  • Patent number: 11843292
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to suppress an outflow of varnish from a lower portion of a stator core by increasing a filling rate of varnish in a slot. Provided is a method for manufacturing a stator of a rotary electric machine. The stator has a coil and a stator core in which a slot that houses the coil is formed, and a resin member of which viscosity is low at a first temperature and the viscosity is high at a second temperature higher than the first temperature is filled in the slot from an injection side. The manufacturing method includes a first step of causing a temperature difference in the stator core such that the injection side becomes the first temperature and an opposite side of the injection side becomes the second temperature, and a second step of injecting the resin member from the injection side in a state in which the temperature difference is maintained.

  • Patent number: 10763716
    Abstract: An axial-air-gap rotating electric machine with a stator bobbin is provided. The bobbin renders the respective turn counts of windings in the machine the same and minimizes the lengths of connecting wires between continuous windings regardless of the continuous turn count, the direction in which each winding is wound, and whether the number of stages is odd or even. The bobbin, which has a tubular shape that substantially matches the exterior shape of a core, is provided with flanges that extend outwards from near the respective openings in the bobbin. One of the flanges has two first notches, and the other flange has a second notch. The axial positions of the starting and finishing ends of coils on adjacent stator cores are the same, and the flanges containing the notches through which the ends of the coils are run are on the same side with respect to the openings.
