- Patent application JP 2020 120536 relates to a non-twisted stator, comprising round wires, and equipped with a cooling fluid distribution plate arranged annularly between two stacks of stator laminations.
- the invention aims to meet all or part of this need and thus has as its object, according to one of its aspects, a method for manufacturing a stator for a rotating electrical machine, comprising the following steps:
- the sheets are stacked aligned, in particular not integral with each other and without angular offset between the sheets, then the stacks of sheets are twisted after insertion of the electrical conductors, which can make it possible to facilitate the insertion of the conductors electrical, which indeed thus takes place in one or more untwisted stacks.
- the twisting of the electrical conductors leads to the twisting of the stacks of sheets in which they are inserted.
- the laminations are forced by the electrical conductors to shift angularly relative to each other around the longitudinal axis X of the stator.
- the electrical conductors are used to twist the sheets which are only stacked on top of each other without any mechanical effort, which avoids in particular any effort on any insulation of the electrical conductors.
- step (c) of twisting the twisting of the stacks of sheets can be accompanied from the outside, for example by means of rotary cams supported by twisting plates.
- step (a) the sheets can be stacked on an expanding mandrel.
- step (a) you can insert at least one spacer between certain sheets.
- the spacer thus inserted between the sheets can be intended to separate two stacks of consecutive sheets.
- the spacer makes it possible to maintain the laminations of the first stack of laminations during this step (e) of twisting of the conductors.
- the sheets of insulation may not be continuous over the entire length of the stator.
- the insulation sheets can be continuous along the entire length of the stator.
- the method may include the following additional step:
- the step (a') of inserting the insulation device can take place after the step (a) of supplying, in particular after the step of insulation, and before the step (b) of inserting the conductors electrical.
- the method may include the following additional step:
- Step (d) of separation can be carried out by means of the aforementioned extensible mandrel.
- Step (d) of separation can take place after step (b) of inserting the electrical conductors and before step (c) of twisting.

- the insertion step (e) can take place after the separation step (d) and before the twisting step (c).
- the twisting tools can have the shape of fingers. Each twisting tool can be inserted between two circumferentially consecutive electrical conductors.
- the set of twisting tools can comprise a plurality of sets of twisting tools, for example a set at each of the ends of the stator and one or more sets between two stacks of consecutive sheets.
- Each set may include twisting tools that are circumferentially distributed, in particular regularly distributed.
- Step (e) of inserting the twisting tools can take place after step (b) of inserting the electrical conductors, after step (d) of separation and before step (c) of twisting.
- the twisting step (c) can be implemented using the aforementioned twisting tools. Twisting tools make it possible to exert circumferential pressure on electrical conductors, in order to deform them to twist them.
- step (c) bundles of sheets are obtained.
- the twisting tools can be removed.
- the shape of the stack of laminations observed in a plane containing the longitudinal axis X of the stator on either side of the twisting tools can be that left on the electrical conductors of the winding by the twisting tools.
- the shape may be that of a stack in an arc of a circle.
- the shape could alternatively be straight with rounding in connection with the two end packages.
- the bundles of sheets can be clamped axially, then proceed to their welding.
- the same U-shaped electrical conductor can be placed in two different, non-consecutive slots in the stator mass of the stator. If an electrical conductor is U-shaped, it can be welded to two other electrical conductors on the same side of the machine.
- a further subject of the invention is a rotating electrical machine stator manufactured by the process described above.
- the invention also relates, independently or in combination with the foregoing, to a stator for a rotating electrical machine, comprising a stator mass formed from a stack of sheets, comprising notches, electrical conductors housed in the notches, in particular at the at least some of the electrical conductors, or even a majority of the electrical conductors, better still all the electrical conductors, being in the shape of a U-shaped or I-shaped hairpin, the stator mass being composed of a plurality of packets arranged consecutively along a longitudinal axis X of the stator, the laminations of at least one package, preferably of all the packages, being angularly offset from each other around the longitudinal axis of the stator, the laminations of the first package being angularly offset in a direction and the laminations of the second package being angularly offset in the other direction, the stator mass being devoid of protuberance on its outer surface.
- a protrusion can be used in the prior art to deform the electrical conduct
- stacks of sheets and the electrical conductors inserted therein are deformed with the method described above.
- the stacks may have no gripping means. Once the twisting of the stacks of sheets has been carried out, packets of sheets are obtained.
- the stator according to the invention makes it possible to improve the noise and vibration reduction performance of the resulting machine, as well as the cooling of the machine.
