 蓄電装置179は、キャパシタ、あるいはリチウムイオン電池、ニッケル水素電池などの二次電池で構成され、250ボルトから600ボルト、あるいはそれ以上の高電圧の直流電力を出力する電源装置である。蓄電装置179は、力行走行時には回転電機110に電力を供給し、回生走行時には回転電機110から電力を受ける。蓄電装置179と回転電機110との間の電力の授受は、電力変換装置である第1インバータ171A及び第2インバータ171Bを介して行われる。 The power storage device 179 is a power supply device that is composed of a capacitor or a secondary battery such as a lithium-ion battery or a nickel-metal hydride battery, and outputs high-voltage DC power of 250 V to 600 V or more. Power storage device 179 supplies electric power to rotating electric machine 110 during power running, and receives electric power from rotating electric machine 110 during regenerative running. Electric power is exchanged between power storage device 179 and rotary electric machine 110 via first inverter 171A and second inverter 171B, which are power conversion devices.
 回転電機110による回転トルクは、変速機180(図2参照)とデファレンシャルギア(不図示)を介して車輪に伝達され、電気自動車(車両とも記す)が走行する。駆動装置170は、統合制御装置(不図示)からのトルク指令に基づき、指令通りのトルク出力あるいは発電電力が発生するように回転電機110を制御する。 The rotational torque generated by the rotating electric machine 110 is transmitted to the wheels via the transmission 180 (see FIG. 2) and the differential gear (not shown), and the electric vehicle (also referred to as vehicle) runs. Drive device 170 controls rotating electric machine 110 based on a torque command from an integrated control device (not shown) so that torque output or power generation according to the command is generated.
 第1インバータ171A及び第2インバータ171Bは、複数のパワー半導体素子を有する。駆動装置170は、統合制御装置(不図示)からの指令に基づきパワー半導体素子のスイッチング動作を制御する。パワー半導体素子のスイッチング動作により、回転電機110は電動機としてあるいは発電機として運転される。第1インバータ171A及び第2インバータ171Bは、DC電圧からパワー半導体素子のスイッチング動作(オン・オフ)により矩形波を生成し、模擬的に交流電圧を生成する。駆動装置170は、パワー半導体素子のスイッチング動作の周期やタイミングを制御することにより、交流電圧の大きさや周波数を制御する。 The first inverter 171A and the second inverter 171B have a plurality of power semiconductor elements. The driving device 170 controls the switching operation of the power semiconductor elements based on commands from an integrated control device (not shown). The switching operation of the power semiconductor elements causes rotating electric machine 110 to operate as a motor or as a generator. The first inverter 171A and the second inverter 171B generate a rectangular wave from the DC voltage by switching operation (ON/OFF) of the power semiconductor element, and generate a simulated AC voltage. The driving device 170 controls the magnitude and frequency of the AC voltage by controlling the period and timing of the switching operation of the power semiconductor element.
 第1インバータ171Aと第2インバータ171Bとは同一の蓄電装置(電源装置)179に接続されている。つまり、第1インバータ171Aと第2インバータ171BのDCリンク電圧が共有化されている。この構成では、1つの蓄電装置179のDCリンク電圧から、2つのインバータ171A,171Bによって2つの電圧を出力することができる。また、DCリンク電圧を共有化することにより、電動駆動システム10を低コスト化できる。 The first inverter 171A and the second inverter 171B are connected to the same power storage device (power supply device) 179 . That is, the DC link voltage is shared between the first inverter 171A and the second inverter 171B. In this configuration, two voltages can be output from the DC link voltage of one power storage device 179 by two inverters 171A and 171B. Also, by sharing the DC link voltage, the cost of the electric drive system 10 can be reduced.
 回転電機110を電動機として運転する場合は、蓄電装置179からの直流電力が第1インバータ171A及び第2インバータ171Bの直流端子に供給される。駆動装置170は、パワー半導体素子のスイッチング動作を制御して供給された直流電力を3相交流電力に変換し、回転電機110に供給する。一方、回転電機110を発電機として運転する場合には、回転電機110のロータが外部から加えられる回転トルクで回転駆動され、ステータコイルに3相交流電力が発生する。発生した3相交流電力は駆動装置170で直流電力に変換され、その直流電力が蓄電装置179に供給されることにより、蓄電装置179が充電される。 When the rotating electrical machine 110 is operated as an electric motor, the DC power from the power storage device 179 is supplied to the DC terminals of the first inverter 171A and the second inverter 171B. Drive device 170 controls the switching operation of the power semiconductor element, converts the supplied DC power into three-phase AC power, and supplies the three-phase AC power to rotary electric machine 110 . On the other hand, when rotating electrical machine 110 is operated as a generator, the rotor of rotating electrical machine 110 is rotationally driven by a rotational torque applied from the outside, and three-phase AC power is generated in the stator coils. The generated three-phase AC power is converted into DC power by drive device 170, and the DC power is supplied to power storage device 179, whereby power storage device 179 is charged.

The drive circuit board 173B is provided with a drive circuit 174B that controls the switching operation of the power semiconductor elements of the second inverter 171B.
 制御回路基板175には、駆動回路174A,174Bに制御信号を出力する制御回路176が設けられている。駆動回路174A,174Bは、制御回路176から出力された制御信号に基づいて、パワー半導体素子を駆動させるための駆動信号を発生する。 The control circuit board 175 is provided with a control circuit 176 that outputs control signals to the drive circuits 174A and 174B. Drive circuits 174A and 174B generate drive signals for driving the power semiconductor elements based on control signals output from control circuit 176 .
