The core segments are designed to have the coils in a concentrated winding form and also in a m-series-connected-coil and n-parallel-connected-coil delta configuration where m is a natural number more than or equal to two, and n is a natural number or in a k-series-connected-coil and n-parallel-connected-coil delta configuration where k is an even number, and n is a natural number. The coils include U-phase coils working for a U-phase, W-phase coils working for a W-phase, and V-phase coils working for a V-phase. The U-phase coils, the W-phase coils, and the V-phase coils are arranged alternately in a first circumferential direction of the core. The winding also includes a plurality of power input wires and a plurality of coil-to-coil connecting wires.

Abstract: In a rotating armature, the numbers of teeth straddled by each of plural coil portions are all the same as each other, three. In plural windings that form the plural coil portions, three individual coil portions that, out of the plural coil portions, are disposed at uniform intervals around the circumferential direction of the armature core and are connected together in series are formed in each of the windings. In each of the windings including the three individual coil portions, one segment out of the plural segments is connected to another segment that has the same phase as the one segment out of the plural segments.

Abstract: Winding guide portions of an insulator are received in slots, respectively, of a core. Each of windings is electrically insulated from the core by a winding guide wall of a corresponding one of the winding guide portions in each of corresponding two of slots of the core. The winding guide wall of at least one of the winding guide portions is configured differently from the winding guide wall of each of the rest of the winding guide portions and includes a radial bottom wall section, which is radially outwardly spaced from a radial bottom wall section of a corresponding one of the slots by a predetermined distance and contacts a corresponding one of the windings.

Abstract: A total number of windings in an armature is an even number. The windings are divided into a first winding group and a second winding group. The windings of the first winding group are arranged one after another at generally equal angular intervals without overlapping with each other. The windings of the second winding group are arranged one after another at generally equal angular intervals without overlapping with each other and are wound separately from the windings of the first winding group.

Abstract: In a state in which a first divisional core and a second divisional core are arranged in a state spaced from each other and adjacent to each other, a first coil and a second coil are each wound around a tooth. The first coil and the second coil are in the same phase. In a state in which a plurality of divisional cores are arranged annularly so that their teeth are oriented in a radially inward direction, the first divisional core and the second divisional core are not adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction. A plurality of connection wires are shaped to converge at an end surface of a stator core. This facilitates the winding of the coils around the divisional cores. Further, the connection wires can be shortened.

Abstract: An insulator is mounted in an armature core. Coils are wound around teeth of the armature core by way of concentrated winding. A power feeding member, which supplies a current to the coils, includes a connecting portion. A separating portion, which is provided in the insulator, is located in the teeth. The separating portion separates each of the coils to a first portion and a second portion. The connecting portion is electrically connected to the first portion. Accordingly, while preventing damage to the coils, the coils are easily connected to the power feeding member.

Abstract: A coil of a winding is wound around teeth of an armature core for a predetermined number of times in a motor. A start lead of the winding connects between the coil and a corresponding start segment among a plurality of segments of a commutator. A finish lead of the winding connects between the coil and a corresponding finish segment among the plurality of segments. The finish segment is located adjacent to a diametrically opposed one of the plurality of segments, which is circumferentially displaced by about 180 degrees from the start segment and is thereby diametrically opposed to the start segment.

Abstract: A stator for a motor includes a stator core, an insulator, and coils. The stator core includes an annular portion and teeth, which extend radially from the annular portion. The stator core is divided into core segments in the circumferential direction. Each core segment has an arcuate portion and one of the teeth, which extends from the arcuate portion. The insulator insulates each coil wound around one of the teeth from the stator core. The insulator includes coupling portions at positions corresponding to the circumferential ends of the arcuate portions. Each coupling portion couples the adjacent core segments to be rotatable relative to each other. The insulator facilitates manufacture of the stator.
