Abstract

A rotary electric machine system of a combined power system includes a rotary electric machine, a rotary electric machine housing in which the rotary electric machine is accommodated, and a rotation parameter detector that detects a rotation parameter of a rotating shaft constituting the rotary electric machine. The rotating shaft includes a first end part and a second end part, a first bearing is provided between the first end part and the housing, and a second bearing is provided between the second end part and the housing. The first end part includes a protruding distal end that passes through the first bearing and protrudes to an exterior of the housing. The rotation parameter detector is disposed on the protruding distal end.

Claims (22)

1. A combined power system comprising:

a rotary electric machine system including a rotary electric machine, and a rotary electric machine housing in which a rotating shaft of the rotary electric machine is rotatably supported; and

an internal combustion engine including an output shaft configured to rotate integrally with the rotating shaft,

wherein the rotating shaft comprises a first end part and a second end part, a first bearing is provided between the first end part and the rotary electric machine housing, and a second bearing is provided between the second end part and the rotary electric machine housing, thereby the rotating shaft being rotatably supported by the rotary electric machine housing via the first bearing and the second bearing,

the first end part includes a protruding distal end that passes through the first bearing and protrudes to an exterior of the rotary electric machine housing, and

a rotation parameter detector is disposed on the protruding distal end and configured to detect a rotation parameter of the rotating shaft,

wherein the internal combustion engine comprises a gas turbine engine including a compressor wheel and a turbine wheel, and the compressor wheel and the turbine wheel are supported by the output shaft,

wherein the rotating shaft of the rotary electric machine and the output shaft of the gas turbine are integrally coupled,

wherein the first end part of the rotating shaft is located at a first end of the rotating shaft opposite to a second end of the rotating shaft where the output shaft of the gas turbine engine is coupled,

wherein a rotation parameter detector is housed within a radial-direction width of the rotary electric machine housing, and

wherein the rotation parameter detector is located at the first end of the rotating shaft.

2. The combined power system according to claim 1 , further comprising a detector holding member that is detachably attached to the rotary electric machine housing and configured to support the rotation parameter detector,

wherein a signal receiver connector is provided at the detector holding member and configured to electrically connect to each other the rotation parameter detector and a signal receiver configured to receive a signal emitted by the rotation parameter detector.

3. The combined power system according to claim 1 , wherein the rotation parameter detector comprises a resolver including a resolver rotor and a resolver stator, and the resolver rotor is externally fitted on the protruding distal end.

4. The combined power system according to claim 1 , further comprising a terminal casing in which electric terminal portions are accommodated, the electric terminal portions being configured to transmit and receive electrical power between the rotary electric machine and an external device,

wherein the terminal casing is disposed on a side wall of the rotary electric machine housing.

5. The combined power system according to claim 4 , further comprising a measuring device casing provided adjacently to the terminal casing and in which a temperature measuring device configured to measure a temperature of the rotary electric machine is accommodated.

6. The combined power system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the rotary electric machine housing surrounds the rotating shaft radially further outside than the first bearing and includes an annular convex portion that projects out in an axial direction of the rotating shaft,

wherein the protruding distal end extends up to a position surrounded by the annular convex portion, and

wherein the rotary electric machine system further comprises a detector holding member that is detachably attached to an opening end of the annular convex portion and configured to support the rotation parameter detector.

7. The combined power system according to claim 6 , wherein a signal receiver connector is provided at the detector holding member and configured to electrically connect to each other the rotation parameter detector and a signal receiver configured to receive a signal emitted by the rotation parameter detector.
