Description

This invention relates to rotating electrical machines such as electric motors.

In conventional electric motors, for example, the motor-side lead wires drawn from the stator coil are fixed to a resin terminal block via relay terminals and electrically connected to external wiring (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In this type of terminal block, the use of relay terminals prevents pressure that would cause creep from acting on the terminal block, and as a result, loosening due to creep or the like in the terminal block can be prevented.

JP 2016-131067 A

However, the electric motor disclosed in Patent Document 1 requires the preparation of a terminal block that requires an intermediate terminal for connection to external wiring, which increases the number of parts in the terminal block. If the motor side lead wires and external wiring are fixed to the terminal block simply using bolts and nuts without using intermediate terminals, pressure that can cause creeping will be applied to the terminal block, and if creeping occurs in the terminal block, the lead wires will loosen from the terminal block.

The present invention was made in consideration of the above problems, and the object of the present invention is to provide a rotating electric machine that can prevent loosening of the lead wires from the terminal block and can reduce the number of parts.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a rotating electric machine including a rotor having a rotating shaft, a stator having a stator core and a stator coil, a lead wire drawn from the stator coil and having a first terminal, an external wiring drawn from the outside and having a second terminal, a terminal block formed of an insulating material and to which the first terminal and the second terminal are fixed, a terminal connection portion to which the first terminal and the second terminal are electrically connected, and an accommodation space to accommodate the lead wire, wherein the lead wire has a folded line portion that is folded back by elastic deformation in the accommodation space, a coil side wire portion that extends between the folded line portion and the stator coil, and a stator coil that is folded back by elastic deformation in the accommodation space. and a terminal side wire portion extending between the return wire portion and the first terminal, wherein by folding back the lead wire, an acute angle is formed between the axis of the coil side wire portion and the axis of the terminal side wire portion, and the coil side wire portion and the terminal side wire portion overlap when viewed from a specific direction, the coil side wire portion protrudes radially outward from the rotating shaft near the base on the coil end side of the stator coil and is bent further toward the stator, an obtuse angle is formed between the axis of the base on the coil end side of the coil side wire portion and the axis of the portion on the folded back wire portion side, and the first terminal is urged toward the terminal block by receiving a restoring force from the elastic deformation of the lead wire.

In the present invention, the lead wire is folded back in the storage space by elastic deformation, and the first terminal is biased toward the terminal block by the restoring force of the lead wire. Therefore, even if creep occurs in the terminal block, the first terminal is pressed against the terminal block by the restoring force of the lead wire, so loosening of the lead wire relative to the terminal block can be prevented.

Furthermore , the folded wire portion of the lead wire is elastically deformed to a greater extent by folding back compared to the coil side wire portion and the terminal side wire portion, so that a sufficient biasing force to the first terminal can be secured.

In the above rotating electric machine, the lead wire may be configured to be folded back a number of times within the accommodation space.
In this case, since the lead wire is folded back multiple times in the accommodation space, the restoring force can be increased compared to when the lead wire is folded back once, and the biasing force on the first terminal can be increased, so that the lead wire can be more reliably prevented from coming loose from the terminal block.

In the above rotating electric machine, the terminal connection portion may have a bolt and a nut that fix the first terminal and the second terminal to the terminal block.
In this case, the first terminal is pressed against the terminal block by the restoring force of the lead wire, preventing the lead wire from loosening from the terminal block, and the first and second terminals can be fixed to the terminal block with bolts and nuts, eliminating the need for a relay terminal and reducing the number of parts.

In the above rotating electric machine, the first terminal may be integral with the bolt.
In this case, by integrating the first terminal with the bolt, the number of parts of the rotating electric machine can be reduced, which makes it possible to reduce the manufacturing cost of the rotating electric machine and to facilitate the assembly work of the rotating electric machine.

In the above rotating electric machine, the first terminal may be a crimp terminal having a holding portion that holds a tip of the lead wire and a crimping portion that is crimped by the bolt.
In this case, by using a crimp terminal as the first terminal, the manufacturing cost of the rotating electric machine can be reduced.

