Further, the magnetic flux ⁇ 1 flows between the magnetic pole set G2v and the magnetic pole set G2u in the rotational direction in the second armature core H2.
- the magnetic flux ⁇ 1 flows axially between the magnetic pole set G1v and the magnetic pole set G2v through the field core 22N / 22S and the magnet Mg, and flows between the magnetic pole set G1u and the magnetic pole set G2u in the field core 22N / 22S and the magnetic flux set G2u.

前記界磁部と前記電機子部は相対回転可能であり、
(界磁部の極数)/2をp、各相についてのコイル対の数をcとしたときに、
「(360/p)×(n+m/s/2)」は「180/s/c」に実質的に等しい。
図1A等で例示するラジアルギャップタイプの回転電機M1について説明する。図1Aで示すように、回転電機M1は、相対回転可能な界磁部Fsと電機子部Am1とを有している(図1Aにおいて、界磁部Fsの回転方向の一部は図示されていない)。例えば、界磁部Fsがロータであり、電機子部Am1がステータである。界磁部Fsは、回転電機M1が搭載される装置において回転可能となるように支持され、電機子部Am1は、回転電機M1が搭載される装置が有する構造物に固定される。例えば、回転電機M1が電動車両(二輪車両や四輪車両など)に搭載される場合、界磁部Fsは、回転可能となるように支持され且つ車輪に連結される。一方、電機子部Am1は例えば車体フレームに固定される。なお、電機子部Am1がロータであり、界磁部Fsがステータであってもよい。電機子部Am1がロータである場合、ブラシとスリップリングや、ブラシと整流子などを通して、電機子部Am1が備える後述するコイルCLに電流が供給されるとよい。
回転電機M1において、界磁部Fsは電機子部Am1の外側を取り囲むよう配置される。図1Aで示すように、界磁部Fsは、回転方向で並んでいる複数の界磁コア22N・22Sと、それぞれが隣り合う2つの界磁コアの間に配置されている複数の永久磁石Mgとを有している。図3Bでは、磁石Mgの磁化方向が矢印で表されている。矢印が示す方向にある磁石表面がN極であり、N極の表面とは反対側の磁石表面がS極である。この図で示すように、磁石Mgは、回転電機M1の回転方向(機械動作方向)に磁化されている。本明細書において「磁石Mgが回転電機M1の回転方向に磁化されている。」とは、磁化の方向が、磁石Mgの位置における、円(回転電機の軸線Axを中心とする円)の接線の方向を含むことを意味する。隣り合う2つの磁石Mgの磁化方向は反対向きであり、隣り合う2つの磁石Mgは、同じ極性を有する磁石表面が向き合う。界磁コア22Nは、隣り合う2つの磁石MgのN極表面の間にある界磁コアであり、界磁コア22Sは、隣り合う2つの磁石MgのS極表面の間にある界磁コアである。界磁コア22N・22Sは、例えば、積層鋼板や、圧粉材料、それらの結合などによって構成され得る。界磁コア22N・22Sは集磁効果を有しており、磁石Mgの表面全体の磁束を集めて、電機子部Am1へ導く。このことによって、磁石Mgによる磁束を有効に使うことができる。
図1Aで示すように、電機子部Am1は、軸方向で並んでいる複数の電機子コアH1・H2と、複数の電機子コアH1・H2を磁気的に結合するコア連結構造を有している。コア連結構造は、間隔をあけて機械動作方向で並んでいる複数のコア連結部Lを有してよい。
図1Bで示すように、第1電機子コアH1は、回転方向で並んでいる複数の磁極組G1u・G1v・G1wを有している。(以下では、3つの磁極組G1u・G1v・G1wを区別しない説明においては、磁極組について符号G1を用いる。)各磁極組G1は、回転方向で並んでいる複数の磁極33a(図1A参照)を有している。各磁極組G1が有している磁極33aの数は好ましくは2以上である。回転電機M1においては、各磁極組G1は5つの磁極33aで構成されている。磁極33aは第1電機子コアH1の界磁部Fsに向いた面に形成された突出部である。すなわち、磁極33aは径方向に突出する形状を有している部分である。隣り合う2つの磁極33aは回転方向で互いに離れている。界磁部Fsと第1電機子コアH1との間を流れる磁束は、この磁極33aを集中的に通過する。