 制御回路176は各インバータ171A,171Bを制御する制御装置を構成している。制御回路176は、複数のパワー半導体素子を動作(オン・オフ)させるための制御信号(制御値)を演算するマイクロコンピュータによって構成される。制御回路176には、統合制御装置(不図示)からのトルク指令信号(トルク指令値)、電流センサ172A,172Bのセンサ出力、回転電機110に搭載された回転センサ(不図示)のセンサ出力が入力される。制御回路176は、それらの入力信号に基づいて制御値を演算し、駆動回路174A,174Bにパワー半導体素子のスイッチング動作を制御するための制御信号(指令)を出力する。 The control circuit 176 constitutes a control device that controls the inverters 171A and 171B. The control circuit 176 is composed of a microcomputer that calculates control signals (control values) for operating (turning on/off) a plurality of power semiconductor devices. The control circuit 176 receives a torque command signal (torque command value) from an integrated control device (not shown), sensor outputs of the current sensors 172A and 172B, and sensor outputs of a rotation sensor (not shown) mounted on the rotary electric machine 110. is entered. The control circuit 176 calculates control values based on those input signals, and outputs control signals (instructions) for controlling switching operations of the power semiconductor elements to the drive circuits 174A and 174B.
 制御回路176、第1インバータ171Aと第2インバータ171Bとで共通に使用される。つまり、第1インバータ171Aと第2インバータ172には同一の制御回路(制御装置)176からの指令が入力される。制御回路176を共通化することにより、電動駆動システム10を低コスト化できる。 It is commonly used by the control circuit 176, the first inverter 171A and the second inverter 171B. That is, commands from the same control circuit (control device) 176 are input to the first inverter 171A and the second inverter 172 . By sharing the control circuit 176, the cost of the electric drive system 10 can be reduced.
 図2を参照して、電動駆動システム10の構造について説明する。図2に示すように、電動駆動システム10は、回転電機110と、駆動装置170と、変速機180と、それらを収容する筐体190と、を備える。 The structure of the electric drive system 10 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the electric drive system 10 includes a rotating electrical machine 110, a drive device 170, a transmission 180, and a housing 190 that accommodates them.
 筐体190は、回転電機110を収容するモータハウジング191と、駆動装置170を収容するインバータハウジング197と、変速機180を収容するギヤハウジング198と、を有する。モータハウジング191とインバータハウジング197とは、ボルト、ナット等の締結部材17によって締結されることにより一体化されている。回転電機110と駆動装置170が1パッケージ化されているため、回転電機110と駆動装置170を個別に車両へ取り付ける場合に比べて、車両への取付作業を向上できる。また、回転電機110と駆動装置170とを別々に配置させる場合に比べてケーブルを省略することができる。これにより、電動駆動システム10の軽量化を図ることができ、さらにノイズを低減することもできる。 The housing 190 has a motor housing 191 that houses the rotating electric machine 110 , an inverter housing 197 that houses the driving device 170 , and a gear housing 198 that houses the transmission 180 . The motor housing 191 and the inverter housing 197 are integrated by being fastened by fastening members 17 such as bolts and nuts. Since the rotating electric machine 110 and the drive device 170 are packaged into one package, the mounting work to the vehicle can be improved compared to the case where the rotating electric machine 110 and the drive device 170 are individually mounted to the vehicle. In addition, cables can be omitted compared to the case where rotating electric machine 110 and drive device 170 are separately arranged. As a result, the weight of the electric drive system 10 can be reduced, and noise can be reduced.
 ギヤハウジング198は、図示しない締結部材によりモータハウジング191に締結される。 The gear housing 198 is fastened to the motor housing 191 by fastening members (not shown).
 回転電機110は、例えば、永久磁石埋込型の三相同期電動発電機である。回転電機110は、モータハウジング191に固定された円筒状のステータ130と、ステータ130の内周側に隙間をあけて回転可能に配置される円筒状のロータ150とを有する。なお、以下の説明において、「軸方向」、「周方向」、「径方向」とは、次のとおりである。「軸方向」とは、回転電機110(ロータ150)の回転中心軸Caに沿う方向である。なお、回転中心軸Caは、ステータ130の中心軸と一致する。「周方向」とは、回転電機110の回転方向(ロータ150の回転方向)に沿う方向、すなわち軸方向に直交しかつ回転中心軸Caを中心とする円周方向である。「径方向」とは、回転電機110の回転中心軸Ca及び周方向に直交する方向、すなわち半径方向である。また、「内周側」は径方向内側(内径側)を指し、「外周側」はその逆方向、すなわち径方向外側(外径側)のことを指す。 The rotating electrical machine 110 is, for example, a permanent magnet embedded three-phase synchronous motor generator. The rotating electric machine 110 has a cylindrical stator 130 fixed to a motor housing 191 and a cylindrical rotor 150 rotatably arranged on the inner peripheral side of the stator 130 with a gap therebetween. In the following description, "axial direction", "circumferential direction", and "radial direction" are as follows. "Axial direction" is a direction along the rotation center axis Ca of the rotary electric machine 110 (rotor 150). Note that the rotation center axis Ca coincides with the center axis of the stator 130 . The “circumferential direction” is a direction along the direction of rotation of rotating electric machine 110 (the direction of rotation of rotor 150), that is, a circumferential direction orthogonal to the axial direction and centered on rotation center axis Ca. A “radial direction” is a direction orthogonal to the rotation center axis Ca of the rotating electric machine 110 and the circumferential direction, that is, the radial direction. In addition, the “inner peripheral side” refers to the radially inner side (inner diameter side), and the “outer peripheral side” refers to the opposite direction, that is, the radial outer side (outer diameter side).
 図3及び図4を参照して、ステータ130について説明する。図3は回転電機110の一部を示す平面断面模式図であり、図4はステータ130の斜視図であり、ステータ130の一端側を示す。図3及び図4に示すように、ステータ130は、円筒状のステータコア131と、ステータコア131に装着されるステータコイル160とを有する。ステータコア131は、例えば、円環形状の電磁鋼板を複数枚積層することにより形成される。ステータコア131は、モータハウジング191(図2参照)の内側に嵌合固定される。 The stator 130 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional plan view showing a portion of rotating electric machine 110, and FIG. 4 is a perspective view of stator 130 showing one end side of stator 130. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 , stator 130 has a cylindrical stator core 131 and stator coils 160 mounted on stator core 131 . The stator core 131 is formed, for example, by laminating a plurality of annular magnetic steel sheets. The stator core 131 is fitted and fixed inside the motor housing 191 (see FIG. 2).
