In addition, in the present disclosure, the power module 30 further includes at least one intermediate member 36 between the base member 34 and the substrate 35.

Specifically, in the present disclosure, the stator module 20A and the power module 30 are arranged on the same axis with the motor rotation axis O as a common central axis. Furthermore, in the present disclosure, the stator module 20A is arranged on one side in the motor rotation axis direction, and the power module 30 is arranged on the other side in the motor rotation axis direction. That is, in the present disclosure, "arranged in a position aligned in the motor rotation axis direction" means that the stator module 20A and the power module 30 are adjacent to each other in the motor rotation axis direction with the motor rotation axis O as the central axis. It means that they are placed in a matching position.

Further, the stator module 20A is attached to one side of the base member 34 in the motor rotation axis direction. On the other hand, the upper and lower arm device set 31 of the power module 30 is attached to the other side of the base member 34 in the motor rotation axis direction.

Examples of the attachment means include adhesive means such as adhesive, fastening elements such as screws, and welding.

On the other hand, in the present disclosure, the upper and lower arm device set 31 is attached to at least the other surface of the base member 34 in the motor rotation axis direction via the base 35.

Thereby, the power module 30 can be arranged at a position adjacent to the stator module 20A in the direction of the motor rotation axis, as shown in FIG. Moreover, by disposing the power module 30 at a position adjacent to the stator module 20A in the direction of the motor rotation axis, the power module 30 can be housed inside the motor case 2c together with the stator module 20A. . Therefore, the motor system 1A is a motor system that is downsized by incorporating the power module 30 inside the motor 2, as shown in FIG.

Furthermore, according to the motor system 1A of the present disclosure, the wiring between the stator module 20A and the power module 30 (conductor 5 ) can be shortened. In addition, as the wiring (conductor wire 5) between the stator module 20A and the power module 30 is shortened, the motor system becomes more resistant to external noise. Furthermore, since the wiring (conducting wire 5) between the stator module 20A and the power module 30 is shortened, incorrect wiring during wiring work can be reduced.

In particular, as is clear from FIGS. 3 and 7, in the present disclosure, one phase stator module 201 and the phase power module 301 corresponding to the one phase stator module 201 are different from each other when viewed from the motor rotation axis direction. , are arranged in positions aligned with each other in the circumferential direction around the motor rotation axis O.

In the present disclosure, "arranging the stator module 20A and the power module 30 in mutually aligned positions in the circumferential direction around the motor rotation axis O when viewed from the motor rotation axis direction" means that the stator module 20A and the power module 30 are One phase stator module 201 and a phase power module 301 corresponding to the one phase stator module 201 are arranged at positions adjacent to each other in the direction of the motor rotation axis with axis O as the center axis. When viewed from the direction of the rotation axis, they are arranged at overlapping positions in the circumferential direction around the motor rotation axis O. In this case, one phase stator module 201 and the upper and lower arm device set 31 corresponding to the one phase stator module 201 are mutually arranged with the base member 34 in between in the circumferential direction around the motor rotation axis O. It will be placed almost directly behind it. As a specific example, as shown in FIG. 9, the U-phase stator module 201U and the U-phase upper and lower arm device set 31U are located almost directly behind each other with the base member 34 in between in the circumferential direction around the motor rotation axis O. It will be placed at the position of

One phase stator module 201 and the phase power module 301 corresponding to the one phase stator module 201 are in a position where they are aligned with each other in the circumferential direction around the motor rotation axis O when viewed from the motor rotation axis direction. When arranged, the wiring (conductor wire 5) between the phase stator module 201 and the upper and lower arm device set 31 corresponding to the one phase stator module 201 can be made the shortest. In addition, since the wiring (conductor wire 5) is the shortest, the motor system becomes more resistant to external noise. Furthermore, as the wiring (conducting wire 5) becomes shorter, incorrect wiring during wiring work can be further reduced.

Additionally, as described above, the stator module 20A can be divided into phases. Specifically, as described above, the stator module 20A can be divided into a plurality of phase stator modules 201 in the circumferential direction around the motor rotation axis O. In this case, when laying out the phase stator modules 201 according to each phase in the stator module 20A, the layout regarding the arrangement of the phase stator modules 201 can be freely changed. In addition, phase-by-phase maintenance is also easier in this case.

