Description

本発明は、回転電機に関する。 The present invention relates to a rotary electric machine.

従来、例えば特許文献1に記載されるように、電力を供給すると回転トルクを発生し、回転トルクが作用すると電力を発生する回転電機が知られている。この回転電機には、発電された交流を直流に変換するためのレクチファイヤが設けられている。レクチファイヤは、マイナス側ダイオードが固定されるフレームまたはマイナスフィンと、プラス側ダイオードが固定されるプラスフィンとを有し、リアカバーにより覆われている。 Conventionally, as described in, for example, Patent Document 1, there is known a rotary electric machine that generates a rotational torque when an electric power is supplied and generates an electric power when the rotational torque acts. This rotary electric machine is provided with a rectifier for converting the generated alternating current into direct current. The rectifier has a frame or a minus fin to which the minus side diode is fixed and a plus fin to which the plus side diode is fixed, and is covered by a rear cover.

プラス電位を持つプラスフィンは、グランド電位であるマイナスフィンまたはフレームと絶縁体を介してねじにより固定されている。フレーム固定用のねじは、グランド電位を持つフレームと締結されることでグランド電位となるため、ねじ頭部がプラスフィンに接触しないように、樹脂製の絶縁壁を供えた絶縁ワッシャを介して両フレームがねじ止めされている。 The positive fin having a positive potential is fixed by a screw to the negative fin having a positive potential or a frame via an insulator. Since the screw for fixing the frame becomes the ground potential by being fastened to the frame having the ground potential, both of them are passed through an insulating washer provided with a resin insulating wall so that the screw head does not come into contact with the plus fin. The frame is screwed.

ところが、ねじ頭部を覆う絶縁壁の高さが、ねじ頭部高さより低い、または同じ程度であると、被液してリアカバー内に通風孔から雨水などが浸入した際に、プラスフィンとねじ頭部の間に付着した液体が溜まってしまい、漏電する虞れが生じていた。 However, if the height of the insulating wall covering the screw head is lower than or about the same as the height of the screw head, the Phillips fin and the screw will be screwed when the liquid is applied and rainwater or the like enters the rear cover through the ventilation holes. The liquid adhering between the heads accumulated, and there was a risk of electric leakage.

The positive electrode heat sink is arranged between the negative electrode heat sink and the rear cover in a state of being separated from the negative electrode heat sink, and the main body portion (41) to which the positive electrode rectifying element is fixed is located closer to the negative electrode heat sink than the main body portion. The outer peripheral wall (44) of the portion includes a fastening portion (42) formed with a step from the main body portion.

締結部材(6)は、正極ヒートシンクの締結部にリアカバー側から締結部を挿通して負極ヒートシンクまで到達するように挿入され、正極ヒートシンクと負極ヒートシンクとの離間部分に設けられるシンク間絶縁部(7,74)を介して正極ヒートシンクと負極ヒートシンクとを締結する部材であって、締結部からリアカバー側へ突出する突出部(51)の高さ(H3)が本体部の外周壁の高さ(H1)よりも低い。 The fastening member (6) is inserted into the fastening portion of the positive electrode heat sink so as to reach the negative electrode heat sink through the fastening portion from the rear cover side, and the inter-sink insulating portion (7) provided at a separated portion between the positive electrode heat sink and the negative electrode heat sink. , 74) is a member for fastening the positive electrode heat sink and the negative electrode heat sink, and the height (H3) of the protruding portion (51) protruding from the fastening portion toward the rear cover side is the height (H1) of the outer peripheral wall of the main body portion. ) Is lower.

絶縁部材は、締結部材の突出部を覆う容器状の部材であって、締結部材が挿入される穴(58)が形成され、締結部材の突出部と締結部との間に位置する絶縁底部(56,72,86)、絶縁底部の外縁に連続し締結部材の突出部の外周を覆う絶縁壁部(57,73,75,82,84,87)、を有し、絶縁壁部は、本体部の外周壁に対向する側の高さ(H2)が最も高くかつ締結部材の突出部の高さよりも高く形成されている。レクチファイヤとリアカバーとの間にはリアカバー内に浸入した液体を排出可能とする隙間(59)が形成されている。 The insulating member is a container-shaped member that covers the protruding portion of the fastening member, and a hole (58) into which the fastening member is inserted is formed, and the insulating bottom portion (58) located between the protruding portion of the fastening member and the fastening portion (the insulating bottom portion). 56,72,86), an insulating wall portion (57,73,75,82,84,87) that is continuous with the outer edge of the insulating bottom and covers the outer periphery of the protruding portion of the fastening member, and the insulating wall portion is the main body.