 ステータコア131の内周部には、ステータコア131の中心軸方向に平行な複数(本実施形態では48個)のスロット133が形成される。スロット133は、ステータコア131の径方向に沿って互いに平行な側面を有する半閉平行スロットである。つまり、スロット133は、外周端からティース134の鍔部まで一定の周方向幅を有する。スロット133には、ステータコイル160を構成するU相、V相、W相の複数の相巻線が配置される。複数のスロット133は、ステータコア131の円周方向に等間隔で形成される。 A plurality of (48 slots in this embodiment) slots 133 are formed in the inner peripheral portion of the stator core 131 parallel to the central axis direction of the stator core 131 . The slots 133 are semi-closed parallel slots having side surfaces parallel to each other along the radial direction of the stator core 131 . That is, the slot 133 has a constant circumferential width from the outer peripheral end to the flange of the tooth 134 . A plurality of phase windings of U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase that constitute stator coil 160 are arranged in slots 133 . A plurality of slots 133 are formed at regular intervals in the circumferential direction of stator core 131 .
 スロット133間にはティース134が形成される。複数のティース134は環状のコアバック135から回転中心軸Caに向かって突出するように形成されている。ティース134は径方向の磁路を形成し、コアバック135は周方向の磁路を形成する。ティース134は、ステータコイル160によって発生した回転磁界をロータ150に導き、ロータ150に回転トルクを発生させる。 Teeth 134 are formed between the slots 133 . A plurality of teeth 134 are formed to protrude from an annular core back 135 toward the rotation center axis Ca. The teeth 134 form radial magnetic paths, and the core backs 135 form circumferential magnetic paths. The teeth 134 guide the rotating magnetic field generated by the stator coil 160 to the rotor 150 and cause the rotor 150 to generate rotating torque.
 図2及び図3を参照して、ロータ150について説明する。図2及び図3に示すように、ロータ150は、ロータコア151と、ロータコア151に固定される複数の永久磁石152と、ロータコア151の貫通孔に固定されるシャフト159とを備える。図2に示すように、シャフト159が筐体190に設けられた複数の軸受によって支承されることにより、ロータ150がステータコア131の内側で回転可能に保持される。 The rotor 150 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. FIG. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 , rotor 150 includes rotor core 151 , multiple permanent magnets 152 fixed to rotor core 151 , and shaft 159 fixed to a through hole of rotor core 151 . As shown in FIG. 2 , the rotor 150 is rotatably held inside the stator core 131 by supporting the shaft 159 with a plurality of bearings provided in the housing 190 .
 ロータコア151は、例えば、円環形状の電磁鋼板を複数枚積層することにより形成される。永久磁石152は、ロータ150の界磁極を形成する。永久磁石152には、ネオジウム系、サマリウム系の焼結磁石、フェライト磁石、ネオジウム系のボンド磁石などを用いることができる。 The rotor core 151 is formed, for example, by laminating a plurality of annular electromagnetic steel sheets. Permanent magnets 152 form the field poles of rotor 150 . For the permanent magnet 152, a neodymium-based or samarium-based sintered magnet, a ferrite magnet, a neodymium-based bond magnet, or the like can be used.
 図3に示すように、ロータコア151には、直方体形状の磁石挿入孔153が外周部近傍において周方向に等間隔で形成されており、各磁石挿入孔153には永久磁石152が埋め込まれ、接着剤などで固定されている。磁石挿入孔153の周方向の幅は、永久磁石152の周方向の幅よりも大きい。永久磁石152の周方向両端と磁石挿入孔153の周方向両端との間には磁気的空隙が形成される。この磁気的空隙には接着剤を埋め込んでもよいし、樹脂で永久磁石152と一体に固めてもよい。 As shown in FIG. 3, in the rotor core 151, rectangular parallelepiped magnet insertion holes 153 are formed in the vicinity of the outer peripheral portion at regular intervals in the circumferential direction. It is fixed with an agent. The circumferential width of the magnet insertion hole 153 is larger than the circumferential width of the permanent magnet 152 . A magnetic gap is formed between the circumferential ends of the permanent magnet 152 and the circumferential ends of the magnet insertion hole 153 . An adhesive may be embedded in this magnetic gap, or it may be integrally fixed with the permanent magnet 152 with resin.
 永久磁石152の磁化方向は径方向を向いており、界磁極毎に磁化方向の向きが反転している。つまり、ある磁極を形成するための永久磁石152のステータ130側の面がN極、シャフト159側の面がS極に磁化されていたとすると、隣の磁極を形成する永久磁石152のステータ130側の面はS極、シャフト159側の面はN極に磁化されている。 The magnetization direction of the permanent magnet 152 is radial, and the magnetization direction is reversed for each field pole. In other words, if the surface of the permanent magnet 152 on the side of the stator 130 for forming a certain magnetic pole is magnetized to the N pole and the surface on the side of the shaft 159 is magnetized to the S pole, the permanent magnet 152 that forms the next magnetic pole is magnetized on the side of the stator 130 . is magnetized to the S pole, and the surface on the shaft 159 side is magnetized to the N pole.
 図3~図7を参照してステータコイル160について説明する。図4に示すように、ステータコア131には、ステータコイル160が分布巻き(波巻き)で巻き回されている。分布巻きとは、複数のスロット133を跨いで離間した二つのスロット133に相巻線が収納されるように、相巻線がステータコア131に巻かれる巻線方式である。 The stator coil 160 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 7. FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, a stator coil 160 is wound around the stator core 131 by distributed winding (wave winding). Distributed winding is a winding method in which a phase winding is wound around the stator core 131 so that the phase winding is accommodated in two slots 133 that are spaced across a plurality of slots 133 .
