  • Patent number: 11942841
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a stator includes a stator core and coils having a rectangular cross-section. In one or more slots, a first rectangular conductor, which is positioned innermost in a radial direction and in which a pair of short sides in a cross section face in the radial direction, and a second rectangular conductor, which is positioned outer side of the radial direction than is the first rectangular conductor and in which a pair of long sides in the cross-section face in the radial direction, are disposed. The first rectangular conductor includes a bending part bent toward a circumferential direction. The second rectangular conductor includes a bending part bent toward the circumferential direction and a twisted part twisted about the circumferential direction.

  • Patent number: 11929653
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, in a stator, bridge parts of seventh coil segments extend in a direction departing from one end surface while being inclined at a predetermined inclination angle from an axial direction of a stator core to the outside of a radial direction. Regarding the bridge parts of the seventh coil segments adjacent to each other in the radial direction of the stator core, when the same cross-sections defined by the radial direction and the axial direction is viewed from a circumferential direction of the stator core, a first inclination angle of the bridge part positioned relatively in an inner side of the radial direction is smaller than a second inclination angle of the bridge part positioned relatively in an outer side of the radial direction.