また、締結部材の突出部に付着した水滴が徐々に溜まった場合でも、絶縁壁部において本体部の外周壁に対向する部位以外の高さが低い部位から、水滴は、隙間を経由してリアカバーの外へ排水される。よって、締結部材の突出部と正極ヒートシンクの外周壁との間で漏電経路が形成されることが効果的に抑制され、漏電を防止することができる。 Further, even if water droplets adhering to the protruding portion of the fastening member are gradually accumulated, the water droplets from the low height portion other than the portion of the insulating wall portion facing the outer peripheral wall of the main body portion pass through the gap to the rear cover. It is drained to the outside of. Therefore, it is possible to effectively suppress the formation of an electric leakage path between the protruding portion of the fastening member and the outer peripheral wall of the positive electrode heat sink, and prevent electric leakage.

<First Embodiment>
[Constitution]
The configuration of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4. The rotary electric machine 101 of the first embodiment is a so-called alternator connected to an output shaft of a vehicle engine (not shown) via a connecting member such as a belt. As shown in FIG. 1, the rotary electric machine 101 is made of a Randell type rotor 12 fixed to a shaft 11, a stator 13 provided at a position surrounding the rotor 12, and a metal holder for the rotor 12 and the stator 13. It includes frames 14 and 15.

ロータ12は、ロータコア16と、ロータ巻線17とを有している。ロータ巻線17は、絶縁処理された銅線であって、ロータコア16に巻回されている。ロータ12は、ロータ巻線17に電流が流れることで磁極を形成する。ステータ13は、ロータ12の径方向外側に設けられ、ステータコア18、及び、ステータコア18に形成された複数個のスロットに所定の間隔で巻回されているステータ巻線19を有している。ステータ13は、ロータ12が発生する磁束と鎖交することで交流を発生可能である。 The rotor 12 has a rotor core 16 and a rotor winding 17. The rotor winding 17 is an insulated copper wire, which is wound around a rotor core 16. The rotor 12 forms a magnetic pole when a current flows through the rotor winding 17. The stator 13 is provided on the radial outer side of the rotor 12, and has a stator core 18 and a stator winding 19 wound around a plurality of slots formed in the stator core 18 at predetermined intervals. The stator 13 can generate alternating current by interlinking with the magnetic flux generated by the rotor 12.

フレームは、シャフト11の軸方向に並ぶフロントフレーム14とリアフレーム15とで構成され、これら各フレーム14,15はスルーボルトの締結により一体化されている。なお、以降の説明において、単に「軸方向」と言う場合には、シャフト11の軸方向を意味するものとする。ステータ13は、フロントフレーム14及びリアフレーム15に挟持された状態で固定されている。フレーム14,15には軸受け21,22が設けられ、この軸受け21,22によりシャフト11及びロータ12が回転自在に支持されている。シャフト11の一端側(フロントフレーム14側)にはプーリ23が取り付けられている。 The frame is composed of a front frame 14 and a rear frame 15 arranged in the axial direction of the shaft 11, and the frames 14 and 15 are integrated by fastening through bolts. In the following description, when the term "axial direction" is simply used, it means the axial direction of the shaft 11. The stator 13 is fixed to the front frame 14 and the rear frame 15 in a sandwiched state. Bearings 21 and 22 are provided on the frames 14 and 15, and the shaft 11 and the rotor 12 are rotatably supported by the bearings 21 and 22. A pulley 23 is attached to one end side (front frame 14 side) of the shaft 11.

軸方向においてリアフレーム15の外側には、絶縁カバーとして合成樹脂製のリアカバー25が固定して取り付けられている。リアフレーム15とリアカバー25との間に形成された空間部Sには、回転電機101で生じた交流電流を整流する整流器としてレクチファイヤ31が収容されている。なお、空間部Sには、レクチファイヤ31以外に、図示しないレギュレータや界磁コイル通電機構が収容されている。 A synthetic resin rear cover 25 is fixedly attached to the outside of the rear frame 15 in the axial direction as an insulating cover. A rectifier 31 is housed in the space S formed between the rear frame 15 and the rear cover 25 as a rectifier for rectifying the alternating current generated by the rotary electric machine 101. In addition to the rectifier 31, a regulator and a field coil energization mechanism (not shown) are housed in the space S.

