Description

  The present invention relates to a vehicle including an electric motor.

Conventionally, for example, first and second rotors provided concentrically around a rotating shaft of an electric motor are provided, and the first and second rotors are provided in accordance with the rotational speed of the electric motor or the rotational magnetic field generated in the stator. An electric motor that controls the relative position of the second rotor in the circumferential direction, that is, the phase difference is known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
In this electric motor, for example, when the phase difference between the first and second rotors is controlled according to the rotational speed of the electric motor, the first and second elements are displaced via a member that is displaced along the radial direction by the action of centrifugal force. The relative position in the circumferential direction of the rotor is changed. For example, when the phase difference between the first and second rotors is controlled in accordance with the speed of the rotating magnetic field generated in the stator, the stator windings are kept in a state where each rotor maintains the rotation speed due to inertia. The relative position in the circumferential direction of the first and second rotors is changed by passing a control current and changing the rotating magnetic field velocity.

By the way, in the electric motor according to the above prior art, for example, when controlling the phase difference between the first and second rotors according to the rotational speed of the electric motor, the centrifugal force according to the operating state of the electric motor, that is, the rotational speed is There is a problem in that the phase difference between the first and second rotors can be controlled only in the operating state, and the phase difference cannot be controlled at an appropriate timing including the stop state of the electric motor. And, when this motor is mounted on a vehicle as a drive source, in the state in which external vibration is likely to act on this motor, the phase difference between the first and second rotors is appropriately set only by the action of centrifugal force. This causes a problem that it is difficult to control. In addition, in this case, since the phase difference is controlled regardless of the fluctuation of the power supply voltage at the power supply to the motor, there arises a problem that, for example, the magnitude relationship between the power supply voltage and the induced voltage of the motor is reversed. There is a fear.
For example, when the phase difference between the first and second rotors is controlled according to the speed of the rotating magnetic field generated in the stator, the rotating magnetic field speed is changed, which complicates the motor control process. Problem arises.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is possible to easily and appropriately vary the induced voltage constant while suppressing the complication of the configuration of the electric motor and the vehicle.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of a vehicle including an electric motor according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, for example, the electric motor 10 according to the present embodiment includes a substantially annular inner circumferential rotor 11 and an outer circumferential surface each having permanent magnets 11a and 12a arranged along the circumferential direction. A rotor (R) 13 including a side rotor 12, a stator 14 having a plurality of stator windings (not shown) for generating a rotating magnetic field for rotating the rotor 13, an inner circumferential rotor 11 and an outer circumferential side A brushless DC motor connected to the rotor 12 and provided with a phase control device (VP) 15 that controls the relative phase between the inner circumferential rotor 11 and the outer circumferential rotor 12 by hydraulic pressure, For example, a motor that is a driving source of a vehicle such as a hybrid vehicle or an electric vehicle, an alternator mounted on various vehicles, and the like are used.

For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the inner circumferential side rotor 11 and the outer circumferential side rotor 12 are arranged such that their rotational axes are coaxial with the rotational axis O of the electric motor 10, and each of the substantially cylindrical rotor cores 21. , 22 and a plurality of inner peripheral side magnet mounting portions 23,..., 23 provided at predetermined intervals in the peripheral direction at the outer peripheral part of the inner peripheral side rotor core 21 and the inner side of the outer peripheral side rotor core 22 in the peripheral direction. A plurality of outer peripheral magnet mounting portions 24,..., 24 provided at predetermined intervals.
A groove 21 a extending in parallel with the rotation axis O is formed on the outer peripheral surface 21 </ b> A of the inner peripheral rotor core 21 between the inner peripheral magnet mounting portions 23, 23 adjacent in the circumferential direction.
Further, a concave groove 22 a extending in parallel with the rotation axis O is formed on the outer peripheral surface 22 A of the outer rotor core 22 between the outer peripheral magnet mounting portions 24, 24 adjacent in the circumferential direction.

