  • Publication number: 20240186856
    Abstract: A coil for a motor includes a coil which is formed of a conductor wound around an axis; and a plurality of cooling portions which are provided to correspond to different winding layers in the conductor. Each of the cooling portions includes a primary portion protruding from the winding layer radially outward and a secondary portion extending from a tip of the primary portion toward a first side in a direction of the axis. The primary portions are formed so that the protrusion length of one of the primary portions, which is located closer to a second side in the direction of the axis than another of the primary portions, is longer than that of the another of the primary portions.

  • Publication number: 20240154510
    Abstract: A magnetic geared rotating machine, includes: a stator which includes a plurality of stator magnets arranged so as to be aligned in a circumferential direction; a rotor which includes a plurality of rotor magnets arranged so as to be aligned in the circumferential direction, and in which the number of magnetic poles of the plurality of rotor magnets is less than the number of magnetic poles of the plurality of stator magnets; and a magnetic pole piece rotor which includes a plurality of magnetic pole pieces arranged so as to be aligned in the circumferential direction. Each of the magnetic pole pieces has: a first face opposed to the rotor in a radial direction; and a second face opposed to the stator in the radial direction and having a circumferential length longer than a circumferential length of the first face.

  • Patent number: 11843282
    Abstract: A rotor for an electric motor includes: a rotating element extending along an axis; and a retaining body formed of metal and configured to hold the rotating element from an outer peripheral side, where the retaining body includes: a plurality of annular members annularly surrounding an outer peripheral surface of the rotating element and arranged at intervals in the axis direction; and a plurality of connecting members arranged in a circumferential direction between the annular members adjacent to each other so as to connect the annular members. As a result, a path of eddy current is limited and the eddy current can be reduced.

  • Publication number: 20230327530
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a coil includes: a step of forming a winding portion extending twisting around an axis along a direction of the axis, the winding portion including a portion in an extending direction of the winding portion, the portion being a deformation allowing portion having a lower rigidity than the other portion; a step of forming an insulation film on the winding portion in the extending direction of the winding portion; and a step of compressing the winding portion on which the insulation film is formed, in the direction of the axis.

  • Publication number: 20230318385
    Abstract: A coil wire rod includes a conductor formed of a conductive material, having a uniform outer peripheral shape, and extending in a direction of an axis. The conductor is divided by a division region having a radial shape around the axis in a cross-sectional view orthogonal to the direction of the axis and includes a plurality of stranded wires each extending in the direction of the axis. The division region is twisted about the axis toward the direction of the axis in at least a part in the direction of the axis.