In the above rotating electric machine, the pressure-bonding portion may be bent with respect to the holding portion.
In this case, since the crimping portion is bent with respect to the holding portion, it is possible to change the connection direction of the external wiring.

The present invention provides a rotating electric machine that can prevent loosening of the lead wires from the terminal block and reduce the number of parts.

(First embodiment)
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An electric motor as a rotating electrical machine according to a first embodiment will now be described with reference to the drawings. The electric motor of this embodiment is a three-phase synchronous electric motor.

As shown in FIG. 1, the electric motor 10 includes a motor body 11 and a terminal block 12 fixed to the motor body 11. The motor body 11 includes a stator 13 and a rotor 14 that rotates inside the stator 13. The stator 13 includes a stator core 15 and a stator coil 16, and coil ends 17 of the stator coil 16 are formed at both ends of the stator core 15. In FIG. 1, only the coil end 17 at one end is shown, and the coil end 17 at the other end is not shown. The rotor 14 includes a rotor core 18 and a rotating shaft 19 that is fixed and passes through the center of the rotor core 18.

As shown in FIG. 1, a first end bracket 20 that covers one coil end 17 is provided at one end of the stator 13, and a second end bracket 21 that covers the other coil end 17 is provided at the other end. The first end bracket 20 and the second end bracket 21 are fixed to the stator 13 by through bolts 22. The first end bracket 20 is provided with a bearing 23, and the first end bracket 20 rotatably supports the rotating shaft 19 via the bearing 23. The second end bracket 21 is provided with a bearing (not shown), and the second end bracket 21 supports the rotating shaft 19 via a bearing not shown.

A shaft hole 24 is formed through the center of the first end bracket 20, and the end of the rotating shaft 19 is inserted into the shaft hole 24 and protrudes from the first end bracket 20 to the outside. The end of the rotating shaft 19 protruding from the first end bracket 20 is the output shaft portion. The axis P of the rotating shaft 19 is approximately horizontal.

In this embodiment, the first end bracket 20 corresponds to a base to which the terminal block 12 is fixed. As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the upper surface of the first end bracket 20 supports the terminal block 12. The upper surface of the first end bracket 20 is formed with a plurality of screw holes 26 into which bolts 25 for fixing the terminal block 12 are screwed. For the sake of convenience, a portion of the terminal block 12 is broken away in Fig. 2.

As shown in Figures 1 and 4, the first end bracket 20 is formed with a motor-side space 27 that penetrates from the top of the first end bracket 20 to the coil end 17. The motor-side space 27 is a space through which the lead wire 30 on the electric motor 10 side, which will be described next, is inserted. The motor-side space 27 is generally rectangular in plan view. As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the first end bracket 20 has a front wall 28 on the front side that faces the motor-side space 27 in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 19, and side walls 29 located on both sides of the motor-side space 27 in the width direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotating shaft 19.

As shown in Figures 2 and 3, multiple lead wires 30 on the electric motor 10 side are drawn out from the coil end 17 on the first end bracket 20 side. The multiple lead wires 30 are power lines for supplying power to the stator coil 16, and are three-phase wiring consisting of a U-phase lead wire 30U, a V-phase lead wire 30V, and a W-phase lead wire 30W. The U-phase lead wire 30U, the V-phase lead wire 30V, and the W-phase lead wire 30W are connected to the terminal block 12. The lead wires 30 include multiple conductors bundled together for each phase, and the bundled conductors are coated with an insulating coating.

The ends of the multiple lead wires 30 are provided with a bolt 31 and a retaining metal fitting 32 that is formed integrally with the bolt 31 and holds the ends of the lead wires 30. The bolt 31 is made of a metal with excellent conductivity (e.g., brass). The retaining metal fitting 32 is also made of a metal with excellent conductivity and corresponds to the first terminal. The retaining metal fitting 32 is a cylindrical metal fitting connected to the head of the bolt 31. The tip of the lead wire 30 is held by the retaining metal fitting 32 by crimping, welding, etc. The axis of the end of the lead wire 30 and the axis of the shaft of the bolt 31 are approximately coaxial. Since the bolt 31 and the retaining metal fitting 32 are formed integrally, it can be said that the first terminal is integrated with the bolt 31.