Each of the magnet mounting portions 23 and 24 includes, for example, a pair of magnet mounting holes 23a, 23a and 24a, 24a penetrating in parallel with the rotation axis O, and the pair of magnet mounting holes 23a, 23a via a center rib 23b. In addition, the pair of magnet mounting holes 24a and 24a are arranged adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction via the center rib 24b.
Each of the magnet mounting holes 23a and 24a has a cross section with respect to a direction parallel to the rotation axis O, and is formed in a substantially rectangular shape having a substantially circumferential direction as a longitudinal direction and a substantially radial direction as a short direction, and the magnet mounting holes 23a and 24a. Each of the permanent magnets 11a and 12a has a substantially rectangular plate shape extending parallel to the rotation axis O.

  The pair of inner peripheral side permanent magnets 11a, 11a mounted in the pair of magnet mounting holes 23a, 23a are magnetized in the thickness direction (that is, the radial direction of the rotors 11, 12) and have the same magnetization direction. The direction is set. And with respect to the inner peripheral side magnet mounting parts 23 and 23 adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction, each pair of inner peripheral side permanent magnets 11a and 11a mounted in each pair of magnet mounting holes 23a and 23a and 23a and 23a. The inner peripheral side permanent magnets 11b and 11b are set so that their magnetization directions are different from each other. In other words, a pair of inner peripheral side permanent magnets 11b whose outer peripheral side is the south pole are mounted on the inner peripheral side magnet mounting portion 23 where the pair of inner peripheral side permanent magnets 11a and 11a whose outer peripheral side is the north pole are mounted. The inner peripheral magnet mounting portion 23 on which 11b is mounted is adjacent in the circumferential direction via the concave groove 21a.

  Similarly, the pair of outer peripheral side permanent magnets 12a and 12a mounted in the pair of magnet mounting holes 24a and 24a are magnetized in the thickness direction (that is, the radial direction of the rotors 11 and 12) and magnetized to each other. The direction is set to be the same direction. And with respect to the outer peripheral side magnet mounting parts 24, 24 adjacent in the circumferential direction, each pair of outer peripheral side permanent magnets 12a, 12a and outer periphery mounted in each pair of magnet mounting holes 24a, 24a and 24a, 24a. The side permanent magnets 12b and 12b are set so that their magnetization directions are different from each other. In other words, a pair of outer peripheral side permanent magnets 12b, 12b whose outer peripheral side is an S pole are mounted on the outer peripheral side magnet mounting portion 24, which is mounted with a pair of outer peripheral side permanent magnets 12a, 12a whose outer peripheral side is an N pole The outer peripheral side magnet mounting portion 24 thus made is adjacent in the circumferential direction via the concave groove 22a.

Further, the magnet mounting portions 23,..., 23 of the inner circumferential side rotor 11 and the magnet mounting portions 24,..., 24 of the outer circumferential side rotor 12 are further respectively recessed grooves 21a of the inner circumferential side rotor 11. ,..., 21 a and the respective concave grooves 22 a,..., 22 a of the outer rotor 12 are arranged so as to face each other in the radial direction of the rotors 11, 12.
Thereby, according to the relative position of the inner peripheral side rotor 11 and the outer peripheral side rotor 12 around the rotation axis O, the state of the electric motor 10 is changed to the inner periphery of the inner peripheral side rotor 11 with the outer peripheral side being the N pole. The inner permanent magnet 11a and the outer peripheral permanent magnet 12b of the outer rotor 12 whose outer peripheral side is the S pole are in phase, or the inner peripheral permanent magnet of the inner peripheral rotor 11 whose outer peripheral side is the S pole. From the field-weakening state in which the outer peripheral side permanent magnet 12a of the outer peripheral side rotor 12 whose outer peripheral side is N pole is arranged in the same phase, the inner peripheral side rotor 11 whose outer peripheral side is N pole The peripheral permanent magnet 11a and the outer peripheral permanent magnet 12a of the outer peripheral rotor 12 having the N pole on the outer peripheral side are in phase, or the inner peripheral permanent of the inner peripheral rotor 11 having the S pole on the outer peripheral side. Magnet 11b and outer peripheral side permanent magnet 12b of outer peripheral side rotor 12 whose outer peripheral side is an S pole There has been possible to set the appropriate state over the strong magnetic field state to be arranged in the same phase.
In particular, in the weak field state and the strong field state, in the cross section in the direction parallel to the rotation axis O, the long sides of the inner peripheral side permanent magnets 11a and 11b and the long sides of the outer peripheral side permanent magnets 12a and 12b Are set to face each other.

