Description

The present invention relates to a fully-closed electric motor for driving a vehicle.

  Generally, in a railway vehicle such as a train, a driving electric motor is loaded in a carriage disposed under the floor of a vehicle body, and the rotational force of the electric motor is transmitted to wheels via a gear device to run the vehicle.

  Conventionally, an open-type electric motor that circulates outside air in the machine and cools it has been used for this drive motor.In recent years, in order to achieve long-term non-decomposition by reducing noise and eliminating contamination by outside air inside the machine, Adoption of a fully-enclosed motor is being considered.

  The structure of this vehicle drive fully-closed electric motor will be described with reference to FIG. An annular stator core 2 is attached to the inner peripheral portion of a frame 1 having a side plate at one end, and a plurality of grooves are provided on the inner peripheral side of the stator core. The both ends of the stator coil 3 protrude from the stator core 2.

A bearing bracket 4 incorporating a bearing 6 is attached to one end side of the frame 1, and a bearing housing 5 incorporating a bearing 7 is attached to the other end side, and the rotor shaft 8 is instructed to rotate freely by the bearings 6, 7. An annular rotor core 9 is attached to the central portion of the rotor shaft 8, and a rotor bar 10 is attached in a plurality of grooves provided on the outer peripheral side of the rotor core.

A large number of cooling fins 1 a and 1 b are provided on the outer surface of the frame 1, and a number of cooling fins 4 a are also provided on the outer surface of the bearing bracket. The frame 1 is fixedly supported by a carriage (not shown), and the protrusion 8a of the rotor shaft 8 is directly connected to the drive gear side (not shown) by a joint 11.

In this fully-closed drive motor, the stator coil 3 and the rotor bar 10 generate heat during operation, and the temperature of the motor rises. Heat generated in the electric motor is released to the outside air through the surfaces of the frame 1 and the bearing bracket 4 to cool the electric motor. In order to promote this cooling action, heat radiation fins 1a, 1b, 4a are provided.
JP 09-46960 A

However, in the conventional fully-closed drive motor, the outside air does not circulate inside the machine, so the inside of the machine will not be polluted with dust mixed in the outside air. However, there is the following problem, and improvement is desired for practical use. It was rare.

The first problem is a decrease in capacity (output) due to a decrease in cooling capacity. The heat generated in the stator coil 3 and the rotor bar 10 is indirectly discharged to the outside air from the frame 1 and the bracket 4 to be cooled, and the cooling performance is significantly reduced. For this reason, the temperature rise of the motor during operation exceeds the specified value, and a predetermined output cannot be obtained.

In order to keep the temperature rise within the specified value, it is necessary to increase the size of the stator coil 3 and the rotor bar 10 to suppress the generated heat, and the size is inevitably increased. When the motor becomes large, it cannot be loaded (stored) in the carriage.

The second problem is that the temperature rise of the bearing 6 and the bearing 7 becomes excessive. Since the rotor inside the machine cannot be cooled by outside air, the temperature rise of the rotor is increased compared to the prior art, and this heat is transmitted to the bearing via the rotor shaft 8 to raise the temperature of the bearing. Further, since the air in the machine is also heated, this heat is transmitted to the bearing bracket 4 and the bearing bracket 5 to similarly increase the temperature of the bearing.

The bearing 6 and the bearing 7 are lubricated with grease filled in pockets in and around the bearing. As the temperature of the grease increases, the heat deteriorates and the lubricity deteriorates, so it needs to be replaced.

As a fully-enclosed motor, if the temperature rise of the bearing section becomes larger than specified even if it is intended to eliminate internal fouling and extend the disassembly cycle, the grease will deteriorate prematurely and the grease will be replaced by disassembling the motor. It will be necessary to extend the decomposition cycle.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a vehicle-drive fully-closed electric motor that can improve the cooling performance, reduce the size and weight, and extend the decomposition cycle without circulating outside air.

  The above-described problem is that the stator frame has a stator core on the inner peripheral surface of the stator frame, and stator members having bearings built in are attached to both ends of the stator frame, respectively, and both ends of the rotor shaft are indicated by the bearings. It has a rotor core in the center, a heat sink is provided at the end of the rotor core, a circumferential minute gap is formed between the outer peripheral surface of this heat sink and the inner peripheral surface of the stator member, An annular outside air introduction space is formed between the radiator plate and the stator side bearing support member, and the outside air communication space is communicated with the outside space through a plurality of communication ports provided in the stator member. This can be achieved by forming the outside air introduction space on one or both of the driving side and the non-driving side.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a vehicle-driving fully-closed electric motor that can improve the cooling performance, reduce the size and weight, and extend the decomposition cycle without circulating outside air.