リアカバー25は、レクチファイヤ31を覆うようにしてリアフレーム15の軸方向外側に設けられる部材であり、天板部26と、その外周部から延びる周壁部27とを有している。リアカバー25は、ナイロンとエラストマとの混合材等、耐衝撃材により形成されているとよい。リアカバー25は、天板部26において複数の図示しない固定具の締結によりリアフレーム15に対して固定されている。周壁部27は、以下詳述する正極ヒートシンク3と負極ヒートシンク5とが並ぶ方向(すなわちシャフト11の軸方向)に延びるように設けられている。 The rear cover 25 is a member provided on the outer side in the axial direction of the rear frame 15 so as to cover the rectifier 31, and has a top plate portion 26 and a peripheral wall portion 27 extending from the outer peripheral portion thereof. The rear cover 25 is preferably formed of an impact resistant material such as a mixed material of nylon and elastomer. The rear cover 25 is fixed to the rear frame 15 by fastening a plurality of fixtures (not shown) on the top plate portion 26. The peripheral wall portion 27 is provided so as to extend in the direction in which the positive electrode heat sink 3 and the negative electrode heat sink 5 described in detail below are aligned (that is, in the axial direction of the shaft 11).

次に、レクチファイヤ31の構成について詳しく説明する。レクチファイヤ31は、正極ダイオード2、正極ヒートシンク3、負極ダイオード4、負極ヒートシンク5、ねじ6、絶縁部材61、シンク間絶縁部7などを主に有している。正極ヒートシンク3は、リアフレーム15の軸方向外側に設けられる。負極ヒートシンク5は、リアフレーム15の一部を用いて構成される。正極ヒートシンク3及び負極ヒートシンク5は互いに離間している。 Next, the configuration of the rectifier 31 will be described in detail. The rectifier 31 mainly includes a positive electrode diode 2, a positive electrode heat sink 3, a negative electrode diode 4, a negative electrode heat sink 5, a screw 6, an insulating member 61, an inter-sink insulating portion 7, and the like.

The positive electrode heat sink 3 and the negative electrode heat sink 5 are separated from each other.

正極ヒートシンク3には、整流回路において電源(バッテリ)側に接続される複数の正極ダイオード2が固定されている。正極ダイオード2は正極整流素子に相当し、例えばツェナダイオードにより構成されている。正極ヒートシンク3は、金属材料よりなり、各正極ダイオード2と電源部との間に電気接続されることで正極に帯電される。 A plurality of positive electrode diodes 2 connected to the power supply (battery) side in the rectifier circuit are fixed to the positive electrode heat sink 3. The positive electrode diode 2 corresponds to a positive electrode rectifying element, and is composed of, for example, a Zener diode. The positive electrode heat sink 3 is made of a metal material, and the positive electrode is charged by being electrically connected between each positive electrode diode 2 and the power supply unit.

図2,図3に示すように、正極ヒートシンク3は、本体部41と、締結部42とを有している。本体部41は、略円環状をなす板状部材であり、複数の正極ダイオード2が固定される。正極ダイオード2のリード線43(図1参照)は、負極ヒートシンク5側を向いている。締結部42は、本体部41よりも負極ヒートシンク5に近い位置となるように本体部41の外周壁44に段差を有して形成されている。 As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the positive electrode heat sink 3 has a main body portion 41 and a fastening portion 42. The main body 41 is a plate-shaped member having a substantially annular shape, and a plurality of positive electrode diodes 2 are fixed to the main body 41. The lead wire 43 (see FIG. 1) of the positive electrode diode 2 faces the negative electrode heat sink 5 side. The fastening portion 42 is formed with a step on the outer peripheral wall 44 of the main body portion 41 so as to be closer to the negative electrode heat sink 5 than the main body portion 41.

以下、締結部42のリアカバー25側の端面45からリアカバー25側への軸方向における突出量を、単に「高さ」と言う。なお、「リアカバー25側」とは、詳細にはリアカバー25の天板部26側を意味する。締結部42のカバー側端面45は、外周壁44のカバー側端面46よりも、負極ヒートシンク5に近い位置となっている。締結部42には、ねじ挿入用の穴47(図2参照)が貫通して形成されている。締結部42は、本体部41の外周壁44に略等間隔に複数箇所(本実施形態では3箇所)形成されている。 Hereinafter, the amount of protrusion of the fastening portion 42 from the end surface 45 on the rear cover 25 side to the rear cover 25 side in the axial direction is simply referred to as "height". The "rear cover 25 side" specifically means the top plate portion 26 side of the rear cover 25. The cover-side end surface 45 of the fastening portion 42 is located closer to the negative electrode heat sink 5 than the cover-side end surface 46 of the outer peripheral wall 44. A hole 47 (see FIG. 2) for inserting a screw is formed through the fastening portion 42. A plurality of fastening portions 42 are formed on the outer peripheral wall 44 of the main body portion 41 at substantially equal intervals (three locations in the present embodiment).