  In addition, the stator 14 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape disposed opposite to the outer peripheral portion of the outer peripheral rotor 12, and is fixed to, for example, a housing (not shown) of a transmission of a vehicle.

  The phase control mechanism 15 is disposed, for example, on the inner peripheral portion of the inner peripheral rotor 11 and rotates at least one of the inner peripheral rotor 11 and the outer peripheral rotor 12 around the rotation axis O by hydraulic drive. Thus, an actuator (not shown) that changes the relative phase between the inner rotor 11 and the outer rotor 12 is provided.

The oil pump (OP) 31 that supplies hydraulic pressure to the phase control mechanism 15 can be driven by using the electric motor 10 as a drive source. For example, the rotating shaft of the oil pump 31 and the rotating shaft O of the rotor 13 of the electric motor 10 are coaxial with each other. It is connected to.
The oil passage 33 that supplies the oil pumped up from the oil pan 32 by the oil pump 31 to the phase control mechanism 15 is provided with a switching valve 35 whose valve opening state is controlled by the control device 34.
The switching valve 35 can supply oil from the oil pump 31 to the phase control mechanism 15, for example, and can discharge oil to the oil pan 32.

  For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the control device 34 increases the predetermined operating characteristic of the oil pump 31, that is, the oil pressure P generated from the oil pump 31 by a predetermined increase as the rotational speed N of the rotation shaft of the oil pump 31 increases. The operation of the phase control mechanism 15 is started with respect to a predetermined rotational speed N1 of the oil pump 31 corresponding to a predetermined hydraulic pressure P1 that enables operation of an actuator provided in the phase control mechanism 15 based on a state characteristic that changes in a trend. A predetermined threshold rotational speed N2 (> N1) corresponding to a predetermined threshold hydraulic pressure P2 (> P1) at the time of operation is set in advance, and the rotational speed sensor 36 for detecting the rotational speed N of the rotating shaft of the oil pump 31 is set. When the detected value is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold rotation speed N2, oil is supplied to the phase control mechanism 15 via the switching valve 35, and the relative rotation between the inner rotor 11 and the outer rotor 12 is relatively increased. Place So as to control the.

  As described above, according to the vehicle including the electric motor 10 according to the present embodiment, hydraulic pressure is applied to the actuator of the phase control mechanism 15 that rotates the inner circumferential rotor 11 or the outer circumferential rotor 12 about the rotation axis O. By enabling the oil pump 31 to be supplied to be driven by the electric motor 10 including the inner circumferential rotor 11 and the outer circumferential rotor 12, for example, it is not necessary to provide a dedicated electric motor for driving the oil pump 31. In other words, the relative position of the inner peripheral side permanent magnet 11a and the outer peripheral side permanent magnet 12a can be efficiently changed by its own driving force.

Moreover, by actively controlling the hydraulic pressure supplied from the oil pump 31 to the phase control mechanism 15 by the switching valve 35, the actuator of the phase control mechanism 15 can be driven efficiently, and the outer peripheral side permanent magnet 12a can The amount of interlinkage magnetic flux in which the field magnetic flux interlinks the stator winding can be actively increased or decreased by the field magnetic flux generated by the inner peripheral permanent magnet 11a.
For example, in the field-enhanced state, the torque constant (that is, torque / phase current) of the electric motor 10 can be set to a relatively high value without reducing current loss during operation of the electric motor 10. Alternatively, the maximum torque value output by the electric motor 10 can be increased without changing the maximum value of the output current of an inverter (not shown) that controls energization of the stator windings, and the operating efficiency of the electric motor 10 can be increased. Can be increased, and a high-efficiency region where the operating efficiency is equal to or higher than a predetermined efficiency can be expanded.

  In addition, the state change between the field strengthening state and the field weakening state due to the field magnetic flux of the inner peripheral side permanent magnet 11a with respect to the field magnetic flux of the outer peripheral side permanent magnet 12a can be set continuously. Can be continuously changed to an appropriate value. As a result, it is possible to continuously change the values of the rotational speed and torque at which the electric motor 10 can be operated, and it is possible to expand the range of the rotational speed and torque that can be operated.