 ステータコイル160は、U字形状の複数のセグメント導体165が波状に接続されることで形成される。セグメント導体165は、中央部がステータ130の軸方向一方のコイルエンド162Aを構成する。セグメント導体165の両側の端部は、溶接されてステータ130の軸方向他方のコイルエンド162Bを構成する。 The stator coil 160 is formed by connecting a plurality of U-shaped segment conductors 165 in a wave shape. The central portion of the segment conductor 165 constitutes one coil end 162A of the stator 130 in the axial direction. Both ends of the segment conductor 165 are welded to constitute the other axial coil end 162B of the stator 130 .
 図3及び図4に示すように、ステータコイル160は、ステータコア131のスロット133内に配置されるコイル導体(以下、スロット内導体と記す)161と、ステータコア131の両端からスロット133外に突出して配置されるコイル導体であるコイルエンド162A,162Bとを有する。ステータコイル160は、断面が矩形状であり、例えば、銅を主成分とした導体(導線)にエナメル被膜等の絶縁被膜が覆われた平角線により形成される。スロット133内に配置されるスロット内導体161は、その径方向の長さ(以下、コイル高さとも記す)Hi,Hoが、その周方向の長さ(以下、コイル幅とも記す)Bに比べて小さい。 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 , the stator coil 160 includes coil conductors (hereinafter referred to as in-slot conductors) 161 arranged in the slots 133 of the stator core 131 and protruding outside the slots 133 from both ends of the stator core 131 . It has coil ends 162A and 162B which are arranged coil conductors. The stator coil 160 has a rectangular cross section and is formed of, for example, a rectangular wire in which a conductor (conductor wire) mainly composed of copper is covered with an insulating film such as an enamel film. The in-slot conductor 161 arranged in the slot 133 has a radial length (hereinafter also referred to as coil height) Hi and Ho compared to a circumferential length (hereinafter also referred to as coil width) B. small.
 図3のスロット拡大図に示すように、1つのスロット133内に、矩形断面を有する6本のスロット内導体161が径方向に1列に並んで配置されている。つまり、スロット133には、複数のスロット内導体(コイル導体)161が、径方向に層状に配置されている。以下、各スロット内導体161が配置されるスロット133内のコイル導体の収容部を、スロット133の内周側(スロット開口側)から外周側に向かって順に1層目L1、2層目L2、3層目L3、4層目L4、5層目L5、6層目L6と称する。 As shown in the enlarged view of the slot in FIG. 3, six in-slot conductors 161 having a rectangular cross section are arranged in a row in the radial direction in one slot 133 . That is, in the slot 133, a plurality of in-slot conductors (coil conductors) 161 are arranged in layers in the radial direction. In the following, the accommodating portions for the coil conductors in the slots 133 in which the in-slot conductors 161 are arranged are arranged in order from the inner peripheral side (slot opening side) of the slot 133 toward the outer peripheral side as the first layer L1, the second layer L2, They are called the third layer L3, the fourth layer L4, the fifth layer L5, and the sixth layer L6.
 スロット133の1層目L1及び2層目L2に配置されるコイル導体を第1内径側コイル160iaと記し、スロット133の3層目L3及び4層目L4に配置されるコイル導体を第2内径側コイル160ibと記し、スロット133の5層目L5及び6層目L6に配置されるコイル導体を外径側コイル160oと記す。つまり、外径側コイル160oは、ステータコア131の外径側に配置されるコイル導体により形成され、内径側コイル160ia,160ibは、ステータコア131の内径側に配置されるコイル導体により形成される。 The coil conductors arranged on the first layer L1 and the second layer L2 of the slot 133 are referred to as a first inner diameter side coil 160ia, and the coil conductors arranged on the third layer L3 and the fourth layer L4 of the slot 133 are referred to as the second inner diameter coil 160ia. The coil conductors arranged in the fifth layer L5 and the sixth layer L6 of the slot 133 are referred to as outer diameter side coils 160o. That is, the outer coil 160o is formed by a coil conductor arranged on the outer diameter side of the stator core 131, and the inner coils 160ia and 160ib are formed by coil conductors arranged on the inner diameter side of the stator core 131.
 第1内径側コイル160ia及び第2内径側コイル160ibのスロット内導体161のコイル高さ(厚み)Hiは、外径側コイル160oのスロット内導体161のコイル高さ(厚み)Hoよりも小さい(Hi<Ho)。本実施形態では、第1内径側コイル160ia及び第2内径側コイル160ibのスロット内導体161のコイル高さ(厚み)Hiは、外径側コイル160oのスロット内導体161のコイル高さ(厚み)Hoの半分である(Hi=(1/2)Ho)。 The coil height (thickness) Hi of the in-slot conductor 161 of the first inner diameter side coil 160ia and the second inner diameter side coil 160ib is smaller than the coil height (thickness) Ho of the in-slot conductor 161 of the outer diameter side coil 160o ( Hi<Ho). In this embodiment, the coil height (thickness) Hi of the slot conductor 161 of the first inner diameter coil 160ia and the second inner diameter coil 160ib is the coil height (thickness) of the slot conductor 161 of the outer coil 160o. It is half of Ho (Hi=(1/2)Ho).
 スロット133の内周面とスロット内導体(コイル導体)161との間、及び、スロット133内の複数のスロット内導体(コイル導体)161同士の間には、絶縁材169が設けられている。絶縁材169は、例えば、ワニスであり、スロット133の内周面とコイル導体との間及び隣接するコイル導体間に充填される。なお、絶縁材169は、非導電性の物質であればよく、ワニスに限定されない。例えば、絶縁材169には、絶縁紙を採用してもよい。スロット133内に絶縁紙を設けた上でワニスを充填してもよい。これにより、回転電機110の絶縁信頼性を向上することができる。 An insulating material 169 is provided between the inner peripheral surface of the slot 133 and the in-slot conductor (coil conductor) 161 and between the plurality of in-slot conductors (coil conductors) 161 in the slot 133 . The insulating material 169 is, for example, varnish, and is filled between the inner peripheral surface of the slot 133 and the coil conductors and between adjacent coil conductors.