ねじ6は、各ヒートシンク3,5を軸方向において締結する部材であり、締結部42に対してリアカバー25側から挿入される。ねじ6は、頭部51と、軸部52とを有している。締結状態において、頭部51は、締結部42からリアカバー25側へ突出している。頭部51は、「突出部」に相当する。頭部51の突出先端は、本体部41の外周壁44におけるリアカバー25側の端面46よりも軸方向において負極ヒートシンク5寄りに位置している。すなわち、頭部51の高さH3は、正極ヒートシンク3の外周壁44の高さH1より低くなっている。ねじ6は、「締結部材」に相当する。 The screw 6 is a member that fastens the heat sinks 3 and 5 in the axial direction, and is inserted into the fastening portion 42 from the rear cover 25 side. The screw 6 has a head portion 51 and a shaft portion 52. In the fastened state, the head 51 projects from the fastened portion 42 toward the rear cover 25. The head 51 corresponds to a "protruding portion". The protruding tip of the head 51 is located closer to the negative electrode heat sink 5 in the axial direction than the end surface 46 on the rear cover 25 side of the outer peripheral wall 44 of the main body 41. That is, the height H3 of the head 51 is lower than the height H1 of the outer peripheral wall 44 of the positive electrode heat sink 3. The screw 6 corresponds to a "fastening member".

再び図1を参照する。負極ヒートシンク5には、整流回路においてグランド側に接続される複数の負極ダイオード4が固定されている。負極ダイオード4のリード線53は、正極ヒートシンク3側を向いている。負極ダイオード4は負極整流素子に相当し、例えばツェナダイオードにより構成されている。負極ヒートシンク5は、リアフレーム15の一部であり、かつ正極ヒートシンク3に対向する。負極ヒートシンク5、すなわちリアフレーム15は、グランド電位となっており、正極ヒートシンク3に対して電位差を有している。なお、図2に示すように、ねじ軸部52の挿入側先端は、負極ヒートシンク5に到達しており、ねじ6も同様にグランド電位となっている。 See FIG. 1 again. A plurality of negative electrode diodes 4 connected to the ground side in the rectifier circuit are fixed to the negative electrode heat sink 5. The lead wire 53 of the negative electrode diode 4 faces the positive electrode heat sink 3 side. The negative electrode diode 4 corresponds to a negative electrode rectifying element, and is composed of, for example, a Zener diode. The negative electrode heat sink 5 is a part of the rear frame 15 and faces the positive electrode heat sink 3. The negative electrode heat sink 5, that is, the rear frame 15 has a ground potential and has a potential difference with respect to the positive electrode heat sink 3. As shown in FIG. 2, the insertion-side tip of the screw shaft portion 52 reaches the negative electrode heat sink 5, and the screw 6 also has a ground potential.

シンク間絶縁部7は、例えば樹脂等の絶縁材料で形成され、ねじ軸部52の外周に接してねじ6毎に設けられている。図2に示すように、シンク間絶縁部7は、大径部54と、大径部54と同軸に設けられる小径部55と、を有している。大径部54は、各ヒートシンク3,5が軸方向に離間している離間部分を埋めるように、また、小径部55は、締結部42の穴47とねじ軸部52との隙間を埋めるように設けられている。 The inter-sink insulating portion 7 is formed of an insulating material such as resin, and is provided for each screw 6 in contact with the outer periphery of the screw shaft portion 52. As shown in FIG. 2, the inter-sink insulating portion 7 has a large diameter portion 54 and a small diameter portion 55 provided coaxially with the large diameter portion 54. The large diameter portion 54 fills the separated portion where the heat sinks 3 and 5 are separated in the axial direction, and the small diameter portion 55 fills the gap between the hole 47 of the fastening portion 42 and the screw shaft portion 52. It is provided in.

絶縁部材61は、ねじ頭部51を覆う容器状の部材であり、例えば樹脂等の絶縁材料で形成されている。図4に示すように、絶縁部材61は、その全体形状が、有底円筒部材を軸方向に斜めに交差する平面で切った形状をなしている。絶縁部材61は、絶縁底部56と、絶縁壁部57と、を有している。絶縁底部56の中央には、ねじ6が挿通する穴58が形成されている。絶縁壁部57は、絶縁底部56の外縁から垂直方向に連続して形成されている。穴58の径はねじ軸部52の外径より大きく、締結時、穴58とねじ軸部52との間には僅かな隙間が形成される。 The insulating member 61 is a container-shaped member that covers the screw head 51, and is made of an insulating material such as resin. As shown in FIG. 4, the overall shape of the insulating member 61 is such that the bottomed cylindrical member is cut by a plane that intersects diagonally in the axial direction. The insulating member 61 has an insulating bottom portion 56 and an insulating wall portion 57. A hole 58 through which the screw 6 is inserted is formed in the center of the insulating bottom portion 56. The insulating wall portion 57 is formed continuously in the vertical direction from the outer edge of the insulating bottom portion 56. The diameter of the hole 58 is larger than the outer diameter of the screw shaft portion 52, and a slight gap is formed between the hole 58 and the screw shaft portion 52 at the time of fastening.