Similarly, the power module 30 can also be divided into phases as described above. Specifically, as described above, the power module 30 can also be divided into a plurality of phase power modules 301 in the circumferential direction around the motor rotation axis O. In this case, when laying out the upper and lower arm device sets 31 according to each phase in the power module 30, the layout regarding the arrangement of the upper and lower device arm sets 31 can be freely changed. In addition, phase-by-phase maintenance is also easier in this case.

As a specific example of the case where at least one of the stator module 20A and the power module 30 is divided, as shown in FIG. By combining Tauchi's U-phase power module 301U, the phase stator module 201 and phase power module 301 of the same phase can be easily arranged at positions almost directly behind each other with the base member 34U in between. .

Further, referring to FIG. 2, in the present disclosure, the power module control unit 40 is located on the opposite side of the stator module 20A with the power module 30 in between (in the present disclosure, the other side in the motor rotation axis direction). side).

In the present disclosure, the power module control unit 40 is disposed inside the motor case 2c at the other end in the motor rotation axis direction. The power module control unit 40 includes control hardware 41 such as a microcomputer and an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array). In the present disclosure, the power module control section 40 includes, in addition to control hardware 41, a printed circuit board 42 to which the control hardware 41 is attached. Further, in the present disclosure, the power module control section 40 is connected to the power module 30 by a communication cable 37.

When the power module control section 40 is disposed at a position on the other side of the motor rotation axis direction with the power module 30 interposed therebetween, the power module control section 40 is placed in a position on the other side of the motor rotation axis direction, with the power module 30 interposed therebetween. It can be arranged at a position adjacent to the power module 30 in the direction. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 2, the power module control section 40 can also be housed inside the motor case 2c. Therefore, the motor system 1A becomes a motor system that is further miniaturized by incorporating the power module control section 40 inside the motor 2, as shown in FIG.

Furthermore, when the power module control section 40 is placed at a position on the other side in the motor rotation axis direction with the power module 30 interposed therebetween, the wiring between the power module 30 and the power module control section 40 ( The communication cable 37) can be shortened. In addition, since the wiring (communication cable 37) is shortened, the motor system becomes more resistant to external noise. Furthermore, since the wiring (communication cable 37) is shortened, incorrect wiring during wiring work can be reduced.

In FIG. 11, the power module control section 40 is schematically shown from one side in the direction of the motor rotation axis.

In the present disclosure, the power module control unit 40 includes a plurality of control hardware 41 and an annular printed circuit board 42 to which these control hardware 41 are attached. In the present disclosure, the control hardware 41 includes, for example, a microcomputer 41a and an FPGA 41b.

Furthermore, in the present disclosure, the power module control unit 40 is provided with a U-phase connector 37U4, a V-phase connector 37V4, and a W-phase connector 37W4 on the printed circuit board 42. One terminal of the U-phase communication cable 37 is connected to the U-phase connector 37W3 of the U-phase power module 301U in FIG. 7, and the other terminal of the U-phase communication cable 37 is connected to the U-phase connector 37U4 in FIG. connected to. Similarly, one terminal of the V-phase communication cable 37 is connected to the V-phase connector 37V3 of the V-phase power module 301V in FIG. 7, and the other terminal of the V-phase communication cable 37 is connected to the V-phase connector 37V3 in FIG. Connected to phase connector 37V4. One terminal of the W-phase communication cable 37 is connected to the W-phase connector 37W3 of the W-phase power module 301W in FIG. 7, and the other terminal of the W-phase communication cable 37 is connected to the W-phase connector 37W4 in FIG. Connected.

In particular, as is clear from FIGS. 7 and 11, in the present disclosure, the U-phase connector 37U3, V-phase connector 37V3, and W-phase connector 37W3 of the power module 30, and the U-phase connector 37U4, V When the phase connector 37V4 and the W-phase connector 37W4 face each other in the motor rotation axis direction, they are arranged in positions that are aligned with each other in the circumferential direction around the motor rotation axis O. In this case, the phase connector of the power module and the phase connector of the power module control section are arranged at positions substantially facing each other in the circumferential direction around the motor rotation axis O. In this case, the wiring (communication cable 37) between the power module 30 and the power module control section 40 can be made the shortest. In addition, since the wiring between the power module 30 and the power module control unit 40 is the shortest, the motor system becomes more resistant to external noise. Furthermore, as the wiring between the power module 30 and the power module control unit 40 becomes shorter, incorrect wiring during wiring work can be further reduced.

FIG. 12 schematically shows the basic circuit configuration included in the motor system 1A and the relationship among the stator module 20A, power module 30, and power module control section 40 in the motor system 1A.

