  • Publication number: 20190199158
    Abstract: A rotating electrical machine that comprises: a stator in which a plurality of core units that have a core and a coil are annularly arranged around a shaft center; a rotor that faces a flux end surface of the stator in the shaft-center direction with a prescribed gap therebetween; a housing that houses the stator and the rotor and has an outlet that guides a lead wire for the stator to the outside; and a resin that integrally molds the stator and an inner circumferential surface of the housing that includes the outlet. The inner diameter of the outlet becomes larger from the shaft-center side to the radial-direction outside. The outlet has an elastic member that keeps the resin from flowing to the outside of the housing. The elastic member has a hollow part through which the lead wire passes from the shaft-center side to the radial-direction outside. Pressure from a rotary-shaft radial direction seals between the hollow part and the lead wire.

  • Publication number: 20170194823
    Abstract: This invention reduces the shaft voltage of an axial-air-gap dynamo-electric machine while ensuring high output and high efficiency. Said axial-air-gap dynamo-electric machine comprises the following: a stator comprising a plurality of stator cores, each of which comprises a core and a coil, arranged in a circle around a shaft; a housing, the inside surface of which faces the stator radially; and at least one rotor, the surface of which faces the surface of the stator with a prescribed air gap interposed therebetween in the radial direction of the shaft. The rotor has, on the outside thereof, a conductive section comprising a conductive member. This axial-air-gap dynamo-electric machine has a first region where the inside surface of the housing faces the aforementioned conductive section radially and a second region, closer to the stator than the first region is, that extends to the coil side surfaces that face the rotor.

  • Publication number: 20170093244
    Abstract: Using a single bobbin, this invention makes the respective turn counts of windings in an axial-air-gap rotating electric machine the same and minimizes the lengths of connecting wires between continuous windings regardless of the continuous turn count, the direction in which each winding is wound, and whether the number of stages is odd or even. The aforementioned bobbin, which has a tubular shape that substantially matches the exterior shape of a core, is provided with flanges that extend outwards from near the respective openings in the bobbin. One of said flanges has two first notches, and the other flange has at least one second notch. The axial positions of the starting ends and finishing ends of coils on adjacent stator cores are the same, and the flanges containing the notches through which the ends of said coils are run are on the same side with respect to the abovementioned openings.