(First embodiment)
A vehicle drive fully-closed electric motor according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a vehicle drive fully-closed electric motor according to a first embodiment of the present invention.

A circumferential minute gap is formed between the members 13 and 14, and the bearing bracket 15 and the bearing 6 built in the bearing bracket 16 are disposed at positions outside the radiator plates 19 and 20, respectively. 7, the rotor shaft 8 is supported, and annular outside air introduction spaces 21 and 22 centering on the rotor shaft 8 are formed between the heat sinks 19 and 20 and the bearing support members 15 and 16, and the stator members 15 and 16. A plurality of communication ports 13a, 15a, 14a, and 16a provided in the communication between the outside air introduction spaces and the outside space.

  Due to the operation of the vehicle drive fully-closed electric motor of the present embodiment, the heat generated in the machine is released from the outer peripheral surface of the frame 12 and the cooling fins 12a to the outside space (outside air), and at the same time, the heat generated from the rotor. Is transmitted to the heat radiating plates 19 and 20 via the iron core holding plates 17 and 18 and then released to the outside air introduction spaces 21 and 22. Further, the heat of the heated interior space (inside air) is also released to the outside air introduction spaces 21 and 22 through the radiator plates 19 and 20.

  In the outside air introduction spaces 21 and 22, traveling wind flows when the vehicle travels, and the air in the outside air introduction space is agitated by the rotation of the heat radiating plates 19 and 20. Since it becomes the same temperature, the discharge | release function of the heat | fever in a machine from a heat sink is performed actively.

  Furthermore, since many fins 19a, 19b and 20a, 20b are provided on the inner and outer wall surfaces of the heat radiating plates 19, 20, the transfer of heat in the machine to the outside air is more effectively performed.

  As described above, the cooling of the entire motor is significantly improved as compared with the conventional fully-closed motor, so that the motor can be reduced in size and weight or output can be increased. Further, since the outside air introduction spaces 21 and 22 are provided between the bearing bracket 15 and the bearing housing 16 supporting the bearings 6 and 7 and the interior space, the bearing bracket 15 and the bearing housing 16 are heated by the heat of the inside air. In addition, the heat transmitted from the frame 12 to the bearings 6 and 7 is also cooled and suppressed by the outside air flowing through the communication ports 13a, 15a, 14a, and 16a.

  Therefore, the temperature rise in the bearings 6 and 7 and the vicinity thereof is greatly reduced as compared with the conventional fully-closed electric motor, and the deterioration of the lubricating grease can be prevented, so that the life of the grease can be extended and the electric motor can be disassembled. The period can be lengthened.

A bracket 14 is attached to the other end of the frame 12, and a bearing housing 16 having a built-in bearing 7 is attached to the bracket 14. A number of cooling fins 12 a are provided on the outer peripheral surface of the frame 12. Both ends of the rotor shaft 8 are supported by the bearings 6 and 7, the rotor iron core 9 is attached to the center of the rotor shaft 8, and the iron core holding plates 17 and 18 are attached to both ends of the rotor iron core 9. A plurality of grooves are provided on the outer peripheral side of the rotor core 8 and the rotor bar 10 is accommodated therein. Heat radiating plates 19 and 20 are attached in close contact with the outer sides of the iron core pressing plates 17 and 18 on both sides of the rotor, and a circumferential shape is formed between the outer peripheral portion of each heat radiating plate and the inner peripheral portion of the brackets 13 and 14 on the fixed side. The labyrinth that opposes is formed in the small gap of.

  An outside air introduction space 21 is formed between the heat sink 19 on the driving side, the bearing bracket 15 and the bracket 13, and this outside air introduction space communicates with the outside space through a plurality of communication ports 13a and 15a. Similarly, an outside air introduction space 22 is formed between the heat sink 20 on the counter drive side, the bearing housing 16 and the bracket 14, and this outside air introduction space communicates with the outside space through a plurality of communication ports 14a and 16a. .

  A large number of fins 19a are provided on the outer wall surface of the heat radiating plate 19, and a large number of fins 19b are provided on the inner wall surface.

  The fins 19a and 19b are formed in a shape extending continuously in the circumferential direction (rotating direction) of the heat sink.

The fins 20a and 20b are formed in a shape extending continuously in the circumferential direction (rotation direction) of the heat sink.