The bolt 31 and the retaining metal fitting 32 are provided at the ends of the U-phase lead wire 30U, the V-phase lead wire 30V, and the W-phase lead wire 30W. Specifically, the end of the U-phase lead wire 30U is provided with a bolt 31U and a retaining metal fitting 32U, the end of the V-phase lead wire 30V is provided with a bolt 31V and a retaining metal fitting 32V, and the end of the W-phase lead wire 30W is provided with a bolt 31W and a retaining metal fitting 32W.

On the other hand, a plurality of external wirings 33 connected to an external device (e.g., an inverter) are connected to the terminal block 12. The plurality of external wirings 33 are three-phase wirings, namely, U-phase external wiring 33U, V-phase external wiring 33V, and W-phase external wiring 33W. The number of external wirings 33 is the same as the number of lead wires 30. The ends of the plurality of external wirings 33 are each provided with a round crimp terminal 34 as a second terminal. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the end of the U-phase external wiring 33U is provided with a crimp terminal 34U, the end of the V-phase external wiring 33V is provided with a crimp terminal 34V, and the end of the W-phase external wiring 33W is provided with a crimp terminal 34W. A bolt 31 is inserted through the crimp terminal 34 of the external wiring 33, and a nut 35 is fastened to the bolt 31, so that the lead wire 30 and the external wiring 33 are electrically connected. The bolt 31, nut 35, retaining metal fitting 32 and crimp terminal 34 form the terminal connection part.

Next, the terminal block 12 will be described. The terminal block 12 is made of resin, which is an insulating material, and electrically connects the multiple lead wires 30 and the multiple external wiring 33. As shown in FIG. 1, the terminal block 12 of this embodiment is attached to the first end bracket 20 by fastening bolts 25 so as to be located at the top of the electric motor 10. As shown in FIG. 2, the terminal block 12 includes a terminal block main body 41 and a flange portion 42 integrally formed around the terminal block main body 41.

As shown in FIG. 2, the terminal block body 41 has a first side wall portion 43, a second side wall portion 44, a pair of third side wall portions 45, and a top wall portion 46 that rise from the flange portion 42. The first side wall portion 43 is a side wall portion on the output shaft side of the rotating shaft 19, and the second side wall portion 44 is a side wall portion facing the first side wall portion 43. The pair of third side wall portions 45 are side wall portions that connect between the first side wall portion 43 and the second side wall portion 44. The top wall portion 46 is a wall portion that covers the area surrounded by the first side wall portion 43, the second side wall portion 44, and the pair of third side wall portions 45. The first side wall portion 43 has three through holes 47 through which the bolts 31 of the lead wire 30 are inserted. Only one through hole 47 is shown in FIG. 4.

The flange portion 42 is formed to surround the terminal block main body 41. A through hole (not shown) for inserting the bolt 25 is formed near the third side wall portion 45 of the flange portion 42. When the terminal block 12 is fixed to the first end bracket 20, a terminal block side space portion 49 that communicates with the motor side space portion 27 is formed (see Figures 1 and 4). The motor side space portion 27 and the terminal block side space portion 49 correspond to an accommodation space that accommodates the lead wire 30. The accommodation space formed by the motor side space portion 27 and the terminal block side space portion 49 is an enclosed space.

In this embodiment, the head of the bolt 31 of the lead wire 30 abuts against the inner surface of the first side wall 43 of the terminal block 12, and the crimp terminal 34 of the external wiring 33 abuts against the outer surface of the first side wall 43. Then, the bolt 31 and the crimp terminal 34 are fixed to the terminal block 12 by fastening the nut 35, sandwiching the first side wall 43. Therefore, the external wiring 33 extends upward from the first side wall 43. The first side wall 43 receives an axial force due to the fastening of the bolt 31 and the nut 35. The terminal block 12, which is made of resin, may experience creep when subjected to the axial force due to the fastening of the bolt 31 and the nut 35. However, in this embodiment, the lead wire 30 is designed to be less likely to loosen from the terminal block 12 even if creep occurs.

