  • Patent number: 9722466
    Abstract: A rotary electric machine includes a stator in which a plurality of armatures each have a coil formed by a winding wire wound in plural layers around bobbins mounted to a magnetic pole tooth, which are disposed annularly on an inner circumference of a cylindrical frame. The coil is formed by the winding wire being wound with a constant feed pitch in parallel with slots of the bobbins in plural layers. The winding wire forming a first layer of the coil is shifted by half the feed pitch between a left side and a right side of a center axis of the coil as viewed from a plane perpendicular to a stacking direction of a stacked iron core.

  • Publication number: 20170163133
    Abstract: A predetermined part of one conductive wire is pressurized and plastically worked to form a slot portion having a desired cross section, a part separated from the slot portion by a predetermined dimension is pressed to form a top portion, and then a part separated from the top portion by a predetermined dimension is plastically worked to form the next slot portion. Through repetition of such steps, a conductive wire in which necessary numbers of slot portions and top portions are formed is manufactured. Using the top portion as a reference, the conductive wire is folded to form a coil end portion and is wound by a plurality of turns into a hexagonal shape, thereby forming a hexagonal coil in which the conductive wire is wound by a predetermined number of turns. In the hexagonal coil, bundles of the slot portions become two opposite sides and are inserted in the slots of the armature.

  • Publication number: 20170077768
    Abstract: In a core for a rotary electric machine, first end portions of back yoke portions are linked to second end portions of back yoke portions of adjacent core segments so as to be rotatable around pivot portions. Each of the core segments is configured by alternately laminating first core segment sheets and second core segment sheets. The pivot portions are constituted by interfitting protruding portions that are formed on the first core segment sheets. The core segments are displaceable relative to the adjacent core segments between a contracted position in which spacing between the magnetic pole tooth portions is contracted and an expanded position in which spacing between the magnetic pole tooth portions is expanded, when the core segment linked body is opened out rectilinearly.
