Abstract

Abstract A liquid-cooled vehicle generator-motor includes a frame (4) having a liquid passage, a stator core (32) fixedly fitted to the inner periphery of the frame (4), a multi-phase stator winding (1420) accommodated in the plurality of slots (35) of the stator core (32), and a rotor (3) disposed inside the stator core (32). The stator winding (1420) includes a plurality of insulated U-shaped conductor segments (33, 1433) each of which has a pair of legs(1433r, 1433s). Each leg is inserted in a slot from one end of the stator core (32) and paired to another at a portion extending from the other end of the stator.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 150 words
A liquid-cooled vehicle rotary electric machine operable in a motor mode or a generator mode comprising: a frame (4) having an inner periphery and a liquid passage (41); a stator core (32) having an outer periphery fixedly fitted to said inner periphery of said frame (4) and a plurality of slots (35); a multi-phase stator winding (1420) accommodated in said plurality of slots (35); a rotor (3) rotatably supported by said frame (4) and disposed inside said stator core (32) so as to electromagnetically connect said stator core (32); wherein said stator winding (1420) comprises a plurality of U-shaped conductor segments (33, 1433) each of which has a pair of legs (1433r), and each of said legs(1433r) is inserted in a slot from one end of said stator core (32) and connected to be paired to another at a portion extending from the other end of said stator core (32).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 31 words
The liquid-cooled rotary electric machine as claimed in claim 1 having a space factor more than 55 %, wherein each of said U-shaped conductor segments (33, 1433) comprises a flat wire.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 28 words
The liquid-cooled vehicle rotary electric machine as claimed in claim 1, wherein said stator core (32) and said stator winding (1420) are liquid-tightly enclosed by said frame (4).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 36 words
The liquid-cooled rotary electric machine as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of said legs(1433r) inserted in said plurality of slots (35) is closely fitted to one of said plurality of slot via an insulator (1434).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 66 words
The liquid-cooled vehicle rotary electric machine as claimed in claim 1, wherein said rotor (3) has a plurality of different magnetic poles (7, 73) alternately disposed at prescribed intervals in the circumferential direction thereof, and the number of said slots (35) is larger than the product of the number of said magnetic poles (7, 73) and the number of the phases of said stator winding (1420).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 59 words
The liquid-cooled rotary electric machine as claimed in claim 1, wherein said stator winding (1420) has a plurality of coil ends formed of said U-shaped conductor segments (33, 1433) separated from each other, each of said coil ends is covered by and filled with insulating material (300), and said insulating material (300) is closely fitted to said frame (4).
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 31 words
The liquid-cooled rotary electric machine as claimed in claim 1, wherein said stator winding (1420) is supplied with larger current at said motor mode than current generated at said generator mode.
