Patent number: 9887656Abstract: A current command value calculating unit (174) calculates current command values for a rotor winding (30) and current command values for a stator winding (20) with respect to a torque command value between a first rotor (28) and a second rotor (18) and a torque command value between a stator (16) and the second rotor (18) based on an evaluation function representing a total copper loss of the rotor winding (30) and the stator winding (20) and using first and second magnetic interference models. The first magnetic interference model represents a relationship of a linkage magnetic flux ?in of the rotor winding (30) with respect to a current Iin in the rotor winding (30) and a current Iout in the stator winding (20). The second magnetic interference model represents a relationship of a linkage magnetic flux ?out of the stator winding (20) with respect to the current Iin, Iout.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2015Date of Patent: February 6, 2018Assignees: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOYOTA CHUO KENKYUSHO, TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHA, AISIN SEIKI KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Wataru Hijikata, Takao Watanabe, Eiji Tsuchiya, Shohei Matsumoto, Masahide Uemura, Akira Murakami, Tomoyuki Tohyama

Patent number: 9716412Abstract: This rotor for a rotating electric motor includes a hollow cylindrical rotor core with a plurality of laminated electromagnetic steel plates. The inner and outer circumferential surfaces of the rotor core each face a magnetic gap. The rotor core is interposed between a first rotating support member and a second rotating support member. A flange is formed on a first end of a tubular pin protruding from a first hole of the first rotating support member. A tubular expansion part of the tubular pin plastically deforms due to fluid pressure so as to come into close contact with a through hole of the rotor core, the first hole of the first rotating support member, and a second hole of the second rotating support member.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2014Date of Patent: July 25, 2017Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Hirohito Hayashi, Takahiro Shiina, Masahide Uemura, Akira Murakami, Tomoyuki Tohyama, Eiji Tsuchiya, Yasumitsu Osada, Wataru Hijikata, Takao Watanabe
