  • Patent number: 9729027
    Abstract: A cooling structure of a rotary electric machine (10) that includes a rotating shaft (16), a rotor (18), and a stator (20) that includes a coil end (22), includes a coolant passage (38) that is included in the rotating shaft (16) and through which coolant flows, and a squirt hole (42) that is included in the coolant passage (38). The squirt hole (42) is included in the coolant passage (38). An opening portion of the squirt hole (42) is positioned on an outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft (16) and to an outside of the coil end (22) in the axial direction. The squirt hole (42) squirts the coolant such that the coolant is distributed to an inner peripheral surface (C1, C2) of the coil end (22) and an end surface (A1, A2) of the coil end (22) in the axial direction.

  • Patent number: 9463788
    Abstract: A control device for a hybrid vehicle, including a mode whereby the vehicle runs using a motor only, and a mode whereby the vehicle uses both the motor and an engine. When the motor temperature of an MG(2) exceeds a threshold temperature, an ECU moves from a running mode that uses the MG(2) only, to a running mode that limits the load on the MG(2). The ECU performs control in accordance with the charging state of the battery for running, such that the work rate of an electric pump for cooling the MG(2) is increased when the charging state is higher, and the running mode that uses the MG(2) only is maintained.

  • Patent number: 9126585

When the motor temperature of an MG(2) exceeds a threshold temperature, an ECU moves from a running mode that uses the MG(2) only, to a running mode that limits the load on the MG(2). When the charging state of a battery for running exceeds a threshold value, the ECU performs control such that in addition to the system voltage for driving the MG(2) being reduced, the threshold temperature is increased, and the running mode whereby only the MG(2) is used is maintained.
