A power supply circuit includes a first and second circuits connected to a first and second phase windings of a rotary electric machine, respectively. The first circuit includes first to fourth arms and a first switch. The midpoints of the first and second arms are connected to respective ends of a first winding unit, the midpoints of the third and fourth arms are connected to respective ends of a second winding unit, and the first switch is connected between the midpoints of the second and third arms. The second circuit includes fifth to eighth arms and a second switch. The midpoints of fifth and sixth arms are connected to respective ends of a third winding unit, the midpoints of seventh and eighth arms are connected to respective ends of a fourth winding unit, and the second switch is connected between the midpoints of the sixth and seventh arm.

Power supply circuit and rotary electric machine system

A stator core of a rotary electric machine includes a yoke portion which has an annular shape, plural tooth portions protruding radially from an inner peripheral edge of the yoke portion toward a center, and plural fastening portions protruding radially outward from an outer peripheral edge of the yoke portion and each formed with a fastening member insertion hole through which a fastening member is inserted. The stator core is configured by a plurality of electromagnetic steel plates laminated via an adhesive layer. The yoke portion includes plural fastening portion inner regions, and plural non-fastening portion inner regions. The adhesive layer is disposed on the yoke portion. The adhesive layer includes at least one first adhering portion provided in each of the fastening portion inner regions, and at least one second adhering portion provided in each of the non-fastening portion inner regions.

Stator core of rotary electric machine

A rotating electric machine includes an inner-circumferential-side shaft, an outer-circumferential-side shaft, and a rotor. The rotor is secured to the outer-circumferential-side shaft. The inner-circumferential-side shaft is rotatably supported by a bearing that is provided between a gear and the rotor. An outer circumference of the inner-circumferential-side shaft and an inner circumference of the outer-circumferential-side shaft are spline-fitted to each other at a spline-fitted portion. The outer-circumferential-side shaft has a loosely fitted portion that is provided on the inner circumference of the outer-circumferential-side shaft and that is fitted on the outer circumference of the inner-circumferential-side shaft with a first gap having a predetermined length provided between the loosely fitted portion and the outer circumference of the inner-circumferential-side shaft. The first gap is smaller than a second gap provided at the spline-fitted portion between the inner-circumferential-side shaft and the outer-circumferential-side shaft.
