Abstract: A rotating electric machine including circumferential portions respectively corresponding to magnetic pole centers of permanent magnets and defined along the outer circumference of the rotor at a plurality of locations, with each circumferential portion extending along part of a virtual circumferential surface, which is coaxial with the rotor. The circumferential portions are spaced from one another in the circumferential direction. Convex portions connect adjacent pairs of the circumferential portions. Each convex portion is located radially inward from the circumferential surface, projects in a radially outward direction, and includes angled portions directed in the radially outward direction.

The phase insulator insulates stator coils from each other. The phase insulator includes insulating sheet portions and bridge portions. The insulating sheet portions are disposed at both end portions of the stator core for insulating between the coil ends of the stator coils. The insulating sheet portions are made of a first material. The bridge portions connect the insulating sheet portions. The bridge portions are inserted in the slots of the stator core. The bridge portions are made of a second material. The second material has higher elastic characteristics than the first material.

Abstract: A stator includes a first through a third windings, and a first and a second interphase insulators. The first interphase insulator has a first pair of strip-shaped insulating sheets and a first connecting portion. End portions of the insulating sheets are connected to the respective opposite end portions to form joints. The first connecting portion connects the insulating sheets so that the joints are shifted so as to be disposed in a region avoiding an interference with the first winding on both of a lead-extending side and the opposite side. In the second interphase insulator similarly constructed, a second connecting portion connects a second pair of the strip-shaped insulating sheets so that joints are shifted so as to be disposed in a region avoiding an interference with the third winding on both of the lead-extending side and the opposite side.

Abstract: A method for mounting coil onto stator for rotary electric machine. The method includes forming coil pieces by winding wire with flat cross section into single row lamination state including wire layers aligned along perpendicular line to flat surfaces of wire. The coil is formed for first portion to be inserted in slot and second portion not inserted in slot appear alternately along the coil. The method displaces wire layers at the first portion changing the single row lamination state to connectively laminated state where wire layers at portion to be inserted in slot each adjacent pair of the wire layers partially overlap with respect to direction perpendicular to flat wire surfaces. The method includes inserting wires of first portion into slot, passing each wire layer through slot opening successively from the top wire layer of lamination and displacing each wire layer at first portion from each other.

Abstract: A plurality of convex portions are located inside of a virtual circumferential surface. Each convex portion connects an adjacent pair of circumferential portions with each other. Each convex portion is an arcuate curve bulging radially outward. Each convex portion defines a minimum radius. A difference between a radius R and the minimum radius is a depth Dh. Dhr=Dh×25.5/R. A range of an angular width A in relation to circumferential portion and a range of the depth Dh are set by the following expression, (5.6×Dhr+11.3)°×6/p?A<35°×6/p and A<[360/p?2×arccos]° ??(1) Therefore, decrease in torque is prevented. Torque pulsation is suppressed.

The scroll compressor includes a front housing formed integrally with a stationary scroll, a center housing molded as a unitary structure coupled to the front housing and covering at least a portion of a drive crank mechanism and a portion of a drive motor, and a rear housing coupled to the center housing and covering the rear side of the drive motor. The front housing, the center housing and the rear housing form an outer shell of the compressor. The center housing that is molded as a unitary structure helps markedly increase the rigidity as a whole, and suppresses the vibration of the scroll compressor for a fuel cell.

Abstract: A scroll-type vacuum pump includes a fixed scroll and a movable scroll. The fixed scroll has a base plate and a volute portion formed on the base plate. The movable scroll includes a base plate having a volute portion. The volute portions cooperate to form a variable displacement fluid pocket between the two scrolls. The movable scroll includes a rear boss projecting from the rear surface of the base plate and a front boss projecting from the front surface of the base plate. The rear boss is located in a working region, which includes the volute portion of the movable scroll. An eccentric shaft is integrally formed on a drive shaft. The eccentric shaft is inserted in rotates relatively to both bosses to support the movable scroll. The eccentric shaft receives a radial force generated in the working region mainly through the rear boss.
