Abstract

An electromagnetic induction device comprises a closed magnetic circuit, without air gap, of which at least one first part is substantially rectilinear and surrounded by a sleeve, the sleeve being surrounded by an electrical conductor which comprises at least one metal sheet electrically insulated on at least one of its faces, wherein at least the first part of the magnetic circuit has a section of circular form.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An electromagnetic induction device comprising a closed magnetic circuit, without air gap, of which at least one first part extends longitudinally along a longitudinal axis, the longitudinal axis being substantially rectilinear, the closed magnetic circuit being surrounded by a sleeve, said sleeve being surrounded by an electrical conductor which comprises at least one metal sheet electrically insulated on at least one of its faces, wherein:
said at least one first part of said magnetic circuit has a section of circular form,
said magnetic circuit is layered by several layers of magnetic material separated by an electrical insulation,
said sleeve comprises an inner face comprising a circular section closely fitting the form of said magnetic circuit, and an outer face comprising curved parts and planar parts, and
said sleeve comprises a plurality of parts adapted to cooperate to surround said magnetic circuit.

2. The electromagnetic induction device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said magnetic circuit comprises at least one second part which has at least one planar surface.

3. The electromagnetic induction device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said magnetic circuit comprises at least one sheet of magnetic material electrically insulated on at least one of its faces and wound over at least one element chosen from at least one other said sheet of magnetic material and itself.

4. The electromagnetic induction device as claimed in claim 1 , said sleeve comprises at least one engaging means adapted to transmit a drive to allow the rotation of said sleeve about said longitudinal axis of said at least one first part, in order to wind and order at least one said electrical conductor in sheet form around said sleeve.

5. The electromagnetic induction device as claimed in claim 1 , comprising two planar electrical conductors in electrical contact with one said electrical conductor and arranged so as to form the terminals of said electrical conductor.

6. The electromagnetic induction device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said sleeve comprises a main axis, an inner face of which the form of a section is circular and closely fits the form of said magnetic circuit, and an outer face defined by a set of straight lines parallel to said main axis, comprising said curved parts and said planar parts.

7. The electromagnetic induction device as claimed in claim 1 , comprising a local heat exchanger in contact with said magnetic circuit outside of said at least one first part.

8. The electromagnetic induction device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein said local heat exchanger comprises at least one surface closely fitting the form of said magnetic circuit and at least one planar surface.

9. The electromagnetic induction device as claimed in claim 8 , wherein a section of said magnetic circuit is of circular form along the contact with said local heat exchanger.

10. The electromagnetic induction device as claimed in claim 7 , wherein several surfaces chosen from at least one said planar surface of said magnetic circuit and at least one said planar surface of said local heat exchanger is coplanar and adapted to be placed in contact with at least one planar heat exchanger.
