Patent number: 8212449Abstract: A stator core for a rotary electric machine is provided. The stator includes an annular stator core having a plurality of slots punched and arranged in the circumferential direction, being straight in the axial direction, and a stator winding consisting of wire members. The wire members have respective straight portions accommodated in respective slots. Each of the wire members has a conductor portion having a rectangular cross section and an insulating coating covering the conductor portion. An adhesive member is provided between each of the straight portions and the wall surface of each slot. In each slot, the adhesive member adheres the straight portions to the wall surface. Thus, the stator core can maintain the space factor of the wire members accommodated in each slot and suppress vibration of the wire members during the operation of the rotary electric machine to reliably reduce generation of peculiar noise or magnetic noise.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2010Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: Denso CorporationInventor: Shinji Kouda

Publication number: 20120161571Abstract: A motor includes a rotor, a stator, an insulating member and a coil. The insulating member made of insulating films is inserted in a slot formed through a stator core of the stator. Cuff portions are formed in the coil-side insulating film by bending both ends thereof. An opening is formed in the coil-side insulating film at a region located at an intersection between a first bend line along which the coil-side insulating film is bent into a curved shape so as to fit the slot and a second bend line along which the coil-side insulating film is bent for forming the cuff portion. The stator core-side insulating film is laid on the coil-side insulating film such that the cuff portion overlaps a surface of the stator core-side insulating film on the stator core side and the stator core-side insulating film covers at least a part of the opening.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2011Publication date: June 28, 2012Applicant: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOYOTA JIDOSHOKKIInventors: Hiroshi FUKASAKU, Taizo HIRANO

Publication number: 20120153767Abstract: A mounting structure for slot paper in a motor stator. The slot paper is embedded in stator slots and includes a paper bottom, a paper side, and a paper front. A lug boss is protruded between two adjacent tooth block segments and protrudes from the inner wall of an outer ring. Two ends of the slot paper extend out of each stator slot. Two ends of the paper bottom are locked between the lug bosses respectively arranged on the upper end insulator and the lower end insulator. One end of each tooth block segment is provided with a clip slot and the paper front near the opening is embedded therein. The structure is simple, has a precise slot paper positioning function, does not occupy space of the stator slot, maximizes the slot filling ratio of the slots, and thus improves the overall performance of the motor.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2011Publication date: June 21, 2012Applicant: ZHONGSHAN BROAD-OCEAN MOTOR CO., LTD.Inventor: Songfa TANG

Patent number: 8203240Abstract: A rotating electrical machine includes: a stator that including a stator core and a teeth section, with a stator coil wound at the teeth section; a rotor arranged via a clearance at an inner periphery side of the stator and supported in a freely rotating manner; and a distribution unit supported by a resin holder, and including a conductor connected to the stator coil. The rotating electrical machine is cooled by coolant. The stator coil includes a coil end section projecting from an end of the stator in an axial direction. A gap is formed between an end of the stator core and a lower surface of the distribution unit by mounting the distribution unit on an upper part of the coil end section. The gap constitutes a path for the coolant.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2008Date of Patent: June 19, 2012Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Katsuhiro Hoshino, Kenichi Nakayama, Nobuyuki Kajiya, Takayuki Koizumi, Toshiaki Ueda