また、各磁極組G1には外側コイルと外側コイルの内側に配置される内側コイルとが設けられてもよい。例えば、U相の磁極組G1uには、磁極組G1uを構成する全ての磁極33a(5つの磁極33a)を取り囲む外側コイルと、一部の磁極33a(真ん中の3つの磁極33a)だけを取り囲む内側コイルとが設けられてもよい。この構造によると、隣り合う2つ磁極33a間のスペースを有効に利用でき、回転電機を小型化することができる。このことは、後において説明するラジアルギャップタイプの回転電機、アキシャルギャップタイプの回転電機、及びリニア電機のいずれに適用されてもよい。
図1B及び図2で示すように、第2電機子コアH2は、回転方向で並んでいる複数の磁極組G2u、G2v、G2wを有している。(以下では、3つの磁極組G2u、G2v、G2wを区別しない説明においては、磁極組について符号G2を用いる。)各磁極組G2は、回転方向で並んでいる複数の磁極34aで構成されている。各磁極組G2が有している磁極34aの数は好ましくは2以上である。回転電機M1においては、各磁極組G2は6つの磁極34aで構成されている。図1Bで示すように、磁極34aは、第2電機子コアH2の界磁部Fsに向いた面に形成された突出部である。回転電機M1においては、磁極34aは径方向に突出する部分である。第2電機子コアH2は、軸線Axを中心とする環状のヨーク部34cを有しており、磁極34aはヨーク部34cから界磁部Fsに向かって突出している。隣り合う2つの磁極34aは回転方向で互いに離れている。界磁部Fsと第2電機子コアH2との間を流れる磁束は、この磁極34aを集中的に通過する。
第1電機子コアH1の磁極33aの位置と、第2電機子コアH2の磁極34aの位置は、回転方向においてずれている。図2で示すように、回転方向における磁極33aの位置は、回転方向において隣り合う2つの磁極34aの間である。また、回転方向における磁極34aの位置は、回転方向において隣り合う2つの磁極33aの間である。
界磁部Fsをある位置で固定したときに、磁石Mg、界磁コア22N・22S、及び、磁極33a・34aは、以下の位置関係を有する。
s:相数
m:1以上、s-1以下の整数(ただしsの約数(1を除く)および約数(1を除く)の倍数を除く)
n:1以上の整数
したがって、磁極組対Puの磁極33a(又は34a)と界磁コア22N(又は22S)との角度(距離)と、別の磁極組対Pv・Pwの磁極33a(又は34a)と界磁コア22N(又は22S)との角度(距離)との間に、電気角で(360×m/s)度の差がある。回転電機M1では、s=3、n=6、m=1である。そのため、隣り合う2つの磁極組対Pの角度は電気角で2,280度である。したがって、例えば、磁極組対Puの磁極33aが界磁コア22Nに正対しているとき(磁極33aと界磁コア22Nとの角度(距離)が0度であるとき)、磁極組対Pv・Pwの磁極33aの位置は界磁コア22Nに対して電気角で120度だけずれる。このような磁極組対Pと界磁部Fsの相対位置は、リニア電機や、アキシャルギャップタイプの回転電機に適用されてよい。
p:(界磁部の極数)/2
c:各相についてのコイルの数
したがって、「(360/p)×(n+m/s)」は「360/s/c」に実質的に等しくなる。「界磁部の極数」は界磁部Fsが有している界磁コア22N・22Sの数に一致し、回転電機M1では、例えば76である(p=38)。また、s=3、c=2である。そのため、隣り合う2つの磁極組対Pの間の角度は、機械角で約60度となる。言い換えれば、「(360/p)×(n+m/s)」が「360/s/c」に実質的に等しくなるように、界磁部Fsの極数(p×2)や、電機子部のコイル数(s×c)、磁極33a・34aの数などが設定されている。