図2に示すように、組み付け時の状態において、絶縁底部56は、ねじ頭部51と締結部42との間に位置している。絶縁壁部57は、ねじ頭部51の外周を覆っている。絶縁壁部57は、本体部41の外周壁44に対向する側が最も高く、外周壁44から外側へ離れていくほど徐々に低くなっている。また、絶縁部材61は、ねじ頭部51を覆うことが可能であって、かつ、締結部42からはみ出さない程度の大きさに形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 2, the insulating bottom portion 56 is located between the screw head 51 and the fastening portion 42 in the assembled state. The insulating wall portion 57 covers the outer circumference of the screw head 51. The insulating wall portion 57 is highest on the side of the main body portion 41 facing the outer peripheral wall 44, and gradually decreases as the distance from the outer peripheral wall 44 increases. Further, the insulating member 61 is formed to have a size that can cover the screw head 51 and does not protrude from the fastening portion 42.

締結状態において、外周壁44の高さH1、絶縁壁部57において最も高い部位である外周壁44に対向する側の高さH2、ねじ頭部51の高さH3が、この順で高くなっている。また、絶縁部材61、正極ヒートシンク3、及び負極ヒートシンク5の外周と、リアカバー25の周壁部27との間には、リアカバー25内に浸入した液体を排出可能とする隙間59が形成されている。この隙間59は、図2において破線の矢印A1で示す排水経路を形成する。 In the fastened state, the height H1 of the outer peripheral wall 44, the height H2 of the side facing the outer peripheral wall 44, which is the highest portion of the insulating wall portion 57, and the height H3 of the screw head 51 increase in this order. There is. Further, a gap 59 is formed between the outer periphery of the insulating member 61, the positive electrode heat sink 3, and the negative electrode heat sink 5 and the peripheral wall portion 27 of the rear cover 25 so that the liquid that has penetrated into the rear cover 25 can be discharged. The gap 59 forms a drainage path indicated by the broken line arrow A1 in FIG.

[効果]
(1)本実施形態では、回転電機101が被液してリアカバー25内に通風孔から雨水などが浸入し、ねじ頭部51に水滴が付着しても、正極ヒートシンク3の本体部41側の絶縁壁部57の高さH2が、ねじ頭部51の高さH3よりも高いため、ねじ頭部51と本体部41との間で水滴による漏電経路が形成されにくい。
[effect]
(1) In the present embodiment, even if the rotary electric machine 101 is exposed to liquid and rainwater or the like enters the rear cover 25 from the ventilation holes and water droplets adhere to the screw head 51, the positive heat sink 3 is on the main body 41 side. Since the height H2 of the insulating wall portion 57 is higher than the height H3 of the screw head portion 51, it is difficult to form a leakage path due to water droplets between the screw head portion 51 and the main body portion 41.

また、ねじ頭部51に付着した水滴が徐々に溜まった場合でも、絶縁壁部57の低くなっている側から、つまり正極ヒートシンク3の外周から隙間59等の排水経路を通って、水滴はリアカバー25の外へ排水される。よって、ねじ頭部51と正極ヒートシンク3の外周壁44との間で漏電経路が形成されることが効果的に抑制され、漏電を防止することができる。 Further, even when water droplets adhering to the screw head 51 gradually accumulate, the water droplets pass through a drainage path such as a gap 59 from the lower side of the insulating wall portion 57, that is, from the outer circumference of the positive electrode heat sink 3, and the water droplets are rear-covered. It is drained to the outside of 25. Therefore, it is possible to effectively suppress the formation of an electric leakage path between the screw head 51 and the outer peripheral wall 44 of the positive electrode heat sink 3, and prevent electric leakage.

