  However, in the method of constructing the rotor by shrinking and fastening the inner diameter side portion of the rotor core having a cylindrical shape and the outer diameter side portion of the shaft by press-fitting or shrink fitting, the rotor iron core can be rotated at high speed. There is a problem that a gap is generated between the inner diameter side portion of the rotor iron core and the outer diameter side portion of the shaft and the torque transmission performance is impaired at a rotational speed at which the centrifugal force expansion amount exceeds the set allowance. In addition, the method of configuring the rotor by fixing the rotor iron core and the shaft using a concave and convex shape such as a key or a spline with a gap fit can maintain torque transmission at a high speed rotation to some extent. When a gap is generated between the rotor iron core and the shaft, the rotor iron core is decentered with respect to the shaft, and there is a problem that vibration and noise are deteriorated due to rotation imbalance. Furthermore, in the case of an embedded magnet type rotor that is configured by embedding a magnet in a rotor iron core, if a gap is generated between the rotor iron core and the shaft, there is a problem that the heat transfer area is reduced and the heat removal performance is impaired. It was.

  The object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems, maintain torque transmission at high speed rotation, prevent vibration and noise due to rotational imbalance, and maintain the heat removal performance. It is intended to provide a fixed structure.

  The structure for fixing the rotor iron core and the shaft according to the present invention is a structure in which the rotor iron core and the shaft are fixed. The rotor core has a structure in which the key convex portion of the rotor core can be elastically deformed in the radial direction by providing elastic compression in the vicinity of the key convex portion. The key protrusions are fitted into the key grooves of the shaft, and the rotor iron core and the shaft are fixed.

  The present invention provides the rotor core with a key protrusion disposed on the inner diameter side of the rotor core and a hole disposed in the vicinity of the key protrusion so that the key protrusion of the rotor core is in the radial direction. With a structure that can be elastically deformed, with the elastic compression applied in the vicinity of the key convex portion in advance, the key convex portion of the rotor iron core is fitted into the key groove of the shaft, and the rotor iron core and the shaft are fixed. As a result, it is possible to maintain torque transmission during high-speed rotation, prevent vibration and noise due to rotational imbalance, and maintain heat removal.

  In addition, as a suitable example of the structure for fixing the rotor iron core and the shaft according to the present invention, there are two holes corresponding to the base part of the key convex part. With this configuration, the stress can be absorbed suitably at the root of the key convex portion where stress is concentrated, and the structure in which the key convex portion of the rotor core can be elastically deformed in the radial direction is more preferably formed. be able to.

  In addition, as a preferred example of the structure for fixing the rotor iron core and the shaft according to the present invention, three or more structures having key protrusions and holes are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the rotor iron core. There is. By comprising in this way, a shaft can be fixed with respect to a rotor iron core in the stable state, the eccentricity with respect to the shaft of a rotor iron core can be prevented, and an imbalance does not arise.

  Furthermore, as a suitable example of the structure for fixing the rotor iron core and the shaft according to the present invention, the elastic compressive deformation amount at the tip of the key convex portion may be set larger than the expected centrifugal force expansion amount. With this configuration, even if centrifugal force expansion occurs in the rotor iron core, no gap is generated between the tip of the key convex portion and the bottom of the key groove of the shaft. Eccentricity can be prevented and imbalance does not occur. Furthermore, the tip of the key projection and the bottom of the key groove are always in contact with each other, so that a heat transfer surface is ensured and heat removal is maintained. On the other hand, this does not deteriorate the output performance.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a view for explaining an example of a structure for fixing a rotor core and a shaft according to the present invention. In the example shown in FIG. 1, 1 is a shaft, 2 is a rotor iron core, 3 is a key projection, 4 is a keyway, and 5 is a hole. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the rotor iron core 2 is provided with a key convex portion 3 disposed on the inner diameter side of the rotor core 2 and a hole portion 5 disposed in the vicinity of the key convex portion 3, so that the rotor iron core is provided. The key convex portion 3 of the rotor iron core 2 is formed in the key groove of the shaft 1 in a state where the key convex portion 3 of the core 2 is elastically deformable in the radial direction and elastic compression is applied to the vicinity of the key convex portion 3 in advance. 4, the rotor core 2 and the shaft 1 are fixed to form a rotor.

  In the example shown in FIG. 1, two hole portions 5 are provided corresponding to two root portions 11 on both side surfaces of the key convex portion 3. Each hole 5 has a racetrack shape, and is configured such that in the rotor core 2, the parallel straight portions of the holes 5 are positioned corresponding to the root portions 11. In this way, by arranging the hole portions 5 corresponding to the respective root portions 11, the stress can be suitably absorbed by the root portions 11 of the key convex portions 3 where the stress is concentrated. As a result, it is possible to easily apply elastic compression in the vicinity of the key convex portion 3 in advance, and it is possible to largely determine the size of the elastic compression to be applied.

  Moreover, the structure which consists of the key convex part 3 and the hole part 5 is arrange | positioned at three or more places (here three places) at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the rotor iron core 2. As shown in FIG. By comprising in this way, the axis | shaft 1 can be fixed to the rotor core 2 in the stable state. As a result, the eccentricity of the rotor core 2 with respect to the shaft 1 can be prevented and unbalance is eliminated.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2 as an example, the amount of elastic compression deformation A at the tip of the key protrusion 3 is larger than the expected expansion amount B due to centrifugal force when elastic compression is applied in the vicinity of the key protrusion 3 in advance. Is set larger. With this configuration, even if centrifugal force expansion occurs in the rotor iron core 2, no gap is generated between the tip of the key convex portion 3 and the bottom of the key groove 4 of the shaft 1. The eccentricity of the core 2 with respect to the shaft 1 can be prevented and no imbalance occurs. Furthermore, since the tip of the key convex portion 3 and the bottom of the key groove 1 are always in contact with each other, a heat transfer surface is ensured and heat removal performance is maintained. On the other hand, this does not deteriorate the output performance.

  In the example shown in FIG. 2, as an example, when the centrifugal force expansion B of the inner diameter of the rotor iron core 2 is 20 μm, if the radial interference A of the key convex portion 3 is more than that, all rotations Looseness does not occur in numbers. In this respect, it was confirmed by analysis that there is a design solution even if the radial displacement of the key convex portion 3 is 20 μm or more.

  According to the fixing structure of the rotor iron core and the shaft of the present invention described above, it is possible to provide a rotor excellent in heat removal performance that does not cause unbalance due to eccentricity even during high-speed rotation. In addition, it is possible to manufacture the rotor by an assembling method excellent in productivity such as press fitting without using the shrink-fit fastening, and the cost can be reduced.

  In addition, as for the structure of the rotor iron core 2, for example, a structure provided with a magnet, and the material of the rotor iron core 2, for example, an electromagnetic steel sheet, any of the structures and materials conventionally used can be used.