第1電機子コアH1において、回転方向で隣り合う2つの磁極組G1は磁気的に互いに結合している。回転電機M1においては、複数の磁極組G1は、それらの内側に形成されているヨーク部33cを介して磁気的に結合している。このため、磁石Mgが形成する磁束は2つの磁極組G1の間を流れる(図3B参照)。同様に、第2電機子コアH2において、回転方向で隣り合う2つの磁極組G2も磁気的に互いに結合している。具体的には、複数の磁極組G2は、それらの内側に形成されているヨーク部34cを介して磁気的に結合している。このため、磁石Mgが形成する磁束は2つの磁極組G2の間を流れる(図3B参照)。
コア連結部Lは電機子コアH1・H2を磁気的に結合している。電機子コアH1・H2との間にコア連結部Lを通る磁束Φ7(図3B参照)が形成される。電機子部Am1は複数のコア連結部L(図1A参照)を有し、これらは間隔をあけて回転方向(すなわち、機械動作方向)で並んでいる。図3Bで示すように、複数のコア連結部Lは複数の磁極組対Pにそれぞれ設けられている。例えば、U相の磁極組対Pu(磁極組G1u・G2u)にコア連結部Lが設けられ、第1電機子コアH1の磁極組G1uと第2電機子コアH2の磁極組G2uとの間にはコア連結部Lを介した磁路が形成される。同様に、他の2つの磁極組対Pw・Pvのそれぞれにコア連結部Lが設けられている。
例えば、界磁部Fsの界磁コア22Nと磁極組G1uの磁極33aとの角度差が0度(電気角)の状態において、電機子部Am1と界磁部Fsとに、図3Bで示すような、磁石Mgによる磁束Φ1・Φ2・Φ7が形成される。これらの図において、磁石Mgが形成する磁束Φ1・Φ2・Φ7は、電機子部Am1と界磁部Fsの間の隙間を通過して、界磁コア22Nから第1電機子コアH1の磁極組G1uに入り、コイルCLuの内側を通過する磁束である。
なお、上述した2種類の磁束Φ1・Φ2・Φ7の双方が通過する位置であれば、コイルCLの位置は回転電機M1の例に限られない。例えば、コイルCLは第1電機子コアH1の磁極組G1と第2電機子コアH2の磁極組G2の双方に設けられてもよい、一部のコイルCLは第1電機子コアH1の磁極組G1に設けられ、残りの一部のコイルCLは第2電機子コアH2の磁極組G2に設けられてもよい。コイルCLは第1電機子コアH1の磁極組G1と第2電機子コアH2の磁極組G2の双方に設けられる構造においては、例えば、第1電機子コアH1の磁極組G1uに設けられるコイルCLの巻回方向と、第2電機子コアH2の磁極組G2uに設けられるコイルCLの巻回方向は反対となる。
なお、界磁部Fsが図3Bで示す位置から磁極組G1v・G2vに向けて30度(電気角)だけ回転すると、界磁部Fsの磁石Mgが形成する磁束は変化する。具体的には、磁極組G1v・G2vを構成する磁極33a・34aが界磁部Fsの磁石Mgと正対する。このため、第1電機子コアH1の磁極組G1u・G1v、界磁部Fsの界磁コア22S・22N及び磁石Mg、並びに第2電機子コアH2の磁極組G2u・G2vで構成される磁気回路を通る磁束が流れなくなる。また、第1電機子コアH1の磁極組G1v、コア連結部L、第2電機子コアH2の磁極組G2v、界磁コア22N・22S、及びこの2つの界磁コア22N・22Sの間の磁石Mgを含む磁気回路を通る磁束が流れなくなる。
回転電機M1においては、各電機子コアH1・H2は積層鋼板である。すなわち、第1電機子コアH1の全体が、軸方向で積層されている複数の鋼板Sp1(より具体的には電磁鋼板)で構成され、第2電機子コアH2の全体も軸方向で積層されている複数の鋼板Sp1(より具体的には電磁鋼板)で構成されている。電機子コアH1・H2のこの構造によると、回転方向において離れている2つの磁極組G1の間を流れる磁束に起因して電機子コアH1・H2に誘導電流が発生することを、抑えることができる。
電機子コアの数は、3つより多くてもよい。電機子部は、例えば、軸方向で離れている2つの第1電機子コアH1と、2つの第1電機子コアH1の間に配置されている第3電機子コアと、2つの第1電機子コアH1の上側と下側とにそれぞれ配置される2つの第2電機子コアH2とを有してよい。第3電機子コアは、2つの第2電機子コアH2が軸方向で合体した構造を有してよい。例えば、第3電機子コアの軸方向での幅が、2つの電機子コアH2の幅の合計であってよい。界磁部Fsの軸方向での幅は、5つの電機子コアの全体の軸方向での幅に対応していてよい。電機子部は、さらに多くの電機子コア(例えば、7つの電機子コアや、9つの電機子コア)が軸方向で重ねられた構造を有してもよい。
