Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to an integrated starter generator, and particularly relates to a mounting structure of the rotor and the stator in a motor. The present disclosure further relates to a hybrid power system.


BACKGROUND

A motor in which a starter and a generator are integrated is an important component in electrification and hybrid-power oriented solutions for vehicles, which is mainly classified into belt-driven starter generator (BSG) and integrated starter generator (ISG).


An ISG is directly installed at the output end of the crankshaft of an internal combustion engine, which replaces the originally separated internal combustion engine starter and electric generator, and may also serve as an accessory power supply of the vehicle. As an electrification and hybrid-power oriented solution of vehicles, ISGs have the functions of internal combustion engine starting and stopping, electricity generation, braking, power assisting and so on, which facilitates vehicles in saving fuel oil consumption, and reduces the carbon pollution of exhausted gas. Moreover, compared with BSG, ISG does not use a belt, and thus eliminate the trouble in the maintenance of the belt.


In the conventional hybrid power systems that use ISGs, the ISG, the clutch and the driving motor are generally arranged in series in the direction of the transmission shaft, the advantage of which is the simple structure, while the disadvantages are a large axial space occupied, a relatively big mass and a relatively high manufacturing cost.


For example, in the Chinese invention patent “Electromagnetic Jaw Clutch And Double-Motor Hybrid System (—custom-charactercustom-character)” (CN103758889A), FIG. 4 of the description discloses a double-motor hybrid system, which comprises an ISG, an electromagnetic jaw clutch and a driving motor, all of which are arranged in series.


Moreover, in the prior art, whenever a hybrid power system of an internal combustion engine and a driving motor is involved, they are usually arranged in series.


For example, in the Chinese invention patent “Rotor Device Of Integrated Stater-Generator Motor And Rotor Working System (—custom-charactercustom-charactercustom-character)” (CN101964556B), FIG. 8 of the description discloses a hybrid power system, which comprises an engine, a crankshaft, a rotor device that connects to and rotates together with the crankshaft, a clutch that connects to the rotor device, and a gearbox that connects to the clutch, all of which are sequentially arranged in series.


In the Chinese invention patent “Hybrid Power System (—custom-character)” (CN104315090A), FIG. 1 of the description discloses a hybrid power system, which comprises an internal combustion engine as the power supply A, a clutch and a motor as the power supply B, all of which are arranged in series.

The winding mode of the enameled wire in the stator is fractional slot concentrated winding; that is, the number of slots per pole per phase of the stator is a fraction less than one. The advantage of such a winding is that the size of the end of the winding is relatively small, which saves the consumption of the enameled wire, thereby reducing the cost.


Certainly, the coil winding 121 may also be a distributed winding.


The iron core 122 of the rotor is provided with tooth-slots 1221 for mounting the squirrel-cage conductor 123 on the side that faces the stator.

The rotational speeds of the rotor 3 and of the movable contrate gear 6 are always the same.


The installation of the integrated starter generator is required to satisfy that: during engaging and disengaging between the fixed contrate gear 2 and the movable contrate gear 6 of the clutch, the rotor 3 and the stator 4 have a proper gap therebetween.
