Magnetic pole portions are formed at equal intervals in the circumferential direction on the inner peripheral side of the stator core 51, and slot portions are formed between adjacent magnetic pole portions. Each of the thin plates has a ring-shaped main body portion and a magnetic pole portion protruding inward from the main body portion, and is formed by press punching a thin steel plate as described above. When the insulating paper 53 is inserted into the slot portion and the stator winding 52 is further inserted, the stator winding 52 is wound around the magnetic pole portion. The fixed coil 52 is provided with U, V, and W phase connection terminals 57 for supplying power to the stator winding 52.
In the figure, 55 is a neutral point of the stator coil 52, and 54 is a wedge.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the stator 5 is sandwiched and fixed between a front bracket 14 and a rear bracket 13 by a through bolt 21. The stator winding 52 is electrically connected to the power cable using a crimp terminal, a bolt, a terminal block, or the like in the terminal connection portion formed on the rear bracket 13.

  The rotor 3 is a Rundel type rotor of a field winding type rotating machine. The rotor 3 includes a rotor magnetic pole 4 and a field winding (not shown). The rotor magnetic pole 4 is two pairs of Crow pole type magnetic poles. The claw portions of the pair of claw-shaped magnetic poles 4A and claw-shaped magnetic poles 4B are alternately opposed to form the rotor magnetic pole 4, and the field winding is wound around the inner peripheral winding frame, thereby rotating. A field winding is housed in the child magnetic pole 4. Then, the rotor magnetic pole 4 is fixed to the shaft 2, whereby the Rundel type rotor 3 of the field winding type rotating machine is configured.

  A current is supplied to the field winding from the brush 11 accommodated in the brush holder via the slip ring 10, and a magnetic flux is generated in the claw pole type rotating magnetic pole 4.

An element part 110 and a cylindrical protective member 102 that covers and protects the thermistor element part 110 are provided. The thermistor element portion 110 is sealed in the protective member 102. The protective member 102 is formed of a synthetic resin that can withstand high temperatures, such as a fluororesin, and has flexibility and heat resistance. Thereby, the waterproof effect and the reinforcing effect for the thermistor element portion 110 are ensured, and the thermistor element 101 is protected from a physically severe vehicle environment.

  The protective member 102 may be a heat-shrinkable tube, and after the thermistor element portion 110 is inserted, the protective member 102 may be contracted and the end portion may be closed. Alternatively, it is possible to store the thermistor element portion 110 in another tube material.

  The protection member 102 has an elliptical cross section, and is fixed so that a surface F1 having a large curvature radius is in close contact with the coil end side surface of the stator winding 52. The protective member 102 has a larger contact area with respect to the surface of the detected portion such as the stator winding 52 than the conventional cylindrical protective tube. Also, since the thermistor element 101 is fixed in the elliptical annular shape in the protective member 102, the protective member has an elliptical annular shape that is closer to the contact fixing surface than the fixed position of the conventional cylindrical protective member. When the strength of 102 is constant, the thermistor element portion 110 can be brought close to the surface F1, and as a result, the temperature detection accuracy can be increased.

  Since only the surface F1 of the protective member 102 is in close contact with the coil end side surface of the stator winding 52 and the other surfaces are in contact with the air and are easily affected by the ambient temperature, the temperature detection accuracy can be improved by mounting adhesion. The effect is great.

Fixed by. The protective member 102 has an elliptical annular shape with a radius of curvature larger than the radius of curvature when the cylindrical fixing section F1 is in contact with the coil surface of the cylindrical section. Since F1 can be made larger than the contact surface of the conventional cylindrical protective tube, the temperature sensor 100 can be stably supported and workability is good.
[Second Embodiment]

  Next, a second embodiment of the temperature sensor according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the second embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the protective member 102 is rectangular. In the figure, the same or corresponding parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.

  The protection member 102 is fixed such that the rectangular long side plane F <b> 2 is in close contact with the coil end side surface of the stator winding 52. The protective member 102 has a larger contact area with the stator winding 52 than the conventional cylindrical protective tube, and the protective member 102 has a flat cylindrical shape, that is, the thermistor element in the protective member 102. Since the fixing position of 101 is flattened so as to be closer to the contact fixing surface than the fixing position of the conventional cylindrical protection member, when the strength of the protection member 102 is constant, the thermistor element portion 110 is close to the surface F2. Can be made.