 図7を参照して、第1回路C11,C21と第2回路C12,C22の接続構造について説明する。U1相巻線の第1回路C11と第2回路C12の接続構造と、U2相巻線の第1回路C21と第2回路C22の接続構造は同様であるので、U1相巻線の第1回路C11と第2回路C12の接続構造を代表して説明する。 A connection structure between the first circuits C11, C21 and the second circuits C12, C22 will be described with reference to FIG. Since the connection structure between the first circuit C11 and the second circuit C12 of the U1 phase winding and the connection structure of the first circuit C21 and the second circuit C22 of the U2 phase winding are the same, the first circuit of the U1 phase winding The connection structure between C11 and the second circuit C12 will be described as a representative.
 図7に示すように、第1回路C11と第2回路C12とは、スロット133の外側において、接続用導体168によって接続される。接続用導体168は、例えば、矩形平板状の銅板により形成され、溶接等により第1回路C11の引出し線と第2回路C12の引出し線とに接続される。 As shown in FIG. 7, the first circuit C11 and the second circuit C12 are connected by a connection conductor 168 outside the slot 133. The connection conductor 168 is formed of, for example, a rectangular copper plate, and is connected to the lead wire of the first circuit C11 and the lead wire of the second circuit C12 by welding or the like.
 上述したように、第1回路C11のコイル導体の厚み(コイル高さHo)と、第2回路C12のコイル導体の厚み(コイル高さHi)とは異なる(図3参照)。厚みの異なるコイル導体を突き合わせ等で直接溶接する場合、溶接作業が難しい。 As described above, the thickness of the coil conductor of the first circuit C11 (coil height Ho) is different from the thickness of the coil conductor of the second circuit C12 (coil height Hi) (see FIG. 3). It is difficult to weld coil conductors of different thicknesses directly by butt welding.
 これに対して、本実施形態では、接続用導体168を第1回路C11の引出し線の側面と第2回路C12の引出し線の側面のそれぞれに溶接する。つまり、接続用導体168と第1回路C11とが溶接部を介して接続されるとともに、接続用導体168と第2回路C12とが溶接部を介して接続される。第1回路C11と第2回路C12を直接接続するのではなく接続用導体168を介して接続することにより、第1回路C11と第2回路C12とを容易に接続することができる。このため、回転電機110の製造コストを低減することができる。なお、接続用導体168は、銅板に限らず、リード線などの導電部材であってもよい。 On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the connection conductor 168 is welded to each of the side surface of the lead wire of the first circuit C11 and the side surface of the lead wire of the second circuit C12. That is, the connection conductor 168 and the first circuit C11 are connected via the weld, and the connection conductor 168 and the second circuit C12 are connected via the weld. The first circuit C11 and the second circuit C12 can be easily connected by connecting the first circuit C11 and the second circuit C12 through the connection conductor 168 instead of connecting them directly. Therefore, the manufacturing cost of rotating electric machine 110 can be reduced. The connection conductor 168 is not limited to a copper plate, and may be a conductive member such as a lead wire.

The induced voltage is generated due to the magnetic flux interlinking the coil. As described above, the first system winding 160A and the second system winding 160B have a spatial phase difference n° (=30°). Therefore, the driving device 170 applies voltages with a temporal phase difference of n° (=30°) to the first winding system 160A and the second winding system 160B.
 図8に示すように、周回巻線u12A0,u12B0には、基準位相と空間的に位相が一致する誘起電圧Vu12∠0°が発生し、周回巻線u34A0,u34B0には、基準位相と空間的に位相が一致する誘起電圧Vu34∠0°が発生し、周回巻線u56A0,u56B0には、基準位相と空間的に位相が一致する誘起電圧Vu56∠0°が発生する。また、周回巻線u12A30,u12B30には、基準位相と空間的にn°(=30°)の位相差を持つ誘起電圧Vu12∠30°が発生し、周回巻線u34A0,u34B0には、基準位相と空間的にn°(=30°)の位相差を持つ誘起電圧Vu34∠30°が発生し、周回巻線u56A0,u56B0には、基準位相と空間的にn°(=30°)の位相差を持つ誘起電圧Vu56∠30°が発生する。なお、V1相巻線、V2相巻線、W1相巻線及びW2相巻線を構成する周回巻線にも同様の誘起電圧が発生する。 As shown in FIG. 8, induced voltages Vu12∠0° spatially in phase with the reference phase are generated in the loop windings u12A0 and u12B0, and in the loop windings u34A0 and u34B0, the reference phase An induced voltage Vu34∠0° whose phase matches the reference phase is generated in the winding windings u56A0 and u56B0. In addition, an induced voltage Vu12∠30° having a spatial phase difference of n° (=30°) from the reference phase is generated in the circulation windings u12A30 and u12B30, and the reference phase and an induced voltage Vu34∠30° having a phase difference of n° (=30°) spatially is generated, and the winding windings u56A0 and u56B0 have a reference phase and a spatial position of n° (=30°) An induced voltage Vu56∠30° having a phase difference is generated. A similar induced voltage is also generated in the winding windings that constitute the V1-phase winding, the V2-phase winding, the W1-phase winding, and the W2-phase winding.
 上述したように、駆動装置170は、空間的に位相差0°の第1系統巻線160Aに時間的に位相差0°の電圧を印可し、空間的に位相差n°の第2系統巻線160Bに時間的に位相差n°の電圧を印可する。このため、第1系統巻線160Aにより形成される回路と、第2系統巻線160Bにより形成される回路とは、電圧がバランスすることになるので、循環電流の発生を防ぐことができる。 As described above, the drive device 170 applies a voltage with a temporal phase difference of 0° to the first system winding 160A with a spatial phase difference of 0°, and applies a voltage with a temporal phase difference of 0° to the second system winding with a spatial phase difference of n°. A voltage with a temporal phase difference of n° is applied to the line 160B. Therefore, the circuit formed by the first system winding 160A and the circuit formed by the second system winding 160B are balanced in voltage, so that the generation of circulating current can be prevented.
