  • Patent number: 11050318
    Abstract: A drive device includes: a cover that is installed to an outer wall of a housing; a control unit that is installed in an inside of the cover; a terminal that extends from the control unit and extends through the cover; and a lead wire that extends from a coil and extends through the housing and the cover. The lead wire is electrically connected to the terminal at an outside of the cover. Therefore, the lead wire and the terminal can be connected together after installation of the cover to the housing. At this time, a lead wire insertion hole is shielded by the cover, and thereby it is possible to limit intrusion of solder debris into an inside of the housing through the lead wire insertion hole.

  • Publication number: 20140183985
    Abstract: A large peeling force due to heat occurs at the boundary between the insulation coating over the coil end and the coil conductor when the stator coil emits heat and reaches a high temperature due to the high output of the rotating electric machine that causes the insulation coating to peel from the conductor consequently causing insulation defects. A sloped surface is formed on the insulation coating so that the thickness of the tip of the insulation coating on the coil end has a shape having a slope that becomes gradually thinner towards the welded coupling section made by welding the conductor.

  • Patent number: 8702898
    Abstract: A method for connecting a first joining partner to a second joining partner. After provision of the first joining partner and the second joining partner, a lacquer layer is applied to the first joining partner. Then the first joining partner and the second joining partner are saturated together with an impregnating resin. The lacquer layer is produced from a lacquer composition based on an epoxy resin mixture, a curing accelerator, a silane-based, epoxy-functional bonding agent, and a solvent. The epoxy resin mixture has 10 wt.-% to 94 wt.-% of at least one solid epoxy resin with a maximum epoxy count of 2 Eq/kg, 1 wt.-% to 50 wt.-% of at least one solid, multifunctional epoxy resin with an epoxy count >4 Eq/kg, and 5 wt.-% to 40 wt.-% of a phenol and/or kresol novolak with a melting point >30° C. After impregnation, the viscosity of the impregnating resin is reduced such that the first joining partner and the second joining partner are connected to one another.
