Description

  The present invention relates to an electric motor, and more particularly to an electric motor in which a ventilation fan is provided in the body.

  For example, a drive device for a railway vehicle includes a main motor installed in a carriage near a wheel, and a control device that drives these main motors. The output shaft of the main motor is connected to the wheel via a gear train and drives the wheel.

  As such an electric motor, there is provided a fan that is provided with a ventilation fan disposed in the body, and that is configured to cool a rotor, a stator, a bearing, and the like disposed in the body by the ventilation fan. ing.

  The electric motor includes a cylindrical stator frame that is open at both ends, and a stator that is fitted to the inner periphery of the stator frame. Bearing boxes are concentrically attached to both ends of the stator frame, and bearings are attached to housing portions of the bearing boxes. A rotor is disposed inside the stator, and both end portions of the rotating shaft fixed to the rotor are rotatably supported by bearings.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-356005 JP 2003-274609 A JP 2008-35584 A

Conventional motors have the following problems.
When the wind guide plate is fixed to the stator frame, not only the cost of goods due to the increase in the number of parts and the increase in manufacturing lead time due to the increase in assembly man-hours, but also processing for mounting the wind guide plate on the stator frame Therefore, the manufacturing cost of the electric motor becomes expensive.

  Since the air guide plate is associated with each of the ventilation fan and the stator frame, the degree of freedom in design is limited. For example, when the amount of cooling air is increased / decreased using the same stator frame, it is necessary to attach not only a ventilation fan but also a different air guide plate. Further, due to the configuration of the electric motor, a stator winding is disposed in the vicinity of the air guide plate. It is necessary to provide an insulation space distance between the stator winding and the air guide plate, which increases the size of the rotating electrical machine.

  When the electric motor is mounted on a vehicle or the like, external vibration is large, and external vibration is naturally applied to the fixing portion of the air guide plate. At this time, when the wind guide plate is fastened with bolts or the like, there is a possibility that a failure of the rotating electric machine is induced due to breakage of the fixing portion. Moreover, as a countermeasure, increasing the rigidity of the fixed part increases the size and mass of the rotating electrical machine.

  The correlation between the air guide plate and the ventilation fan affects the cooling characteristics and noise characteristics. That is, if an error occurs in the correlation, the cooling characteristics and noise characteristics are deteriorated. As countermeasures, if the processing accuracy of the stator frame, the ventilation fan, and the air guide plate is improved, the manufacturing lead time increases and the manufacturing cost increases.

  If the outer diameter dimension of the side plate of the ventilation fan is approximated to the inner periphery of the stator frame, the difference between the blade outer diameter and the side plate outer diameter of the ventilation fan is increased, and the rigidity of the side plate is reduced. As a countermeasure, if the thickness of the side plate is increased, the mass of the ventilation fan increases, resulting in an increase in the mass of the rotating electrical machine.

  A stator winding is adjacent to the side plate. Since the side plate is a rotating body, it is necessary to set more than the normal insulation space distance between fixed objects. This increases the size of the rotating electrical machine. Since the ventilation fan and the stator frame are related, there is a limit on the degree of freedom in design. For example, the characteristics of the ventilation fan depend on the outer diameter of the blade. When a different stator, that is, a rotating electrical machine with a different specification is designed while maintaining the characteristics of a predetermined ventilation fan, it is necessary to newly design a stator frame. The stator frame is related not only to the stator but also to the bearing box, and the investment of the design time, type, jigs and tools is large, and the design load and manufacturing lead time and the manufacturing cost are increased.

  When the air guide plate is formed integrally with the bearing box and is opposed to the end wall of the bearing box with a gap, the following problems occur. The bearing box is generally often made of cast iron. In this case, since the air guide part having an inner peripheral convex shape is provided, the mold cannot be pulled out from one direction during modeling. Therefore, it is common to form a bearing box using a core.

  However, when the bearing box is large, the core is also greatly increased in cost related to modeling. In addition, since the core is manufactured and arranged, the manufacturing lead time is increased, which causes the productivity to deteriorate. When a core is used, a modeling error occurs due to an arrangement error. When machining is used to suppress this, lead time such as material increase due to machining allowance and machining time is required.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide an electric motor capable of improving characteristics while reducing the manufacturing cost, reducing the size and weight, and extending the life.

An electric motor according to an aspect of the present invention includes a stator frame, a stator fixed in the stator, and a pair of bearing boxes that are respectively fixed to both ends of the stator frame and that each hold a bearing. And a rotor having a rotating shaft whose both ends are rotatably supported by the bearing, a rotor core attached to the rotating shaft and positioned on the inner peripheral side of the stator, one bearing and the rotor A ventilation fan attached to the rotating shaft between the iron core and rotatable integrally with the rotating shaft;
The ventilation fan is a disk-shaped substrate fixed to the rotating shaft, a plurality of blades provided radially on the substrate, and is fixed to the extending end of the blade and is opposed to the substrate with a gap. An annular side plate, and the one bearing box extends from the stator frame in the direction of the rotation shaft and has an inner peripheral edge facing the outer peripheral edge of the side plate of the ventilation fan. An annular flange portion that forms a portion, an annular end wall that holds the bearing at the center, an annular coupling portion that extends from the outer peripheral edge of the end wall to the inner peripheral edge of the flange portion, and the ventilation fan A plurality of ventilation holes positioned radially outward.