電機子コアH1・H2は、それらの鋼板Sp1の積層方向においてコアH1・H2を貫通する嵌合穴33h・34h(図1B参照)を有している。コア連結部Lはこの嵌合穴33h・34hに嵌められている。図1C及び図1Dで示すように、電機子コアH1・H2にはスリットS3・S4が形成されている。このスリットS3・S4によって、コア連結部Lを流れる磁束Φ7(図3B参照)に起因して電機子コアH1・H2に誘導電流が発生することを防止できる。
図10は、本開示で提案する回転電機の別の例として、界磁部Fsの外側に電機子部Am3が配置される例を示す斜視図である。図10において、電機子部Am3の回転方向の一部は図示していない。ここでは、図1Aで示した回転電機M1との相違点を中心にして説明する。図10で示す回転電機M3について説明のない事項は、図1Aの回転電機M1の構造が適用されてよい。
s:相数
m:1以上、s-1以下の整数(ただしsの約数(1を除く)および約数(1を除く)の倍数を除く)
n:1以上の整数
p:(界磁部の極数)/2
c:各相についてのコイルの数
図10の例では、s=3,n=4,m=1,c=3,p=39である。
複数の相のそれぞれに設けられているコイルCLの巻回方向は、図1A等で説明した例と同様、同じであってもよい。例えば、3つのU相コイルCLuの巻回方向は同じである。
電機子コアは、軟磁性の圧粉材料で形成されてもよい。図11は、本開示で提案する回転電機の別の例として、このような構造を有する回転電機M4を示している。図11は回転電機M4の斜視図である。界磁部Fsの回転方向の一部は図示していない。図11で示す回転電機M4について説明のない事項は、図1Aの回転電機M1が有する構造が適用されてよい。この図で示す電機子コアの構造は、図で示すラジアルギャップタイプの回転電機だけでなく、リニア電機や、アキシャルギャップタイプの回転電機に適用されてよい。
回転電機M1~M4の例では、各磁極組対Pの設けられるコア連結部Lの数は1つであった。これとは異なり、各磁極組対Pに、回転方向(機械動作方向)で並ぶ複数のコア連結部Lが設けられてもよい。回転電機M1~M4の例では、各磁極組G1・G2に設けられている磁極33a・34aの数は4~6であったが、各磁極組G1・G2に設けられている磁極33a・34aの数はより多くてもよい。このような場合に、各磁極組対Pに複数のコア連結部Lが設けられるとよい。この構造によると、各磁極組対Pに設けられる複数のコア連結部Lの全断面積(軸方向で見たときの面積)を増やすことができる。そのため、ヨーク部33c・34cの幅及び重量の増加を抑えながら、各磁極組G1・G2を通過する磁束を増すことができる。
s:相数
m:1以上、s-1以下の整数(ただしsの約数(1を除く)および約数(1を除く)の倍数を除く)
n:1以上の整数
回転電機M5では、s=3、m=1、n=12である。そのため、隣り合う2つの磁極組対Pの角度は電気角で4,440度である。
p:(界磁部の極数)/2
c:各相についてのコイルの数
したがって、「(360/p)×(n+m/s)」は「360/s/c」に実質的に等しくなる。「界磁部の極数」は界磁部Fsが有している界磁コア22N・22Sの数に一致し、回転電機M1では、例えば148である(p=74)。また、s=3、c=2である。そのため、隣り合う2つの磁極組対Pの間の角度は、機械角で約60度となる。言い換えれば、「(360/p)×(n+m/s)」が「360/s/c」に実質的に等しくなるように、界磁部Fsの極数(p×2)や、電機子部のコイル数(s×c)、磁極33a・34aの数などが設定されている。
電機子コアは、別個に形成され且つ互いに結合している複数の部分(部分電機子コア)で構成されてもよい。図13A及び図13Bは本開示で提案する回転電機の別の例として、このような構造を有する回転電機が有する電機子部Am6を説明するための図である。図13Aは電機子部Am6の分解斜視図である。図13Bは電機子部Am6を構成する第1電機子コアH1の平面図である。電機子部Am6は、これまで説明した他の回転電機の電機子部と同様、第1電機子コアH1と、2つの第2電機子コアH2と、電機子コアH1・H2を磁気的に結合するコア連結部Lとを有している。なお、ここで説明する電機子コアの構造は、図で示すラジアルギャップタイプの回転電機だけでなく、リニア電機や、アキシャルギャップタイプの回転電機に適用されてよい。
