A stator core includes a yoke member and a teeth member. The yoke member is in an annular shape. The teeth member includes teeth and connecting portions. The teeth are projected from the yoke member radially inward. The teeth are formed of a steel plate stacked along a circumferential direction. At least one of the connecting portions connects a part of a tip end of one of the teeth in an axial direction with a part of a tip end of an other of the teeth in the axial direction. The one of the teeth and the other of the teeth are adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction.

Abstract:
A control apparatus for a motor-generator includes a stator including multi-phase coils, a rotor, a multi-phase inverter one arm of which includes a switch element and a free-wheeling element, and a power supply connected between a neutral point of the coils and a negative electrode of the inverter. When the switch elements are driven by rectangular wave, the low-side switch element connected to the high-side switch element is subject to PWM switching control while the high-side switch element is off. When a time point, at which the high-side switch element is turned off, is defined as a base point, if α is defined as a time when switching of the low-side switch element starts, and β is defined as a time when the switching ends, β-α is 120 degrees in electrical degree or more, α is more than 0 degrees, and β is less than 180 degrees.

A rotating electrical machine includes a rotor and a magnet unit. The rotating electrical machine also includes a cylindrical stator and a housing. The stator is equipped with a stator winding made up of a plurality of phase windings. The stator is arranged coaxially with the rotor and faces the rotor. The housing has the rotor and the stator disposed therein. The rotor includes a cylindrical magnet retainer to which the magnet unit is secured and an intermediate portion which connects between a rotating shaft of the rotor and the magnet retainer and extends in a radial direction of the rotating shaft. A first region located radially inside an inner peripheral surface of a magnetic circuit component made up of the stator and the rotor is greater in volume than a second region between the inner peripheral surface of the magnetic circuit component and the housing in the radial direction.

A control apparatus of a rotary electric machine includes a rotor; a stator including a multiphase stator winding provided with conductor portions arranged in a circumferential direction thereof. The rotary electric machine is configured of any one of a first configuration having a first inter-conductor member using a magnetic material; a second configuration having a second inter-conductor member using a non-magnetic material; and a third configuration having no inter-conductor member. The control apparatus includes: a drive circuit with switching elements provided for each phase, supplying power to the multiphase stator winding; and a control unit controlling the drive circuit such that a period where a conduction ratio of the switching elements for one phase in the drive circuit is maintained at a constant value is more than or equal to 120 degrees and less than 180 degrees in electrical angle.

In a rotary electric machine, a rotor, and a stator. The stator includes slots provided in a circumferential direction thereof, and stator windings wound in the slots. The stator windings include n groups of three-phase windings, where n is a power of 2. The slots include first slots each accommodating portions of same-group and same-phase windings in the n groups of three-phase windings. The energizing directions of the same-group and same-phase windings are identical to each other. The second slots each accommodate different-group and same-phase windings in the n groups of three-phase windings. The first slots and the second slots are arranged in the stator at predetermined intervals in a circumferential direction of the stator, and the three-phase windings of each group are wound around the stator with regular intervals therebetween.
Abstract:
In an onboard charging apparatus, a plurality of main electric-power storage apparatuses are connected in series to one another. A main electric-power storage apparatus on a lowest potential side of the main electric-power storage apparatuses is a lowest potential electric-power storage apparatus. The lowest potential electric-power storage apparatus has a nominal voltage that is set to 12 V, and supplies electric power to an electrical component mounted to a vehicle. In the onboard charging apparatus, a connecting unit selectively connects, by switching control, the output terminal and any of high potential side terminals of the main electric-power storage apparatuses. A switching control unit controls switching of the connecting unit to switch the high potential side terminal selected as a connection destination of the output terminal among the high potential side terminals of the main electric-power storage apparatuses, based on an output voltage of the output terminal.
Abstract:
A rotating electric machine is equipped with a consequent-pole type rotor that includes a magnetic pole having a permanent magnet buried therein and a soft magnetic material pole that interposes two magnetic poles. The thickness of the permanent magnet and a circumferential width of the soft magnetic material pole have a relationship that prevents a spread of magnetic flux distribution in the circumferential direction within a gap between the soft magnetic material pole and a stator. As a result, a magnetic flux density difference in the circumferential direction is prevented, which enables a reduction of cogging torque based on an effective reduction of low-frequency space order components that originate from components other than a main component.
Abstract:
Each permanent magnet provided in a rotor includes a projection that projects toward a corresponding predetermined portion of the rotor core. An inner peripheral surface of each permanent magnet, which is radially opposed to the corresponding predetermined portion of the rotor core, includes a primary contacting portion and two primary non-contacting portions. The primary contacting portion contacts the corresponding predetermined portion of the rotor core at a circumferential location, which corresponds to the projection. The primary non-contacting portions do not contact the rotor core and are located on two circumferentially opposite sides, respectively, of the primary contacting portion.
Abstract:
A cover is configured into a tubular form and is fitted to a radially outer surface of each of projections of a rotor core and a radially outer surface of each of permanent magnets. A circumferential center portion of the radially outer surface of each projection contacts a radially inner surface of the cover. Circumferential end portions of the radially outer surface of each projection are radially inwardly spaced from the radially inner surface of the cover.
