　しかしながら、特許文献１に記載の電動機では、冷媒が回転軸内を通過するため、回転子の温度上昇を抑制することができるが、固定子の温度上昇までも抑制するのが困難である。すなわち、特許文献１に記載の電動機では、回転子および固定子の双方に対する冷却効率が低い。　本発明の目的は、ロータおよびステータに対する冷却効率が向上する回転電機および駆動装置を提供することにある。 However, in the electric motor described in Patent Document 1, since the coolant passes through the rotating shaft, it is possible to suppress the temperature rise of the rotor, but it is difficult to suppress even the temperature rise of the stator. That is, in the electric motor disclosed in Patent Document 1, cooling efficiency for both the rotor and the stator is low. An object of the present invention is to provide a rotating electric machine and a driving device that improve cooling efficiency for the rotor and stator.

　図１に示すように、ポンプ７１が駆動されると、ギヤハウジング８２内に貯留されたオイルＯが第１流路部９１を通って吸い上げられ、第２流路部９２を通ってクーラ７２内に流入する。クーラ７２内に流入したオイルＯは、クーラ７２内で冷却された後、第３流路部９３を通って、ステータ冷媒供給部５０へと流れる。ステータ冷媒供給部５０内に流入したオイルＯの一部は、供給口５０ａから噴射されて、ステータ４０に供給される。ステータ冷媒供給部５０内に流入したオイルＯの他の一部は、接続流路部９４を通ってシャフト流路部９５に流入する。シャフト流路部９５を流れるオイルＯの一部は、冷媒供給孔３３から径方向流路部９６、軸方向流路部９８およびガイド流路部９７を流れて、ステータ４０に飛散する。シャフト流路部９５に流入したオイルＯの他の一部は、シャフト１の左側の開口からギヤハウジング８２の内部に排出され、再びギヤハウジング８２内に貯留される。 As shown in FIG. 1, when the pump 71 is driven, the oil O stored in the gear housing 82 is sucked up through the first flow passage portion 91 and then through the second flow passage portion 92 into the cooler 72. flow into The oil O that has flowed into the cooler 72 is cooled in the cooler 72 and then flows through the third flow path portion 93 to the stator coolant supply portion 50 . A portion of the oil O that has flowed into the stator coolant supply portion 50 is injected from the supply port 50 a and supplied to the stator 40 . Another part of the oil O that has flowed into the stator coolant supply portion 50 flows into the shaft flow channel portion 95 through the connection flow channel portion 94 . A portion of the oil O flowing through the shaft channel portion 95 flows from the coolant supply hole 33 through the radial channel portion 96 , the axial channel portion 98 , and the guide channel portion 97 and scatters to the stator 40 . Another part of the oil O that has flowed into the shaft flow path portion 95 is discharged into the gear housing 82 through the left opening of the shaft 1 and is stored in the gear housing 82 again.
　供給口５０ａからステータ４０に供給されたオイルＯは、ステータ４０から熱を奪い、シャフト１内からロータ３０およびステータ４０に供給されたオイルＯは、ロータ３０およびステータ４０から熱を奪う。ステータ４０およびロータ３０を冷却したオイルＯは、下側に落下して、モータハウジング８１内の下部領域に溜まる。モータハウジング８１内の下部領域に溜ったオイルＯは、隔壁部８１ｂに設けられた隔壁開口８１ｄを介してギヤハウジング８２内に戻る。以上のようにして、冷媒流路９０は、ギヤハウジング８２内に貯留されたオイルＯをロータ３０およびステータ４０に供給する。 The oil O supplied to the stator 40 from the supply port 50 a takes heat from the stator 40 , and the oil O supplied to the rotor 30 and stator 40 from within the shaft 1 takes heat from the rotor 30 and stator 40 . The oil O that has cooled the stator 40 and the rotor 30 drops downward and accumulates in the lower area inside the motor housing 81 . The oil O accumulated in the lower region inside the motor housing 81 returns into the gear housing 82 through the partition wall opening 81d provided in the partition wall portion 81b. As described above, coolant flow path 90 supplies oil O stored in gear housing 82 to rotor 30 and stator 40 .