回転電機は、各相(例えば、U相、V相、W相)について、巻回方向が互いに反対である2つのコイルを有してもよい。図14A及び図14Bは本開示で提案する回転電機の別の例として、このような構造を有する回転電機の電機子部Am7を示している。図14Aは電機子部Am7の分解斜視図であり、図14Bは電機子部Am7が有している磁極の位置を示す展開図であり、図中の数値は回転方向における角度(距離)を電気角で表したものである。ここでは、図1Aで示した回転電機M1の電機子部Am1との相違点を中心にして説明する。図14A及び図14Bで示す電機子部Am7について説明のない事項は、図1Aの回転電機M1が有する構造が適用されてよい。ここで説明する電機子部の構造は、図で示すラジアルギャップタイプの回転電機だけでなく、リニア電機や、アキシャルギャップタイプの回転電機に適用されてよい。
s:相数
m:1以上、s-1以下の整数(ただしsの約数(1を除く)および約数(1を除く)の倍数を除く)
n:1以上の整数
電機子部Am7において、s=3であり、n=12である。また、m=1とすると、磁極組対Pv+と磁極組対Pw+は、電気角で4,440度だけ離れている。このことは、巻回方向が同じコイルCLが設けられている他の2つの磁極組対Pの間の角度(例えば、磁極組対Pu+と磁極組対Pw+との間の角度や、磁極組対Pv+と磁極組対Pu+との間の角度)についても同様である。このような磁極組対Pと界磁部Fsの相対位置は、リニア電機や、アキシャルギャップタイプの回転電機に適用されてよい。
p:(界磁部の極数)/2
c:各相についてのコイル対の数
したがって、「(360/p)×(n+m/s)」は「360/s/c」に実質的に等しくなる。電機子部Am7では、界磁部Fsの極数は例えば74(p=37)である。また、s=3、c=1である。そのため、巻回方向が同じコイルCLが設けられた隣り合う2つの磁極組対Pの間の角度は、機械角で120度となる。言い換えると、「(360/p)×(n+m/s)」が「360/s/c」に実質的に等しくなるように、界磁部Fsの極数(p×2)や、コイル対数(s×c)、磁極33a・34aの数などが設定されている。
回転電機に供給される交流電流の相数は偶数であってもよい。例えば、交流電流の相数は2であってもよい。図15A及び図15Bは本開示で提案する回転電機の別の例として、このような構造を有する回転電機が有する電機子部Am8を示している。図15Aは電機子部Am8の分解斜視図である。図15Bは電機子部Am8が有している磁極の位置を示す展開図であり、図中の数値は回転方向における角度(距離)を電気角で表したものである。ここでは、図1Aで示した回転電機M1の電機子部Am1との相違点を中心にして説明する。図15A及び図15Bで示す電機子部Am8について説明のない事項は、回転電機M1が有する構造が適用されてよい。ここで説明する電機子部の構造は、図で示すラジアルギャップタイプの回転電機だけでなく、リニア電機や、アキシャルギャップタイプの回転電機に適用されてよい。
s:相数
m:1以上、s-1以下の整数(ただしsの約数(1を除く)および約数(1を除く)の倍数を除く)
n:1以上の整数
電機子部Am8においては、s=2であり、n=4である。また、m=1とすると、磁極組対Pa+と磁極組対Pb+は、電気角で1,530度だけ離れている。このことは、巻回方向が同じ2つのコイルCLが設けられている他の磁極組対Pの間の角度(例えば、磁極組対Pa-と磁極組対Pb-との間の角度)についても同様である。このような磁極組対Pと界磁部Fsの相対位置は、リニア電機や、アキシャルギャップタイプの回転電機に適用されてよい。
p:(界磁部の極数)/2
c:各相についてのコイル対の数
したがって、「(360/p)×(n+m/s/2)」は「180/s/c」に実質的に等しくなる。電機子部Am8では、界磁部Fsの極数は例えば68(p=34)である。また、s=2、c=2である。そのため、隣り合う2つの磁極組対Pの間の角度は、機械角で45度となる。言い換えると、「(360/p)×(n+m/s/2)」が「180/s/c」に実質的に等しくなるように、界磁部Fsの極数(p×2)や、コイル対数(s×c)、磁極33a・34aの数などが設定されている。
