Abstract

A rotating electrical machine includes a rotor; a stator having a core annularly arranged facing the outer peripheral surface of the rotor, a coil wound around the core and having a coil end formed protruding from an end surface in the axial direction of the core, and an insulator formed on the end surface in the axial direction of the core and insulating the core and the coil; a bus bar arranged on the outer peripheral side of the coil end of the stator; and a terminal block installed on the outer peripheral side of the bus bar for introducing an electric current from an external power source to the stator, and the insulator has a groove portion in which the bus bar is held, and a terminal block housing portion in which the terminal block is held.

Claims (29)

1. A rotating electrical machine, including:

a rotor;

a stator having a core annularly arranged facing the outer peripheral surface of the rotor, a coil wound around the core and having a coil end formed protruding from an end surface in an axial direction of the core, and an insulator formed on the end surface in the axial direction of the core and insulating the core and the coil;

a bus bar arranged on the outer peripheral side of the coil end of the stator; and

a terminal block installed on the outer peripheral side of the bus bar for introducing an electric current from an external power source to the stator, the terminal block extending in the axial direction with respect to the stator,

wherein the insulator having a groove portion in which the bus bar is housed, and a terminal block housing portion in which the terminal block is housed,

wherein the terminal block extending in the axial direction is bent and extends in a radial direction toward a center of the stator to overlap with the bus bar and has an L shape when viewed from a circumferential direction, and

wherein the terminal block housing portion is arranged on the outer peripheral side of a position where the bus bar is housed.

2. The rotating electrical machine according to claim 1 , wherein the groove portion and the terminal block housing portion are respectively formed integrally with the insulator.

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

the rotating electrical machine has a stator frame including a cylindrical portion having a cylindrical shape and fitted to the outer peripheral side of the stator, and a fixation portion provided at one end of the cylindrical portion for fixing the stator,

the terminal block and the external power source are fixed by a bolt, and

a fastening position of the bolt is on the outer peripheral side of the stator frame, and the bolt is fastened from an outer side in the radial direction.

4. The rotating electrical machine according to claim 3 , wherein

the rotating electrical machine has a water jacket welded to the outer periphery of the stator frame, and

a water path is constituted by the stator frame and the water jacket.

5. The rotating electrical machine according to claim 4 , wherein the terminal block is arranged within a range of the length in the axial direction of a motor structure including the rotor, the stator, and the stator frame.

6. The rotating electrical machine according to claim 3 , wherein the terminal block is arranged within a range of a length in the axial direction of a motor structure including the rotor, the stator, and the stator frame.

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

the rotating electrical machine has a stator frame including a cylindrical portion having a cylindrical shape and fitted to the outer peripheral side of the stator, and a fixation portion provided at one end of the cylindrical portion for fixing the stator,

the terminal block and the external power source are fixed by a bolt, and

a fastening position of the bolt is on the outer peripheral side of the stator frame, and the bolt is fastened from an outer side in the radial direction.

8. The rotating electrical machine according to claim 7 , wherein

the rotating electrical machine has a water jacket welded to the outer periphery of the stator frame, and

a water path is constituted by the stator frame and the water jacket.

9. The rotating electrical machine according to claim 8 , wherein the terminal block is arranged within a range of a length in the axial direction of a motor structure including the rotor, the stator, and the stator frame.

10. The rotating electrical machine according to claim 7 , wherein the terminal block is arranged within a range of the length in the axial direction of a motor structure including the rotor, the stator, and the stator frame.

11. The rotating electrical machine according to claim 1 , wherein the terminal block is a conductor member, and is constituted as a separate member from the bus bar.

12. The rotating electrical machine according to claim 1 , wherein the rotating electrical machine is installed at a position sandwiched between an internal combustion engine and a transmission of a vehicle.
