Abstract

A dynamic vibration absorber needs to be designed so that the natural frequency of the dynamic vibration absorber alone becomes equal to the natural frequency of a stator. If these natural frequencies greatly deviate from each other, the effect is reduced. Therefore, the natural frequency of the dynamic vibration absorber alone needs to be accurately calculated to make designing. However, in actual, the natural frequency is greatly influenced by the rigidity around the mounting position of a vibration damping target, and thus there is a problem that the natural frequency becomes different from the designed value upon mounting. An object of the present invention is to reduce an influence on the natural frequency of the dynamic vibration absorber alone given by the rigidity around the mounting position, by mounting a plurality of dynamic vibration absorbers to a dynamic vibration absorber mounting member, thereby making the dynamic vibration absorber more effective.

Claims (28)

1. A rotating electric machine comprising:

a rotor which rotates around an axis together with a rotary shaft;

a stator provided so as to surround an outer circumference of the rotor;

first and second dynamic vibration absorbers suppressing vibration of the stator; and

a single mounting member with which the first and second dynamic vibration absorbers are mounted to the stator, wherein

the single mounting member has both ends engaged with two support rings surrounding a circumference of the stator, and is made from a material stretchable in an axial direction, and

the first and second dynamic vibration absorbers are respectively mounted near each of both ends of the single mounting member.

2. The rotating electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein

the single mounting member is provided so as to stride over a core bolt tightening the stator in the axial direction.

3. The rotating electric machine according to claim 2 , wherein

each of the first and second dynamic vibration absorbers includes an elastic portion and a mass portion and is mounted to the single mounting member so that the elastic portion vibrates in a radial direction of the stator.

4. The rotating electric machine according to claim 2 , wherein

each of the first and second dynamic vibration absorbers includes a mass portion and an elastic portion and is mounted to the single mounting member so that the elastic portion vibrates in a circumferential direction of the stator.

5. The rotating electric machine according to claim 2 , wherein

each of the first and second dynamic vibration absorbers includes a pedestal mounted to the single mounting member and a mass portion and an elastic portion mounted to the pedestal.

6. The rotating electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein

each of the first and second dynamic vibration absorbers includes an elastic portion and a mass portion and is mounted to the single mounting member so that the elastic portion vibrates in a radial direction of the stator.

7. The rotating electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein

each of the first and second dynamic vibration absorbers includes a mass portion and an elastic portion and is mounted to the single mounting member so that the elastic portion vibrates in a circumferential direction of the stator.

8. The rotating electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein

each of the first and second dynamic vibration absorbers includes a pedestal mounted to the single mounting member and a mass portion and an elastic portion mounted to the pedestal.

9. A rotating electric machine comprising:

a rotor which rotates around an axis together with a rotary shaft;

a stator provided so as to surround an outer circumference of the rotor;

a pair of dynamic vibration absorbers suppressing vibration of the stator and arranged along an axial direction parallel to a rotation axis of the rotary shaft; and

a mounting member with which the pair of dynamic vibration absorbers is mounted to the stator, wherein

the mounting member has both ends engaged with two support rings surrounding a circumference of the stator, and is made from a material stretchable in an axial direction, and

each dynamic vibration absorber of the pair of dynamic vibration absorbers includes a pedestal mounted to the mounting member and a mass portion and an elastic portion mounted to the pedestal.
