A rotating electric machine system includes a rotor and a stator. A partition wall member is interposed between the rotor and the stator. The partition wall member forms a rotor chamber and a housing internal oil passage in a rotating electric machine housing. A separation distance between the rotor and an inner circumferential wall of the partition wall member is defined as an inner side separation distance. A separation distance between an outer circumferential wall of the partition wall member and a stator is defined as an outer side separation distance. The inner side separation distance is greater than the outer side separation distance.

Rotating electric machine system, and combined power system equipped therewith

A rotating electric machine system includes a rotor. The rotor includes permanent magnets and a rotating shaft. In a rotary electric machine housing, a rotor internal oil passage is formed. A portion of lubricating oil supplied to each of a first bearing and a second bearing is diverted and made to flow through the rotor internal oil passage. The rotor internal oil passage includes direction changeover portions that change a direction through which the lubricating oil flows.

In a rotating electric machine system, a rotating shaft retaining permanent magnets includes an oil guiding member. An annular gap is formed between the rotating shaft and the oil guiding member. Lubricating oil that has flowed through a second oil supply passage formed in a rotating electric machine housing is supplied to an annular gap. The annular gap communicates with a rotor internal oil passage.

In a rotary electric machine housing, a first bearing and a second bearing are provided for supporting a rotating shaft. The rotary electric machine housing includes a sub-housing. A collection flow path is formed in the sub-housing, and communicates with a plurality of air bleed passages formed in a gas turbine engine, collectively.

Combined power system

A combined power system includes a rotary electric machine system and an internal combustion engine. The rotary electric machine system includes a rotating shaft. A first end part and a second end part of the rotating shaft are rotatably supported by a rotary electric machine housing via a first bearing and a second bearing, respectively. The internal combustion engine includes an output shaft. One end of the rotating shaft in an axial direction is connected to one end of the output shaft.

A compressor wheel is provided for the output shaft. Air bleed ports are formed in a shroud case that surrounds the compressor wheel. A plurality of air bleed passages are formed in the engine housing that surrounds the shroud case. An annular chamber is formed between the air bleed ports and the air bleed passages, for storing compressed air that is extracted from the air bleed ports.

A rotary electric machine system of a combined power system includes a rotary electric machine, a rotary electric machine housing in which the rotary electric machine is accommodated, and a rotation parameter detector that detects a rotation parameter of a rotating shaft constituting the rotary electric machine. The rotating shaft includes a first end part and a second end part, a first bearing is provided between the first end part and the housing, and a second bearing is provided between the second end part and the housing. The first end part includes a protruding distal end that passes through the first bearing and protrudes to an exterior of the housing. The rotation parameter detector is disposed on the protruding distal end.

A rotary electric machine system making part of a combined power system is equipped with a rotary electric machine having a rotor including a rotating shaft and a rotary electric machine housing in which the rotary electric machine is accommodated. In such a rotary electric machine, a first bearing and a second bearing are disposed between the rotary electric machine housing and the rotating shaft. The gas supplied from the gas supply source flows on an upstream side through a terminal casing in which electric terminal portions are accommodated, and on a downstream side through the first bearing and the second bearing inside the rotary electric machine housing.

In a rotary electric machine housing, a first bearing and a second bearing are provided for supporting a rotating shaft. A lubricating oil is supplied to the first bearing and the second bearing. At least one of the first bearing or the second bearing is sandwiched between the compressed air supplied from one side of the rotating shaft in an axial direction thereof and the compressed air supplied from another side of the rotating shaft in the axial direction.

A rotary electric machine system includes a rotary electric machine, a housing for housing the rotary electric machine, and a rotation parameter detector for detecting the rotation parameter of a rotating shaft constituting the rotary electric machine. The rotating shaft includes a first end portion and a second end portion, and a first bearing and a second bearing are provided between the housing and the first end portion, and between the housing and the second end portion, respectively. The first end portion includes a protruding tip that protrudes out of the housing through the first bearing. The rotation parameter detector is provided at the protruding tip.

Rotary electric machine system

A rotating shaft of a rotary electric machine is supported by a rotary electric machine housing. For the rotary electric machine housing, compressed air flow passages are formed. In a gas turbine engine, an air bleed port is formed in a shroud case, and compressed air that is compressed by a compressor wheel flows into the air bleed port. The compressed air that has passed through the air bleed port flows through air bleed passages formed in an engine housing and the compressed air flow passages. Then, the compressed air flows into a rotary electric machine housing.

For a rotary electric machine housing, a cooling jacket and compressed air flow passages are formed on an outer circumferential side of the cooling jacket. On an outer side wall of the rotary electric machine housing, a terminal casing is formed and electric terminal portions are accommodated in the terminal casing. Air bleed ports are formed in a shroud case of a gas turbine engine. Compressed air that is compressed by a compressor wheel flows into the air bleed ports. The compressed air that has passed through the air bleed ports flows through air bleed passages formed in an engine housing and the compressed air flow passages. Then, the compressed air reaches the terminal casing.

An engine housing of a gas turbine engine includes a plurality of leg members. An air intake space is formed between the plurality of leg members. A shroud case supported by the engine housing is disposed in the air intake space. A rotary electric machine housing of a rotary electric machine system includes a rectifying member. The rectifying member includes a distal end facing toward the shroud case, and the distal end is inserted inside the shroud case.

In a rotary electric machine housing, a first bearing and a second bearing are provided for supporting a rotating shaft. A lubricating oil is supplied to the first bearing and the second bearing. Further, a gas is supplied to the first bearing and the second bearing. The lubricating oil and the gas are recovered by a single recovery device.

A conductive-wire position inspecting device includes: a reference body disposed in a radial direction of a stator core; an imaging device configured to image a conductive wire and the reference body; and a calculating device configured to find a relative position and a relative angle of the conductive wire with respect to the reference body, based on an obtained image. In addition, the conductive-wire position inspecting device includes a determining device configured to determine whether or not the found relative position and relative angle are within respective permissible ranges, and if they are within the permissible ranges, determine the position of the conductive wire to be acceptable.