　前述したように、オイルＯは、シャフト１内を流通することができる。そして、ロータ３０が所定の回転数を超えて回転した場合、オイルＯは、遠心力によって優先的に冷媒供給孔３３から排出されることとなる。このとき、シャフト１内では、冷媒供給孔３３より下流側において中心軸Ｊ方向に沿ったオイルＯの流れが確保されず、ロータ３０に対する冷却効率が低下したり、ベアリング３５への潤滑油としてのオイルＯの供給量が減少するおそれがある。　そこで、回転電機１０では、このような不具合を解消可能に構成される。以下、この構成および作用について説明する。 As described above, the oil O can flow through the shaft 1. Then, when the rotor 30 rotates over a predetermined number of revolutions, the oil O is preferentially discharged from the coolant supply hole 33 by centrifugal force. At this time, in the shaft 1, the flow of the oil O along the direction of the central axis J is not ensured on the downstream side of the coolant supply hole 33, the cooling efficiency for the rotor 30 is lowered, and the lubricating oil for the bearing 35 is The amount of oil O supplied may decrease. Therefore, the rotating electric machine 10 is configured to be able to eliminate such problems. This configuration and operation will be described below.

Further, the first side hole 22 opens to the first screw portion 21 inside the shaft body 2 . Also, a plurality of first side holes 22 are provided. Although the number of the first side holes 22 arranged is eight in this embodiment, it is not limited to this, and may be, for example, two to seven or nine or more. The eight first side holes 22 are arranged at equal angular intervals around the central axis J and at the same position in the central axis J direction. Further, the shaft body 2 has an outer diameter that varies along the direction of the central axis J, an upstream small-diameter portion 233 , a downstream small-diameter portion 234 , and a large diameter between the small- diameter portions 233 and 234 . and a diameter portion 235 .
　シャフト本体２の上流側には、円筒体５が挿入される。　図８に示すように、円筒体５は、第２ネジ部５１と、第２側孔５２とを有する。　第２ネジ部５１は、外周面５０１に設けられた雄ネジである。　第２側孔５２は、円筒体５の径方向に貫通する貫通孔である。また、第２側孔５２は、円筒体５の外側では、第２ネジ部５１に開口する。　また、第２側孔５２は、複数設けられる。第２側孔５２の配置数は、本実施形態では第１側孔２２の配置数と同数の８つであるが、これに限定されず、例えば、２つ～７つまたは９つ以上であってもよい。　８つの第２側孔５２は、中心軸Ｊ回りに等角度間隔に配置されるとともに、中心軸Ｊ方向では同じ位置に配置される。　円筒体５は、径方向外側に向かって突出する、すなわち、外径が拡径したフランジ部５３を外周面５０１に有する。フランジ部５３は、円筒体５の上流側の端部に位置する。 A cylindrical body 5 is inserted into the upstream side of the shaft body 2 . As shown in FIG. 8, the cylindrical body 5 has a second screw portion 51 and a second side hole 52. The second screw portion 51 is a male screw provided on the outer peripheral surface 501 . The second side hole 52 is a through hole penetrating through the cylindrical body 5 in the radial direction. Also, the second side hole 52 opens to the second screw portion 51 on the outside of the cylindrical body 5 . Also, a plurality of second side holes 52 are provided. In the present embodiment, the number of the second side holes 52 arranged is eight, which is the same number as the number of the first side holes 22 arranged. may The eight second side holes 52 are arranged at equal angular intervals around the central axis J and at the same position in the central axis J direction. The cylindrical body 5 has, on the outer peripheral surface 501, a flange portion 53 that protrudes radially outward, that is, has an enlarged outer diameter. The flange portion 53 is located at the upstream end of the cylindrical body 5 .
　以上のような構成の円筒体５（第２ネジ部５１）をシャフト本体２に対して中心軸Ｊ回りに回転させることにより、図２、図３に示すように、第２ネジ部５１を第１ネジ部２１に捩じ込んで、ネジ部同士を嵌め合わせることができる。これにより、円筒体５をシャフト本体２の上流側（中心軸Ｊ方向一方側）に取り付けた取付状態とすることができる。　なお、第１ネジ部２１に対する第２ネジ部５１の捩じ込み量（回転量）は、例えばシャフト１が搭載される回転電機１０の種類等の諸条件に応じて、適宜調整される（図５、図６参照）。また、捩じ込み量の調整により、シャフト本体２に対する円筒体５の位置決めが容易となる。　図５（図２、図３についても同様）に示す取付状態では、円筒体５は、フランジ部５３がシャフト本体２の上流側の端面２０２に接触するまで、シャフト本体２に捩じ込まれている。これにより、第１ネジ部２１と第２ネジ部５１との捩じ込み限界（嵌め合わせ限界）を規制して、第１ネジ部２１と第２ネジ部５１との過剰な捩じ込みを防止することができる。 By rotating the cylindrical body 5 (second threaded portion 51) configured as described above about the central axis J with respect to the shaft body 2, the second threaded portion 51 is rotated as shown in FIGS. 1 threaded portion 21 to fit the threaded portions together. As a result, the cylindrical body 5 can be attached to the upstream side of the shaft body 2 (one side in the central axis J direction). The screwing amount (rotation amount) of the second threaded portion 51 with respect to the first threaded portion 21 is appropriately adjusted according to various conditions such as the type of the rotary electric machine 10 on which the shaft 1 is mounted, for example (see FIG. 5, see Figure 6). Further, the adjustment of the amount of screwing facilitates the positioning of the cylindrical body 5 with respect to the shaft body 2 . In the attached state shown in FIG. 5 (the same applies to FIGS. 2 and 3), the cylindrical body 5 is screwed into the shaft body 2 until the flange portion 53 contacts the upstream end face 202 of the shaft body 2 . there is As a result, the screwing limit (fitting limit) between the first threaded portion 21 and the second threaded portion 51 is regulated, and excessive screwing between the first threaded portion 21 and the second threaded portion 51 is prevented. can do.
