BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
First Embodiment
Referring now to FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B, FIG. 3, FIG. 4A, FIG. 4B, FIG. 5A, FIG. 5B, and FIG. 10, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described.
In the first embodiment, temperature detection sensors 1 such as optical fiber temperature detection sensors, an insulating object 2, an element wire conductor 3, a protection tape 4 as protective insulation, a protection resin 5 as protective insulation, a collective conductor 6, a dislocating portion 31, and a storage space 123 are exemplified as illustrated in FIG. 1A, FIG. 1B, FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B, FIG. 3, FIG. 4A, FIG. 4B, FIG. 5A, FIG. 5B, and FIG. 10, and the embodiment exemplifies a rotating electrical machine having a coil formed of the collective conductors 6 which are composed of a plurality of layers of element wire conductors 3 formed of rectangular conductors stacked in a radial direction of the rotating electrical machine, including: insulating objects 2, 2 provided between adjacent element wire conductors 3, 3 of the plurality of the element wire conductors 3, 3, . . . , in parallel in a circumferential direction of the rotating electrical machine and extending along the adjacent element wire conductors 3, 3; the storage spaces 123 formed between the insulating objects 2, 2 arranged in parallel; and the temperature detection sensors 1 configured to detect temperatures of the element wire conductors 3, 3, . . . , and stored in the storage spaces 123.
Specifically, as illustrated in the drawing, in order to provide the storage space 123 for the temperature detection sensor 1, the insulating objects 2, 2, which are two rectangular insulating members, are arranged at a certain distance between two adjacent element wire conductors 3, 3 within a range in which a total width of the two insulating objects 2 and the space therebetween does not exceed the width of the element wire conductors 3. The storage space 123 can be formed by the insulating objects 2 irrespective of the thickness of the element wire conductors 3, so that even when the collective conductor 6 composed of a plurality of the element wire conductors 3, 3, . . . , bundled together is formed by pressure forming, a state in which an influence of pressurization on measurement values at the time of the pressure formation is avoided is achieved without causing damage of the temperature detection sensor 1.
In addition, the storage space 123 can be formed uniformly over an entire length of the insulating object 2 by the two insulating objects 2, 2.
The temperature detection sensor 1 is protected by the insulating object 2 and the protection tape 4 in FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B, and by the protection resin 5 in FIG. 5A and FIG. 5B on a portion of the element wire conductors 3 on a slot bottom side or a wedge side (slot opening side) where the temperature detection sensor 1 is arranged, so that a structure which can endure during the pressure forming and during the formation of a main insulation layer after the pressure formation. A protecting insulation is applied to the dislocating portion 31 of the adjacent element wire conductors 3, 3 where the insulating objects 2, 2 are interrupted.
A method of mounting the temperature detection sensors 1 on a large-sized rotating electrical machine such as a turbine electric generator, as illustrated in FIG. 2A, FIG. 2B and FIG. 3 is performed manually in the order of Step 1→Step 2→Step 3→Step 4→Step 5.
In other words, the element wire conductors 3 cut into an arbitrary length to form a dislocating portion (curved portion) are stacked by a predetermined number in Step 1,
the insulating objects 2, 2 for forming the storage space 123 are located temporarily with respect to the element wire conductors 3 with an arbitrary adhesive material to form the storage space 123 in the next Step 2, and
the temperature detection sensor 1 is stored in the storage space 123 in the next Step 3.
Subsequently, other element wire conductors 3 are placed on the insulating objects 2, 2 for the storage space, and stacked repeatedly until an arbitrary number of layers are formed in Step 4.
In Step 4, the collective conductors 6 are configured by stacking the arbitrary number of layers and then,
the collective conductors 6 are pressure-formed into a coil shape by a metal mold 7 and then a main insulation layer (not illustrated) is formed on an outer periphery thereof in Step 5 illustrated in FIG. 3.
In this manner, the collective conductors 6 having a desired number of the temperature detection sensors 1 mounted thereon, pressure-formed into the coil shape by the metal mold 7 and provided with the main insulation layer on the outer periphery thereof are mounted in a number of slots in a stator core 100SC of a rotating electrical machine 100 so as to be protruded from the stator core 100SC by an amount corresponding to coil ends at both ends as conceptually illustrated in FIG. 10.
