Abstract
A non-load-end end frame is housed and held in a non-load-end end-frame-holding portion of a frame in an internally fitted state, and recessed grooves that have groove directions in an axial direction are recessed into an outer circumferential surface of the non-load-end end frame. A stator coil and alternating-current terminals of an inverter apparatus are connected using connecting conductors that are passed through the recessed grooves.
Claims11
A mechanically and electrically integrated module comprising:
- a rotary electric machine that comprises:
- a housing that includes:
- a cylindrical frame;
- a load-end end frame that is disposed on a first axial end of said cylindrical frame;
- and
- a non-load-end end frame that is disposed on a second axial end of said cylindrical frame, and into which a cooling flow channel is built;
- a stator that includes:
- an annular stator core that is housed and held in said cylindrical frame in an internally fitted state;
- and
- a stator coil that is mounted onto said stator core;
- and
- a rotor that is rotatably supported by said load-end end frame and said non-load-end end frame so as to be disposed on an inner circumferential side of said stator;
- and
- an inverter apparatus that includes:
- power modules that are disposed on an opposite side of said non-load-end end frame from said load-end end frame;
- and
- a power-module-driving circuit,
- wherein:
- said cylindrical frame includes:
- a non-load-end end-frame-holding portion that is formed by enlarging an inside diameter of a non-load-end end portion thereof, and that houses and holds said non-load-end end frame in an internally fitted state;
- and
- a stator-core-holding portion that is formed at a load end of said non-load-end end-frame-holding portion so as to have a smaller diameter than said non-load-end end-frame-holding portion, and that houses and holds said stator core in an internally fitted state;
- a recessed groove that has a groove direction in an axial direction is recessed into at least one of an outer circumferential surface of said non-load-end end frame and an inner circumferential surface of said non-load-end end-frame-holding portion;
- and
- said stator coil and an alternating-current terminal of said inverter apparatus are connected by a connecting conductor that is passed through said recessed groove.
