la variation du courant au stator, sur la température du stator ou encore sur la circulation du fluide caloporteur dans l'échangeur. Preferably, the rotating machine 1 is provided with control means (not shown) designed to control the different parameters of the rotary machine 1. More particularly, these control means act on the means of speed regulation, on the variation of the stator current, on the stator temperature or on the circulation of the coolant in the exchanger.

Avantageusement, ces capteurs sont des capteurs à effet Hall disposés sur plusieurs des dents 14 du stator 11. Chaque capteur à effet Hall est notamment placé dans une encoche que comporte une dent 14. De préférence, quand le stator 11 comporte six pôles, trois capteurs sont disposés à 130° sur le stator 11.  Advantageously, these sensors are Hall effect sensors arranged on several of the teeth 14 of the stator 11. Each Hall effect sensor is notably placed in a notch that has a tooth 14. Preferably, when the stator 11 has six poles, three sensors are arranged at 130 ° on the stator 11.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, les bobines du stator 11 sont alimentées en courant par des moyens d'alimentation conçus aptes à alimenter le stator 11 de façon périodique, c'est-à-dire alternative, créant ainsi un flux magnétique également alternatif au niveau du rotor 5.  According to another characteristic of the invention, the stator coils 11 are supplied with current by power supply means designed to feed the stator 11 periodically, that is to say, alternately, thus creating a magnetic flux as well. alternative at the rotor 5.

Selon un autre mode d'exécution de l'invention, les bobines du stator 11 sont encore alimentées par des moyens d'alimentation conçus aptes à les alimenter en créneaux de courant ou par un signal sinusoïdal pour obtenir une répartition de flux sinusoïdale.  According to another embodiment of the invention, the coils of the stator 11 are still powered by power supply means adapted to supply them with current pulses or by a sinusoidal signal to obtain a sinusoidal flux distribution.

Le stator 11 est donc alimenté par l'intermédiaire des bobines par un courant pour créer un champ magnétique B et ainsi entraîner le rotor 5 par l'intermédiaire des moyens de concentration de flux 8 qu'il comporte.  The stator 11 is thus fed via the coils by a current to create a magnetic field B and thus drive the rotor 5 via the flux concentration means 8 that it comprises.

D'ailleurs, les moyens de concentration de flux 8 du rotor 5 sont composés de bobines d'induction ou d'aimants permanents 15. Le rotor 5 d'une telle machine tournante 1 peut être droit afin de procurer une bonne induction en son sein mais il peut être vrillé pour améliorer la forme du champ magnétique dans le premier entrefer 7A.  Moreover, the flux concentration means 8 of the rotor 5 are composed of induction coils or permanent magnets 15. The rotor 5 of such a rotating machine 1 may be straight in order to provide good induction within it but it can be twisted to improve the shape of the magnetic field in the first gap 7A.

Avantageusement les moyens de concentration de flux 8 sont constitués par un assemblage d'aimants permanents 15.  Advantageously, the flux concentration means 8 consist of an assembly of permanent magnets 15.

Préférentiellement, la disposition de cet assemblage d'aimant 15 résulte d'une démarche inventive de perfectionnement d'une structure Halbach pour obtenir le rebouclage et la concentration de flux en un point de 1' échangeur 4. D'une manière avantageuse et tel que visible sur la figure 6, les moyens de concentration de flux 8 du rotor 5 comportent un assemblage d'aimants permanents 15 permettant, avantageusement, de réduire l'encombrement et la masse dans le rotor 5. De plus ces aimants permanents 15 sont plus faciles à mettre en œuvre qu'un bobinage. Ils peuvent être de tout type mais ils sont, préférentiellement, en néodyme- fer-bore présentant une induction rémanente de valeur supérieure à 1 Tesla et présentant idéalement une induction rémanente la plus élevée possible. Preferably, the arrangement of this magnet assembly 15 results from an inventive step of refining a Halbach structure to obtain looping and concentration of flux at a point of the exchanger 4. Advantageously and as visible in FIG. 6, the flux concentration means 8 of the rotor 5 comprise an assembly of permanent magnets 15 advantageously making it possible to reduce the bulk and the mass in the rotor 5. the longer these permanent magnets 15 are easier to implement than a winding. They may be of any type but they are, preferably, neodymiron-boron having a remanent induction of greater than 1 Tesla and ideally having the highest possible remanent induction.

