Abstract

Obtain a rotary electric machine in which attachment of a sensor stator to a case having a cylindrical shape is not required, and a stator is inserted to the case having a cylindrical shape, whereby the sensor stator can be easily arranged at the inside of the case having a cylindrical shape. The rotary electric machine includes a rotor and a sensor rotor, which are maintained to a rotary shaft and are arranged in a shaft direction of the rotary shaft; a stator which is faced to the rotor and is arranged at the inside of a case having a cylindrical shape; and a sensor stator which is supported to sensor supporting components which are provided at end portions in a shaft direction of the stator, and is faced to the sensor rotor and is arranged.

Claims (20)

1. A rotary electric machine comprising:

a rotor and a sensor rotor, which are maintained to a rotary shaft and are arranged in a shaft direction of the rotary shaft;

a stator which is faced to the rotor and is arranged at the inside of a case having a cylindrical shape; and

a sensor stator connected to an end portion of the stator by sensor supporting components disposed on end portions in a shaft direction of the stator.

2. A rotary electric machine as recited in claim 1 , wherein the sensor stator is maintained by the sensor maintaining component, which is connected to the sensor supporting components, and is supported to the sensor supporting components.

3. A rotary electric machine as recited in claim 1 , wherein the sensor stator and the sensor supporting components are fixed by rivets.

4. A rotary electric machine as recited in claim 2 , wherein the sensor maintaining component and the sensor supporting components are fixed by rivets.

5. A rotary electric machine as recited in claim 2 , wherein a connecting portion of the sensor maintaining component and the sensor supporting components are molded by using a resin material, and the connecting portion is connected by an ultrasonic welding pin.

6. A rotary electric machine as recited in claim 1 , wherein a connecting portion of the sensor stator and the sensor supporting components are molded by using a resin material, and the connecting portion is connected by an ultrasonic welding pin.

7. A rotary electric machine as recited in claim 2 , wherein a hole is provided at the sensor maintaining component.

8. A rotary electric machine as recited in claim 2 , further comprising a signal line maintaining component, which is provided at the sensor maintaining component, by which a wiring of the sensor stator is maintained to the sensor maintaining component.

9. A rotary electric machine as recited in claim 1 , further comprising a signal line maintaining component, which is provided at the sensor stator, by which a wiring of the sensor stator is maintained to the sensor stator.

10. A rotary electric machine as recited in claim 2 , wherein an end portion of the sensor maintaining component, which is connected to the sensor supporting components, is bent in a shaft direction of the rotary shaft.

11. A rotary electric machine as recited in claim 1 , wherein the sensor supporting components, to which the sensor stator is attached, are bent in a shaft direction of the rotary shaft.

12. A rotary electric machine as recited in claim 1 , wherein the sensor supporting components are made of a non-magnetic material.

13. A rotary electric machine as recited in claim 2 , wherein at least one side of the sensor supporting components and the sensor maintaining component is made of a non- magnetic material.

14. A rotary electric machine as recited in claim 1 , wherein a bobbin, to which a coil of the stator is wound, is mounted to a stator core of the stator, and the sensor supporting components are maintained between the stator core and the bobbin.

15. A rotary electric machine as recited in claim 14 , wherein the bobbin and the sensor supporting components are inserted and molded.

16. A rotary electric machine as recited in claim 1 , wherein a length of the sensor stator in a rotary shaft direction is different from a length of the sensor rotor in the rotary shaft direction.

17. A rotary electric machine as recited in claim 1 , wherein the sensor stator is fixed to the case via the stator.
