INSTALLATION METHOD FOR ROTATING ELECTRICAL MACHINE AND INSTALLATION STRUCTURE FOR ROTATING ELECTRICAL MACHINE
An installation method for a rotating electrical machine includes a placement step of placing a leg portion, which has a first surface formed with a first groove portion, on a support member, which has a second surface formed with a second groove portion, a length adjustment step of shortening at least either of a pair of projecting portions of a key member, which includes a narrow portion and a wide portion with a pair of projecting portions projecting to both sides in a width direction from the narrow portion, to be fitted into a wide groove portion having a larger groove width of the first groove portion or the second groove portion, after the placement step, and a fitting step of fitting the key member into a key groove formed by the first groove portion and the second groove portion, after the length adjustment step.
1 . An installation method for a rotating electrical machine that includes a rotor, a stator disposed so as to surround the rotor, and a casing configured to house the rotor and the stator, comprising:
a placement step of placing a leg portion, which is disposed in the casing and has a first surface formed with a first groove portion extending along a first direction intersecting an axial direction of the rotor, on a support member, which has a second surface formed with a second groove portion extending along the first direction, the placement step including placing the leg portion on the support member such that a narrow groove portion having a smaller groove width of the first groove portion or the second groove portion falls within a range in a width direction of a wide groove portion having a larger groove width of the first groove portion or the second groove portion;
a preparation step of preparing a key member which includes a narrow portion to be fitted into the narrow groove portion, and a wide portion having a one-side projecting portion projecting to one side in the width direction from the narrow portion and an another-side projecting portion projecting to another side in the width direction from the narrow portion;
a length adjustment step of shortening at least either of the one-side projecting portion or the another-side projecting portion of the key member to be fitted into the wide groove portion, after the placement step; and
a fitting step of fitting the key member into a key groove formed by the first groove portion and the second groove portion, after the length adjustment step.
2 . The installation method for the rotating electrical machine according to claim 1 ,
wherein a length LW 1 of the wide portion satisfies a condition of 0.95×LW≤LW 1 ≤LW, where a length of the wide groove portion in the width direction is defined as LW and a length of the wide portion in the width direction after the length adjustment step is defined as LW 1 .
3 . The installation method for the rotating electrical machine according to claim 1 ,
wherein a length LN 1 of the narrow portion satisfies a condition of 0.95×LN≤LN 1 ≤LN, where a length of the narrow groove portion in the width direction is defined as LN and a length of the narrow portion of the key member, which is prepared in the preparation step, in the width direction is defined as LN 1 .
4 . The installation method for the rotating electrical machine according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first groove portion has the larger groove width than the second groove portion.
5 . The installation method for the rotating electrical machine according to claim 1 ,
wherein the length adjustment step includes:
a first measurement step of measuring a distance from an end face on the one side in the width direction of the wide groove portion to an end face on the one side in the width direction of the narrow groove portion in the key groove;
a second measurement step of measuring a distance from an end face on the another side in the width direction of the wide groove portion to an end face on the another side in the width direction of the narrow groove portion in the key groove; and
a cutting step of cutting at least either of the one-side projecting portion or the another-side projecting portion of the key member to be shortened according to measurement results of the first measurement step and the second measurement step.
6 . An installation structure for a rotating electrical machine that includes a rotor, a stator disposed so as to surround the rotor, and a casing configured to house the rotor and the stator, comprising:
a leg portion which is disposed in the casing and has a first surface formed with a first groove portion extending along a first direction intersecting an axial direction of the rotor;
a support member which has a second surface formed with a second groove portion extending along the first direction, the support member including the leg portion placed thereon such that a narrow groove portion having a smaller groove width of the first groove portion or the second groove portion falls within a range in a width direction of a wide groove portion having a larger groove width of the first groove portion or the second groove portion; and
a key member which includes a narrow portion fitted into the narrow groove portion and a wide portion fitted into the wide groove portion,
wherein the wide portion of the key member has a one-side projecting portion projecting to one side in the width direction from the narrow portion and an another-side projecting portion projecting to another side in the width direction from the narrow portion, and
wherein at least either of the one-side projecting portion or the another-side projecting portion has a cut mark on a distal end face.
