Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] The neutral point bus bar is joined to each phase of the conductor segments by welding and is provided in a state supported by the stator winding (conductor segments). In this case, a higher joining strength is required at the joining portion between the conductor segment and the neutral point bus bar than at the joining portion between the conductor segments. However, if the welding energy is increased or the like to increase the strength of the joining portion between the conductor segment and the neutral point bus bar, there is a concern that problems such as melting of the insulating film may occur due to excessive high temperature on the conductor segment side.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a stator capable of properly joining a neutral point bus bar to a conductor segment.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] Hereinafter, means for solving the above problems and their operational effects will be described.

[0007] Method 1 is, A stator comprising: a stator core; a stator winding provided on the stator core and having a plurality of phase windings; and a neutral point busbar provided at the coil end of the stator winding, connected to the phase windings of each phase, The stator winding is constructed using multiple conductor segments, each of which is connected to the others. At the coil end, the tips of the conductor segments are joined by welding in an overlapping state, while the tip of the conductor segment connected to the neutral point of the stator winding and the busbar terminal of the neutral point busbar are joined by welding in an overlapping state. The connection between the tip of the conductor segment and the busbar terminal is characterized in that the area of ​​the cross-sectional surface of the busbar terminal is smaller than the conductor cross-sectional area of ​​the conductor segment.

[0008] In the segmented stator, the tips of the conductor segments are joined by welding at the coil ends, overlapping each other. Furthermore, the tip of the conductor segment connected to the neutral point of the stator winding is joined by welding to the busbar terminal of the neutral point busbar, overlapping each other. This joining connects the neutral point busbar to the conductor segment. In particular, at the joint between the tip of the conductor segment and the busbar terminal, the cross-sectional area of ​​the busbar terminal is smaller than the conductor cross-sectional area of ​​the conductor segment.

[0009] In this case, when welding the segment tips to the busbar terminals, the busbar terminals become hotter than the segment tips due to the difference in cross-sectional area. This allows for a greater welding depth compared to welding the tips of the conductor segments together. In other words, while keeping welding conditions such as welding energy the same for welding the tips of the conductor segments together and welding the segment tips and busbar terminals together, the welding depth can be increased in the welding of the segment tips and busbar terminals. Comparing the joining of the tips of the conductor segments together with the joining of the segment tips and busbar terminals, the way the load is applied at each joint differs, and the latter may require greater joint strength, but this method can suitably meet such requirements. As a result, the neutral point busbar can be properly joined to the conductor segments.

[0010] In means 2, in means 1, the tip of the conductor segment and the busbar terminal portion each have a substantially rectangular cross-section, with one side of the tip of the conductor segment and the busbar terminal portion overlapping each other, and the busbar terminal portion has a rectangular cross-section consisting of a long side and a short side, with the long side overlapping the tip of the conductor segment and having the same width as the tip.

[0011] In a configuration in which the tip of a conductor segment and one side of a busbar terminal are joined while overlapping each other, the longer side of the busbar terminal, which has a rectangular cross-section, is overlapped with the tip of the conductor segment, and the width of the longer side of the busbar terminal and the tip of the conductor segment are made the same. In this case, even though the areas of the cross-sections of the tip of the conductor segment and the busbar terminal are different, the overlap of the joining portion can be performed in the same way as the welding portion between the tips of the conductor segments. This allows welding to be performed suitably.

[0012] In means 3, in means 1 or 2, the neutral point busbar has a long main body portion extending in the circumferential direction of the stator core, and a plurality of protrusions projecting from the main body portion in a direction intersecting its longitudinal direction, the protrusions having the busbar terminal portion at their tip and a root portion between the main body portion and the busbar terminal portion, and in the neutral point busbar, the area of ​​the cross-section of the main body portion and the root portion is larger than the area of ​​the cross-section of the busbar terminal portion.