A ce propos, on observera que chaque pôle du rotor 5, s 'étendant entre le premier entrefer 7A et le second entrefer 7B, est réalisé par un assemblage d'aimants permanents 15.  In this regard, it will be observed that each pole of the rotor 5, extending between the first gap 7A and the second gap 7B, is formed by a permanent magnet assembly 15.

Préférentiellement, l'assemblage d'aimants permanents 15 comporte, se développant de façon sensiblement prismatique ou hélicoïdale par rapport audit axe de rotation 2, au moins un aimant 16 comportant une aimantation parallèle selon une première direction radiale 17 dudit rotor 5.  Preferably, the assembly of permanent magnets 15 comprises, developing substantially prismatically or helically relative to said axis of rotation 2, at least one magnet 16 having a parallel magnetization in a first radial direction 17 of said rotor 5.

Avantageusement, cet aimant 16 est entouré de part et d'autre, de chaque côté, par au moins un aimant 18 et 19 qui comporte une aimantation parallèle selon une direction d'aimantation transversale 20 par rapport à ladite première direction radiale 17, c'est-à-dire faisant un angle 21 compris entre -20° et +20° par rapport à une direction perpendiculaire à ladite première direction radiale 17.  Advantageously, this magnet 16 is surrounded on either side, on each side, by at least one magnet 18 and 19 which comprises a parallel magnetization in a direction of transverse magnetization 20 with respect to said first radial direction 17, c ' that is to say making an angle 21 between -20 ° and + 20 ° with respect to a direction perpendicular to said first radial direction 17.

D'une manière avantageuse, cet angle 21 des aimants 18 et 19 est de 45°.  Advantageously, this angle 21 of the magnets 18 and 19 is 45 °.

Préférentiellement, la direction d'aimantation transversale 2 Odes aimants 18 et 19 est perpendiculaire à la première direction radiale 17 de l'aimant 16.  Preferably, the transverse magnetization direction 20 of the magnets 18 and 19 is perpendicular to the first radial direction 17 of the magnet 16.

A ce propos, c'est la combinaison de l'alimentation en courant du stator 11 et de l'agencement des trois aimants 16 ,18 et 19 qui permet de créer un champ variable et intense supérieur à 1,1 Tesla et de forme rectangulaire, encore visible sur la figure 7. Plus particulièrement et tel que visible sur la figure 8, la concentration de flux, due à l'assemblage particulier des aimants permanents 15, permet de maximiser localement l'induction en concentrant les lignes de champ dans une grande zone du premier entrefer 7A , zone d'induction maximale 22, tout en déviant le flux hors du premier entrefer 7A, afin d'obtenir au même instant dans une autre zone de ce premier entrefer 7A une zone d'induction nulle 23. In this respect, it is the combination of the power supply of the stator 11 and the arrangement of the three magnets 16, 18 and 19 which makes it possible to create a variable and intense field greater than 1.1 Tesla and of rectangular shape. , still visible in Figure 7. More particularly, and as can be seen in FIG. 8, the concentration of flux, due to the particular assembly of the permanent magnets 15, makes it possible to locally maximize the induction by concentrating the field lines in a large zone of the first air gap 7A, zone maximum induction 22, while deflecting the flow out of the first air gap 7A, to obtain at the same time in another area of the first air gap 7A a zero induction zone 23.

De manière avantageuse, une forte variation Δ du champ magnétique B maximale est créée en un point de l'échangeur 4 (ou du premier entrefer 7A) de la machine tournante 1.  Advantageously, a large variation Δ of the maximum magnetic field B is created at a point of the exchanger 4 (or the first gap 7A) of the rotating machine 1.