　図６に示す取付状態では、円筒体５は、フランジ部５３がシャフト本体２の端面２０２に接触に至る前まで、すなわち、フランジ部５３がシャフト本体２の端面２０２と間に間隙ＧＰを生じさせる程度にシャフト本体２に捩じ込まれている。これにより、第２側孔５２と第１側孔２２との中心軸Ｊ方向における離間距離ＳＤを、図５に示す取付状態での離間距離ＳＤよりも大きく設定することができる。　また、図５、図６に示すように、取付状態では、捩じ込み量の大小に関わらず、複数の第２側孔５２が複数の第１側孔２２より上流側に位置する。 In the attached state shown in FIG. 6 , the cylindrical body 5 creates a gap GP between the flange portion 53 and the end surface 202 of the shaft body 2 until the flange portion 53 comes into contact with the end surface 202 of the shaft body 2 . It is screwed into the shaft body 2 to an extent. Thereby, the separation distance SD between the second side hole 52 and the first side hole 22 in the direction of the central axis J can be set larger than the separation distance SD in the attached state shown in FIG. Also, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, in the attached state, the plurality of second side holes 52 are located upstream of the plurality of first side holes 22 regardless of the amount of screwing.
　図３に示すように、複数の第１側孔２２と複数の第２側孔５２とは、第１ネジ部２１と第２ネジ部５１との間を介して繋がる。これにより、オイルＯが通過可能な流路１２が確保される。流路１２は、冷媒供給孔３３である。　また、シャフト１の開口部２０１から内部に流入したオイルＯには、第２側孔５２を超えて、そのまま下流側に向かうオイルＯ１と、第２側孔５２を介して流路１２に向かうオイルＯ２とが存在する。そして、この状態でロータ３０が所定の回転数を超えて回転した際、オイルＯは、遠心力によって優先的に各第２側孔５２から排出されそうになる。 As shown in FIG. 3 , the plurality of first side holes 22 and the plurality of second side holes 52 are connected via the first threaded portion 21 and the second threaded portion 51 . Thereby, the flow path 12 through which the oil O can pass is secured. The flow path 12 is the coolant supply hole 33 . Further, the oil O flowing into the shaft 1 from the opening 201 includes the oil O1 that flows directly downstream beyond the second side hole 52 and the oil O1 that flows toward the flow path 12 via the second side hole 52. O2 is present. In this state, when the rotor 30 rotates over a predetermined number of revolutions, the oil O is likely to be preferentially discharged from the second side holes 52 due to centrifugal force.
　しかしながら、各第２側孔５２と各第１側孔２２とが中心軸Ｊ方向にズレて配置されているため、流路１２に向かうオイルＯ２の流れが抑制される。そして、オイルＯ２の流れが抑制された分、オイルＯ１の流れを十分に確保することができる。これにより、ロータ３０の回転数の大小に関わらず、オイルＯ２でステータ４０に対する冷却効率を向上させつつ、オイルＯ１でロータ３０に対する冷却効率も十分に向上させることができる。また、オイルＯ１をベアリング３５の潤滑油として十分に機能させることもできる。 However, since the second side holes 52 and the first side holes 22 are displaced in the direction of the central axis J, the flow of the oil O2 toward the flow path 12 is suppressed. Since the flow of the oil O2 is suppressed, the flow of the oil O1 can be sufficiently secured. As a result, regardless of the rotational speed of the rotor 30, the cooling efficiency of the stator 40 can be improved by the oil O2, and the cooling efficiency of the rotor 30 can be sufficiently improved by the oil O1. Also, the oil O1 can sufficiently function as a lubricating oil for the bearings 35 .
