Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A magnet temperature information output device is disposed on a rotating electrical machine including a stator and a rotor with a permanent magnet, and is arranged to output temperature information regarding a temperature of the permanent magnet. The magnet temperature information output device includes an element arranged to detect a magnetic flux and output an electrical signal responding to the detected magnetic flux as the temperature information. The element is disposed on the stator.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A magnet temperature information output device that is disposed on a rotating electrical machine including a stator and a rotor with a permanent magnet and is arranged to output temperature information regarding a temperature of the permanent magnet, the device comprising: a first element comprising: a temperature sensor that is disposed on the rotor and is arranged such that an electrical resistance of the temperature sensor changes in response to the temperature of the permanent magnet; and a first coil that is disposed on the rotor and is electrically connected to the temperature sensor, and a second element comprising: a second coil that is disposed on the stator and is arranged to excite the first coil; and an electric-current sensor that is disposed on the stator and is arranged to output an electrical signal responding to a magnitude of a current flowing through the second coil and indirectly detect a magnetic flux generated in the second coil, the second element being arranged to detect the magnetic flux generated in the second coil and output the electrical signal as the temperature information. 2. The magnet temperature information output device according to claim 1 , the first element further comprising: a capacitor that is disposed on the rotor and forms an LC resonance circuit together with the first coil. 3. A rotating electrical machine, comprising: a stator; a rotor with a permanent magnet; and a magnet temperature information output device arranged to output temperature information regarding a temperature of the permanent magnet, wherein the magnet temperature information output device includes: a first element comprising: a temperature sensor that is disposed on the rotor and is arranged such that an electrical resistance of the temperature sensor changes in response to the temperature of the permanent magnet; and a first coil that is disposed on the rotor and is electrically connected to the temperature sensor, and a second element comprising: a second coil that is disposed on the stator and is arranged to excite the first coil; and an electric-current sensor that is disposed on the stator and is arranged to output an electrical signal responding to a magnitude of a current flowing through the second coil and indirectly detect a magnetic flux generated in the second coil, the second element being arranged to detect the magnetic flux generated in the second coil and output the electrical signal as the temperature information. 4. The rotating electrical machine according to claim 3 , wherein the first element of the magnet temperature information output device further includes a capacitor that is disposed on the rotor and forms an LC resonance circuit together with the first coil.