  According to the aspect of the present invention, it is possible to provide an electric motor capable of improving the characteristics while reducing the manufacturing cost, reducing the size and weight, and extending the life.

Hereinafter, an electric motor according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a side view illustrating a partially broken electric motor according to the first embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 1, an electric motor 50 includes, for example, a cylindrical stator frame 1 that is open at both ends. A stator core 2 made of an electromagnetic steel plate is arranged around a stator winding 1 on the inner periphery of the stator frame 1. A stator 4 around which 3 is wound is fitted. The coil ends of the stator winding 3 protrude in the axial direction from both end faces of the stator core 2. First and second bearing boxes 5 and 6 are concentrically fixed to both end portions of the stator frame 1, and together with the stator frame 1 constitute a motor case. A first bearing 7 and a second bearing 8 are held at the central portions of the first and second bearing boxes 5 and 6, respectively.

  The rotor 9 is configured by fitting a rotating shaft 11 in the center of a cylindrical rotor core 10, and both end portions of the rotating shaft 11 are rotatably supported by first and second bearings 7 and 8. ing. Thereby, the rotating shaft 11 extends coaxially in the case. The drive side end 11a of the rotating shaft 11 extends outside the machine, and a joint for connecting the drive gear device is attached to this portion. The rotor core 10 is coaxially arranged inside the stator 4, and the outer peripheral surface thereof is opposed to the inner peripheral surface of the stator core 2 with a gap G <b> 1.

The rotor core 10 is configured by laminating a plurality of annular metal plates made of a magnetic material, for example, a silicon steel plate. The rotor core 10 is supported by a pair of core pressers 14 a and 14 b attached to the rotary shaft 11 so as to be sandwiched from both side surfaces in the axial direction. A plurality of air holes 16 penetrating in the axial direction of the rotor core 10 are formed in the inner peripheral portion of the rotor core 10 and the iron core retainers 14a and 14b.
By energizing the stator winding 3, the rotor core 10 is guided and rotated, and the rotating shaft 11 is rotated integrally with the rotor core 10.

  A ventilation fan 13 is arranged in the body, that is, in the case. The ventilation fan 13 is coaxially fixed to the rotary shaft 11 between the first bearing 7 and the rotor core 10, and is rotatable integrally with the rotary shaft 11. The ventilation fan 13 is provided on the surface of the substrate on the rotor core 10 side of the substrate fixed to the rotating shaft 11 and curved along the inner surface of the first bearing housing 5, and the rotating shaft 11. A plurality of blades 13b provided radially and an annular side plate 13c fixed to the extending end of the blade and opposed to the substrate 13a with a gap therebetween are integrally formed.

  The first bearing box 5 includes an annular end wall 5a in which the first bearing 7 is embedded in the central portion, an annular connecting portion 5b extending from the outer peripheral edge of the end wall, and a radially outward extending from the connecting portion. It has an annular flange portion 5c that is taken out and is integrally molded. The flange portion 5c has an outer diameter larger than that of the stator frame 1 and an inner diameter smaller than that of the stator frame. The outer peripheral portion of the flange portion 5 c is bolted to one end of the stator frame 1, is coaxially positioned with the stator frame and the rotation shaft 11, and is disposed orthogonal to the rotation shaft 11. The flange portion 5c extends from the stator frame 1 toward the rotating shaft 11, and the inner peripheral edge thereof faces the outer peripheral edge of the side plate 13c of the ventilation fan 13 with a gap G2. Thereby, the flange portion 5 c forms an air guide portion with respect to the ventilation fan 13.

  The end wall 5 a is formed to have a smaller diameter than the stator frame 1, and here is formed to have an outer diameter substantially equal to the inner diameter of the flange portion 5 c and is disposed coaxially with the rotating shaft 11. The connecting portion 5b is formed in a cylindrical shape extending coaxially with the rotating shaft 11, and has an inner diameter that is equal to the inner diameter of the flange portion 5c. The connecting portion 5b extends from the inner peripheral edge of the flange portion 5c to the outer peripheral edge of the end wall 5a.

  A plurality of ventilation holes 18 are formed in the connecting portion 5b, and are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the connecting portion. These ventilation holes 18 are located radially outward of the ventilation fan 13.

  The second bearing box 6 is formed in a disk shape, and its outer peripheral portion is fitted to the other end of the stator frame 1. The second bearing box 6 has a second bearing 8 embedded in the center thereof and is arranged coaxially with the rotary shaft 11. A plurality of intake holes 20 are formed in the second bearing box 6 and are located outside the second bearing 8.