Selon un mode d'exécution préféré de l'invention, l'aimant 16 comportant une aimantation parallèle selon une première direction radiale 17 dudit rotor 5 est constitué par la juxtaposition d'au moins:  According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the magnet 16 comprising a parallel magnetization in a first radial direction 17 of said rotor 5 is constituted by the juxtaposition of at least:

un premier aimant 24 de section sensiblement hexagonale, visible sur la figure 9, dans un plan perpendiculaire 25 au dit axe de rotation 2.  a first magnet 24 of substantially hexagonal section, visible in Figure 9, in a plane perpendicular to said axis of rotation 2.

- un second aimant 26 de section trapézoïdale, visible sur la figure 10, dans un plan perpendiculaire 25 au dit axe de rotation 2.  a second magnet 26 of trapezoidal section, visible in FIG. 10, in a plane perpendicular to said axis of rotation 2.

Avantageusement, le premier aimant 24 comporte une première face 27 s 'étendant au voisinage dudit premier entrefer 7A parallèlement à la tangente 28 à la première surface externe de révolution 9 dudit rotor 5 au voisinage de la dite première face 27, et comporte une deuxième face 29 sensiblement parallèle à ladite première face 27 qui s'étend au voisinage dudit second entrefer 7B sensiblement parallèlement à la tangente 30 à la deuxième surface interne de révolution 10 dudit rotor 5.  Advantageously, the first magnet 24 comprises a first face 27 extending in the vicinity of said first gap 7A parallel to the tangent 28 to the first outer surface of revolution 9 of said rotor 5 in the vicinity of said first face 27, and comprises a second face 29 substantially parallel to said first face 27 which extends in the vicinity of said second gap 7B substantially parallel to the tangent 30 to the second internal surface 10 of said rotor 5.

A ce propos, on observera que cette seconde face 29 peut présenter un rayon de courbure légèrement supérieur à la deuxième surface interne de révolution 10 du rotor 5.  In this respect, it will be observed that this second face 29 may have a radius of curvature slightly greater than the second internal surface of revolution 10 of the rotor 5.

Il comporte encore deux premières faces obliques externes 31 et 32 du côté dudit premier entrefer 7A et deux secondes faces obliques internes 33 et 34 du côté dudit second entrefer 7B. It comprises two first external oblique faces 31 and 32 on the side of said first air gap 7A and two seconds internal oblique faces 33 and 34 on the side of said second gap 7B.

Préférentiellement, le premier aimant 24 comporte une aimantation parallèle selon la première direction radiale 17 dudit rotor 5.  Preferably, the first magnet 24 comprises a parallel magnetization according to the first radial direction 17 of said rotor 5.

D'une manière avantageuse et analogue au premier aimant 24, le second aimant 26 est d'aimantation parallèle selon la même première direction radiale 17 dudit rotor 5 et dans le même sens que le premier aimant 24 auquel le second aimant 26 est jointif par la plus courte de ses faces parallèles 35.  Advantageously and analogously to the first magnet 24, the second magnet 26 is of parallel magnetization in the same first radial direction 17 of said rotor 5 and in the same direction as the first magnet 24 to which the second magnet 26 is joined by the shorter of its parallel faces 35.

Plus particulièrement, la plus courte de ses faces parallèles 35 s'étend entre le premier aimant 24 et le premier entrefer 7A au voisinage duquel s'étend la plus longue de ses faces parallèles 36. De plus chaque face oblique 37 et 38 du second aimant 26 constituant avec une des premières faces obliques 31 ou 32 du premier aimant 24 un logement 39.  More particularly, the shortest of its parallel faces 35 extends between the first magnet 24 and the first gap 7A in the vicinity of which extends the longest of its parallel faces 36. Moreover each oblique face 37 and 38 of the second magnet 26 constituting with one of the first oblique faces 31 or 32 of the first magnet 24 a housing 39.