[0013] In a neutral point busbar, multiple protrusions extend from the main body portion that circumferentially extends from the stator core. At the tip of these protrusions, the end is the busbar terminal portion, and the end is the base portion. In the neutral point busbar, the cross-sectional area of ​​the main body portion and the base portion are larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the busbar terminal portion. With this configuration, when the tip portion of the conductor segment and the busbar terminal portion are welded, the welded area becomes very hot, and when this heat is transferred to the conductor segment and the neutral point busbar, it is more easily transferred to the main body portion of the neutral point busbar via the base portion. In other words, the heat from welding is more easily transferred to the neutral point busbar side than to the conductor segment side. Therefore, problems such as the insulating coating of the conductor segment melting due to heat are less likely to occur.

[0014] In method 4, a temperature sensor is integrally mounted to the neutral point busbar in method 3.

[0015] The neutral busbar becomes hot due to the heat generated when current flows through it, and this temperature is detected by a temperature sensor. However, in this case, if the heat from the neutral busbar escapes to the conductor segment side through the protrusion, there is a concern that the accuracy of temperature detection will decrease. Furthermore, while the stator winding switches the current on for each phase, the neutral busbar remains energized regardless of which phase is energized, so it is possible that the neutral busbar will become hotter.

[0016] In this regard, as described above, in the neutral point busbar, the cross-sectional areas of the main body part and the root part are each larger than the cross-sectional area of the busbar terminal part. In other words, the cross-sectional area of the busbar terminal part is smaller than the cross-sectional areas of the main body part and the root part. As a result, the heat of the neutral point busbar escaping to the conductor segment side is suppressed. Therefore, a decrease in the temperature detection accuracy by the temperature sensor is suppressed.

[0017] In means 5, in means 4, the cross-sectional area of the portion of the neutral point busbar where the temperature sensor is assembled and the conductor cross-sectional area of the conductor segment are the same.

[0018] Since the cross-sectional area of the portion of the neutral point busbar where the temperature sensor is assembled and the conductor cross-sectional area of the conductor segment are the same, the current density becomes the same when the conductor segment and the neutral point busbar are energized. As a result, the temperature detection accuracy can be improved in the temperature sensor provided integrally with the neutral point busbar.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0020] Hereinafter, embodiments of the rotating electric machine according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following embodiments and modifications, parts that are the same or equivalent to each other are denoted by the same reference numerals in the drawings, and the descriptions of such parts will be referred to accordingly. The motor as a rotating electric machine of this embodiment can be used, for example, as an electric motor for a vehicle or an electric motor for an aircraft.

[0021] The rotating electric machine of this embodiment is applicable to permanent magnet synchronous motors, wound field motors, and induction motors, and is a rotating electric machine having multiphase windings. The rotating electric machine comprises a cylindrical stator and a rotor arranged opposite the stator in the radial direction. The rotor is arranged to be rotatable around the axis of rotation. First, the schematic configuration of the stator 10 will be described using Figures 1 to 3. In the following description, axial direction refers to the axial direction of the stator 10, i.e., the axial direction of the rotor's axis of rotation; radial direction refers to the radial direction of the stator 10, i.e., the direction perpendicular to the rotor's axis of rotation; and circumferential direction refers to the circumferential direction of the stator 10, i.e., the circumferential direction around the rotor's axis of rotation.

[0022] The stator 10 comprises an annular stator core 11 and stator windings 12 wound around the stator core 11. The rotating electric machine of this embodiment is an inner rotor type rotating electric machine, in which the rotor is arranged radially inside the stator 10 in a rotatable state. The stator windings 12 have U-phase windings, V-phase windings, and W-phase windings as phase windings, and each of these phase windings is Y-connected to form a three-phase winding. The stator windings 12 generate magnetic flux when power (AC power) is supplied from a power source via an inverter (not shown).

[0023] The stator core 11 has an annular back yoke 21 and a plurality of teeth 22 that protrude radially inward from the back yoke 21 and are arranged at predetermined distances in the circumferential direction, with slots 23 formed between adjacent teeth 22. The slots 23 have an open shape that extends radially as its length and are provided at equal intervals in the circumferential direction in the stator core 11. The stator windings 12 are provided wound around these slots 23. The stator core 11 is constructed as a core sheet laminate in which core sheets made of, for example, magnetic electromagnetic steel sheets are stacked in the axial direction.