  In the vehicle drive fully-closed electric motor according to the first embodiment based on the present invention configured as described above, heat generated in the vehicle during operation is released to the outside air from the surface of the frame 12 and the cooling fins 12a. The heat radiation plates 19 and 20 provided on both side surfaces of the rotor are discharged to the outside air introduction spaces 21 and 22.

  Running air flows through the outside air introduction spaces 21 and 22 as the vehicle travels, and the air in the outside air introduction space is agitated by the rotation of the heat radiating plate, so the outside air always circulates on the surface of the heat radiating plate.

  Further, since the fins 19a, 19b and 20a, 20b are provided on the inner and outer walls of the heat radiating plates 19, 20, the surface area is increased, heat transfer from the inside air to the outside air is more effectively performed, and the cooling performance is improved. To do. The cooling fins 19a and 20a have a shape extending in the rotation direction (circumferential direction), unlike a fan for blowing air, so that no wind noise is generated during rotation and noise generation can be prevented.

  Further, since cold outside air always flows in the outside air introduction spaces 21 and 22 on the rear side of the inside of the bearing bracket 15 and the bearing housing 16, the bearing bracket 15 and the bearing housing 16 are cooled, and a temperature rise in the vicinity of the bearing and the bearing is suppressed. The Further, since heat transmitted from the rotor shaft to the bearing is released to the outside air by the heat radiating plates 19 and 20, heat is hardly transmitted to the bearing.

  During operation of the fully closed electric motor according to the present embodiment, the internal air is blown up to the outer peripheral side by the fan action of the radial duct 23a due to the rotation of the iron core retainer plate 23, and the internal air in the internal space on the driving side is It circulates through the space 25 between the inner peripheries to the non-driving side machine interior space, and further circulates through the vent hole 9a of the rotor core and returns to the radial duct 23a.

  Thus, during operation, the inside air circulates and circulates in the machine through the rotor core outer peripheral space 25. Therefore, the outer periphery of the rotor core where the temperature rise is the largest in the machine is effectively cooled, and at the same time, the whole machine is cooled uniformly, so that local heating (local heat) can be prevented. The cooling performance of the is improved.

  Also in the vehicle drive fully-closed electric motor of the present embodiment, the cooling fins 19a and 20a have a shape extending in the rotation direction (circumferential direction) unlike the fan for blowing air, so that wind noise is generated during rotation.

FIG. 8 is a longitudinal sectional view of a vehicle drive fully-closed electric motor according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 9 is a partial cross-sectional view of FIG. Note that the same structure as that described in FIGS. 1 to 7 is denoted by the same reference numeral and description thereof is omitted.

  In the vehicle drive fully-closed electric motor according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention, an outside air introduction space 22 is formed between the heat sink 20 and the bearing bracket 16. The rotor shaft 8 is supported by the bearing 7, and a collar 29 is fixed to the shaft 8 adjacent to the inner side of the bearing. The side surface and outer peripheral surface of the inner side of the collar 29 are in contact with the outside air introduction space 22, and a large number of fins 29 a are provided radially on the side surface of the collar 29.

  The heat generated in the rotor during operation of the vehicle drive fully-closed electric motor configured as described above is transmitted to the rotor shaft 8 to heat the bearing 7, but the collar 29 fixed on the inner side of the bearing is the rotor 29. Since the heat of the shaft 8 is released to the outside air introduction space and the heat transferred to the bearing side is reduced, the temperature rise of the bearing 7 is further reduced.

  The vehicle drive fully-closed electric motor configured as described above increases the surface area of the collar 29 in contact with the outside air introduction space 22 by a large number of fins 29a provided on the collar 29, and promotes air agitation by the fins 29a during rotation.

Even if the plate and the outside air introduction space are configured only in one of them, the effect of the present invention can be obtained, so it is not particularly limited to providing both.
In addition to heat radiation from the surface of the stator frame, the fully-closed motor for driving the vehicle according to the present invention can actively dissipate heat to the outside air by a heat sink provided on the side of the rotor, thus improving the cooling performance. In addition, the motor can be reduced in size and weight or the capacity can be increased. In addition, an outside air introduction space can be formed inside the machine of the bearing bracket (or housing) that supports the bearing, and the outside air can be circulated in this space, so the bearing and the bearing support portion are cooled to reduce the temperature rise of the bearing portion. I can do it. Furthermore, since the heat transmitted from the rotor shaft to the bearing is released to the outside air introduction space by the heat radiating plate and the collar, the temperature rise of the bearing can be further reduced.