Selon un autre mode d'exécution préféré de l'invention, les aimants 18 et 19, qui comportent une aimantation parallèle selon une direction d'aimantation transversale 20 par rapport à ladite première direction radiale 17, sont constitués par au moins :  According to another preferred embodiment of the invention, the magnets 18 and 19, which comprise a parallel magnetization in a direction of transverse magnetization 20 with respect to said first radial direction 17, are constituted by at least:

un troisième aimant de section rectangulaire 40, visible sur la figure 11, dans un plan perpendiculaire 25 audit axe de rotation 2, s 'étendant selon une direction longitudinale oblique 41 par rapport à une seconde direction radiale 42 dudit rotor 5 ;  a third magnet of rectangular section 40, visible in Figure 11, in a plane perpendicular to said axis of rotation 2, extending in an oblique longitudinal direction 41 relative to a second radial direction 42 of said rotor 5;

- un quatrième aimant de section rectangulaire 43, encore visible sur la figure 11, dans un plan perpendiculaire 25 audit axe de rotation 2, s 'étendant selon une direction longitudinale oblique 44 par rapport à une troisième direction radiale 45 du rotor 5 et symétrique à celle du troisième aimant 40 rectangulaire par rapport à la première direction radiale 17.  a fourth magnet of rectangular section 43, still visible in FIG. 11, in a plane perpendicular to said axis of rotation 2, extending in an oblique longitudinal direction 44 with respect to a third radial direction 45 of the rotor 5 and symmetrical to that of the third magnet 40 rectangular with respect to the first radial direction 17.

Avantageusement, le troisième aimant 40 est plaqué à une première extrémité 46 sur une des ses petites faces 47 contre ledit second aimant 26 et contre ledit premier aimant 24 par une de ses longues faces 48 dans un desdits logements 39. Il est d'aimantation parallèle et forme un angle d'environ 45° +/- 20° avec la direction longitudinale 41 et selon une direction perpendiculaire 49 à ladite première direction radiale 17 du rotor 5; Advantageously, the third magnet 40 is plated at a first end 46 on one of its small faces 47 against said second magnet 26 and against said first magnet 24 by one of its long faces 48 in one of said housings 39. is of parallel magnetization and forms an angle of about 45 ° +/- 20 ° with the longitudinal direction 41 and in a direction perpendicular 49 to said first radial direction 17 of the rotor 5;

Préférentiellement, le quatrième aimant 43 est, quant à lui, plaqué à une première extrémité 50 contre ledit premier aimant 24 et ledit second aimant 26 dans l'autre desdits logements 39. Il est d'aimantation parallèle et forme un angle d'environ 45° +/- 20° avec la direction longitudinale 44 et selon la même direction 49 que ledit troisième aimant 40 mais en sens contraire.  Preferably, the fourth magnet 43 is, in turn, plated at a first end 50 against said first magnet 24 and said second magnet 26 in the other of said housings 39. It is of parallel magnetization and forms an angle of about 45 ° +/- 20 ° with the longitudinal direction 44 and in the same direction 49 as said third magnet 40 but in the opposite direction.

Avantageusement et selon un mode d'exécution préféré de l'invention, le troisième aimant 40 de section rectangulaire s'étend selon une direction longitudinale perpendiculaire 51 à la seconde direction radiale 42 dudit rotor 5.  Advantageously and according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the third magnet 40 of rectangular section extends in a perpendicular longitudinal direction 51 to the second radial direction 42 of said rotor 5.

A ce propos, on observera que le quatrième aimant de section rectangulaire 43 s'étend, préférentiellement, selon une direction longitudinale perpendiculaire 52 à la troisième direction radiale 45 dudit rotor 5.  In this regard, it will be observed that the fourth rectangular section magnet 43 extends preferentially in a perpendicular longitudinal direction 52 to the third radial direction 45 of said rotor 5.

D'une manière avantageuse et tel que visible sur la figure 13, le troisième aimant rectangulaire 40 et le quatrième aimant rectangulaire 40 comportent chacun une seconde extrémité 53 et 54 opposée à ladite première extrémité respectivement 46 et 50. Cette seconde extrémité 53 et 54 est préférentiellement conçue apte à coopérer avec les secondes extrémités 53A et 54A que comportent respectivement un troisième 40A et un quatrième 43A aimant rectangulaire d'un autre pôle contiguë et de sens d'aimantation identique.  In an advantageous manner and as can be seen in FIG. 13, the third rectangular magnet 40 and the fourth rectangular magnet 40 each comprise a second end 53 and 54 opposite to said first end 46 and 50 respectively. This second end 53 and 54 is preferably designed adapted to cooperate with the second ends 53A and 54A that respectively comprise a third 40A and a fourth 43A rectangular magnet of another contiguous pole and identical direction of magnetization.