[0024] The stator winding 12 is constructed using multiple conductor segments 30, which are divided conductors formed into a roughly U-shape from electrical conductors of a uniform thickness and a roughly rectangular cross-section (flat-angle cross-section). Each conductor segment 30 is connected to the others at the coil end CE. The coil end CE is the portion that is axially outward from the stator core 11 on both axial sides. The segment structure of the stator winding 12 will be described in detail below.

[0025] Figure 4 is an explanatory diagram showing the state in which the conductor segment 30 is inserted into the slot 23 of the stator core 11. As shown in Figure 4, the conductor segment 30 is substantially U-shaped and has a pair of straight sections 31 and a bent section 32 that connects the pair of straight sections 31. The pair of straight sections 31 have a length longer than the axial thickness of the stator core 11. The conductor segment 30 is made of a flat rectangular conductor (a conductor having a pair of opposing planar sections) covered with an insulating coating, and the tip of each straight section 31 is a conductor exposed section 33 where the conductor is exposed by cutting off the insulating coating.

[0026] Multiple conductor segments 30 are inserted into the slots 23 of the stator core 11 in a radially aligned row. As a result, each straight section 31 of the conductor segments 30 is housed in multiple layers within the slots 23. In the conductor segments 30, a pair of straight sections 31 are housed in two slots 23 separated by a predetermined coil pitch. An insulating sheet 24 is provided within the slots 23 to electrically insulate the stator core 11 from the stator windings 12 (conductor segments 30). The insulating sheet 24 is folded to surround the multiple conductor segments 30 inserted into the slots 23 and is provided sandwiched between the inner circumferential surface (inner wall surface) of the stator core 11 and the conductor segments 30 within the slots 23.

[0027] The pair of straight sections 31 of the conductor segment 30 are housed in two slots 23 with their radial positions offset by one. For example, if one straight section 31 is housed at the nth position from the radial rear (back yoke side), the other straight section 31 is housed at the (n+1)th position from the radial rear.

[0028] When inserting each conductor segment 30 into the slot 23 of the stator core 11, the straight portion 31 of each conductor segment 30 is inserted from the first end side of the first and second ends at both axial ends of the stator core 11, and the tip of the straight portion 31 protrudes from the second end side. In this case, at the first end side of the stator core 11, the turned portion 32 of the conductor segment 30 forms a coil end CE on one axial side.

[0029] Furthermore, at the second end of the stator core 11, the opposite-turned portion of each straight portion 31 is bent in the circumferential direction, and the straight portions 31 of different conductor segments 30 are joined together by welding, thereby forming the coil end CE on the other axial side (see Figure 2). At the joint portion of each conductor segment 30, the tips of each conductor segment 30 extend in the same direction (i.e., axially), and the tips of the conductor segments 30 overlap each other, and are joined by welding from the axial direction (direction A in Figure 1). In this case, the tips of each conductor segment 30 are joined by laser welding with their flat surfaces facing each other and overlapping.

[0030] Furthermore, in the stator winding 12, the phase windings of each phase are interconnected by a neutral point busbar 40. As shown in Figure 1, the neutral point busbar 40 is located radially outward of the stator winding 12 at the coil end CE and is connected by welding to the conductor segment 30 which is the winding end of each phase winding. The configuration of the neutral point busbar 40 will be described in detail below.

[0031] As shown in Figure 5, the neutral point busbar 40 is made of a flat rectangular conductor and has a long main body portion 41 and three protrusions 42 that project from the main body portion 41 in a direction intersecting its longitudinal direction. The neutral point busbar 40 is made of a punched material punched out from a flat plate. The main body portion 41 is formed to be long in an arc shape when viewed from above. In terms of the assembly state with respect to the stator winding 12, the neutral point busbar 40 has a main body portion 41 that extends in the circumferential direction and protrusions 42 that extend radially inward from the main body portion 41 toward the stator winding 12 side (see Figure 1). The three protrusions 42 are parts that are joined to the winding ends of the U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase windings, respectively. In this embodiment, the radial tips of the protrusions 42 are joined to the winding ends of the phase windings at the coil end CE by laser welding.

