Abstract: A rotor structure is to be provided which can diminish stress concentration in teeth-wedge fitting portions located near magnetic poles of a rotor in a rotary electric machine. Teeth 6 have slant faces for abutment against slant faces of wedges 8 to retain the wedges in a fitted state between adjacent teeth, the wedges 8 having slant faces each formed at a predetermined angle relative to the radial direction of a rotor 1, and a circular arc is formed at each slant face rising position in the teeth 6. In this case, the radius of the circular arc formed at each slant face rising position 12 in a preset number of teeth 6 located near magnetic pole portions 7 of the rotor 1 is set larger that of the circular arc formed in the remaining teeth.

Abstract: A method of connecting feeding lead wires to the winding of a rotor core which can rotate inside a stator with a clearance between the rotor core and the inner surface of the stator, using a joint conductor between the lead wire and the stator winding. Forming on the feeding lead wire, a first part to be connected to the joint conductor, a second part which is thinner than the first part, and a third part which is between the first and second parts and has a thickness changing from the thickness of the first part to the thickness of the second part, and welding the first part to the joint conductor by electron beams or brazing the first part to the joint conductor while cooling the first part.

Abstract: When molding reinforced fiber layers of a creepage block which is in contact with a field winding in a rotor of a rotary electric machine, a layer containing organic fibers made from polybenzoimidazole, polyparaphenylenebenzobisoxazole, aromatic polyamide, polyarylate, and aromatic polyester is integrally molded on that side of the creepage block which is for contact with a field winding. The rotor thus formed stabilizes a slippage between the field winding and the creepage block caused by thermal expansion of the field winding in the rotor during the operation and thereby minimizes the amount of bending of a rotor shaft.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an electric rotating machine and a method of connecting feeding lead wires thereto, which can increase the resistance to centrifugal forces of the lead wire without controlling the hardness of the lead wire by post-processing such as cold pressing and suppress plastic deformation of the joint between the lead wire and the joint conductor.

Abstract: An electric rotating machine includes a stator, a rotor core which can rotate inside the stator with a clearance between the rotor core and the inner surface of the stator, a stator winding formed around the rotor core, and a rotor having feeding lead wires connected to the rotor winding by a joint conductor. The feeding lead wire includes a first part connected to the joint conductor, a second part thinner than the first part, and a third part which is formed between the first and second parts and has a thickness changing from the thickness of the first part to the thickness of the second part. The first part also has through-holes to pass a cooling medium.

Abstract: Provided is a rotating electric machine in which the cooling capacity is improved by increasing the width and depth of a gas vent groove 12 formed in a creepage block 11 and in which a fracture is prevented near the face of the creepage block 11 abutting against a magnetic winding 4 of the creepage block 11 fabricated from a resin material containing reinforcing fibers. The reinforcing fibers of the creepage block 11 fabricated from a resin material containing reinforcing fibers are continuously disposed to form straight lines and curved lines along the contour of the gas vent groove, whereby the area of interlayer slip face 32 subjected to a shearing force acting on the creepage block due to a temperature change of a rotor 1 is increased and the shearing force per unit a slip area is decreased, thereby to prevent a shearing slip fracture near the face of the creepage block 11 abutting against the magnetic winding 4.