It includes an inverter circuit formed by three upper and lower arm device sets 31. In the present disclosure, each of the upper arm and lower arm of the inverter circuit is controlled by a gate drive signal from the power module control section 40. In the present disclosure, the rotational position of the motor shaft 2d of the motor 2 is fed back to the power module control unit 40 using a Hall IC signal or an encoder signal.

A DC power supply or an AC power supply can be used as the power supply connected to the inverter circuit. That is, the drive circuit for driving the motor 2 can use either a direct current inverter (DC/AC converter) or an alternating current inverter (AC/AC converter).

As described above, in the present disclosure, the motor 2 is a brushless three-phase AC motor with the number of poles P and the number of slots S. In the motor 2, the number of poles P and the number of slots S satisfy the following relational expressions (1) and (2).

P=3n±1 (n: positive odd number excluding 1)...(1)
S=3n (n: positive odd number excluding 1)...(2)

A brushless three-phase AC motor that satisfies the conditions (1) and (2) above falls under a type called "Series II". In the series II brushless three-phase AC motor, each of the three phases, U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase, can be divided into a range of 120 degrees in the circumferential direction around the motor rotation axis O. In this case, when laying out the phase stator modules 201 corresponding to each phase of U phase, V phase, and W phase in stator module 20A, for any one phase of U phase, V phase, and W phase, It is not necessary to configure two or more phase stator modules 201 to correspond to each other, but it is possible to correspond by configuring only one phase stator module 201. Thereby, it is possible to easily lay out phase stator modules 201 corresponding to each phase, U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase, in the stator module 20A. In addition, in the series II brushless three-phase AC motor, an odd number of phase slots (phase coils) can be arranged in each of the three phases: U phase, V phase, and W phase.

As described above, the motor 2 of the present disclosure is an 8P9S brushless three-phase AC motor, which is a representative example of Series II.

In FIG. 13, the rotor 2b (motor shaft 2d) of the motor 2 in the motor system 1A is shown with reference to the period (one rotation period) Tm until the rotor 2b (motor shaft 2d) of the motor 2 makes one rotation in the circumferential direction around the motor rotation axis O. The relationship between the arrangement of the magnetic poles (N, S) of the stator module 2b and the arrangement of the coil 24 (teeth 22) of the stator module 20A is schematically shown together with the power module 301 of each phase. In addition, in FIG. 13, the symbols "U", "V", and "W" are the coils 24 (teeth 22) of each phase, and the symbols "+" and "-" are the coils 24, as described above. Indicates the winding direction.

It turns out that you can.

That is, in the present disclosure, the stator module 20A is constituted by a plurality of phase stator modules 201 that are divided into phases in the circumferential direction around the motor rotation axis O, and has upper and lower arm devices corresponding to each phase. The set 31 and the corresponding phase stator module 201 are a pair.

Specifically, in the U phase, the U phase upper and lower arm device set 31U and the corresponding U phase stator module 201U are paired. Further, in the V-phase, the V-phase upper and lower arm device set 31V and the corresponding V-phase stator module 201V form a pair. Furthermore, in the W-phase, the W-phase upper and lower arm device set 31W and the corresponding W-phase stator module 201W form a pair.

As in the present disclosure, if the upper and lower arm device set 31 corresponding to each phase and the corresponding phase stator module 201 are paired, as described above, the phase stator module 201 and the one phase stator module 201 The wiring (conducting wire 5) between the corresponding upper and lower arm device set 31 can be made the shortest. In addition, since the wiring (conductor wire 5) is the shortest, the motor system becomes more resistant to external noise. Furthermore, as the wiring (conducting wire 5) becomes shorter, incorrect wiring during wiring work can be further reduced.

However, the motor 2 can be a brushless three-phase AC motor in which the number of poles P and the number of slots S satisfy the following relationships (3) and (4). This brushless three-phase AC motor falls under a type called "Series III." A typical example of series III is a 10P12S (n=2) brushless three-phase AC motor.

P=6n±2 (n: even number)...(3)
S=6n (n: even number)...(4)

Further, the motor 2 can be a brushless three-phase AC motor in which the number of poles P and the number of slots S satisfy the relationship of P:S=4:3. This brushless three-phase AC motor falls under a type called "Series I." A typical example of series I is a 6P9S brushless three-phase AC motor.

Next, FIG. 15 schematically shows a motor system 1B according to a second embodiment of the present invention in a cross section including the motor rotation axis O.