仮に、ねじ頭部51を覆う絶縁部材61の絶縁壁部57の高さH2が、ねじ頭部51の高さH3より低い、または同じ程度であると、絶縁壁部57とねじ頭部51との間に付着した液体が溜まってしまい、漏電経路が形成され漏電する虞れが生ずるが、本実施形態ではそうした問題を回避することができる。 If the height H2 of the insulating wall portion 57 of the insulating member 61 covering the screw head 51 is lower than or about the same as the height H3 of the screw head 51, the insulating wall portion 57 and the screw head 51 The liquid adhering to the space is accumulated, and a leakage path is formed, which may cause an electric leakage. However, in the present embodiment, such a problem can be avoided.

なお、ねじ頭部51の高さH3を、本体部41の外周壁44の高さH1より高くなるように固定すれば、水滴による漏電経路は形成されにくくなるが、ねじ頭部51が本体部41よりリアカバー25側に飛び出すことになり、回転電機101自体の軸方向長さが長くなり装置が大型化するという問題が生じる。しかし、本実施形態では、装置全体はコンパクトに維持したまま、ねじ頭部51に水が溜まらない構成とすることができる。 If the height H3 of the screw head 51 is fixed so as to be higher than the height H1 of the outer peripheral wall 44 of the main body 41, it becomes difficult to form an electric leakage path due to water droplets, but the screw head 51 is the main body. Since it protrudes from 41 to the rear cover 25 side, there arises a problem that the axial length of the rotary electric machine 101 itself becomes long and the device becomes large. However, in the present embodiment, the entire device can be kept compact and water does not collect on the screw head 51.

(2)また、ねじ頭部51周辺に長期間水滴が溜まることがないため、ねじ6や周辺部材の水による腐食を抑制することができる。 (2) Further, since water droplets do not collect around the screw head 51 for a long period of time, corrosion of the screw 6 and peripheral members by water can be suppressed.

(3)本実施形態の絶縁部材61は、絶縁底部56と絶縁壁部57とを有し、有底円筒部材を軸方向に斜めに交差する平面で切った形状をなしている。このように、簡易な構成であるため、製造が容易であり、組み付けも容易である。 (3) The insulating member 61 of the present embodiment has an insulating bottom portion 56 and an insulating wall portion 57, and has a shape in which a bottomed cylindrical member is cut by a plane that intersects diagonally in the axial direction. As described above, since it has a simple structure, it is easy to manufacture and easy to assemble.

〈第2実施形態〉
次に、第2実施形態の回転電機102について、図5、図6を参照して説明する。第2実施形態では、第1実施形態の回転電機101に対し、絶縁部材の構成が異なる。第2実施形態のレクチファイヤ32が備える絶縁部材62は、絶縁底部56の外周の一部分から負極ヒートシンク5側へ軸方向に延びて形成される延設部71をさらに有している。延設部71は、正極ヒートシンク3の締結部42の外周を覆うように曲面状に形成されている。すなわち、締結部42の外周が排水経路に露出しない構成となっている。
<Second Embodiment>
Next, the rotary electric machine 102 of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. In the second embodiment, the configuration of the insulating member is different from that of the rotary electric machine 101 of the first embodiment. The insulating member 62 included in the rectifier 32 of the second embodiment further has an extending portion 71 formed so as to extend axially from a part of the outer periphery of the insulating bottom portion 56 toward the negative electrode heat sink 5. The extending portion 71 is formed in a curved surface shape so as to cover the outer periphery of the fastening portion 42 of the positive electrode heat sink 3. That is, the outer circumference of the fastening portion 42 is not exposed to the drainage path.

本実施形態によれば、上記第1実施形態と同様の効果を奏し、さらに、正極ヒートシンク3の締結部42の外周が排水経路に露出しないため、大量に排水する際に、グランド電位のねじ6と正極ヒートシンク3の露出部とで漏電することが抑制される。 According to the present embodiment, the same effect as that of the first embodiment is obtained, and further, since the outer periphery of the fastening portion 42 of the positive electrode heat sink 3 is not exposed to the drainage path, the ground potential screw 6 is used when a large amount of drainage is performed. Leakage between the and the exposed portion of the positive electrode heat sink 3 is suppressed.

〈第3実施形態〉
次に、第3実施形態の回転電機103について、図7を参照して説明する。第3実施形態では、第2実施形態の回転電機102に対し、絶縁部材の構成が異なる。第3実施形態のレクチファイヤ33が備える絶縁部材63は、絶縁底部72、絶縁壁部73、延設部71、及びシンク間絶縁部74を有している。すなわち、絶縁部材63は、シンク間絶縁部74と一体に形成されている。本実施形態の絶縁部材63は、正極ヒートシンク3の締結部42の外周側から、締結部42に嵌め込むことで組み付けされる。
<Third Embodiment>
Next, the rotary electric machine 103 of the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 7.