As shown in FIG. 4, the lead wire 30 has a folded wire portion 51 that is folded back between the base on the coil end 17 side and the tip on the bolt 31 side. The lead wire 30 also has a coil side wire portion 52 that extends between the folded wire portion 51 and the stator coil 16, and a terminal side wire portion 53 that extends between the folded wire portion 51 and the first terminal. In FIG. 4, for ease of explanation, the boundaries of each wire portion are shown diagrammatically by dotted lines. Since a part of the lead wire 30 is folded back at the folded wire portion 51, the axis of the coil side wire portion 52 and the axis of the terminal side wire portion 53 form an acute angle, and the coil side wire portion 52 and the terminal side wire portion 53 of the lead wire 30 overlap when viewed from a specific direction (above).

The coil side wire portion 52 protrudes radially outward from the rotating shaft 19 near the base portion on the coil end 17 side and is further bent toward the stator core 15. An obtuse angle is formed between the axis of a base portion 52A of the coil side wire portion 52 on the coil end 17 side and the axis of a portion 52B on the folded-back wire portion 51 side of the coil side wire portion 52. In other words, although the coil side wire portion 52 is bent, it is not folded back like the folded-back wire portion 51. Therefore, the elastic deformation of the coil side wire portion 52 is smaller than that of the folded-back wire portion 51. The terminal side wire portion 53 extends from the folded-back wire portion 51 to the bolt 31 in a substantially straight line, although it is slightly curved.

However, since the folded wire portion 51 is deformed in a manner that includes elastic deformation, a restoring force is generated that attempts to restore the deformation. In addition, since the coil side wire portion 52 is bent, elastic deformation also occurs in the coil side wire portion 52, and a restoring force is generated. The restoring force of the folded wire portion 51 is greater than the restoring force of the coil side wire portion 52, which is not folded but is bent. Since these restoring forces attempt to straighten the lead wire 30, the bolt 31 is subjected to these restoring forces.

The restoring force of the lead wire 30, which is the combination of the folded wire portion 51 and the coil side wire portion 52, can be broken down into a component parallel to the axial direction of the rotating shaft 19 and a component in the radial direction of the rotating shaft 19. Therefore, the component of the restoring force of the lead wire 30 parallel to the axial direction of the rotating shaft 19 is applied to the bolt 31 as a biasing force that presses the bolt 31 against the terminal block 12 in the axial direction of the bolt 31. In other words, the bolt 31 is constantly pressed against the terminal block 12 by the biasing force. Note that the folded wire portion 51 and the coil side wire portion 52 may include plastic deformation in addition to elastic deformation, but most of the deformation is elastic, and plastic deformation does not eliminate the restoring force of the elastic deformation.

Next, the operation of the electric motor 10 of this embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 4, the lead wire 30 has a folded wire portion 51 where it is folded back, and further, the coil side wire portion 52 is bent near the base portion on the coil end 17 side. Therefore, the restoring force generated in the folded wire portion 51 and the coil side wire portion 52 acts as a biasing force on the bolt 31, pressing the bolt 31 against the terminal block 12. Therefore, even if a creep phenomenon occurs in the terminal block 12 due to the fastening of the bolt 31 and the nut 35, the bolt 31 is pressed against the terminal block 12 by the biasing force based on the restoring force of the lead wire 30, and is therefore unlikely to loosen from the terminal block 12.

The electric motor 10 of the present embodiment provides the following advantages.
(1) The lead wire 30 is folded back due to elastic deformation in the accommodation space, and the bolt 31 and the retaining metal fitting 32 are urged toward the terminal block 12 by the restoring force of the lead wire 30. Therefore, even if creep occurs in the terminal block 12, the bolt 31 and the retaining metal fitting 32 are pressed against the terminal block 12 by the restoring force of the lead wire 30, so that the lead wire 30 can be prevented from loosening relative to the terminal block 12.

