Abstract

According to one embodiment, a rotor of a rotating electric machine includes a collector shaft which is fastened to a main shaft of the machine and mounted with paired collector rings on an outer circumferential surface thereof. Longitudinal lead bars extend in electrically insulated state in longitudinal lead grooves provided in an outer circumferential surface of the collector shaft and are connected to ring through studs. Radial lead bars are located at a collector shaft-side end portion of the main shaft and connect at their inner end portions to the bands. And, both ends of conductive longitudinal studs inserted into longitudinal through holes at a main shaft-side end portion of the collector shaft are connected to outer end portions of the radial lead bars and to the longitudinal lead bars.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A rotor of a rotating electric machine comprising:
a rotor main shaft of the rotating electric machine;
a pair of center hole copper bands arranged in a shaft center portion of the rotor main shaft and held in an insulated state from each other;
a collector shaft fastened to a shaft end of the rotor main shaft and mounted with a pair of collector rings which supply a field current, on an outer circumferential surface thereof;
a plurality of longitudinal lead bars inserted in and electrically insulated from lead grooves which are provided in an outer circumferential surface of the collector shaft to extend along a longitudinal direction of the collector shaft, and connected to the collector rings through conductive studs;
a plurality of radial lead bars arranged at a shaft end portion of the rotor main shaft, the shaft end portion being located on a coupling side with the collector shaft, and including inner end portions connected to the center hole copper bands; and
a plurality of conductive longitudinal studs inserted into a plurality of longitudinal through holes provided at a shaft end portion of the collector shaft to extend along a longitudinal direction of the collector shaft, the shaft end portion being located on a coupling side with the rotor main shaft, and including one end portions connected to outer end portions of the radial lead bars and the other end portions connected to the longitudinal lead bars.

2. The rotor of a rotating electric machine according to claim 1 , further comprising a hydrogen seal at a joint surface between the rotor main shaft and the collector shaft and a hydrogen seal at each of the longitudinal through holes of the collector shaft.

3. The rotor of a rotating electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein that the collector shaft is provided with an even number of the lead grooves, and the lead grooves are evenly arranged in a circumferential direction of the collector shaft.

4. The rotor of a rotating electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein each of the lead grooves has the same length as to each other.

5. The rotor of a rotating electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein the inner end portions of the radial lead bars are connected to end portions of the center hole copper bands by welding, the end portions being a collector shaft side.

6. The rotor of a rotating electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein the inner end portions of the radial lead bars are connected to end portions of the center hole copper bands by bolts, the end portions being a collector shaft side.

7. The rotor of a rotating electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein a part or the whole of the longitudinal lead bar is configured by stacking metal foils.

8. The rotor of a rotating electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein each of the longitudinal lead bars is retained in each of the lead grooves by a lead bar retainer inserted in and engaged with an opening of each of the lead grooves to close the opening of each of the lead grooves.

9. The rotor of a rotating electric machine according to claim 8 , wherein the lead bar retainer is made of an electrically insulating material.

10. The rotor of a rotating electric machine according to claim 2 , wherein that the collector shaft is provided with an even number of the lead grooves, and the lead grooves are evenly arranged in a circumferential direction of the collector shaft.

11. The rotor of a rotating electric machine according to claim 2 , wherein each of the lead grooves has the same length as to each other.

12. The rotor of a rotating electric machine according to claim 2 , wherein the inner end portions of the radial lead bars are connected to end portions of the center hole copper bands by welding, the end portions being a collector shaft side.

13. The rotor of a rotating electric machine according to claim 2 , wherein the inner end portions of the radial lead bars are connected to end portions of the center hole copper bands by bolts, the end portions being a collector shaft side.

14. The rotor of a rotating electric machine according to claim 2 , wherein a part or the whole of the longitudinal lead bar is configured by stacking metal foils.

15. The rotor of a rotating electric machine according to claim 2 , wherein each of the longitudinal lead bars is retained in each of the lead grooves by a lead bar retainer inserted in and engaged with an opening of each of the lead grooves to close the opening of each of the lead grooves.

16. The rotor of a rotating electric machine according to claim 15 , wherein the lead bar retainer is made of an electrically insulating material.