The insulating member 63 included in the rectifier 33 of the third embodiment has an insulating bottom portion 72, an insulating wall portion 73, an extension portion 71, and an inter-sink insulating portion 74. That is, the insulating member 63 is integrally formed with the inter-sink insulating portion 74. The insulating member 63 of the present embodiment is assembled by fitting it into the fastening portion 42 from the outer peripheral side of the fastening portion 42 of the positive electrode heat sink 3.

本実施形態によれば、上記第2実施形態と同様の効果を奏し、さらに、シート間絶縁部が別体である場合と比較すると、両絶縁体部の間に隙間が生じ得ないため、隙間からの浸水による漏電を抑制することができる。 According to the present embodiment, the same effect as that of the second embodiment is obtained, and further, as compared with the case where the insulating portion between sheets is a separate body, a gap cannot be generated between both insulating portions, so that a gap is formed. Leakage due to flooding from the water can be suppressed.

〈第4実施形態〉
次に、第4実施形態の絶縁部材64について、図8を参照して説明する。第4実施形態の絶縁部材64の絶縁壁部75は、壁高一定部76と、段差部77とを有している。壁高一定部76は、円筒状をなし、その高さH2がねじ頭部51の高さH3(図2参照)より高い高さで一定に形成されている。段差部77は、絶縁底部56とは反対側の端部から絶縁底部56側へ絶縁壁部75の一部を方形状に切り欠いて形成されている。段差部77の高さH4は、壁高一定部の高さH2の概ね3分の1程度である。
<Fourth Embodiment>
Next, the insulating member 64 of the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The insulating wall portion 75 of the insulating member 64 of the fourth embodiment has a wall height constant portion 76 and a step portion 77. The wall height constant portion 76 has a cylindrical shape, and its height H2 is formed to be constant at a height higher than the height H3 of the screw head 51 (see FIG. 2). The step portion 77 is formed by cutting out a part of the insulating wall portion 75 in a square shape from the end portion on the side opposite to the insulating bottom portion 56 to the insulating bottom portion 56 side. The height H4 of the step portion 77 is approximately one-third of the height H2 of the constant wall height portion.

上記絶縁部材64は、壁高一定部76が本体部41の外周壁44に対向し、かつ、段差部77が、本体部41の外周壁44に対向する側から離れた位置であって外周壁44に対向しない位置となるように、ねじ頭部51の外周に上記各実施形態と同様に設けられる。こうした絶縁部材64の取り付け状態は、上記各実施形態と同様であるため図面は省略する。 In the insulating member 64, the wall height constant portion 76 faces the outer peripheral wall 44 of the main body 41, and the stepped portion 77 is located away from the side of the main body 41 facing the outer peripheral wall 44. Similar to each of the above embodiments, the screw head 51 is provided on the outer circumference of the screw head 51 so as not to face the 44. Since the mounting state of the insulating member 64 is the same as that of each of the above embodiments, the drawings will be omitted.

本実施形態によれば、上記第1実施形態の効果(1)、(2)と同様の効果を奏し、さらに、大量に被液した際には、段差部77が排水出口として機能するため、より排水効果が高まり漏電経路が形成される可能性を低くすることができる。 According to the present embodiment, the same effects as those of the first embodiment (1) and (2) are exhibited, and when a large amount of liquid is applied, the step portion 77 functions as a drainage outlet. The drainage effect is enhanced and the possibility of forming an electric leakage path can be reduced.

〈第5実施形態〉
次に、第5実施形態の回転電機105について、図9を参照して説明する。第5実施形態では、第1実施形態の回転電機101に対し、絶縁部材の構成が異なる。第5実施形態のレクチファイヤ35が備える絶縁部材65は、カバー側絶縁部79と、ねじ側絶縁部81とで構成されている。ねじ側絶縁部81は、「締結部材側絶縁部」に相当する。
<Fifth Embodiment>
Next, the rotary electric machine 105 of the fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the fifth embodiment, the configuration of the insulating member is different from that of the rotary electric machine 101 of the first embodiment. The insulating member 65 included in the rectifier 35 of the fifth embodiment is composed of a cover-side insulating portion 79 and a screw-side insulating portion 81. The screw-side insulating portion 81 corresponds to the "fastening member-side insulating portion".

