  • Patent number: 9847703
    Abstract: In a rotor manufacturing method, a magnetic body is moved by being pushed by a pusher along a guide surface of a guide portion, and the magnetic body is in a stated of being biased to the guide surface since the magnetic body is urged by a restriction portion. Therefore, the magnetic body can slide reliably between the guide portion and the restriction portion while restricting an insertion posture of the magnetic body. Thus, even if a wall surface of a magnet insertion hole is provided with a protrusion, when the magnetic body slides with the guide surface as a reference, the magnetic body will not abut against the protrusion, and the magnetic body can be reliably loaded into the magnet insertion hole.

  • Publication number: 20160094097
    Abstract: A rotor includes a stacked body including stackable steel plates each formed by punching multiple magnet insertion holes in a steel plate with an insulation film at regular intervals in the circumferential direction and stacked in the rotational axis extending direction; and magnets disposed in the magnet insertion holes. A peripheral edge of each magnet insertion hole is provided with a projection projecting toward the magnet. The stackable steel plates constituting the stacked body include first and second stackable steel plates having the same shape, and are stacked such that the second stackable steel plate is in at least one of a rotation relation about the rotational axis and a turn-over relation with the first stackable steel plate such that the projections adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction are arranged at positions offset from each other in the stackable steel plate stacking direction.

  • Patent number: 9287743
    Abstract: Disclosed are a multilayered wound coil, a stator, and a manufacturing method therefor. The stator is provided with: a stator core comprising laminated steel sheets; and a coil which is wound around a teeth section formed on the stator core and has a plurality of layers formed in the circumferential direction of the stator core. The winding of the coil proceeds in either the radial direction or the circumferential direction of the stator core, whichever direction has fewer adjacent conductors, and doubles back at the end in said direction. This reduces the difference in potential between adjacent conductors, making it possible to ensure insulation between adjacent conductors even with a thinner insulating film.