(2) The lead wire 30 has a folded wire portion 51 that is folded back by elastic deformation in the storage space, a coil side wire portion 52 that extends between the folded wire portion 51 and the stator coil 16, and a terminal side wire portion 53 that extends between the folded wire portion 51 and the first terminal. Therefore, the folded wire portion 51 in the lead wire 30 is elastically deformed to a greater extent by folding back compared to the coil side wire portion 52 and the terminal side wire portion 53, so that a sufficient biasing force can be secured to the bolt 31 and the retaining metal fitting 32.

(3) The bolt 31 and the retaining metal fitting 32 are pressed against the terminal block 12 by the restoring force of the lead wire 30, preventing the lead wire 30 from loosening from the terminal block 12. This allows the first terminal and the crimp terminal 34 to be fixed to the terminal block 12 by the bolt 31 and the nut 35. As a result, there is no need to use an intermediate terminal, and the number of parts can be reduced.

(4) The retaining bracket 32 is integrated with the bolt 31, which reduces the number of parts in the electric motor 10, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the electric motor 10 and simplifying the assembly work of the electric motor 10.

(5) The folded line portion 51 of the lead wire 30 is folded back by elastic deformation in the storage space, while the coil side line portion 52 is bent without being folded back. Therefore, the restoring force of the lead wire 30 including the folded line portion 51 and the coil side line portion 52 is applied to the bolt 31 as a biasing force that presses the bolt 31 and the retaining metal fitting 32 against the terminal block 12 in the axial direction of the bolt 31. As a result, the biasing force on the bolt 31 and the retaining metal fitting 32 can be increased compared to the biasing force of the folded line portion 51 alone.

Second Embodiment
Next, an electric motor according to a second embodiment will be described. This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the configuration of the first end of the lead wire and the terminal block. In this embodiment, the same configuration as in the first embodiment will be referred to and the same reference numerals will be used.

As shown in FIG. 5, the electric motor 60 includes a terminal block 61 that is fixed to the first end bracket 20. The terminal block 61 includes a terminal block main body 62 and a flange portion (not shown) that is integrally formed around the terminal block main body 62.

As shown in FIG. 5, the terminal block body 62 has a first side wall portion 63, a second side wall portion 64, a pair of third side wall portions 65 (only one of which is shown), and a top wall portion 66. The top wall portion 66 has three through holes 67 corresponding to the U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase. A thick base 68 is formed around the through holes 67. The flange portion is fixed with a bolt 25, so that the terminal block 61 is fixed to the upper surface of the first end bracket 20, and a terminal block side space portion 69 that communicates with the motor side space portion 27 is formed. The motor side space portion 27 and the terminal block side space portion 69 correspond to the storage space that stores the lead wire 30. Note that in FIG. 5, only the through hole 67V and the base 68V corresponding to the V-phase are shown.

The tip of the lead wire 30 is provided with a round, unbent crimp terminal 71 as a first terminal. The crimp terminal 71 has a holding portion 73 that holds the tip of the lead wire 30 and a crimping portion 72 that is crimped by a bolt 74. The crimp terminal 71 is fixed to the inner surface of the top wall portion 66 by fastening the bolt 74 and the nut 35. The crimp terminal 34 of the external wiring 33 is fixed to the base 68 by fastening the bolt 74 and the nut 35. Therefore, the external wiring 33 extends horizontally from the top wall portion 66. The lead wire 30 in the storage space is in approximately the same state as in the first embodiment, and the radial component of the rotating shaft 19 based on the restoring force of the lead wire 30 biases the crimp terminal 71 as a biasing force that presses the crimp terminal 71 against the top wall portion 66.

This embodiment has the same effects as the effects (1) to (3) and (5) of the first embodiment. In addition, because the lead wire 30 has a crimp terminal 71, the first terminal can be made less expensive than the first end of the lead wire 30 of the first embodiment.

Third Embodiment
Next, an electric motor according to a third embodiment will be described. This embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the configurations of the first end of the lead wire, the terminal block, and the lead wire. In this embodiment, the same configuration as in the first embodiment will be referred to and the same reference numerals will be used.

As shown in FIG. 6, the electric motor 80 has a terminal block 81 fixed to the first end bracket 20. The terminal block 81 has a terminal block main body 82 and a flange portion 83 integrally formed around the terminal block main body 82.