- the invention also makes it possible to reduce the total cost of the machine, by making it possible to simplify the assembly of the rotor with a stack of sheets in a single angular orientation, with an interface between the rotor and a shaft of the simplified machine.
- the laminations of the stator lamination stack are magnetic.
- the stator mass comprises teeth defining between them the notches, the teeth being attached to a yoke of the stator.
- the electrical conductors may have an inclined shape, due to the angular offset between the sheets.
- the electrical conductors have a change in inclination, in particular at the level of the aforementioned spacer or a change of package. They can thus have a double inclination, in one direction then in the opposite direction. The two inclinations can have the same angle in absolute value.
- the electrical conductors may have a curvilinear shape. This curvilinear shape may result from the bending of the electrical conductors during the realization of the inclination.
- the stator according to the invention may have no weld bead protruding from the outer surface of the stator mass. It may for example be devoid of protuberance on its outer surface. It may have no input means. This can facilitate its insertion into a crankcase. Indeed, the stator is then advantageously devoid of external protrusion which would be restrictive for shrinking in a casing or devoid of grooves in the yoke which would degrade the exchange surface between the stacks and the casing, which is particularly advantageous when the crankcase is water cooled.
- the stator may however comprise at least one bead of welds of the laminations of the same package.
- the stator may for example comprise on the outer surface of the stator mass one or more lunes or specific shapes allowing welding.
- the weld bead may in particular be visible on the outer surface of the stator mass.
- the weld bead may in particular have an inclination with respect to the longitudinal axis X of the stator, due to the angular offset between the sheets.
- the inclination of the weld bead(s) can correspond to the value of the angular offset between the sheets.
- the stator may comprise one or more weld beads distributed angularly around the longitudinal axis X of the stator, for example two, three or four. They can in particular be regularly distributed angularly, in particular at 180°, or at 120°, or even at 90°.
- the weld beads can be continuous over the length of a packet, or even all the packets, or alternatively interrupted at the level of the possible spacer.
- the weld beads can advantageously be continuous over the length of all the packages, in particular when the spacer comprises metallic elements. Indeed, these metal elements allow the weld beads to extend from the first pack of sheets to the metal elements of the spacer and then to the second pack of sheets. This solution considerably improves the mechanical integrity of the stator before insertion into a casing or a firette.
- stator may have no spacer between two consecutive packages.
- the stacks of sheets may not be separated from each other. They may not be separated from each other by a spacer.
- two consecutive packets can be separated by a spacer.
- the spacer can be magnetic. It may comprise a magnetic material.

- the metal used can be magnetic or non-magnetic.
- the spacer can be at least partially made of a non-metallic material, for example plastic.
- the spacer may in one embodiment comprise a ring of plastic material, for example molded onto metal elements, for example of parallelepiped shape. These metal elements can have a mechanical role while the plastic used for the overmolding can facilitate the passage of the cooling fluid or integrate a thermal probe.
- the spacer may include cylinder head plates.
- the spacer cylinder head laminations can be magnetic or non-magnetic. They comprise a so-called yoke annular part, which is superimposed on a yoke of the stator mass. In particular, they may be devoid of teeth.
- the spacer may have teeth.
- the teeth of the spacer can be superimposed on a yoke of the stator mass.
- the teeth of the spacer can be inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of the stator, or not be inclined.
- the teeth of the spacer can be placed radially in line with the notches of the stator mass.
- the spacer may advantageously include teeth, in particular when there is continuity of the slot insulation between two stacks of laminations of the stator mass.
- the spacer teeth can span the yoke width of the stator when aligned with the slots in the stator, improving the thermal performance of the machine.
- the spacer teeth may cover the yoke width of the stator as well as a portion of the corresponding stator tooth, when aligned with the stator teeth formed between the notches thereof, thereby improves the mechanical performance of the machine.
- the spacer may comprise a cylinder head part connecting the teeth of the spacer to each other.
- This yoke part can be superimposed with a yoke of the stator mass.
- the spacer may include a cylinder head part providing openings to the outside. Said openings can be made between the teeth mentioned above. The openings of the spacer can be placed radially in line with the teeth of the stator mass.
- the spacer can make it possible to constitute a fresh air inlet in the center of the machine, to favor the circulation of air in the stator, and thus to improve the machine cooling. This is particularly useful on a long machine.
- a stator according to the invention can also be useful on a machine comprising a water-cooled casing.
