SOLUTION: In the method for locating the insulation failure of the stator, for example, in locating the insulation failure of the stator 50 having a stator iron core 60, an U-phase winding 71, a V-phase winding 72, and a W-phase winding 73, a specified voltage is applied to the U-phase winding 71, the V-phase winding 72 or the W-phase winding 73 so that mobile antennas 111b, 111c, 112b, and 112c for receiving an electromagnetic wave emitted by a partial discharge are relatively moved circumferentially with respect to the stator 50, in the state that the partial discharge is repeatedly generated at the insulation failure part of the U-phase winding 71, the V-phase winding 72 or the W-phase winding 73. The insulation failure is located on the basis of the mobile antenna signal detected by the mobile antennas 111b, 111c, 112b, and 112c. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain a high torque when a power in the direction opposite to that of the rotational direction of the output shaft of a prime mover is outputted to a driving shaft using the power outputted from the prime mover. SOLUTION: A power output device 10 is provided with an engine 50, a clutch motor 30 connected with a crank shaft 56 thereof, and an assist motor 40 connected with the crank shaft 56 or a driving shaft 22 by a switching device 80. When a vehicle travels backward, the operating characteristics of the engine 50 are taken as the characteristics on the low-torque side instead of those at the time of traveling forward (characteristics of efficiency priority). Thus, the torque Tm larger than and reverse to the engine torque Te is outputted from the assist motor 40. It is thus possible to regenerate power by the clutch motor 30 and output a high torque to the drive shaft 22, thereby moving the vehicle backward.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce maximum load capacity of an assist motor, and also reduce maximum current value of an inverter circuit for driving the assist motor. SOLUTION: A control unit 90 sets a WOT line L2 as a boundary of an overdrive area and an underdrive area, when a coupling condition of an assist motor 40 is an overdrive linking condition (S104). The control unit 90 determines a desired coupling point of a drive shaft, namely an outer rotor shaft 35 from a required output (S106). When the desired operating point is in the underdrive area, the unit selects the WOT line L2 for maximizing a torque of an engine 50 as an operating line of the engine 50 (S116), and marks a switch flag from the overdrive coupling to the underdrive coupling (S118). Thereby, the overdrive coupling is switched to the underdrive coupling, and when the operating point of the drive shaft, namely the outer rotor shaft 35 is in the underdrive area, the WOT line L2 is used as the operating line of the engine 50.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To detect an electrical angle with accuracy and ideally control the angle by impressing a pulse voltage having an arbitrary time interval upon multiphase coils and detecting the variation of the currents flowing to the coils. SOLUTION: A pulse voltage having an arbitrary time interval is impressed upon the multiphase coils U, V, and W of a motor-driven rotary machine 60 and the variation of the currents flowing to the coils U, V, and W caused by the impressed voltage is detected. Thus the detected electrical angle between the rotator and stator of the machine 60 is measured. Namely, the driving condition of the machine 60 is detected in advance and the relative timing after the impression of the pulse voltage is started is decided to a prescribed timing in the pulse voltage impressing duration as the detecting timing of the variation of the currents flowing to the coils U, V, and W in accordance with the driving condition of the machine 60. At the decided detecting timing, current detectors 12 and 14 detect the variation of the currents flowing to the coils U, V, and W and an electrical angle detecting section 40 decides the electrical angle based on the detected variation. In addition, a control section 20 controls the machine 60 based on the electrical angle.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the occurrence of eddy currents on the punched end faces of a stator core formed by laminating blank stator materials upon another, without coating the end faces with insulating films. SOLUTION: A stator core for rotary electric machine is formed, by alternately laminating two kinds of blank stator materials 22 and 32 having different external forms upon another. Since the materials 22 and 32 have different external forms, all punched end faces of the formed stator core 20, such as the outer peripheral surfaces, inner peripheral surfaces, and end faces of tooth sections do not become smooth. Consequently, the occurrence of nonconformities such as efficiency deterioration due to heat generated from the core 20, etc., resulting form eddy currents which may occur, when the punched end faces are smooth can be prevent.
