  • Publication number: 20100164317
    Abstract: An automotive generator that includes a Lundell rotor. First and second protruding portions are disposed so as to project from inner wall surfaces of portions of first and second yoke portions at root portions of first and second claw-shaped magnetic pole portions, and first and second recess portions are recessed into inner wall surfaces of portions of the first and second yoke portions that face the second and first protruding portions. In addition, a shape of a region in which the field coil is disposed is configured into a wave shape that has a cross-sectional shape in a plane that includes a central axis of the pole core that is approximately constant in a circumferential direction and that zigzags alternately in an axial direction at positions of each of the first and second claw-shaped magnetic pole portions.

  • Publication number: 20100096941
    Abstract: A dynamoelectric machine including first and second permanent magnets held by first and second magnet seats on first and second yoke portions so as to face inner circumferential surfaces of tip end portions of first and second claw-shaped magnetic pole portions. The first and second permanent magnets are magnetically oriented in a reverse direction to orientation of a magnetic field that the field coil produces. The dynamoelectric machine enables permanent magnet holding reliability to be increased, induced voltage during no-load de-energization to be suppressed, and thermal demagnetization of magnets due to high-frequency magnetic fields that are induced by stator slots to be avoided.

  • Patent number: 7683269
    Abstract: A terminal electrode body on a substrate is exposed relative to a resin layer, protruding out beyond the side of the resin layer. That is, the terminal electrode body is not covered by the resin layer. The electronic element is covered by an insulating layer and the terminal electrode body and the electronic element are electrically connected. Hence, an electric signal applied to the terminal electrode body can be transmitted to the electronic element. A cover layer covers the terminal electrode body and the boundary between the terminal electrode body and the resin layer.