In the second embodiment, in addition to the effects of the first embodiment, the contact surface is the plane F2, so that the contact area is larger, and the temperature detection accuracy and workability can be further improved. .
[Third Embodiment]

  Next, a third embodiment of the temperature sensor according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the third embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the protection member 102 is formed in a triangular ring shape. In the figure, the same or corresponding parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.

  The protection member 102 is fixed so that a plane F3 on one side of the triangle is in close contact with the coil end side surface of the stator winding 52. The protection member 102 has a larger contact area with the stator winding 52 than a conventional cylindrical protection tube, and the fixing position of the thermistor element 101 in the protection member 102 is fixed to the conventional cylindrical protection member. Since the triangular shape is closer to the contact fixing surface than the position, the thermistor element portion 110 can be brought closer to the surface F3 when the strength of the protective member 102 is constant.

The third embodiment has the same effect as the second embodiment.
As apparent from the second and third embodiments, the contact surface can be made flat by making the cross section of the protective member 102 polygonal. Thereby, compared with the elliptical protection member 102 of 1st Embodiment, contact property can be improved further.
[Fourth Embodiment]

  Next, a fourth embodiment of the temperature sensor according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the fourth embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the protective member 102 is a kamaboko shape. In the figure, the same or corresponding parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.

  The protective member 102 has a cylindrical cross section with an annular kamaboko shape with the contact fixing surface F4 being flat and the other outer surface being closed with a semicircular curved surface. The protection member 102 is fixed so that the plane F4 is in close contact with the coil end side surface of the stator winding 52. The protection member 102 has a larger contact area with the stator winding 52 than a conventional cylindrical protection tube, and the fixing position of the thermistor element 101 in the protection member 102 is fixed to the conventional cylindrical protection member. Since it has a semi-cylindrical shape closer to the contact fixing surface than the position, the thermistor element portion 110 can be brought closer to the surface F4 when the strength of the protective member 102 is constant.

The fourth embodiment has the same effect as the second embodiment.
[Fifth Embodiment]

  Next, a fifth embodiment of the temperature sensor according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In the fifth embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the protective member 102 is deformed when bound to a coil so as to come into contact with the coil surface. In the figure, the same or corresponding parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted.

  The protective member 102 has a cylindrical cross section in which the shape of the contact fixing surface F5 in contact with the coil surface is a concave surface in a single state. When the protective member 102 is bound to the coil by the holder 56, the protective member 102 is elastically deformed and the concave surface F5 is in contact with the coil surface. That is, the protection member 102 is formed of a flexible material. Thus, the protection member 102 is deformed by being tightened by the holding tool 56, and is fixed so that the contact fixing surface F <b> 5 is in close contact with the stator winding 52. Since the protection member 102 is deformed, the holding strength by the holder 56 can be increased by the elastic force of the protection member 102.

  The protection member 102 has a larger contact area with the coil end side surface of the stator winding 52 than the conventional cylindrical protection tube, and the fixing position of the thermistor element 101 in the protection member 102 is the same as that of the conventional cylinder. Since the protection member is positioned closer to the contact fixing surface than the fixing position, the thermistor element portion 110 can be brought closer to the concave surface F5 when the strength of the protection member 102 is constant.

  The fifth embodiment has an effect that the holding strength is high in addition to the effect of the second embodiment.

The stator coil 52 uses either a round wire conductor having a circular cross section or a rectangular conductor having a rectangular cross section. When the thermistor element portion 110 is attached to the coil end of the stator coil 52 using a round wire, as described above, if the thermistor element portion 110 is attached at the coil end where a plurality of stator coils 52 are assembled, the coil The contact area between the surface and the thermistor element can be secured, and the temperature can be detected with high accuracy. However, if the thermistor element portion 110 is attached to the coil end of the stator coil using a square wire by the same method as that of the round wire, the contact between the coil surface and the element portion is poor and the temperature may not be detected accurately. Therefore, when the thermistor element portion is attached to the stator coil using the square wire, a holding method different from the round wire is adopted.
The sixth embodiment will be described below.