 本実施形態では、第1インバータ171Aに接続された回路に対して、第2インバータ171Bに接続された回路は、空間的に30°進み、時間的に30°進んでいる。時間的な30°の進みは、空間的には30°遅れることに等価となるため、30°-30°=0°となる。よって、第1インバータ171Aに接続された回路と第2インバータ171Bに接続された回路の電圧がバランスする。 In this embodiment, the circuit connected to the second inverter 171B is spatially 30° and temporally 30° ahead of the circuit connected to the first inverter 171A. A temporal advance of 30° is equivalent to a spatial delay of 30°, so 30°−30°=0°. Therefore, the voltages of the circuit connected to the first inverter 171A and the voltage of the circuit connected to the second inverter 171B are balanced.
 以上のように構成される本実施形態に係る電動駆動システム10によって得られる効果について、以下で説明する参考例と比較しながら説明する。本実施形態では、ステータコア131の外周側に配置された外径側コイル160oのコイル高さHo(厚み)に比べて、ステータコア131の内周側に配置された内径側コイル160ia,160ibのコイル高さHi(厚み)が小さい。この構成により、交流銅損を低減することができる。 The effects obtained by the electric drive system 10 according to this embodiment configured as described above will be described in comparison with the reference example described below. In this embodiment, compared with the coil height Ho (thickness) of the outer coil 160o arranged on the outer peripheral side of the stator core 131, the coil heights of the inner coils 160ia and 160ib arranged on the inner peripheral side of the stator core 131 Thickness Hi (thickness) is small. With this configuration, AC copper loss can be reduced.
 図9は、同じ厚みのスロット内導体161を有する回路と、異なる厚みのスロット内導体161を有する回路との構成及び効果の違いについて説明する図である。図9の上側に示す回路(以下、第1参考回路Cr1と記す)は、2つの系統巻線が並列に接続された構成であり、ステータコア131に厚みtのスロット内導体161が4つ配置されている。この構成では、1層目L1及び2層目L2において大きな交流銅損が発生する。交流銅損は、内径側に配置されるコイル導体ほど大きくなる。 FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the difference in configuration and effect between a circuit having in-slot conductors 161 with the same thickness and a circuit having in-slot conductors 161 with different thicknesses. The circuit shown on the upper side of FIG. 9 (hereinafter referred to as a first reference circuit Cr1) has a configuration in which two system windings are connected in parallel, and four in-slot conductors 161 having a thickness t are arranged in a stator core 131. ing. In this configuration, a large AC copper loss occurs in the first layer L1 and the second layer L2. The AC copper loss increases as the coil conductor is arranged on the inner diameter side.
 これに対して、図9の下側に示す回路(以下、第2参考回路Cr2と記す)は、2つの系統巻線が並列に接続された構成であり、厚みtのスロット内導体161が2つ、厚みt/2のスロット内導体161が4つ配置されている。スロット内導体161の厚みを半分にする場合、交流銅損は、(1/2)=1/16となる。内径側に配置されるスロット内導体161の厚みを半分にすることで、第1参考回路Cr1に比べて、交流銅損を大きく低減することができる。 On the other hand, the circuit shown on the lower side of FIG. , and four in-slot conductors 161 having a thickness of t/2 are arranged. When the thickness of the in-slot conductor 161 is halved, the AC copper loss is (1/2) 4 =1/16. By halving the thickness of the in-slot conductor 161 arranged on the inner diameter side, the AC copper loss can be greatly reduced compared to the first reference circuit Cr1.
 なお、第2参考回路Cr2では、スロット内導体161の本数の増加により、スロット133内におけるコイル導体の絶縁被膜の総断面積が増加する。したがって、第2参考回路Cr2では、絶縁被膜の断面積の増加分だけ、導体の断面積が減少する。その結果、コイル導体の電気抵抗が増加するため、直流銅損が増加する。しかしながら、交流銅損の低減量に比べて直流銅損の増加量は小さい。このため、第2参考回路Cr2では、第1参考回路Cr1に比べて、全銅損を低減することができる。また、各コイル導体の銅損を平準化することができる。スロット内導体161の温度も平準化されるため、ステータコイル160のピーク温度も低減することができる。本実施形態においても、内径側コイル160ia,160ibのスロット内導体161の厚みが、外径側コイル160oのスロット内導体161の厚みの半分とされているため(図3参照)、同様の効果が得られる。 In addition, in the second reference circuit Cr2, the total cross-sectional area of the insulating coating of the coil conductors in the slot 133 increases as the number of the in-slot conductors 161 increases. Therefore, in the second reference circuit Cr2, the cross-sectional area of the conductor decreases by the increase in the cross-sectional area of the insulating coating. As a result, the electrical resistance of the coil conductor increases, which increases DC copper loss. However, the amount of increase in DC copper loss is smaller than the amount of reduction in AC copper loss. Therefore, the total copper loss can be reduced in the second reference circuit Cr2 as compared with the first reference circuit Cr1. Moreover, the copper loss of each coil conductor can be leveled. Since the temperature of the in-slot conductor 161 is also leveled, the peak temperature of the stator coil 160 can also be reduced. Also in the present embodiment, the thickness of the in-slot conductors 161 of the inner coils 160ia and 160ib is half the thickness of the in-slot conductors 161 of the outer coil 160o (see FIG. 3). can get.
