Rotating electric machine system
A rotating electric machine system is equipped with a rotating electric machine including a rotating shaft and a permanent magnet, and a housing in which the rotating electric machine is accommodated. A bearing is interposed between the housing and the rotating shaft. The bearing is retained by a bearing holder. A pressure applying member is disposed between the bearing holder and the bearing. The pressure applying member applies a pressure to the bearing holder along the axial direction of the rotating shaft.
1 . A rotating electric machine system equipped with a rotating electric machine including a rotating shaft and a permanent magnet, and a housing in which the rotating electric machine is accommodated, the rotating electric machine system comprising:
a bearing interposed between the housing and the rotating shaft, and including an inner ring and an outer ring;
a bearing holder provided in the housing and having a hollow tubular shape, the bearing holder being configured to retain the bearing;
a pressure applying member configured to apply a pressure to the bearing holder along an axial direction of the rotating shaft;
an oil supplying device configured to supply a lubricating oil to the bearing; and
an intermediate member accommodated in an interior of the bearing holder and interposed between the pressure applying member and the bearing in the axial direction;
wherein
the housing includes an oil supply passage in order to supply the lubricating oil to the bearing;
the intermediate member includes a relay hole through which the lubricating oil flows,
the bearing holder includes an oil supply hole at a position facing toward an outer circumferential surface of the bearing, and the oil supply hole places an inner circumferential surface and an outer circumferential surface of the bearing holder in communication with each other; and
the pressure applying member applies a pressure to the bearing via the intermediate member.
2 . The rotating electric machine system according to claim 1 , wherein the pressure applying member applies a load to a side surface of the outer ring that faces toward the axial direction of the rotating shaft, along the axial direction of the rotating shaft.
3 . The rotating electric machine system according to claim 2 , wherein an outer diameter of the bearing and an outer diameter of the pressure applying member are approximately equal.
4 . The rotating electric machine system according to claim 1 , wherein the pressure applying member is an elastic body.
5 . The rotating electric machine system according to claim 4 , further comprising a guide member including a tubular shaped guide portion disposed in an interior of the bearing holder, and an accommodating chamber formed between an inner circumferential surface of the bearing holder and an outer circumferential surface of the tubular shaped guide portion,
wherein the pressure applying member is accommodated in the accommodating chamber.