- the spacer according to the invention can make it possible to improve the cooling of the machine by creating a channel for the passage or supply of a cooling fluid, liquid or gaseous, such as air, oil or other.
- the rotor mass may comprise one or more vents for the passage of a cooling fluid, corresponding to openings in the spacer of the stator, to allow the flow of the cooling fluid. This can then flow through ducts formed by the assembly of the housing and the stator.
- the spacer may have a height measured along the longitudinal axis of the stator of between 1 and 10 mm, better still between 2 and 8 mm, or even between 3 and 6 mm.
- the spacer may in particular have a height measured along the longitudinal axis of the stator of between one and three times the height of the slot insulators, being in particular approximately twice the height of the slot insulators projecting from the package, otherwise called overhang of the package insulators.
- 'Height of the notch insulators' means the height of the insulators which protrude from the notches of the stack of sheets. Such a height makes it possible to reduce the risks of short-circuit at the level of the interface between the consecutive packets, and to increase the arcing distance, in particular between the conductor and the mass.
- Each plate can be offset from the adjacent plate by an elementary angle.
- the elementary angle can be constant. Between two stacks of sheets, the elementary angle can be the same in absolute value. As a variant, the elementary angle may be different from one stack of sheets to another.
- the elementary angle of the angular offset between two consecutive sheets can be between 0.004° and 0.085°, being for example between 0.017° and 0.032°, better still between 0.008 and 0.016°, being for example of the order of 0.01 °.
- a total angular offset of a stack of sheets, measured between a first sheet and a last sheet of the stack of sheets, can be between 2 and 10°, being for example between 2.5 and 8°, better still between 3 and 6°, being for example of the order of 3.75°.
- the elementary angle of the angular offset between two consecutive laminations may correspond to the tooth pitch of the stator over the height of the package divided by the number of laminations in the package. In one embodiment, the elementary angle is equal to the tooth pitch divided by the number of sheets in the stack.
- the sum of the elementary angles of the packets can preferably be zero, in order to avoid an axial component.
- the angle chosen for the angular offset of a single packet can be identical to that used for the different packets in the case of V or W offset packets.
- Sheets in the same stack can be offset relative to each other by a constant elementary angle.
- all the laminations of each stack of the stator can be offset relative to each other by a constant elementary angle.

- the laminations of the stator mass packages can be angularly offset successively in one direction then in the other, being arranged in a V. They can be arranged in a V, being offset symmetrically with respect to a plane of symmetry perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X of the stator.
- the V arrangement with a twist in two different directions, makes it possible to minimize or even eliminate the load exerted on the bearings of the rotor.
- the stator mass may comprise a single central package cut in two by said plane of symmetry.
- the stator mass can comprise two central packets separated by said plane of symmetry. The two central packets may not be angularly offset relative to each other.
- the stator may comprise two packs of laminations, a first pack of laminations offset angularly in one direction, and a second pack of laminations offset angularly in the other direction.
- the elementary offset angles can have the same absolute value. This can advantageously make it possible to completely cancel the axial component of the torque on the rotor.

- the sum of the angular offset angles of the packets can be zero.
- the length of the bundles may vary with a sawtooth variation as one moves along the axis of the stator.
- the central packet or packets may have a different length from the other packets, for example a shorter or longer length.
- the slots in the stator can be closed.
- closed notch is meant notches which are not open radially towards the air gap.
- At least one notch, or even each notch can be continuously closed on the air gap side by a bridge of material coming in one piece with the teeth defining the notch. All the notches can be closed on the air gap side by bridges of material closing the notches. The material bridges may be integral with the teeth defining the notch. The stator mass then has no cutout between the teeth and the bridges of material closing the slots, and the notches are then continuously closed on the side of the air gap by the bridges of material coming from a single piece with the teeth defining the notch.
- the notches can also be closed on the side opposite the air gap by a yoke in one piece with the teeth or added. The notches are then not open radially outwards.
- the stator mass may have no cutout between the teeth and the yoke.
- each of the notches has a continuously closed contour.
- continuously closed is meant that the notches have a continuous closed contour when viewed in cross section, taken perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the machine. You can go all the way around the notch without encountering a cutout in the stator mass.
- the stator mass can be made by stacking magnetic laminations, the notches being made by cutting the laminations.
- the closing of the slots on the side of the air gap is obtained by bridges of material coming from a single piece with the rest of the laminations forming the stator mass.
- the stator may be devoid of added magnetic shims for closing the slots. This eliminates the risk of accidental detachment of these wedges.