 第1参考回路Cr1は、2Y結線とされ、電源の電流400Aに対して各相巻線に通電される電流は1/2の200Aとなる。一方、第2参考回路Cr2では、内径側のスロット内導体161の厚みがt/2である。したがって、内径側コイル160ia,160ibにより形成される周回巻線の電流密度を、外径側コイル160oと同等とするためには、内径側コイル160ia,160ibに流れる電流を1/4の100Aにする必要がある。このため、第2参考回路Cr2では、内径側コイル160ia,160ibにより形成される回路Ciが、並列に接続されることで並列回路Cpが形成されている。 The first reference circuit Cr1 has a 2Y connection, and the current supplied to each phase winding is 200A, which is half of the current 400A of the power supply. On the other hand, in the second reference circuit Cr2, the thickness of the in-slot conductor 161 on the inner diameter side is t/2. Therefore, in order to make the current density of the winding formed by the inner diameter side coils 160ia and 160ib equivalent to that of the outer diameter side coil 160o, the current flowing through the inner diameter side coils 160ia and 160ib is reduced to 100 A, which is 1/4. There is a need. Therefore, in the second reference circuit Cr2, the parallel circuit Cp is formed by connecting the circuits Ci formed by the inner diameter side coils 160ia and 160ib in parallel.
 第2参考回路Cr2では、各並列回路Cpにおいてコイル導体の誘起電圧がバランスしない場合に循環電流が発生する。図10を参照して、循環電流が発生する並列回路Cp3と、循環電流の発生が防止された並列回路Cp4について説明する。図10の上側に示す回路(以下、第3参考回路Cr3と記す)は、第2参考回路Cr2と同様の構成を有する。第3参考回路Cr3は、1層目L1及び2層目L2に配置される複数の周回巻線Cw12が直列に接続された直列回路と、3層目L3及び4層目L4に配置される複数の周回巻線Cw34が直列に接続された直列回路とが並列に接続された並列回路Cp3を有する。 In the second reference circuit Cr2, a circulating current is generated when the induced voltages of the coil conductors are not balanced in each parallel circuit Cp. A parallel circuit Cp3 in which a circulating current is generated and a parallel circuit Cp4 in which the generation of a circulating current is prevented will be described with reference to FIG. The circuit shown on the upper side of FIG. 10 (hereinafter referred to as the third reference circuit Cr3) has the same configuration as the second reference circuit Cr2. The third reference circuit Cr3 includes a series circuit in which a plurality of circular windings Cw12 arranged on the first layer L1 and the second layer L2 are connected in series, and a plurality of windings arranged on the third layer L3 and the fourth layer L4. A parallel circuit Cp3 is connected in parallel with a series circuit in which the winding windings Cw34 of are connected in series.
 スロット133が平行スロットである場合、ティース134はコアバック135から回転中心軸Caに向かうにつれて周方向の幅が短くなる先細り形状となっている。ティース134の周方向の幅が異なることで磁気飽和が異なる。ティース134の周方向の幅が大きいほど、磁束が通りやすくなるため誘起電圧が大きくなる。つまり、1層目L1及び2層目L2に配置される周回巻線に発生する誘起電圧Vu12、3層目L3及び4層目L4に配置される周回巻線に発生する誘起電圧Vu34、並びに、5層目L5及び6層目L6に配置される周回巻線に発生する誘起電圧Vu56の大小関係は、Vu56>Vu34>Vu12となる。このため、第3参考回路Cr3では、並列回路Cp3において、電圧のアンバランスが生じ、循環電流が発生する。 When the slots 133 are parallel slots, the teeth 134 have a tapered shape in which the width in the circumferential direction decreases from the core back 135 toward the rotation center axis Ca. The magnetic saturation is different because the teeth 134 have different widths in the circumferential direction. As the width of the teeth 134 in the circumferential direction increases, the magnetic flux is easier to pass through and the induced voltage increases. That is, the induced voltage Vu12 generated in the windings arranged in the first layer L1 and the second layer L2, the induced voltage Vu34 generated in the windings arranged in the third layer L3 and the fourth layer L4, and The magnitude relationship of the induced voltage Vu56 generated in the loop windings arranged in the fifth layer L5 and the sixth layer L6 is Vu56>Vu34>Vu12. Therefore, in the third reference circuit Cr3, a voltage imbalance occurs in the parallel circuit Cp3, and a circulating current is generated.
 図10の下側に示す回路(以下、第4参考回路Cr4と記す)は、第2参考回路Cr2と同様の構成を有する。第4参考回路Cr4は、1層目L1及び2層目L2に配置される周回巻線Cw12と3層目L3及び4層目L4に配置される周回巻線Cw34が直列に接続された直列回路同士が、並列に接続された並列回路Cp4を有する。 The circuit shown on the lower side of FIG. 10 (hereinafter referred to as the fourth reference circuit Cr4) has the same configuration as the second reference circuit Cr2. The fourth reference circuit Cr4 is a series circuit in which the circular windings Cw12 arranged on the first layer L1 and the second layer L2 and the circular windings Cw34 arranged on the third layer L3 and the fourth layer L4 are connected in series. have a parallel circuit Cp4 connected in parallel.
