Abstract

A rotating electrical machine includes: a rotor core in which a slot passing therethrough is provided; a rotor winding which coil end portion is extended on the axially outer side than the core end face of the rotor core; a U-shaped channel which is arranged on the slot of the rotor core, is touched to come into contact with a bottom portion of the rotor winding, and is axially extended to be projected on the axially outer side than the core end face of the rotor core; a slot cell which insulates the rotor winding and the U-shaped channel from the rotor core; and an interposed piece arranged between the rotor windings at a portion more projected than the core end face of the rotor core. The projected end face of the U-shaped channel is arranged on the axially inner side than the projected end face of the interposed piece.

Claims (31)

1. A rotating electrical machine comprising:

a rotor core including a rotation axis in which a slot passing parallel to the rotation axis therethrough is provided in plural numbers in a circumferential direction;

a rotor winding placed in each slot provided in said rotor core, and having a coil axial end portion that is more projected outwardly from the rotor core and parallel to the rotation axis than a core axial end face of said rotor core;

a U-shaped channel arranged on a slot bottom portion of each slot of said rotor core, contacting a bottom portion of said respective rotor winding, and having an axial end face that is more projected outwardly from the rotor core and parallel to the rotation axis than the core axial end face of said rotor core;

a slot cell placed in each slot of said rotor core for insulating said respective rotor winding and respective U-shaped channel in each slot of said rotor core from said rotor core; and

an interposed piece arranged between coil axial end portions of adjacent rotor windings and having an axial end face that is more projected outwardly from the rotor core and parallel to the rotation axis than the core axial end face of said rotor core, and an interval of each of the coil axial end portions of the adjacent rotor windings is maintained,

wherein the axial end face of each interposed piece projects outwardly further from the rotor core, parallel to the rotation axis, than the axial end face of each U-shaped channel.

2. The rotating electrical machine according to claim 1 ,

wherein each interposed piece is arranged to be extended between respective adjacent U-shaped channels.

3. The rotating electrical machine according to claim 2 ,

wherein a chamfered portion is formed on the axial end face portion of each U-shaped channel, the chamfer being arranged in a direction parallel to the rotation axis.

4. The rotating electrical machine according to claim 2 ,

wherein a chamfered portion is formed on the axial end face portion of each interposed piece, the chamfer being arranged in a direction parallel to the rotation axis.

5. The rotating electrical machine according to claim 4 ,

wherein the axial end face of each U-shaped channel is arranged more inwardly from the rotor core and parallel to the rotation axis than the chamfered portion of each interposed piece.

6. The rotating electrical machine according to claim 2 ,

wherein a chamfered portion is formed on each of said U-shaped channel and each interposed piece, the chamfer being arranged in a direction parallel to the rotation axis.

7. The rotating electrical machine according to claim 6 ,

wherein the axial end face of each U-shaped channel is arranged more inwardly from the rotor core and parallel to the rotation axis than the chamfered portion of each interposed piece.

8. The rotating electrical machine according to claim 2 ,

wherein an adjacent portion of each interposed piece extended between respective adjacent U-shaped channels serves as a block that covers said U-shaped channels.

9. The rotating electrical machine according to claim 1 ,

wherein a chamfered portion is formed on the axial end face portion of each U-shaped channel, the chamfer being arranged in a direction parallel to the rotation axis.

10. The rotating electrical machine according to claim 1 ,

wherein a chamfered portion is formed on the axial end face portion of each interposed piece, the chamfer being arranged in a direction parallel to the rotation axis.

11. The rotating electrical machine according to claim 10 ,

wherein the axial end face of each U-shaped channel is arranged more inwardly from the rotor core and parallel to the rotation axis than the chamfered portion of each interposed piece.

12. The rotating electrical machine according to claim 1 ,

wherein a chamfered portion is formed on each of said U-shaped channel and each interposed piece, the chamfer being arranged in a direction parallel to the rotation axis.

13. The rotating electrical machine according to claim 12 ,

wherein the axial end face of each U-shaped channel is arranged more inwardly from the rotor core and parallel to the rotation axis than the chamfered portion of each interposed piece.