[0032] More specifically, the projection 42 has a busbar terminal portion 42a at its tip, which is joined to the conductor segment 30, and a base portion 42b between the main body portion 41 and the busbar terminal portion 42a. The projection 42 is bent so that the busbar terminal portion 42a and the base portion 42b extend in directions that intersect each other. Furthermore, the busbar terminal portion 42a and the base portion 42b have different width dimensions, with the base portion 42b being wider than the busbar terminal portion 42a. Moreover, in the neutral point busbar 40, the cross-sectional areas of the main body portion 41 and the base portion 42b are each larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the busbar terminal portion 42a.

[0033] Furthermore, a folded portion 43 is provided in the middle of the main body 41, formed by folding back a part of a rectangular conductor. The folded portion 43 is a sensor mounting portion for mounting a temperature sensor 45 (see Figure 1) that detects the temperature of the stator 10. Specifically, the temperature sensor 45 is mounted on the neutral point busbar 40 while being sandwiched between the folded portion 43. Although not shown, a signal line is connected to the temperature sensor 45.

[0034] The main body 41 of the neutral point busbar 40 has a cross-sectional area that is the same as the conductor cross-sectional area of ​​the conductor segment 30. As a result, the cross-sectional area of ​​the part of the main body 41 to which the temperature sensor 45 is assembled is the same as the conductor cross-sectional area of ​​the conductor segment 30. Therefore, when the conductor segment 30 and the neutral point busbar 40 are energized, the current density becomes the same, and the temperature detection accuracy of the temperature sensor 45, which is integrally provided with the neutral point busbar 40, is improved.

[0035] Figures 6 and 7 show enlarged views of the joint between the tip of the conductor segment 30 and the busbar terminal 42a. Figure 7 is a plan view of the joint between the conductor segment 30 and the busbar terminal 42a, viewed from the axial direction.

[0036] In Figure 6, the tip of the conductor segment 30 and the busbar terminal portion 42a of the neutral point busbar 40 each extend in the axial direction, with the conductors overlapping each other. In this state, they are joined together by welding. The conductor segment 30 is joined to the busbar terminal portion 42a at the conductor exposed portion 33. When welding the segment tip and the busbar terminal portion 42a, laser welding is performed in the axial direction (direction A in the figure), similar to the welding of the conductor segments 30 together.

[0037] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 7, the conductor exposed portion 33 and the busbar terminal portion 42a of the conductor segment 30 each have a substantially rectangular cross-section, and one side of the conductor exposed portion 33 and the busbar terminal portion 42a overlap each other. More specifically, the busbar terminal portion 42a has a rectangular cross-section consisting of a long side and a short side, with the long side overlapping the conductor exposed portion 33 of the conductor segment 30, and the width of the long side is the same as that of the conductor exposed portion 33. Also, the width W1 of the short side of the conductor exposed portion 33 of the conductor segment 30 and the width W2 of the short side of the busbar terminal portion 42a are W1 > W2. Due to this configuration, at the joint between the conductor segment 30 and the busbar terminal portion 42a, the area of ​​the cross-section of the busbar terminal portion 42a is smaller than the conductor cross-sectional area of ​​the conductor segment 30.

[0038] The effects and benefits of the stator 10 with the above configuration are explained below.

[0039] In the stator 10, at the joint between the conductor segment 30 and the busbar terminal portion 42a, the cross-sectional area of ​​the busbar terminal portion 42a is smaller than the conductor cross-sectional area of ​​the conductor segment 30. In this case, when welding the segment tip and the busbar terminal portion 42a, the busbar terminal portion 42a becomes hotter than the segment tip due to the difference in cross-sectional area. This allows for a greater welding depth compared to welding the conductor segments 30 together. In other words, while keeping the welding conditions such as welding energy the same for welding the conductor segments 30 together and welding the segment tip and busbar terminal portion 42a, the welding depth can be increased in the welding of the segment tip and busbar terminal portion 42a.