カバー側絶縁部79は、リアカバー25の天板部26から締結部42に向けて、概ね、ねじ頭部51の高さ位置まで延びて、リアカバー25と一体に形成されており、円筒形状をなしている。ねじ側絶縁部81は、有底円筒形状をなしている。そして、カバー側絶縁部79のねじ側端部と、ねじ側絶縁部81のリアカバー側端部とが、例えばシリコン接着剤等の弾性を有する接着剤により固定されて一体に形成されている。 The cover-side insulating portion 79 extends from the top plate portion 26 of the rear cover 25 toward the fastening portion 42 to the height position of the screw head 51, and is integrally formed with the rear cover 25 to form a cylindrical shape. ing. The screw side insulating portion 81 has a bottomed cylindrical shape. The screw-side end of the cover-side insulating portion 79 and the rear cover-side end of the screw-side insulating portion 81 are integrally formed by being fixed by an elastic adhesive such as a silicon adhesive.

本実施形態では、ねじ側絶縁部81の底部が、絶縁底部56を構成する。そして、ねじ側絶縁部81の円筒状の外周壁とカバー側絶縁部79の円筒状の外周壁とで、絶縁壁部82が構成されている。なお、本実施形態では、絶縁壁部82において本体部41の外周壁44に対向する側の高さH2は、外周壁44の高さH1よりも高くなっている。 In the present embodiment, the bottom portion of the screw side insulating portion 81 constitutes the insulating bottom portion 56. The insulating wall portion 82 is formed by the cylindrical outer peripheral wall of the screw-side insulating portion 81 and the cylindrical outer peripheral wall of the cover-side insulating portion 79. In the present embodiment, the height H2 of the insulating wall portion 82 on the side of the main body portion 41 facing the outer peripheral wall 44 is higher than the height H1 of the outer peripheral wall 44.

本実施形態によれば、上記第1実施形態の効果(1)、(2)と同様の効果を奏し、さらに、リアカバー25に外力が加わった際に、絶縁部材65が外力を吸収するように作用することで、リアカバー25の強度が増し、破損を抑制することができる。また、ねじ頭部51の全周が絶縁部材65で覆われるため、ねじ頭部51に水滴が付着する虞がほぼなくなり、確実に漏電防止の効果が得られる。さらに、カバー側絶縁部79とねじ側絶縁部81とは、弾性を有する接着剤により固定されているので防水性を高めることができる。 According to the present embodiment, the same effects as those of the first embodiment (1) and (2) are exhibited, and further, when an external force is applied to the rear cover 25, the insulating member 65 absorbs the external force. By acting, the strength of the rear cover 25 is increased, and damage can be suppressed. Further, since the entire circumference of the screw head 51 is covered with the insulating member 65, there is almost no possibility that water droplets adhere to the screw head 51, and the effect of preventing electric leakage can be surely obtained. Further, since the cover-side insulating portion 79 and the screw-side insulating portion 81 are fixed by an elastic adhesive, the waterproof property can be improved.

〈第6実施形態〉
次に、第6実施形態の回転電機106について、図10、図11を参照して説明する。第6実施形態では、第5実施形態の回転電機105に対し、絶縁部材を構成するカバー側絶縁部の形状が異なる。第6実施形態のレクチファイヤ36が備える絶縁部材66は、カバー側絶縁部83と、ねじ側絶縁部81とで構成されている。カバー側絶縁部83の絶縁壁部84には、円筒形状の外周の一部が切り欠かれた切欠部85が形成されている。切欠部85は、カバー側絶縁部83のねじ6側の端部であって、かつ、本体部41の外周壁44から離れた位置、すなわち外周壁44と対向しない位置に形成されている。

The insulating wall portion 84 of the cover-side insulating portion 83 is formed with a cutout portion 85 in which a part of the outer periphery of the cylindrical shape is cut out. The notch 85 is formed at the end of the cover-side insulating portion 83 on the screw 6 side and at a position away from the outer peripheral wall 44 of the main body 41, that is, at a position not facing the outer peripheral wall 44.

図11において、水の流れを破線の矢印A1,A2で示している。本実施形態によれば、上記第1実施形態の効果(1)、(2)と同様の効果を奏する。さらに、振動等で、仮にカバー側絶縁部83とねじ側絶縁部81とがずれてねじ頭部51周辺に水滴が付着した場合でも、図11において矢印A2で示すように、切欠部85から効率的に排水することができる。 In FIG. 11, the flow of water is indicated by dashed arrows A1 and A2. According to the present embodiment, the same effects as those of the first embodiment (1) and (2) are obtained. Further, even if the cover side insulating portion 83 and the screw side insulating portion 81 are displaced due to vibration or the like and water droplets adhere to the vicinity of the screw head 51, the efficiency is increased from the notch 85 as shown by the arrow A2 in FIG. Can be drained.