図16は、界磁部Fsの例を示す断面図である。(切断面は回転方向に平行な面である。)同図に示すように、各界磁コア22N・22Sは、例えば、隣り合う2つの磁石の間に配置され且つ回転方向で離れている複数の部分コアで構成されてよい。具体的には、各界磁コア22N・22Sは、回転方向で離れている2つの部分界磁コア22fで構成され、2つの部分界磁コア22fの間の隙間K3が確保されてよい。こうすることで、界磁コア22N・22Sと磁石Mgについて寸法誤差の累積が抑えられて、界磁コア22N・22Sと磁石Mgの位置精度が向上できる。図16で示す界磁部Fsは、径方向において電機子部の外側に配置される界磁部である。したがって、磁石Mg及び部分界磁コア22fの幅は径方向に一定である一方で、隙間K3は径方向の外側に向かって徐々に大きくなっている。これにより、界磁部Fsは全体として円筒状となっている。
本開示で提案する電気機械の構造は、電機子部と界磁部とが直線に沿った方向で相対移動可能なリニア電機に適用されてもよい。図17は、本開示で提案する構造が適用されたリニア電機の例として、リニア電機M10を示す斜視図である。
これまで説明した電気機械(例えば、図1Aで例示する回転電機M1)において、複数の電機子コアH1・H2は、界磁部Fsに対して同じ方向に位置している。これとは異なり、第1電機子コアH1は界磁部Fsの第1の面に対して第1の方向に位置し、第2電機子コアH2は界磁部Fsの第2の面に対して第2の方向に位置してよい。ここで第1の方向と第2の方向は、例えば、互いに反対に向いている2方向、又は、互いに交差する2方向である。この構造においても、電機子部は複数の電機子コアH1・H2を磁気的に結合するコア連結構造(例えば、機械動作方向で並んでいる複数のコア連結部L)を有してよい。このような構造は、回転電機に適用されてもよいし、リニア電機に適用されてもよい。
図18A~図18Cは、界磁部Fsに対する相対位置が異なる第1電機子コアH1と第2電機子コアH2とを有する電気機械の例として、ラジアルギャップタイプの回転電機M21を示している。図18Aは回転電機M21の斜視図であり、図18Bは回転電機M21の分解斜視図である。図18Cは回転電機M21に形成される磁束を示す図である。以下では、図1Aで説明した回転電機M1との相違点を中心にして説明する。これらの図で示す回転電機M21について説明のない事項は、図1Aの例が適用されてよい。
図18A及び図18Bで開示する電機子コアの配置は、電機子部と界磁部とが直線に沿った方向で相対移動可能なリニア電機に適用されてもよい。図21A及び図21Bはリニア電機の例を示す図である。図21Aはリニア電機M22の斜視図であり、図21Bはリニア電機M22の分解斜視図である。図21Aにおいて、界磁部Fsの一部と、第2電機子コアH2の一部は省略されている。ここでは、図18A及び図18Bで例示したラジアルギャップタイプの回転電機M21との相違点を中心にして説明する。リニア電機M22について説明のない事項は、回転電機M21の構造が適用されてよい。
リニア電機において電機子コアH1・H2は、電磁鋼板で形成されるヨーク部分コアと、電磁鋼板で形成され且つヨーク部分コアに形成された嵌合穴に嵌められる磁極コアとを有してよい。図23は、このような電機子コアH1・H2を有しているリニア電機M23を示す図である。ここでは、図21A及び図21Bで示したリニア電機M22との相違点について説明する。図23で示すリニア電機M23について説明のない事項(例えば、磁極組対P間の距離(電気角)や界磁部Fsの構造)については、これまで説明した他の電気機械の構造が適用されてよい。なお、図23においては、第2電機子コアH2を示すため、第1電機子コアH1の一部及び界磁部Fsの一部が省略されている。
電機子コアH1・H2は、軟磁性の圧粉材料で形成されてもよい。図24A及び図24Bは、このような電気機械の例としてリニア電機M24を示す斜視図である。この図において、界磁部Fsの一部と、第1電機子コアH1の一部は省略されている。以下では、これまで説明したリニア電機との相違点を中心に説明する。図24A及び図24Bで示すリニア電機M24について説明のない事項(例えば、磁極組対P間の距離(電気角)や界磁部Fsの構造)については、これまで説明した他の電気機械の構造が適用されてよい。