Substantiellement, la machine tournante 1 est donc composée de plusieurs paires de pôles rotoriques contiguës comprenant, chacun, cet agencement particulier des aimants 15 permettant d'obtenir un champ B variable et intense en un point de 1 ' échangeur 4.  Substantially, the rotary machine 1 is thus composed of several pairs of adjacent rotor poles each comprising this particular arrangement of magnets 15 making it possible to obtain a variable and intense field B at a point of the exchanger 4.

D'ailleurs et tel que visible sur la figure 6, la machine tournante 1 comporte une alternance de pôles, le premier comportant une aimantation de sens radial centrifuge au niveau du premier aimant hexagonal 24 et du second aimant trapézoïdal 26, et un sens d'aimantation du troisième aimant rectangulaire 40 et du quatrième aimant rectangulaire 43 vers sa première direction radiale 17. Moreover, and as can be seen in FIG. 6, the rotary machine 1 comprises an alternation of poles, the first having a centrifugal radial direction magnetization the first hexagonal magnet 24 and the second trapezoidal magnet 26, and a magnetization direction of the third rectangular magnet 40 and the fourth rectangular magnet 43 towards its first radial direction 17.

Le second pôle, quant à lui, contiguë au premier pôle comporte, préférentiellement, une aimantation de sens radial centripète au niveau du premier aimant hexagonal 24 et du second aimant trapézoïdal 26, et un sens d'aimantation du troisième aimant rectangulaire 40 et du quatrième aimant rectangulaire 43 s 'éloignant de sa première direction radiale 17.  The second pole, meanwhile, contiguous with the first pole preferably comprises a magnetization of centripetal radial direction at the first hexagonal magnet 24 and the second trapezoidal magnet 26, and a direction of magnetization of the third rectangular magnet 40 and the fourth rectangular magnet 43 away from its first radial direction 17.

Selon un mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention, la machine tournante 1 comporte, au niveau du stator 11, des moyens d'échange thermique raccordés à l'échangeur 4, pour le refroidissement des pôles statoriques.  According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the rotating machine 1 comprises, at the level of the stator 11, heat exchange means connected to the exchanger 4, for cooling the stator poles.

Concrètement, on dérive une partie des frigories créées dans l'échangeur 4 vers le stator 11 afin d'améliorer ses performances, et on crée ainsi un effet d'auto-refroidissement.  Concretely, a part of the frigories created in the exchanger 4 is derived to the stator 11 to improve its performance, and thus creates a self-cooling effect.

A ce propos, on observera que la machine tournante 1 comporte encore, préférentiellement, des moyens de régulation conçus aptes, quand la température du stator 11 diminue, à piloter des moyens d'alimentation en courant des pôles statoriques pour augmenter la densité de courant et par conséquence pour augmenter l'induction. Le refroidissement du stator 11 par le circuit d'utilisation de l'échangeur 4 permet de maximiser l'induction en minimisant le volume de la machine tournante 1.  In this regard, it will be observed that the rotating machine 1 also comprises, preferably, regulation means adapted, when the temperature of the stator 11 decreases, driving current supply means of the stator poles to increase the current density and consequently to increase the induction. The cooling of the stator 11 by the utilization circuit of the exchanger 4 makes it possible to maximize the induction by minimizing the volume of the rotary machine 1.

D'ailleurs, cette régulation de température dans le stator 11 permet d'une part, de réguler la température des matériaux environnants afin que le matériau magnétocalorique soit toujours proche de sa température de Curie, c'est-à-dire la température à laquelle le matériau perd son aimantation spontanée, et d'autre part d'accroitre les performances de la machine tournante 1.  Moreover, this temperature regulation in the stator 11 makes it possible, on the one hand, to regulate the temperature of the surrounding materials so that the magnetocaloric material is always close to its Curie temperature, that is to say the temperature at which the material loses its spontaneous magnetization, and on the other hand to increase the performance of the rotating machine 1.