6, the terminal block main body 82 has a first side wall portion 84, a second side wall portion 85, a pair of third side wall portions 86 (only one of which is shown), and a top wall portion 87. Three through holes 88 corresponding to the U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase are formed in the top wall portion 87. The flange portion 83 is fixed with the bolts 25, so that the terminal block 81 is fixed to the upper surface of the first end bracket 20, and a terminal block side space portion 89 that communicates with the motor side space portion 27 is formed. The motor side space portion 27 and the terminal block side space portion 89 correspond to the accommodation space that accommodates the lead wire 30. Note that only the through hole 88V corresponding to the V-phase is shown in FIG. 6.

The tip of the lead wire 30 is provided with a round crimp terminal 91 as a first terminal. The crimp terminal 91 has a holding portion 92 that holds the tip of the lead wire 30, and a crimping portion 93 that is crimped by a bolt 94. The crimp terminal 91 is a bent terminal in which the holding portion 92 and the crimping portion 93 are bent at approximately 90°. In other words, the crimping portion 93 is bent at approximately 90° with respect to the holding portion 92. The crimp terminal 91 is fixed to the inner surface of the top wall portion 87 by fastening the bolt 94 and the nut 35. In addition, the crimp terminal 34 of the external wiring 33 is fixed to the top wall portion 87 by fastening the bolt 94 and the nut 35. Therefore, the external wiring 33 extends horizontally from the top wall portion 87.

The lead wire 30 in the storage space is stored in a state different from that of the first embodiment. The lead wire 30 has a first folded line portion 95 and a second folded line portion 96 as folded line portions. The lead wire 30 also has a coil side line portion 97 extending between the first folded line portion 95 and the stator coil 16, an intermediate line portion 98 extending between the first folded line portion 95 and the second folded line portion 96, and a terminal side line portion 99 extending from the second folded line portion 96 to the tip. In FIG. 6, for convenience of explanation, the boundaries of each line portion are shown diagrammatically by dotted lines. The lead wire 30 is folded twice so as to be approximately S-shaped as a whole. The axis of the coil side line portion 97 and the axis of the intermediate line portion 98 form an acute angle, and the axis of the intermediate line portion 98 and the axis of the terminal side line portion 99 also form an acute angle. Therefore, the coil side wire portion 97, the intermediate wire portion 98, and the terminal side wire portion 99 of the lead wire 30 overlap each other when viewed from a specific direction (the axial direction of the rotating shaft 19).

The first fold line portion 95 and the second fold line portion 96 generate restoring forces that attempt to restore the deformation, since the deformation includes elastic deformation. These restoring forces attempt to straighten the lead wire 30, so the radial component of the restoring force of the lead wire 30 in the direction of the rotation axis 19 is applied to the crimp terminal 91 as a biasing force that presses the crimp terminal 91 against the top wall portion 87.

This embodiment has the same effects as the effects (1) to (3) of the first embodiment. In addition, the lead wire 30 has two folded line portions, so it is folded twice in the storage space. Therefore, compared to when the lead wire 30 is folded once, the restoring force can be increased, and the biasing force on the crimp terminal 91 as the first terminal is increased. As a result, the lead wire 30 can be more reliably prevented from loosening from the terminal block 81.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the invention. For example, the following modifications may be made:

In the above embodiment, a three-phase synchronous motor is used as an electric motor serving as a rotating electric machine, but this is not intended to limit the type of the rotating electric machine. The rotating electric machine may be, for example, a generator motor, and the electric motor may be, for example, a three-phase induction motor.
In the above embodiment, the lead line is folded back once or twice, but this is not limiting. The lead line may be folded back a plurality of times, i.e., three or more times.
In the above embodiment, the terminal block is configured to seal the housing space, but this is not limiting. For example, the terminal block may be configured so that the housing space communicates with an external space.
In the second embodiment, a crimp terminal that is not a bent terminal is used as the first terminal of the lead wire, but a crimp terminal that is a bent terminal may be used. In this case, a through hole for a bolt may be provided in the first side wall portion so that the crimp terminal is fixed to the first side wall portion instead of the top wall portion.
