Abstract: A stator winding of a rotary electric machine includes windings for each pole of each phase being configured by a single layer lap wound coil. The single layer lap-wound coil includes combination coils each configured by two or more divided unit coils of the same phase being disposed one over the other in a radial direction inside slots of a stator core. The combination coils each comprise a first-row unit coil and a second-row unit coil disposed in a radially inner side of the stator core with respect to the first-row unit coil. A turns count of the first-row unit coil equals a turns count of the second-row unit coil. A count of lead wires of the first-row unit coil differs from a count of lead wires of the second-row unit coil.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a stator core includes die-cutting iron core materials from a band-shaped magnetic steel sheet and stacking the materials. Each material includes an inner circumference formed with three interconnecting lugs. At least one of the lugs included in one of two rows is located between the materials lengthwise adjacent to each other in the other row. Marginal regions are located in parts of the sheet located between the lugs of the materials adjacent to each other in a lengthwise direction of the sheet in a common row, between the material of the one row and the material of the other row and between the materials to be die-cut and each end of the sheet, respectively. The marginal regions are sized to be approximate to a web width in order to join remaining materials after the materials have been die-cut.

Abstract: A rotor core includes a rotor core includes a plurality of rotor core blocks each of which is constituted by stacking annular sheet-like core materials in a direction of sheet thickness of each core material and a plurality of catch recesses circumferentially disposed in an inner circumference of each core material at an interval of a predetermined angle so as to extend radially outward, the catch recesses having respective circumferential dimensions equal to each other and different radial depths. In each rotor core block, a plurality of the core materials is stacked while the catch recesses having an identical configuration are aligned. The rotor core blocks have respective outer peripheries which are shifted from each other according to the depths of the catch recesses caught by a bar-shaped aligning jig when the catch recesses of the rotor core blocks are caught by the aligning jig.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a stator core includes die-cutting iron core materials from a band-shaped magnetic steel sheet, each iron core material being formed into an annular shape and having m number of interconnecting lugs protruding radially outward from an annular outer circumference of the magnetic steel sheet when m is equal to or larger than 2, and stacking a number of the iron core materials. In the die-cutting, parts of the magnetic steel sheet to be die-cut as the iron core material are arranged in n number of rows in a widthwise direction of the magnetic steel sheet when n is an integer equal to or larger than 2. Each one of the iron core materials included in one of n number of rows is located between the iron core materials lengthwise adjacent to each other in the row next to the one row.

Abstract: A rotor core includes m number of rotor core blocks constituted by stacking annular sheet-like core materials in a direction of sheet thickness of each core material where m is an integer that is 2 or larger than 2, slots circumferentially arranged at regular intervals in an outer circumference of each core material, m number of catch recesses circumferentially disposed in an inner circumference of each core material at an interval obtained by (360÷m)° so as to extend radially outward, the catch recesses having an equal circumferential length and a different radially outward depth. Each rotor core block is constituted by stacking the core materials so that the catch recesses having an identical configuration in the direction of sheet thickness of each rotor core block correspond with one another. Each rotor core block is circumferentially shifted relatively by (360÷m)° from a location where the catch recesses correspond with one another.
