[0008] FIG. 2 depicts a perspective view of the lamination assembly of FIG. 1; and [0009] FIG. 3 depicts an exploded view of the lamination assembly of FIG. 2.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0010] A detailed description of one or more embodiments of the disclosed apparatus and method are presented herein by way of exemplification and not limitation with reference to the Figures.
[0011] A permanent magnet electric machine in accordance with an exemplary embodiment is indicated generally at 2 in FIG. 1. Electric machine 2 includes a housing 4 having an annular side wall 6 that extends from a first end wall 8 to a cantilevered end 9 defining an opening 10. A second end wall or cover 12 is coupled to cantilevered end 9 and extends across opening 10. Annular side wall 6, first end wall 8 and cover 12 collectively define an interior portion 14. Annular side wall 6 includes an inner surface 17. At this point it should be understood that annular side wall 6 may take on many geometries and should not be considered to be limited to being circular. Electric machine 2 is further shown to include a stator 24 arranged on inner surface 17. Stator 24 includes a body or stator core 28 that supports a plurality of stator windings 30 having a first end turn portion 32 and a second end turn portion 34.
[0012] Electric machine 2 is also shown to include a shaft 54 rotatably supported within housing 4. Shaft 54 includes a first end 56 that extends to a second end 57 through an intermediate portion 59. Shaft 54 supports a rotor assembly 70. Rotor assembly 70 includes a hub 72 including a first bearing 74 that supports first end 56 relative to second end wall or cover 12, and a second bearing 75 that supports second end 57 relative to first end wall 8. Rotor assembly 70 includes a lamination assembly 84. Lamination assembly 84 includes a lamination stack 90 that supports a plurality of magnets (not shown). Lamination stack 90 includes a plurality of lamination members, one of which is indicated at 94. As shown in FIG. 2, each of the plurality of lamination members 94 include a plurality of slots 96 and passages 98. Slots 96 are configured to align with one another to form magnet receiving zones (not separately labeled) that support the magnets (not shown). Passages 98 are configured to align with one another to form coolant passages (not separately labeled) that guide a coolant such as air, oil, glycol or the like through lamination assembly 84. In accordance with one aspect of the exemplary embodiment, each lamination member 94 is formed from a material having a first thermal conductivity. For example, lamination members 94 may be formed from steel.
[0013] In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, lamination assembly 84 also includes one or more inter-lamination thermal transfer members, one of which is indicated at 100. In the exemplary embodiment shown, inter-lamination thermal transfer members 100 are inserted between adjacent ones of the plurality of lamination members 94. Inter- lamination thermal transfer member 100 includes a body 110 including a plurality of slots 114 and a plurality of passages 120 that align with slots 96 and passages 98 in the plurality of lamination members 94.
[0014] In further accordance with an exemplary embodiment, body 110 is formed from a thermally conductive media. More specifically body 110 is formed from a media having a second thermal conductivity that is greater than the first thermal conductivity of lamination members 94. In accordance with an aspect of the exemplary embodiment, body 110 is formed from a thermally conductive paper. In accordance with another aspect of the exemplary embodiment, body 110 is formed from a composite material including a ceramic, a silicone and/or an epoxy. The ceramic may include boron nitride, beryllium oxide, aluminum oxide and or combinations thereof. Inter- lamination thermal transfer member 100 may also be formed from graphite. Inter-lamination thermal transfer member 100 is configured to guide thermal energy from lamination assembly 84.
[0015] At this point it should be understood that the inter- lamination thermal transfer member provides a thermal flow path that guides heat from the lamination assembly.
Rejecting heat from the lamination assembly increases an overall service life of the electric machine by reducing thermal forces that may de-magnetize magnets arranged in the plurality of laminations. The inter- lamination thermal transfer member also enables a power increase by facilitating heat rejection from the plurality of magnets provided in the lamination assembly. It should also be understood that the number of inter-lamination thermal transfer members provided in a lamination assembly may vary. Also, while shown as being interleaved with the plurality of lamination members, the inter-lamination thermal transfer member may also be provided on one, the other, or both outer ends of the lamination stack. [0016] While the invention has been described with reference to an exemplary embodiment or embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes may be made and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof without departing from the scope of the invention. In addition, many modifications may be made to adapt a particular situation or material to the teachings of the invention without departing from the essential scope thereof. Therefore, it is intended that the invention not be limited to the particular embodiment disclosed as the best mode contemplated for carrying out this invention, but that the invention will include all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims.
