Abstract

A metal support structural body is provided on the radially outer side of a phase ring for connecting a rotating electric machine armature winding at a stator end. An insulator ensuring an insulation distance to the ground is interposed between the phase ring and the metal support structural body. Thus, long-term reliability improves as compared to a conventional insulation-to-ground structure. Since the insulation distance to the ground is ensured by the insulator, the phase ring and the metal support structural body are configured with an insulation thickness smaller than needed for insulation to the ground, thereby improving cooling performance for the phase ring and the metal support structural body. Occurrence of induced current in the metal support structural body is suppressed, thus allowing application of a simple fastening structure such as metal bolts to a stator frame.

Abstract

Provided is an inspection device for a rotating electric machine, the inspection device including a photographing device, a drive mechanism, a display, and a controller. The photographing device photographs a pattern formed on a surface of a wedge constituting part of an armature. The drive mechanism moves the photographing device with respect to a stator functioning as the armature. The controller detects strain of the wedge by comparing image data of the pattern photographed by the photographing device with reference data of the pattern. In this manner, the inspection device for a rotating electric machine can easily detect the strain of the wedge. Further, the controller estimates loosening of the wedge based on the strain of the wedge, and informs an operator of the rotating electric machine through the display that the loosening of the wedge has occurred.

Abstract

Stacked core sheets forming a stacked core of a rotating electric machine have tooth portions on the inner circumferential side. Axial-direction holes penetrating the stacked core in the axial direction are provided near the tooth bases and near the outer circumferential surface. Resin is injected through tooth base neighbor holes near the tooth bases and core outer circumferential holes near the outer circumferential surface of the stacked core, among the axial-direction holes in the rotating electric machine. Thus, the resin fills gaps near the tooth bases and near the outer circumferential surface of the stacked core, so that the stacked core sheets are bonded to each other, thus obtaining a rotating electric machine having such a stacked core.

Abstract

A dynamic vibration absorber needs to be designed so that the natural frequency of the dynamic vibration absorber alone becomes equal to the natural frequency of a stator. If these natural frequencies greatly deviate from each other, the effect is reduced. Therefore, the natural frequency of the dynamic vibration absorber alone needs to be accurately calculated to make designing. However, in actual, the natural frequency is greatly influenced by the rigidity around the mounting position of a vibration damping target, and thus there is a problem that the natural frequency becomes different from the designed value upon mounting. An object of the present invention is to reduce an influence on the natural frequency of the dynamic vibration absorber alone given by the rigidity around the mounting position, by mounting a plurality of dynamic vibration absorbers to a dynamic vibration absorber mounting member, thereby making the dynamic vibration absorber more effective.

According to a method by a frequency analysis of tap tones at the time when a tightness of a ripple member fixed by an elastic force has been tapped by a hammer or a method of detecting a response at the time when the ripple member has been vibrated, an enough precision cannot be obtained for a tightness estimation. A tapping force is applied to a plurality of positions on the member surface, thereby allowing a plurality of tap tones to be generated. Feature amounts are obtained from the plurality of tap tones. An average feature amount is obtained by averaging the feature amounts. The tightness of the ripple member is estimated from the average feature amount by using a correlation between the tightness of the ripple member and the average feature amount.
