A stator for a rotary electric machine includes a stator core and a stator coil. The stator core includes an annular back yoke, a plurality of teeth, and a plurality of slots. The stator coil, being housed in the slots and wound around the teeth of the stator core, includes coil ends protruding from the respective end faces of the stator core in the axial direction.

A rotary electric machine includes a stator core, a coil, and a molded portion. The stator core includes an annular yoke and a plurality of teeth. The teeth protrude radially inward from the annular yoke. The coils are wound around the teeth respectively. The coil includes a coil end that protrudes toward an axially outer side from an axially end surface of the stator core. The molded portion is a resin member that covers the coil end. The molded portion includes a first member. The first member includes a communication portion that communicates inside of the molded portion with outside of the molded portion.

A stator includes a stator core, an insulating body, a coil, and a resin-molded product. The stator core includes a circumferentially side surface and an axially upper surface. The insulating body includes a side wall and an upper wall. The side wall covers the circumferentially side surface of the stator core. The upper wall covers the axially upper surface of the stator core. A radially inner side end surface of the upper wall is positioned farther toward a radially outer side than a radially inner side end surface of the side wall. The resin-molded product covers the coil.

Communication grooves for communicating an outer circumferential side with an inner circumferential side of a stator core are formed at a contact face, that contacts the stator core, of a three-phase terminal fixing member. Furthermore, a retention part deeper than the communication grooves is formed. When resin is injected, air between the stator core and a stationary mold and between the stator core and a movable mold is discharged to the outside through the communication grooves, and thus it is possible to suppress formation of voids between the stator core and the stationary mold and between the stator core and the movable mold. In addition, the resin expands by releasing its pressure at the retention part, and thus it is possible to suppress the resin from flowing to the outside through the communication grooves.

Rotating electrical-machine control system and method of operating magnet temperature of rotating electrical-machine

An object oil temperature is determined by adopting a gradual change process for an oil temperature of a cooling lubricant oil, which is used to lubricate and cool down a motor and a transmission constructed to cause an output power of the motor to be subjected to speed change and to be transmitted to a driveshaft. A load factor of the motor is subsequently set based on the set object oil temperature and a motor coil temperature. A motor torque command is set with the load factor, and the motor is then driven and controlled to ensure output of a torque equivalent to the set motor torque command. This arrangement drives and controls the motor with consideration of the oil temperature of the cooling lubricant oil and thus ensures more adequate actuation of the motor, compared with a conventional drive control without consideration of the oil temperature of the cooling lubricant oil.

Rotor and method of manufacturing the same and electric vehicle

An object is to provide a rotor manufacturing method capable of reducing a rotor unbalance amount by controlling a magnet arrangement position in a rotor core and improving work efficiency when fixing a magnet to the rotor core by using resin. A lower surface of a rotor core is arranged in a lower mold. A magnet is arranged in a lower mold. A magnet is contained in each of magnet containing holes formed in the rotor core in such a manner that a predetermined space is assumed between an upper surface of the rotor core and an upper surface of the magnet. An upper mold is arranged on the upper surface of the rotor core. The upper mold and the lower mold apply a pressure to the rotor core and a molten resin is supplied with pressure from an internal diameter side via the predetermined space into the plurality of magnet containing holes from respective cylinder arranged in the upper mold. Thus, the magnets are molded by resin while pressing the magnets toward the outer diameter side of the magnet containing holes.
