Publication number: 20240186870Abstract: A method for manufacturing a compressor includes fixing a stator core to an inside of a barrel via a resin member by shrink fit. An outer peripheral surface of the resin member is a first joining surface. A surface in contact with the first joining surface on an inner peripheral surface of the barrel is a second joining surface. The fixing the stator core to the inside of the barrel includes joining the first joining surface to the second joining surface. Upon joining, to the second joining surface, an intermediate portion of the first joining surface between a first end and a second end facing each other, spaces between the first joining surface and the second joining surface are formed between the first end and the intermediate portion and between the second end and the intermediate portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 13, 2024Publication date: June 6, 2024Inventors: Satoshi YAMAMOTO, Masatoshi ITOU, Takahiro IMAI, Shoujirou NAKA, Daisuke HIRATSUKA

Patent number: 11770032Abstract: A stator core of an electric motor includes a core body, a slot, and an insulating member. The insulating member is integrated with the core body and has a linear expansion coefficient different from the core body. The insulating member includes, at a peripheral wall portion, a plurality of contact portions extending throughout a cylinder axial direction of the stator core and being in contact with the peripheral wall portion, and a noncontact portion positioned between adjacent ones of the contact portions. The noncontact portion extends throughout the cylinder axial direction and is not in contact with the peripheral wall portion. The peripheral wall portion has an inner peripheral wall portion forming a peripheral wall of the slot, and an outer peripheral wall portion forming an outer peripheral wall of the core body. The insulating member is located at at least one of the inner and outer peripheral wall portions.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2020Date of Patent: September 26, 2023Assignee: Daikin Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Shoujirou Naka, Rei Kondou