In the present disclosure, the motor 2 is a radial gap motor. In the present disclosure, the teeth 27 of the stator 2a extend in a direction perpendicular to the motor rotation axis direction (hereinafter also referred to as the motor radial direction).

In the present disclosure, the stator 2a includes one stator module 20B. Like the motor system 1A, the stator module 20B is a stator module in which a coil 24 is wound around a plurality of teeth 27 arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction around the motor rotation axis O.

In the present disclosure, the stator module 20B includes a plurality of teeth 27 arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction around the motor rotation axis O, and a ring core 28 in which the plurality of teeth 27 are provided. In the present disclosure, the ring core 28 is an annular ring core disposed at a position whose center axis is the motor rotation axis O. In the present disclosure, the ring core 28 includes an outer ring core 28a and an inner ring core 28b. In the present disclosure, the teeth 27 are arranged between the outer ring core 28a and the inner ring core 28b, and are coupled to each of the outer ring core 28a and the inner ring core 28b. Further, in the present disclosure, the teeth 27 and the ring core 28 are integrally formed, and form one core block 21 similarly to the stator module 20A. Therefore, also in the present disclosure, the core block 21 as a whole functions as a yoke.

Also in the present disclosure, each coil 24 is wound around one tooth 27 by concentrated winding. In the present disclosure, stator module 20B also includes nine teeth 27, similar to stator module 20A. That is, in the present disclosure, stator module 20B also includes nine coils 24, like stator module 20A.

On the other hand, in the present disclosure, the rotor 2b is arranged at a position adjacent to the stator module 20A in the motor rotation axis direction. In the present disclosure, the rotor 2b is arranged at a position on one side of the motor rotation axis direction than the stator module 20B. However, in the present disclosure, the rotor main body 2b1 is formed so as to circumferentially surround the stator module 20B from the outside in the radial direction around the motor rotation axis O.

In the present disclosure, the rotor main body 2b1 is a cylindrical rotor main body with a bottom, disposed at a position with the motor rotation axis O as the central axis. The rotor main body two b1 includes a cylindrical main body part two b11 and a bottom part two b12 that closes one end of the cylindrical main body part two b11. The plurality of permanent magnets 2b2 are respectively attached to the inner circumferential surface of the cylindrical main body part 2b11 at intervals in the circumferential direction around the motor rotation axis O. The plurality of permanent magnets 2b2 are arranged such that circumferentially adjacent permanent magnets 2b2 have different magnetic poles (N, S). In the present disclosure, the rotor 2b includes eight permanent magnets 2b2 similarly to the motor system 1A. That is, in the present disclosure, the rotor 2b is also a rotor with eight poles (P=8).

Also in the present disclosure, the power module 30 includes a plurality of upper and lower arm device sets 31 and a base member 34 to which the upper and lower arm device sets 31 are attached. Also in the present disclosure, the power module 30 includes three upper and lower arm device sets 31. However, in the present disclosure, the base member 34 is different from the motor system 1A.

In the present disclosure, the base member 34 includes an annular plate portion 34a and a cylindrical portion 34b continuous to the annular plate portion 34a. In the present disclosure, the cylindrical portion 34b protrudes from one surface of the annular plate portion 34a in the motor rotation axis direction. In the present disclosure, the base member 34 is arranged at a position with the motor rotation axis O as the central axis. In the present disclosure, the annular plate portion 34a is formed of a thin plate. In the present disclosure, the three upper and lower arm device sets 31 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction around the motor rotation axis O on the other side of the annular plate portion 34a in the motor rotation axis direction.

Also in the present disclosure, the stator module 20B and the power module 30 are arranged at positions aligned in the motor rotation axis direction.

Specifically, also in the present disclosure, the stator module 20B and the power module 30 are arranged on the same axis with the motor rotation axis O as a common central axis. Furthermore, in the present disclosure as well, the stator module 20B is arranged on one side in the motor rotation axis direction, and the power module 30 is arranged on the other side in the motor rotation axis direction. That is, in the present disclosure, "arranged in a position aligned in the motor rotation axis direction" means that the stator module 20B and the power module 30 are adjacent to each other in the motor rotation axis direction with the motor rotation axis O as the center axis. It means that they are placed in a matching position.

Furthermore, like the motor system 1A, the stator module 20B is also attached to one side of the base member 34 in the motor rotation axis direction. However, in the present disclosure, the stator module 20B is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 34b of the base member 34. On the other hand, the upper and lower arm device set 31 of the power module 30 is also attached to the other side of the base member 34 in the motor rotation axis direction. However, in the present disclosure, the upper and lower arm device set 31 is attached to the other surface of the annular plate portion 34a of the base member 34 in the motor rotation axis direction.