In other words, in the first embodiment, the method of mounting element wire temperature measurement sensors on the rotating electrical machine having the temperature detection sensors 1 configured to detect the temperatures of the element wire conductors 3, 3, . . . , on the collective conductor 6 composed of the plurality of layers of the element wire conductors 3, 3, . . . , formed of a rectangular conductor stacked in the radial direction of the rotating electrical machine 100 including: arranging the insulating objects 2 extending along the element wire conductor on one element wire conductors 3 in parallel in the circumferential direction of the rotating electrical machine, and forming the storage space 123 opening in the radial direction of the rotating electrical machine between the insulating objects 2, 2 arranged in parallel; storing the temperature detection sensor 1 for detecting the temperature of the element wire conductor in the storage space 123; and after the storage of the temperature detection sensor 1, stacking another element wire conductor 3 on the insulating objects 2, 2 arranged in parallel to cover the storage space 123 with the another element wire conductors 3 is achieved.
In order to avoid the insulating objects 2, 2 for the storage space 123 and the element wire conductors 3, 3, . . . , from becoming damaged by the insulating objects 2, 2 themselves due to vibrations or the like, it is preferable to use the insulating objects having a hardness lower than the hardness of the element wire conductors 3, 3, . . . , to be used.
Regarding the insulating objects 2, 2 for the storage space 123, a divided block-type insulating object for the storage space 123 is arranged at the curved portion (dislocating portion), and is fixed by an arbitrary protection tape. It is also possible to avoid usage of the insulating object for the storage space 123 only in the curved portion (dislocating portion) and protect around the temperature detection sensor 1 by using a protecting insulating object such as the arbitrary protection resin or the like.
According to this embodiment, an arbitrary number of temperature detection sensors 1 may be arranged at arbitrary positions where measurement of the temperature is wanted.

Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 6a and FIG. 6B, one insulating object 2 is inserted between the two element wire conductors 3, 3 within a range in which a total width of the insulating object 2 and the storage space 123 does not exceed the width of the element wire conductors 3 in order to secure the storage space 123 of the temperature detection sensor 1, and insertion of the temperature detection sensor 1 into the storage space 123 immediately before a pressing work (see FIG. 3) after the collective conductor 6 has formed by bundling a plurality of the element wire conductors 3, 3, . . . , is enabled, so that a significant improvement of workability is expected. The temperature detection sensor 1 is protected by the insulating object 2 and the protection tape 4 in FIG. 7A and FIG. 7B, and by the protection resin 5 in FIG. 8A and FIG. 8B on a portion of the element wire conductors 3 on a slot bottom side or a wedge side (slot opening side) where the temperature detection sensor 1 is arranged, so that a structure which can endure during the formation of a main insulation layer is achieved.
In other words, the method of mounting element wire temperature measurement sensors on the rotating electrical machine according to the second embodiment having the temperature detection sensor 1 configured to detect the temperatures of the element wire conductors on the collective conductor 6 composed of a plurality of layers of the element wire conductors 3, 3, . . . , formed of rectangular conductors stacked in the radial direction of the rotating electrical machine including: stacking the insulating objects 2 on one element wire conductor 3 along the one element wire conductor 3; stacking the other element wire conductor 3 on the stacked insulating object 2 to form the storage space 123 surrounded by the one element wire conductor 3, the insulating object 2 and the other element wire conductor 3 and opening in the circumferential direction of the rotating electrical machine; and storing the temperature detection sensor 1 in the storage space 123, is achieved.

Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 9A, FIG. 9B and FIG. 9C, by rounding the corner portions of the element wire conductors 3, 3, . . . , a space formed when the element wire conductors 3, 3, . . . , are bundled to constitute the collective conductor 6 may be used as the storage space 123 for the temperature detection sensor 1.
More specifically, after arbitrary layers of the element wire conductors 3, 3, . . . , having rounded corner portions have been stacked to form the collective conductor 6, pressure forming is performed by using the metal mold (see FIG. 3). After the pressure forming into a coil shape has performed, the space formed between corner portions of the adjacent element wire conductors 3, 3 is secured as the storage space 123, the temperature detection sensor 1 is arranged in the storage space 123, and the temperature detection sensor 1 is fixed to the pressure-formed collective conductor 6 with an arbitrary protection tape or a protection resin. Subsequently, the main insulating layer is formed on the outer periphery thereof.
In this method, assembly of the temperature detection sensor 1 is enabled after having pressed in the pressing work (see FIG. 3) after the collective conductor 6 has formed by bundling a plurality of the element wire conductors 3, 3, . . . , so that a significant improvement of the work is expected and the state of installation of the temperature detection sensor 1 can be confirmed at a glance.