L'invention concerne encore un moteur synchrone auto- refroidissant de grande puissance supérieure à quelques dizaines de kW comportant une machine tournante 1 telle que décrite ci-dessus. The invention also relates to a high-power self-cooling synchronous motor greater than a few tens of kW comprising a rotating machine 1 as described above.

D'ailleurs, un des problèmes récurrents que pose l'exploitation de gros moteurs synchrones est leur refroidissement. Par la construction d'un moteur selon l'invention, il est désormais possible d'intégrer à la machine un circuit de refroidissement autonome et efficace basé sur les performances des matériaux magnétocaloriques .  Moreover, one of the recurring problems in operating large synchronous motors is their cooling. By the construction of an engine according to the invention, it is now possible to integrate into the machine an autonomous and efficient cooling circuit based on the performance of magnetocaloric materials.

L'invention concerne encore l'utilisation de la machine tournante 1 pour un échange magnétocalorique, l'échangeur 4 étant un échangeur 4 magnétocalorique comportant un matériau à effet magnétocalorique, notamment du gadolinium.  The invention also relates to the use of the rotary machine 1 for a magnetocaloric exchange, the exchanger 4 being a magnetocaloric exchanger 4 comprising a magnetocaloric effect material, especially gadolinium.

Selon un mode d'exécution de l'invention, La machine tournante 1 comprend un stator 11 présente un diamètre extérieur de 83,5 mm et une profondeur de l'ordre de 89 mm. Il comporte douze dents 14 ayant une hauteur de 25,75 mm et une surface d'encoche de 344 mm. Ces dents 14 présentent un bobinage dentaire comprenant 35 spires.  According to one embodiment of the invention, the rotating machine 1 comprises a stator 11 has an outer diameter of 83.5 mm and a depth of the order of 89 mm. It comprises twelve teeth 14 having a height of 25.75 mm and a notch surface of 344 mm. These teeth 14 have a dental coil comprising 35 turns.

A la périphérie de ce stator 11 la machine tournante comprend un rotor 5 présentant un diamètre extérieur de 166,7 mm et une profondeur de 89 mm. A l'intérieur de ce rotor 5 la machine tournante 1 comporte un assemblage d'aimants 15 composé pour un pôle d'un aimant hexagonal 24 de 71 mm de longueur sur 33 mm, de largeur et 89 mm de profondeur, un aimant trapézoïdal 26 de longueur 42 mm, de largeur 9 mm et de profondeur 89mm et deux aimants rectangulaire 40 et 43 de longueur 42 mm, de largeur 11 mm et de profondeur 89 mm.  At the periphery of this stator 11 the rotating machine comprises a rotor 5 having an outside diameter of 166.7 mm and a depth of 89 mm. Inside this rotor 5 the rotating machine 1 comprises a magnet assembly 15 composed for a pole of a hexagonal magnet 24 71 mm long by 33 mm wide and 89 mm deep, a trapezoidal magnet 26 length 42 mm, width 9 mm and depth 89 mm and two rectangular magnets 40 and 43 length 42 mm, width 11 mm and depth 89 mm.

Autour de ce rotor 5 la machine tournante 1 comporte encore un échangeur présentant un diamètre extérieur de l'ordre de 185 mm et de profondeur 89 mm.  Around this rotor 5 the rotating machine 1 further comprises an exchanger having an outer diameter of about 185 mm and depth 89 mm.

L'ensemble de ces éléments est protégé par une culasse 3 en acier présentant un diamètre externe de 220 mm et de profondeur 89 mm.  All of these elements are protected by a steel cylinder head 3 having an external diameter of 220 mm and a depth of 89 mm.

On comprend bien, au vu de ce dimensionnement, que la machine tournante 1 tel que décrit ci -dessus présente un encombrement avantageusement réduit tout en offrant une grande puissance . It is well understood, in view of this dimensioning, that the rotary machine 1 as described above has a space advantageously reduced while offering great power.
