  • Patent number: 8350427
    Abstract: A stator of a rotary electrical machine includes a core unit configured by a plurality of core assemblies, around which wires are respectively wound to form the coils, including low voltage side terminals, which connect first ends of the coils, and a bus ring attached to the core unit so as to connect second ends of the coils to electricity supply wires by high voltage side terminals. Each terminal accommodating portion is individually formed relative to each of the core assemblies at an external side of the coils. Each of the terminal accommodating portions is filled with an insulating resin material in a state where at least one of a connecting portion of the first end and each of the low voltage side terminals and a connecting portion of the second end and each of the high voltage side terminals is accommodated within each of the terminal accommodating portions.

  • Publication number: 20110316322
    Abstract: A brake device for an in-wheel motor according to the invention can be easily attached to inside of the wheel. The vehicle wheel is driven by the in-wheel motor attached to the inside of the wheel. The in-wheel motor transmits the rotation of the rotor to the vehicle wheel with a speed reduced by the planetary gear set. In the brake device, the brake motor is rotated to move the plunger in an axial direction. Thus, the brake device squeezes or presses the disc which rotates with the rotor with the first pad and the second pad to apply braking force between the rotor and the planetary gear set. Accordingly, there is no need to prepare a hydraulic pressure source, a hydraulic cylinder and a hydraulic pressure conduit system and the brake device can be decreased in size and can be easily attached to the inside of the wheel.