図25A~図25Cは、界磁部Fsを挟んで第1電機子コアH1と第2電機子コアH2とが互いに反対側に配置される電気機械の例として、アキシャルギャップタイプの回転電機M25を示している。図25Aは回転電機M25の斜視図であり、図25Bは回転電機M25の分解斜視図である。図25Cは回転電機M25の底面図であり、第1電機子コアH1の底面が示されている。ここでは、図18A及び図18Bで説明した回転電機M21との相違点を中心にして説明する。これらの図で示す回転電機M25について説明のない事項は、図18Aの例が適用されてよい。
電機子コアH1・H2及び界磁部Fsの相対的な位置はこれまで説明した電気機械の例に限られない。例えば、回転電機においては、界磁部の外周面又は内周面に対して径方向に一方の電機子コアが配置され、界磁部Fsに対して軸方向に他方の電機子コアが配置されてよい。リニア電機においては、界磁部Fsの右側面又は左側面(機械動作方向に沿った第1の面)に対して側方に一方の電機子コアが配置され、界磁部Fsの上面又は下面(機械動作方向に沿った第2の面)に対して上方又は下方に他方の電機子コアが配置されてよい。
これまで説明した電気機械では、第1電機子コアH1と第2電機子コアH2とを磁気的に結合するコア連結構造として、機械動作方向において間隔をあけて並んでいる複数のコア連結部Lが利用されていた。コア連結構造はこれに限られず、機械動作方向で延びている1つのコア連結部Lが利用されてもよい。図27A及び図27Bはこのような電気機械の例として、アキシャルギャップタイプの回転電機M27を示している。図27Aは斜視図であり、図27Bは分解斜視図である。ここでは、ここでは、図25A~図25Cで説明した回転電機M25との相違点を中心にして説明する。これらの図で示す回転電機M27について説明のない事項は、図25A~図25Cの例が適用されてよい。
なお、図27A及び図27Bを参照して説明したコア連結部L11・L12はアキシャルギャップタイプの回転電機だけでなく、例えば、図24Aで示したリニア電機や、図26Aで示した回転電機、ラジアルギャップタイプの回転電機において適用されてもよい。コア連結部L11・L12がリニア電機M24に適用される場合、コア連結部L11・L12の前後方向の長さは、電機子コアH1・H2が有する複数の磁極組G1・G2の全体の長さに対応していてよい。
図1A及び図18Aで例示したように、回転電機M1・M21は、電機子部Am1・Am21と、電機子部Am1・Am21に対して相対移動可能である界磁部Fsとを有している。界磁部Fsは、電機子部Am1・Am21と界磁部Fsとの相対移動の方向である回転方向(機械動作方向)で並んでいる複数の界磁コア22N・22Sと、隣り合う2つの界磁コア22N・22Sの間にそれぞれが配置されている複数の磁石Mgとを含む。電機子部Am1・Am21は、回転方向に対して交差する方向(電機子部Am1では軸方向、電機子部Am21では径方向)で離れている第1電機子コアH1と第2電機子コアH2と、第1電機子コアH1と第2電機子コアH2とを磁気的に結合しているコア連結構造と、複数のコイルCLとを含む。第1電機子コアH1は、回転方向で並んでおり且つ磁気的に結合している磁極組G1uと磁極組G1vとを有している。第2電機子コアH2は、回転方向で並んでおり且つ磁気的に結合している磁極組G2uと磁極組G2vとを有している。回転方向における磁極組G1uの位置は、回転方向における磁極組G2uの位置に対応している。回転方向における磁極組G1vの位置は、回転方向における磁極組G2vの位置に対応している。複数のコイルCLは、磁極組G1uに設けられているU相コイルCLuを含んでいる。図3B及び図18Cで示すように、U相コイルCLuを通過する第1磁束Φ1とU相コイルCLuを通過する第2磁束Φ7とが複数の磁石Mgのうちの1つ又は複数によって形成される。第1磁束Φ1が流れる第1磁気回路は、磁極組G1u、磁極組G1v、磁極組G2u、磁極組G2v、界磁コア22N・22S、及び磁石Mgを含む。第2磁束Φ7が流れる第2磁気回路は、磁極組G1u、コア連結構造、磁極組G2u、界磁コア22N・22S、及び磁石Mgを含む。この回転電機M1・M21によると、磁気回路が磁気的に飽和することを抑えることができる。その結果、コイルCLに供給する電流を増すことが可能となり、大きな動力を回転電機M1・M21から得ることができる。また、各電機子コアH1・H2を回転方向で磁気的に分割する必要がなくなるため、電機子コアH1・H2の強度を増すことができる。本開示で提案した他の電気機械も、上述した第1磁気回路と第2磁気回路とを有しており、同様の効果を奏する。
