The motor winding includes a plurality of magnet wires configured such that they are substantially parallel to each other. Each magnet wire has two distal ends configured such that each distal end is welded to one distal end of an adjacent magnet wire, thereby forming a plurality of welded tips. The stator further includes a resin coating the welded tips and the stator. The resin serves as both a primary insulation for the welded tips, and as a varnish for the stator. This dual function of the resin may eliminate the need for separate insulation for the welded tips and varnish for the stator, and allow the resin to be applied to the welded tips and to the stator at substantially the same time.

The coating optionally contains additives selected from diluent, filler, toughener, colorant, fire retardant, antirusting agent, antisettling agent, thixotropic agent or antifoamer, thickener, pigment dispersant, preservative, and the like. The coating can be used as electrical steel coating. The coating is capable of making electrical steel with a self-adhesive coating by naked-flame heat, and also there are no poisonous organic solvents to volatilize during the entire process. The coating can avoid use of an apparatus for burning organic solvents, which reduced cost.

  • Patent number: 7097885
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing electric machines comprised of geometrically patterned arrays of permanent magnets, soft magnetic materials, and electrical conductors deposited by kinetic spraying methods directly atop a carrier. The magnets and planar coils of the present invention may be integrally formed atop carriers to form electrical machines such as motors, generators, alternators, solenoids, and actuators. The manufacturing techniques used in this invention may produce highly defined articles that do not require additional shaping or attaching steps. Very high-purity permanent and soft magnetic materials, and conductors with low oxidation are produced.

  • Patent number: 6995484
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for providing inorganic and/or organic coating compositions onto rotor cores to eliminate soldering during aluminum injection. These coatings can also be applied upon electric motor rotors and/or stators laminates as well as other electronic components such as transformers. The disclosed method provides at least one film or layer of a coating composition within channels or bar slots defined by the rotor of the electric motor core/rotor (depending upon the design of the motor the slots can be defined within the rotor or open ended along the longitudinal axis of the rotor). The coating composition is also typically applied upon all exposed surfaces of the rotor, e.g., within the channels and exterior surfaces of the rotor. The coated rotor is then contacted with a molten metal. The coating composition functions to isolate the laminates (e.g., steel) of the rotor from a molten metal (e.g.

  • Patent number: 6780457
    Abstract: The invention discloses a process for producing a high-quality insulation on a conductor or conductor bundle of rotating electrical machines, in which, in successive immersion passes in a fluidized-bed sintering tank, internal corona-discharge protection, insulation and external corona-discharge protection are applied, in each case with layer thicknesses of ≦0.2 mm. The sintering and curing take place at temperatures of approx. 200° C., so that it is possible to use materials which satisfy the demands which are imposed on the insulation of conductors or conductor bundles of this type for rotating electrical machines. Furthermore, the production process, in particular the layer thickness selected for the individual layers, ensures that the individual layers are free of defects, so that it is impossible for there to be any partial discharges, which would otherwise lead to damage to the insulation.

  • Patent number: 6407472
    Abstract: The motor structure, which has a laminated structure of plural plates 1 and also has a stator pole assembly 10 formed with a component mounting portion, comprises a synthetic resin layer 6 which encloses and covers the plural plates 1 while holding the plates in a closely contacted state, overhang portions (8, 9) integral with the synthetic resin layer 6 and which serve to not only hold but also position motor components, and an insulating film 7′ which covers portions not coated with the synthetic resin. While the synthetic resin layer is formed on the surface of the lamination stack, pressure is applied to the laminated plates as constituents of the stator pole assembly from both upper and lower surfaces of the laminate. This application of pressure is performed using plate pressing projections formed in the mold.