  According to the electric motor 50 configured as described above, when the rotor 9 and the rotating shaft 11 rotate during operation, the ventilation fan 13 rotates integrally with the rotating shaft. When the ventilation fan 13 rotates, the outside air flows into the airframe from the intake hole 20 provided in the second bearing box 6 by the discharge action of the blade 13b. The outside air that flows in, that is, the cooling air, passes through the gap G1 between the stator core 2 and the rotor core 10 and the air holes 16 of the rotor 9, and cools the stator 4 and the rotor 9. Further, the cooling air passes between the substrate 13 a and the side plate 13 c of the ventilation fan 13 and is exhausted out of the machine through the ventilation holes 18. The electric motor 50 is cooled by this ventilation.

  According to the motor 50 having the individuality, since the air guide portion is formed by the flange portion 5c of the first bearing housing 5, it is not necessary to fix the independent air guide plate to the stator frame. This eliminates the need for an air guide plate and its fixture, reduces the number of parts, and eliminates the need for related processing and assembly, thereby reducing manufacturing lead time and manufacturing costs. .

  Since the relevance between the stator frame 1 and the ventilation fan 13 can be separated, the stator frame 1 can be designed freely, and different stators can be easily used. Therefore, the application range of the electric motor can be expanded.

  The distance between the stator winding 3 and the first bearing box 5 can be shortened, and the electric motor can be miniaturized. Even when external vibration is applied to the electric motor 50, since there is no independent air guide plate, the vibration resistance performance of the electric motor is improved, and a long life can be achieved while realizing a reduction in size and weight. The wind guide portion of the first bearing housing 5 can be processed simultaneously with the connecting portion 5b and the end wall 5a of the bearing housing 5, and the concentricity of the wind guide portion can be easily secured. Therefore, the assembly accuracy between the air guide section and the ventilation fan 13 is improved, the performance of the ventilation fan 13 can be improved and maintained, and the cooling characteristics and noise characteristics are improved.

  The diameter and thickness of the side plate 13c of the ventilation fan 13 can be reduced, the ventilation fan 13 can be reduced in size and weight, and the motor can be reduced in size and weight, and the energy saving and load resistance of the peripheral system can be reduced. it can. Since the reduction in the diameter of the ventilation fan 13 also leads to a reduction in centrifugal force of the rotating body, it becomes possible to stabilize the performance of the motor by improving the balance of the rotating body and to expand the application by increasing the speed.

  When the first bearing box 5 is made of cast iron, the mold can be removed in one direction except for the ventilation holes 18, so that the core can be eliminated, and the production lead time and the production cost can be reduced. Further, in the case of this configuration, the outer diameter of the bearing box is reduced, and inevitably, reduction in size and weight can be achieved. However, although the outer diameter of the bearing box is small, the gap between the ventilation fan 13 and the blade 13b is large, so that noise can be reduced.

  As described above, it is possible to provide an electric motor capable of improving performance while realizing reduction in manufacturing cost, size reduction, and weight reduction. In addition, by improving the cooling performance and vibration resistance, it is possible to extend the life of the motor and improve the environment by reducing noise.

FIG. 4 is a side view showing a partially broken electric motor according to the fourth embodiment.

  According to the present embodiment, the connecting portion 5 b of the first bearing housing 5 is formed in a tapered truncated cone shape toward the end wall 5 a and extends while being inclined with respect to the rotating shaft 11. Ventilation hole 18 is formed in connecting part 5b. As in the first embodiment, the ventilation fan 13 is fixed to the rotating shaft 11 of the rotor 9 and can rotate integrally with the rotor.

Next explained is an electric motor according to the tenth embodiment of the invention. Note that in the tenth embodiment, identical or similar parts to those in the tenth embodiment described above are denoted by the same reference numerals, and duplicate descriptions are partially omitted.
FIG. 10 is a side view illustrating a partially broken electric motor according to the tenth embodiment.

  According to the present embodiment, the annular adapter 32 is fixed to one end of the stator frame 1 and is positioned coaxially with the rotary shaft 11. The adapter 32 extends from the stator frame 1 toward the rotating shaft 11 and along the radial direction of the fixed frame. The inner peripheral edge of the adapter 32 is opposed to the outer peripheral edge of the side plate 13c of the ventilation fan 13 with a gap G2. Thereby, the adapter 32 constitutes a wind guide plate for the ventilation fan 13. The adapter 32 is made of, for example, an insulator. The flange portion 5 c of the first bearing box 5 is fixed to the stator frame 1 with the adapter 32 interposed therebetween. The outer peripheral portion of the adapter 32 is fixed in a state of being sandwiched between one end of the stator frame 1 and the flange portion 5 c of the first bearing box 5.

  According to the electric motor 50 having this configuration, the same operations and effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained. Further, the bearing box 39 can be further reduced in size and weight. The bearing box can be reduced in size with respect to the ventilation fan 13, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. By configuring the adapter 32 with an insulator, conduction with the stator winding 3 can be prevented, and the insulation space distance can be further shortened.

  By performing insulation between the stator frame 1 and the first bearing box by the adapter 32, the stator-rotor circuit of the electric motor can be shut off, and the occurrence of electrolytic corrosion can be prevented. As a result, the life of the motor can be extended, and it is not necessary to use an insulating bearing, so that the manufacturing lead time can be shortened and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
