Abstract

A plurality of core blocks that are arranged into an annular shape are inserted into and fixed to a cylindrical frame, and are disposed inside the frame, a bolt passage member that is produced as a solid body and that has a bolt passage aperture that passes through in a longitudinal direction is fixed by welding to an outer circumferential surface of the frame such that the longitudinal direction thereof is oriented in the axial direction of the frame, and a stator is held on the housing by fastening a bolt that is passed through the bolt passage aperture into a fixing portion that is formed on the housing.

Claims (28)

1. A rotary electric machine comprising:

a housing;

a rotor that is rotatably disposed inside said housing;

a stator that comprises:

a stator core that is configured by arranging a plurality of core blocks into an annular shape, said plurality of core blocks each being prepared by laminating and integrating a predetermined number of magnetic steel plates, and comprising a circular arc-shaped yoke portion, and a tooth portion that protrudes radially inward from an inner circumferential wall surface of said yoke portion; and

coils that are wound onto said tooth portions of each of said plurality of core blocks,

said stator being held on said housing so as to surround said rotor;

a frame that is produced so as to have a cylindrical shape, said plurality of core blocks that are arranged into said annular shape being inserted into and fixed to an internal portion thereof; and

a bolt passage member that is produced as a solid body, that is fixed to an outer circumferential surface of said frame by welding such that a longitudinal direction thereof is oriented in an axial direction of said frame, and that comprises a bolt passage aperture that passes through in said longitudinal direction,

wherein said stator is held on said housing by fastening a bolt that is passed through said bolt passage aperture from a first longitudinal end of said bolt passage member into a fixing portion that is formed on said housing

said bolt passage member is formed so as to protrude slightly beyond the first axial end of said frame; and

a protruding portion is formed so as to extend radially inward from a first axial end portion of said bolt passage member so as to be positioned axially outside said yoke portion.

2. The rotary electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein said bolt passage member is produced using sheet metal.

3. The rotary electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein a mounting surface of said bolt passage member that contacts said outer circumferential surface of said frame is formed so as to have a curved surface that has an identical radius of curvature to said outer circumferential surface of said frame.

4. A rotary electric machine comprising:

a housing;

a rotor that is rotatably disposed inside said housing;

a stator that comprises:

a stator that is configured by arranging a plurality of core blocks into an annular shape, said plurality of core blocks each being prepared by laminating and integrating a predetermined number of magnetic steel plates, and comprising a circular arc-shaped yoke portion, and a tooth portion that protrudes radially inward from an inner circumferential wall surface of said yoke portion; and

coils that are wound onto said tooth portions of each of said plurality of core blocks,

said stator being held on said housing so as to surround said rotor;

a frame that is produced so as to have a cylindrical shape, said plurality of core blocks that are arranged into said annular shape being inserted into and fixed to an internal portion thereof; and

a bolt passage member that is produced as a solid body, that is fixed to an outer circumferential surface of said frame by welding such that a longitudinal direction thereof is oriented in an axial direction of said frame, and that comprises a bolt passage aperture that passes through in said longitudinal direction,

wherein said stator is held on said housing by fastening a bolt that is passed through said bolt passage aperture from a first longitudinal end of said bolt passage member into a fixing portion that is formed on said housing;

a dovetail groove is formed on an outer circumferential surface of said yoke portion so as to have a groove direction oriented in an axial direction;

an interfitting portion is formed so as to protrude from an outer circumferential surface of said bolt passage member; and

said bolt passage member is fixed to said frame by said interfitting portion being fitted into said dovetail groove.

5. The rotary electric machine according to claim 4 , wherein a mounting surface of said bolt passage member that contacts said outer circumferential surface of said frame is formed so as to have a curved surface that has an identical radius of curvature to said outer circumferential surface of said frame.