The motor system 1B of the present disclosure also shares the base member 34 of the power module 30, so that in addition to the upper and lower arm device set 31, the stator module 20B of the motor 2 is integrated into the base member 34 of the power module 30. are combined in a specific manner. Thereby, the power module 30 can be arranged at a position adjacent to the stator module 20A in the direction of the motor rotation axis, as shown in FIG. 15. Further, by arranging the power module 30 at a position adjacent to the stator module 20B in the direction of the motor rotation axis, the power module 30 can be housed inside the motor case 2c together with the stator module 20B. . Therefore, the motor system 1B is also a motor system that is downsized by incorporating the power module 30 inside the motor 2, as shown in FIG.

Also, with the motor system 1B of the present disclosure, the wiring (conducting wire 5) between the stator module 20B and the power module 30 is can be shortened. In addition, as the wiring (conductor wire 5) between the stator module 20B and the power module 30 is shortened, the motor system becomes more resistant to external noise. Furthermore, since the wiring (conducting wire 5) between the stator module 20B and the power module 30 is shortened, incorrect wiring during wiring work can be reduced.

In FIG. 16, the stator module 20 provided in the motor system 1B is schematically shown from one side in the direction of the motor rotation axis, with the stator module 20 attached to the base member 34.

Referring to FIG. 16, in the present disclosure, the stator module 20B is also constituted by a plurality of phase stator modules 201 divided into phases in the circumferential direction around the motor rotation axis O. Further, in the present disclosure, the power module 30 is also constituted by a plurality of phase power modules 301 divided into phases in the circumferential direction around the motor rotation axis.

Referring to FIG. 16, in the present disclosure, the stator module 20B is also divided into three phase stator modules 201 at intervals of 120 degrees around the motor rotation axis O. Also in the present disclosure, as shown in FIG. 16, the three phase stator modules 201 are arranged counterclockwise around the motor rotation axis O when viewed from one side in the motor rotation axis direction: the U-phase stator module 201U, The V-phase stator module 201V and the W-phase stator module 201W are arranged in this order.

Further, FIG. 17 schematically shows one of the plurality of phase stator modules 201 forming the stator module 20B provided in the motor system 1B from one side in the motor rotation axis direction.

FIG. 17 exemplarily shows a U-phase stator module 201U. As shown in FIG. 17, also in the present disclosure, the annular stator module 20B can be divided into three phase stator modules 201 at intervals of 120 degrees around the motor rotation axis O. Also in the present disclosure, the V-phase stator module 201V and the W-phase stator module 201W differ only in the types of phase currents supplied, and the configurations of the V-phase stator module 201V and the W-phase stator module 201W are as shown in FIG. This is the same as No. 17 U-phase stator module 201U.

Further, FIG. 18 schematically shows a phase core block 210 forming the phase stator module 201 of FIG. 17 from the direction of the motor rotation axis. FIG. 18 shows a state in which the U-phase coil 24U is removed from the phase stator module 201U of FIG. 17.

Also in the present disclosure, the core block 21 is divided into three phase core blocks 210 at intervals of 120 degrees around the motor rotation axis O. Specifically, in the present disclosure as well, the core block 21 is configured by three phase core blocks 210: a U-phase core block 210U, a V-phase core block 210V, and a W-phase core block 210W.

As shown in FIG. 18, in the present disclosure, the core block 21 can be divided into three phase core blocks 210 at intervals of 120 degrees around the motor rotation axis O. The V-phase core block 210V and the W-phase core block 210W differ only in the types of phase coils wound around them, and the configurations of the V-phase core block 210V and W-phase core block 210W are the same as the U-phase core block 210U in FIG. be.

Also in the present disclosure, the power module 30 has three upper and lower arm device sets 31, and each of the three upper and lower arm device sets 31 has the same arrangement as in FIG. 7 when viewed from the other side in the motor rotation axis direction. It is attached to the other surface of the annular plate portion 34a of the base member 34 in the motor rotation axis direction.