In the above-described embodiment, for example, as in the first modification shown in FIG. 4, in addition to the oil passage 33 that supplies oil to the phase control mechanism 15 of the electric motor 10, the vehicle in which the electric motor 10 is mounted is used. A second oil passage 43 that supplies oil to a valve operating mechanism (VT) 42 that controls the state of each valve provided in the engine body 41 a of the internal combustion engine (E) 41 is branched from the oil passage 33. The second oil valve 43 may be provided with a second switching valve 44 whose valve opening state is controlled by the control device 34.
The valve mechanism 42 is, for example, an intake / exhaust valve operating characteristic variable mechanism that variably controls the opening / closing timings of the intake valve and the exhaust valve, the intake / exhaust valve opening degree, and the like in accordance with the state of the internal combustion engine (E) 41. It is said that.
The second switching valve 44 can supply oil to the valve operating mechanism 42 from, for example, the oil pump 31 and can discharge oil to the oil pan 32.

  According to the first modification, the oil passage 33 that supplies hydraulic pressure from the oil pump 31 to the phase control mechanism 15 and the second oil passage 43 that supplies hydraulic pressure from the oil pump 31 to the valve operating mechanism 42 of the internal combustion engine 41 are provided. Can be controlled independently of each other by the valves 35 and 44, and the hydraulic pressure supplied from the single oil pump 31 prevents the hydraulic circuit from becoming complicated while appropriately controlling the phase control mechanism 15 and The valve mechanism 42 can be driven and controlled.

Further, in the embodiment described above, oil is supplied to the oil passage 33 for supplying oil to the phase control mechanism 15 of the electric motor 10 and the valve mechanism 42 of the internal combustion engine 41 as in the second modification shown in FIG. In addition to the second oil passage 43 to be supplied, oil is supplied to each transmission (T / M) 52 and clutch (CL) 53 provided in the power transmission mechanism 51 of the vehicle on which the electric motor 10 and the internal combustion engine 41 are mounted. The third and fourth oil passages 54 and 55 to be supplied are provided so as to branch from the oil passage 33, and the clutch side switching valve 56 whose valve opening state is controlled by the control device 34 in at least the fourth oil passage 55. May be provided.
Note that the oil supplied to the transmission (T / M) 52 functions as, for example, lubricating oil and is collected in the oil pan 32.

  In the second modification, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, the electric motor (M / G) 10 is used as a driving source for the hybrid vehicle 60 together with the internal combustion engine 41, and the battery (B) 61 is used as a power source, for example, an inverter or the like. The rotation shaft O of the electric motor 10 controlled by a motor control device (INV) 62 including the input shaft R of the transmission 52 connected to the crankshaft Q of the internal combustion engine 41 via the clutch 53 is, for example, mutually A pair of meshing gears, a chain spanned between gears integrally connected to the axes O and R, or spanned between pulleys integrally connected to the axes O and R They are connected by a power transmission mechanism 63 that transmits power by a belt or the like. The driving forces of the electric motor 10 and the internal combustion engine 41 are transmitted to the driving wheels W, W of the vehicle via a differential (D) 64.

  When the driving force is transmitted from the driving wheel W side to the electric motor 10 during deceleration of the hybrid vehicle 60, the electric motor 10 functions as a generator to generate a so-called regenerative braking force, and the kinetic energy of the vehicle body is converted into electric energy ( Recovered as regenerative energy). Further, when the output of the internal combustion engine 41 is transmitted to the electric motor 10 with the clutch 53 set to the connected state, the electric motor 10 functions as a generator and generates generated energy.

  According to this second modification, an oil passage 33 that supplies hydraulic pressure from the oil pump 31 to the phase control mechanism 15 and a second oil passage 43 that supplies hydraulic pressure from the oil pump 31 to the valve operating mechanism 42 of the internal combustion engine 41. In addition, oil can be supplied from the single oil pump 31 to the third and fourth oil passages 54 and 55 that supply hydraulic pressure to the power transmission mechanism 51, and the hydraulic circuit becomes complicated. The phase control mechanism 15, the valve operating mechanism 42, and the clutch 53 can be appropriately controlled independently of each other by the valves 35, 44, and 55 while being prevented.
