ELECTRIC MACHINE Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC H02K5/16 H02K1/12 H02K1/27 

FIELD: electrical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: electric machine contains a sealed housing the cavity whereof accommodates a laminated stator core made of electrical steel; along the outer diameter, the laminated stator core relying on the electric machine housing; the stator core has open slots wherein winding coils are placed while the stator cylindrical cavity accommodates the electric machine rotor installed so that to enable rotation. According to this invention, the laminated stator core has radial inter-pack ventilation channels, the aerodynamically communicating housing longitudinal channels with inlet holes, communicating with environments via a filter; the conductors of each stator slot winding are fixed with a wedge and a spline insert contacting it, the said insert cross section designed so that to enable fixation of the spline insert back under the slot wedge while the projection cross section matches that of the slot; the spline insert back surface, along the whole of its length, has a longitudinal groove communicating with the stator core inter-pack ventilation channels; the spline inserts volumes projecting above the stator core cavity surface are joined to form a tubular sleeve, preferably - composed of segments, with a cylindrical-shaped inner surface formation; installed inside the housing cavity, coaxial to the stator core cavity, are cylindrical sleeves made of an insulation material such as glass-cloth-base laminate, the sleeves butt-ends attached to those of the stator utmost packs; additionally, the rotor contains an inducer with a cylindrical external surface consisting of poles, permanent magnets, non-magnetic wedges and a shaft; the rotor length exceeds that of the inducer; rigidly attached to the inducer butt-ends are end cylindrical sleeves made of a non-magnetic material, installed flush relative to the inducer external surface and placed inside the stator cylindrical sleeves cavities representing journals of radial gasodynamic petal bearings.

EFFECT: reduction of weight and overall dimensions, increase of life margin of electric machines, in particular - those operating at higher and high rotation rates, combined with ensuring the rotor bow minimisation, improvement of the stator winding cooling and extension of the rotor stability region due to deformation of the said radial gasodynamic petal bearings and prevention of the rotor jams at high circular velocities within the gasodynamic petal bearings positioning area.