[0040] Comparing the joining of conductor segments 30 to the joining of the segment tips and busbar terminals 42a, the way loads are applied at each joining point differs, and the latter may require greater joining strength. This requirement can be adequately met. Specifically, at the joining point of the segment tips and busbar terminals 42a, the weight of the neutral point busbar 40 itself and external forces due to contact with other components may act, making it desirable to have a higher load-bearing capacity than at the joining point of the conductor segments 30. In this regard, as described above, it is possible to increase the joining strength by increasing the welding depth. As a result, the neutral point busbar 40 can be properly joined to the conductor segments 30.

[0041] The longer side of the cross-section of the busbar terminal portion 42a is aligned with the segment tip, and the widths of the longer side of the busbar terminal portion 42a and the segment tip are made equal. This allows the overlapping of the joint portion to be performed in the same way as the welding portion between the conductor segments 30, even though the areas of the cross-sections of the segment tip and the busbar terminal portion 42a are different. Therefore, welding work can be performed smoothly.

[0042] In the neutral point busbar 40, the cross-sectional area of ​​the main body portion 41 and the base portion 42b are each larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the busbar terminal portion 42a. With this configuration, when the segment tip portion and the busbar terminal portion 42a are welded, the welded area becomes very hot, and when this heat is transferred to the conductor segment 30 and the neutral point busbar 40, it is easier for the heat to be transferred to the main body portion 41 of the neutral point busbar 40 via the base portion 42b. In other words, the heat from welding is more easily transferred to the neutral point busbar 40 side than to the conductor segment 30 side. As a result, the temperature rise on the conductor segment 30 side is suppressed, and problems such as the insulating coating of the conductor segment 30 melting due to heat are less likely to occur.

[0043] Furthermore, the neutral busbar 40 becomes hot due to the heat generated when current flows through it, and this temperature is detected by the temperature sensor 45. However, in this case, if the heat from the neutral busbar 40 escapes to the conductor segment 30 side through the protrusion 42, there is a concern that the temperature detection accuracy will decrease. Note that while the stator winding 12 switches the energization for each phase, the neutral busbar 40 remains energized regardless of which phase is energized, so it is conceivable that the neutral busbar 40 will become hotter. In this regard, as described above, the cross-sectional area of ​​the main body portion 41 and the base portion 42b of the neutral busbar 40 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the busbar terminal portion 42a, or in other words, the cross-sectional area of ​​the busbar terminal portion 42a is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the main body portion 41 and the base portion 42b, thereby suppressing the escape of heat from the neutral busbar 40 to the conductor segment 30 side. Therefore, a decrease in the temperature detection accuracy by the temperature sensor 45 is suppressed.

[0044] (Other embodiments) The above embodiment may be modified as follows, for example.

[0045] In the above embodiment, the cross-sections of the tip of the conductor segment 30 and the busbar terminal portion 42a were both approximately rectangular, and one side of each was superimposed on the other. However, this configuration may be changed. For example, the cross-section of the busbar terminal portion 42a may be made into a cross-sectional shape that is not approximately rectangular, such as approximately triangular or approximately semicircular, and the planar portions of the tip of the conductor segment 30 and the busbar terminal portion 42a may be superimposed on each other. In any case, at the joint between the tip of the conductor segment 30 and the busbar terminal portion 42a, it is sufficient that the area of ​​the cross-sectional surface of the busbar terminal portion 42a is smaller than the conductor cross-sectional area of ​​the conductor segment 30.

[0046] The main body 41 of the neutral busbar 40 and the conductor segment 30 may have different conductor cross-sectional areas. In this case, it is possible to have a configuration in which the main body 41 of the neutral busbar 40 has a larger conductor cross-sectional area than the conductor segment 30, or a configuration in which the main body 41 of the neutral busbar 40 has a smaller conductor cross-sectional area than the conductor segment 30.
