Description

  The present invention relates to a rotating electrical machine, and more particularly to a structure for circulating a liquid refrigerant in a liquid-cooled rotating electrical machine.

  A drive motor of a hybrid vehicle or an electric vehicle may be provided with a liquid cooling mechanism using a liquid refrigerant in order to remove heat generated during operation. Most typically, a water cooling mechanism for supplying coolant from the radiator is provided, and heat generation from the drive motor is removed by this water cooling mechanism. In recent years, the use of cooling oil as a refrigerant has been studied in order to satisfy the demand for downsizing the cooling mechanism associated with the downsizing and weight reduction of vehicles.

  Various liquid cooling techniques for motors are known. For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-364343 discloses a technique in which a cover member is attached to the front end and the rear end of a stator via an O-ring, and a flow path for liquid refrigerant is formed by the cover member. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2004-112856 discloses a cooling structure that closes the opening of the slot to make the slot a passage through which a refrigerant can flow. In the motor disclosed in this publication, the stator is fixed to the case by a case fixing member.

  One requirement in the design of the liquid cooling mechanism is an improvement in cooling efficiency, particularly an improvement in the cooling efficiency of the winding. The main heat source of the motor is a winding, and cooling of the winding is one of the important factors for improving the reliability of the motor. For this purpose, it is desirable that the liquid cooling mechanism is configured so that the liquid refrigerant spreads over the entire winding. Furthermore, it is desirable that the demand for improvement in cooling efficiency be realized with a structure that can be assembled with a small number of man-hours. Such a requirement applies to both the motor and the generator, that is, to the rotating electrical machine in common.

At this time, it should be noted that the lead wire 35 a of the winding 35 is located on the opening side of the housing 31. Further, a retainer 39 is fitted, and the stator iron core 33 is fixed to the housing 31. If the housing 31 is placed on the work table with the side to which the cover 32 of the housing 31 is attached facing up, the above work is facilitated. Further, the lead wire 35a is drawn out from a hole provided in the housing 31, and the hole is sealed. Further, the weir member 40 is placed so as to cover the lead wire 35 a side of the winding 35.

Specifically, in the motor of the present embodiment, the inner blade portion 52 of each bobbin member 34A is fitted into the housing 31, and the inner blade portion 55 of each bobbin member 34B is pressed against the cover 32 with the packing 38 interposed therebetween. Thereby, an annular space is formed by the housing 31, the cover 32, and the inner blade portions 52, 55 of the bobbin members 34A, 34B. That is, the cooling oil flow path is formed in an annular shape so that the cooling oil does not enter the inner blade portions 52 and 55. The structure in which the bobbin members 34A and 34B are also used for forming the flow path is preferable in that the flow path for the cooling oil can be formed with a small number of man-hours. Below, the flow path through which cooling oil flows in the motor 1 of the present embodiment will be described in detail.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the cooling oil is supplied to the supply port 31 a of the housing 31. The cooling oil supplied to the supply port 31a flows in the circumferential direction of the motor 1 through the flow path formed by the groove 36a of the nozzle ring 36 and the housing 31, as shown in FIG. 3A. Each of the 36 supply holes 36b is reached. The cooling oil that has reached the supply hole 36b flows in the radial direction of the motor 1 and is supplied to the supply hole 50 of the bobbin member 34A. As shown in FIG. 2, the cooling oil supplied to the supply hole 50 flows into the space around which the winding 35 is wound, and further flows in the axial direction of the motor 1 along the stator core 33. As a result, the winding 35 is directly cooled by the cooling oil. At this time, since the inner blade portions 52 and 55 of the bobbin members 34A and 34B, the housing 31 and the cover 32 form a dense liquid structure, the cooling oil does not enter the space where the rotor 2 rotates. Please keep in mind. Preventing cooling oil from entering the space in which the rotor 2 rotates is important for increasing the efficiency of the motor 1.

  The cooling oil that has flowed in the axial direction along the stator core 33 and has reached the cover 32 side of the winding 35 then flows in the circumferential direction of the motor 1, and the inner blades of the housing 31, the cover 32, and the bobbin members 34A and 34B. It reaches the lowermost part of the space surrounded by the parts 52 and 55. The cooling oil that has reached the bottom is discharged from the discharge port 31b. The cooling oil discharged from the discharge port 31b is cooled by an oil cooler (not shown), further pumped up by an oil pump (not shown), and returned to the supply port 31a of the housing 31.

  One thing to note about the cooling oil flow path described above is that the cooling oil is dispersed in the circumferential direction by the grooves 36a of the nozzle ring 36 and then injected into the supply holes 50 of the bobbin members 34A in the radial direction. That is. Such a structure is effective for shortening the axial length of the motor 1. In the structure in which the cooling oil is supplied in the axial direction as disclosed in JP-A-4-364343 and JP-A-2004-112856, the axial length of the motor 1 increases. In the present embodiment, since the cooling oil is injected in the radial direction, the axial length of the motor 1 can be shortened.

  One feature of the motor 1 of the present embodiment is that the flow of the cooling oil on the lead wire 35a side of the winding 35 is controlled by the weir member 40, thereby effectively improving the cooling efficiency. When the cooling oil is removed from the gap between the windings 35 in the axial direction on the lead wire 35a side of the winding 35, the entire surface of the winding 35 is difficult to get wet by the cooling oil, and the cooling efficiency is lowered. The weir member 40 changes the flow of the cooling oil flowing in the axial direction to the circumferential direction, and thereby makes the entire winding 35 easily wetted by the cooling oil. This is effective for improving the cooling efficiency.

  Here, the fact that the weir member 40 is formed of an elastic material (an elastically deformable material) is important for controlling the flow of the cooling oil according to the complicated structure on the lead wire side of the winding 35. Please note that. On the lead-out side of the winding 35, the lead-out line 35a and the signal line are wired, so that a structure with irregular irregularities appears. Since the weir member 40 is made of an elastic material, the weir member 40 can be disposed along the lead wire side of the winding 35 even if it has an irregular structure. This is effective for improving the cooling efficiency.

  In the motor 1 of this embodiment, the flow of the cooling oil is further controlled by the winding cover 34C fitted into the bobbin member 34A so that the cooling oil is efficiently supplied to the winding 35. Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 10, in the motor 1 of the present embodiment, the winding cover 34 </ b> C covers the housing 31 side of the winding 35 at a position close to the supply hole 50, and cooling is performed. The oil is prevented from leaving the winding 35 toward the housing 31. Thereby, the coil | winding 35 becomes easy to get wet with cooling oil, and cooling efficiency improves. In addition, since the winding cover 34C is curved along the winding 35, the cooling oil flowing in from the supply hole 50 flows along the winding 35 (see the arrow in FIG. 10). This is also effective for improving the cooling efficiency. Thus, in this embodiment, the flow of the cooling oil is controlled by the winding cover 34C, and the cooling efficiency is improved. This is effective for improving the reliability of operation of the motor 1.

  Note that in the motor 1 of the present embodiment, the winding cover 34C is not an essential component for improving the cooling efficiency by the cooling oil. In the motor 1 of the present embodiment, it is possible that the weir member 40 is used but the winding cover 34C is not used.

  Moreover, although the embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a motor has been described above, it should be noted that the present invention can be applied to any rotating electric machine of a motor and a generator.