　また、上流側から見たとき、シャフト１の回転方向と、第１ネジ部２１および第２ネジ部５１のネジ方向とが同一である。例えば、上流側から見たとき、シャフト１の回転方向が時計回り（右回り）の場合、第１ネジ部２１および第２ネジ部５１のネジ方向は、右ネジの方向となる。これにより、オイルＯ２が第２側孔５２から第１側孔２２へ円滑に通過することができる。　図４に示すように、第２ネジ５１（雄ネジ）の外径φＤ５１は、第１ネジ２１（雌ネジ）の谷の径φＤ２１の８０％以上９５％以下であるのが好ましく、８０％以上９０％以下であるのがより好ましい。これにより、第１ネジ部２１と第２ネジ部５１との嵌め合い状態を十分に維持しつつ、第１ネジ部２１と第２ネジ部５１との間をできる限り広げて、オイルＯ２を容易に通過させることができる。 Further, when viewed from the upstream side, the rotation direction of the shaft 1 and the screw directions of the first threaded portion 21 and the second threaded portion 51 are the same. For example, when the rotation direction of the shaft 1 is clockwise (right-handed) when viewed from the upstream side, the screw directions of the first threaded portion 21 and the second threaded portion 51 are right-handed. This allows the oil O2 to smoothly pass from the second side hole 52 to the first side hole 22 . As shown in FIG. 4, the outer diameter φD51 of the second screw 51 (male screw) is preferably 80% or more and 95% or less of the root diameter φD21 of the first screw 21 (female screw). More preferably, it is 90% or less. As a result, the space between the first threaded portion 21 and the second threaded portion 51 is widened as much as possible while the fitting state between the first threaded portion 21 and the second threaded portion 51 is sufficiently maintained, thereby facilitating the flow of the oil O2. can be passed to
　また、第２ネジ５１（雄ネジ）のネジ山５１１と第１ネジ２１（雌ネジ）のネジ溝２１１とは、径方向から見たときの側面視で、大きさまたは形状のうち少なくとも１つが異なる。本実施形態では、ネジ山５１１の形状およびネジ溝２１１の形状は、いずれも、三角形であるが、ネジ山５１１の方が、ネジ溝２１１よりも小さい。これによっても、第１ネジ部２１と第２ネジ部５１との間をできるだけ広げて、オイルＯ２の容易な通過に寄与する。このように、各ネジの大きさまたは形状のうち少なくとも１つを適宜設計変更することにより、オイルＯ２の流量を調整することができる。 In addition, the thread ridge 511 of the second screw 51 (male screw) and the screw groove 211 of the first screw 21 (female screw) have at least one size or shape in side view when viewed from the radial direction. different. In this embodiment, both the shape of the thread 511 and the shape of the thread groove 211 are triangular, but the thread 511 is smaller than the thread groove 211 . This also widens the space between the first threaded portion 21 and the second threaded portion 51 as much as possible, contributing to easy passage of the oil O2. Thus, the flow rate of the oil O2 can be adjusted by appropriately changing the design of at least one of the size and shape of each screw.
　前述したように、第２ネジ部５１の第１ネジ部２１に対する捩じ込み量を変更することにより、第１側孔２２と第２側孔５２との離間距離ＳＤを調整することができる。離間距離ＳＤが小さければ小さいほど、第２側孔５２から第１側孔２２へのオイルＯの流量を増加させることができる。反対に、離間距離ＳＤが大きければ大きいほど、第２側孔５２から第１側孔２２へのオイルＯ２の流量を減少させることができる。従って、離間距離ＳＤの大小によっても、オイルＯ２の流量を調整することができる。　なお、シャフト本体２および円筒体５の構成材料としては、特に限定されず、例えば、金属材料や樹脂材料等の硬質材料を用いることができる。 As described above, the separation distance SD between the first side hole 22 and the second side hole 52 can be adjusted by changing the amount of screwing of the second threaded portion 51 into the first threaded portion 21 . The smaller the separation distance SD, the more the flow rate of the oil O from the second side hole 52 to the first side hole 22 can be increased. Conversely, the larger the clearance SD is, the more the flow rate of the oil O2 from the second side hole 52 to the first side hole 22 can be reduced. Therefore, the flow rate of the oil O2 can also be adjusted depending on the distance SD. The materials for the shaft body 2 and the cylindrical body 5 are not particularly limited, and for example, hard materials such as metal materials and resin materials can be used.