 以下、U1相巻線により形成される並列回路Cp4の構成を代表して説明する。第4参考回路Cr4では、並列回路Cp4を構成する一方の直列回路の1層目L1及び2層目L2に配置される周回巻線Cw12の数と、並列回路Cp4を構成する他方の直列回路の1層目L1及び2層目L2に配置される周回巻線Cw12の数とが同じである。また、第4参考回路Cr4では、並列回路Cp4を構成する一方の直列回路の3層目L3及び4層目L4に配置される周回巻線Cw34の数と、並列回路Cp4を構成する他方の直列回路の3層目L3及び4層目L4に配置される周回巻線Cw34の数とが同じである。なお、U2相巻線、V1相巻線、V2相巻線、W1相巻線及びW2相巻線の回路構成は、U1相巻線と同様の回路構成である。したがって、第4参考回路Cr4では、内径側コイル160ia,160ibにより形成された並列回路Cp4での電圧がバランスするため、循環電流の発生が防止される。本実施形態に係る第2回路C12,C22(図5参照)は、第4参考回路Cr4の並列回路Cp4と同様の構成であるため、同様の効果が得られる。 The configuration of the parallel circuit Cp4 formed by the U1-phase winding will be described below as a representative. In the fourth reference circuit Cr4, the number of winding windings Cw12 arranged in the first layer L1 and the second layer L2 of one of the series circuits constituting the parallel circuit Cp4 and the number of the other series circuit constituting the parallel circuit Cp4 are The number of winding windings Cw12 arranged in the first layer L1 and the second layer L2 is the same. Further, in the fourth reference circuit Cr4, the number of winding windings Cw34 arranged in the third layer L3 and the fourth layer L4 of one of the series circuits constituting the parallel circuit Cp4 and the number of the winding windings Cw34 arranged in the other series circuit constituting the parallel circuit Cp4 The number of winding windings Cw34 arranged on the third layer L3 and the fourth layer L4 of the circuit is the same. The circuit configurations of the U2-phase winding, the V1-phase winding, the V2-phase winding, the W1-phase winding, and the W2-phase winding are similar to that of the U1-phase winding. Therefore, in the fourth reference circuit Cr4, the voltage in the parallel circuit Cp4 formed by the inner diameter side coils 160ia and 160ib is balanced, thereby preventing the generation of circulating current. Since the second circuits C12 and C22 (see FIG. 5) according to the present embodiment have the same configuration as the parallel circuit Cp4 of the fourth reference circuit Cr4, similar effects can be obtained.
 図11を参照して、第1系統巻線と第2系統巻線との間で循環電流が発生する回路と、第1系統巻線と第2系統巻線との間で循環電流の発生が防止された回路について説明する。図11の上側に示す第4参考回路Cr4では、空間位相0°の第1系統巻線160Acによる回路と、空間位相30°の第2系統巻線160Bcによる回路とが並列に接続された並列回路が形成されている。このため、第1系統巻線160Acによる回路と第2系統巻線160Bcによる回路との間に電圧のアンバランスが発生し、循環電流が発生する。 Referring to FIG. 11, a circuit in which a circulating current is generated between the first system winding and the second system winding, and a circuit in which a circulating current is generated between the first system winding and the second system winding. Prevented circuits are described. In the fourth reference circuit Cr4 shown on the upper side of FIG. 11, a parallel circuit in which a circuit of the first system winding 160Ac with a spatial phase of 0° and a circuit of the second system winding 160Bc with a spatial phase of 30° are connected in parallel. is formed. Therefore, a voltage imbalance occurs between the circuit formed by the first system winding 160Ac and the circuit formed by the second system winding 160Bc, and a circulating current is generated.
 これに対して、図11の下側に示す本実施形態に係る回路では、空間位相0°の第1系統巻線160Aによる回路と、空間位相30°の第2系統巻線160Bによる回路とが独立しており、それぞれが異なるインバータに接続されている。また、空間位相30°の第2系統巻線160Bに通電する電源電圧に時間的に30°の位相差が与えられる。これにより、本実施形態では、第1系統巻線160Aによる回路と第2系統巻線160Bによる回路の電圧がバランスするため、循環電流の発生を防止することができる。つまり、第1系統巻線160Aによる回路と第2系統巻線160Bによる回路との間に電流差が生じることを防止できる。 On the other hand, in the circuit according to the present embodiment shown on the lower side of FIG. 11, the circuit by the first system winding 160A with a spatial phase of 0° and the circuit by the second system winding 160B with a spatial phase of 30° are provided. Independent and each connected to a different inverter. In addition, a temporal phase difference of 30° is given to the power supply voltage applied to the second system winding 160B having a spatial phase of 30°. As a result, in the present embodiment, the voltages of the circuit formed by the first system winding 160A and the voltage of the circuit formed by the second system winding 160B are balanced, so that the occurrence of circulating current can be prevented. That is, it is possible to prevent a current difference from occurring between the circuit formed by the first system winding 160A and the circuit formed by the second system winding 160B.

 図14の左側のトルク波形図は、変形例1-1に係る回転電機110のトルク波形図であり、図14の右側のトルク波形図は、変形例1-2に係る回転電機110のトルク波形図である。変形例1-2では、第1回路C11,C21と第2回路C12,C22に空間的な位相差30°を持たせているため、トルク脈動の6次成分が180°(=6×30°)の位相差を持っている。つまり、第1回路C11,C21の磁束によるトルク波形と第2回路C12,C22の磁束によるトルク波形とが反転する。これにより、第1回路C11,C21の磁束によるトルク脈動と、第2回路C12,C22の磁束によるトルク脈動とが相殺される。したがって、本変形例1-2(図13参照)では、変形例1-1(図12参照)に比べて、回転電機110の合計トルクのトルク脈動を低減することができる。その結果、回転電機110で発生する音、振動を低減することができる。 The torque waveform diagram on the left side of FIG. 14 is a torque waveform diagram of the rotating electrical machine 110 according to the modification 1-1, and the torque waveform diagram on the right side of FIG. 14 is the torque waveform of the rotating electrical machine 110 according to the modification 1-2. It is a diagram. In modification 1-2, since the first circuits C11, C21 and the second circuits C12, C22 have a spatial phase difference of 30°, the sixth-order component of the torque ripple is 180° (=6×30° ). That is, the torque waveform due to the magnetic fluxes of the first circuits C11 and C21 and the torque waveform due to the magnetic fluxes of the second circuits C12 and C22 are inverted. As a result, the torque pulsation caused by the magnetic fluxes of the first circuits C11 and C21 and the torque pulsation caused by the magnetic fluxes of the second circuits C12 and C22 are offset. Therefore, in this modified example 1-2 (see FIG. 13), torque pulsation of the total torque of rotating electric machine 110 can be reduced compared to modified example 1-1 (see FIG. 12). As a result, it is possible to reduce the noise and vibration generated in rotating electric machine 110 .
