Abstract

A control device-integrated rotary electric machine that has a light weight and a small radial-direction dimension. A cylindrical member is provided between a stator formed by stacking electromagnetic steel sheets and a frame retaining the stator, such that the cylindrical member is in a press-fitted state against the stator and the frame. The cylindrical member has a flange portion at one end thereof, and the flange portion is fixed by being held between the frame and a heat sink which is a member composing a control device.

Claims (21)

1. A control device-integrated rotary electric machine comprising:

a rotor fixed to a rotor shaft;

a stator formed by stacking electromagnetic steel sheets, and provided so as to be separated from the rotor and surround the rotor;

a stator winding wound on the stator;

a cylindrical member provided in contact with the stator;

a frame provided in contact with the cylindrical member and retaining the stator; and

a control device having a heat sink in contact with an inner side of the frame, and configured to supply power to the stator winding, wherein

the cylindrical member has a flange portion at an end thereof,

the flange portion is held between the frame and the heat sink so as to be fixed in an axial direction, and

the flange portion is formed over an entire circumference at the end of the cylindrical member.

2. The control device-integrated rotary electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein

an inner diameter of the cylindrical member at the end where the flange portion is formed is greater than an inner diameter of a trunk portion of the cylindrical member.

3. The control device-integrated rotary electric machine according to claim 2 , wherein

the cylindrical member has a cutout extending in the axial direction so as to reach both ends of the cylindrical member.

4. The control device-integrated rotary electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein

the cylindrical member has a cutout extending in the axial direction so as to reach both ends of the cylindrical member.

5. The control device-integrated rotary electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein

the frame has a step on the inner circumferential side, and

the flange portion is held between the step of the frame and the heat sink so as to be fixed in the axial direction.

6. The control device-integrated rotary electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein

the flange portion and the heat sink are held press-fitted into the frame.