Therefore, as shown in FIG. 16, the stator module 20B is constituted by a plurality of phase stator modules 201 that are divided into phases in the circumferential direction around the motor rotation axis O, and as shown in FIG. , if the power module 30 is constituted by a plurality of phase power modules 301 partitioned into phases in the circumferential direction around the motor rotation axis O, the coil 24 and the upper and lower arm device set 31 can be combined as in the motor system 1A. , can be easily related to each phase. Accordingly, in the present disclosure, the conducting wire 5 connecting the coil 24 of one phase stator module 201 and the upper and lower arm device set 31 corresponding to the coil 24 can be easily wired for each phase. As a specific example, the conductor wire 5U connecting the phase coils (24U-, 24U+, 24U-) of the U-phase stator module 201U and the U-phase upper and lower arm device set 31U can be easily wired as a U-phase set. be able to. In addition, also in the present disclosure, since the stator module 20B and the power module 30 are configured for each phase, maintenance for each phase is also facilitated.

Particularly, as is clear from FIGS. 16 and 7, in the present disclosure, one phase stator module 201 and the phase power module 301 corresponding to the one phase stator module 201 are used for the motor system 1A as well as the motor system 1A. When viewed from the rotational axis direction, they are arranged at positions aligned with each other in the circumferential direction around the motor rotational axis O. Also in the present disclosure, "arranged in positions aligned with each other in the circumferential direction around the motor rotation axis O when viewed from the motor rotation axis direction" means that the stator module 20B and the power module 30 are mutually aligned with each other in the circumferential direction around the motor rotation axis O. One phase stator module 201 and a phase power module 301 corresponding to the one phase stator module 201 are arranged at positions adjacent to each other in the direction of the motor rotation axis with the rotation axis O as the center axis. When viewed from the direction of the motor rotation axis, they are arranged at overlapping positions in the circumferential direction around the motor rotation axis O. In this case, in the present disclosure as well, like the motor system 1A, one phase stator module 201 and the upper and lower arm device set 31 corresponding to the one phase stator module 201 are arranged around the motor rotation axis O. In this direction, they are arranged at positions substantially directly behind each other with the base member 34 in between. As a specific example, as shown in FIG. 19, the U-phase stator module 201U and the U-phase upper and lower arm device set 31U sandwich the annular plate portion 34a of the base member 34 in the circumferential direction around the motor rotation axis O. Therefore, they are placed almost directly behind each other. In this case, the wiring (conductor wire 5) between the phase stator module 201 and the upper and lower arm device set 31 corresponding to the one phase stator module 201 can be made the shortest. In addition, since the wiring (conductor wire 5) is the shortest, the motor system becomes more resistant to external noise. Furthermore, as the wiring (conducting wire 5) becomes shorter, incorrect wiring during wiring work can be further reduced.

Further, as described above, the stator module 20B can also be divided into phases as shown in FIG. 17. Also in this case, when laying out the phase stator modules 201 corresponding to each phase in the stator module 20A, the layout regarding the arrangement of the phase stator modules 201 can be freely changed, as in the motor system 1A. . In addition, in this case, also in the present disclosure, maintenance for each phase becomes easier.

Similarly, the power module 30 can also be divided into phases as described above. Specifically, as described above, the power module 30 can also be divided into a plurality of phase power modules 301 in the circumferential direction around the motor rotation axis O. Also in this case, similarly to the motor system 1A, when laying out the upper and lower arm device sets 31 according to each phase in the power module 30, the layout regarding the arrangement of the upper and lower arm device sets 31 can be freely changed. In addition, in this case, also in the present disclosure, maintenance for each phase becomes easier.

As a specific example of dividing at least one of the stator module 20B and the power module 30, as shown in FIG. By combining the U-phase power module 301U with the U-phase power module 301U, the phase stator module 201 and phase power module 301 of the same phase can be easily positioned almost directly behind each other with the annular plate portion 34a of the base member 34U sandwiched between them. can be placed.

Note that in the present disclosure, the power module control section 40 also has the same configuration as in FIG. 11. Therefore, the motor system 1B also becomes a motor system that is further miniaturized by incorporating the power module control section 40 inside the motor 2, as shown in FIG. Also in the present disclosure, the wiring (communication cable 37) between the power module 30 and the power module control section 40 can be shortened, similar to the motor system 1A. In addition, in the present disclosure as well, the shorter the wiring (communication cable 37), the greater the motor system's resistance to external noise. Furthermore, in the present disclosure as well, incorrect wiring during wiring work can be reduced by the length of the wiring (communication cable 37).

The motor 2 of the present disclosure is also a brushless three-phase AC motor with the number of poles P and the number of slots S. In the motor 2, the number of poles P and the number of slots S satisfy the following relational expressions (1) and (2).

P=3n±1 (n: positive odd number excluding 1)...(1)
S=3n (n: positive odd number excluding 1)...(2)
