  • Publication number: 20150028704
    Abstract: A high-output, high-efficiency and high-quality rotating electrical machine is provided which has a stator shaped to avoid interference between coil end portions even in cases where the coil space factor of stator coils is raised and the stator coils are formed by winding continuous wires, each having a rectangular cross-section, for high productivity. The stator coils include coils of plural turns straddling plural slots with the coils thus wound interconnected, to be continuous, with connectors. The stator has a stator core mounted, around an entire periphery thereof, with plural stator coils. The coil-end apex portions, disposed on both axial end sides of the stator core, are each approximately Z-shaped without any twisted portion. Each coil-end apex portion is divided into levels of different heights from the stator core end face in the axial direction. In this way, the thickness of overlapping coil layers is reduced to avoid interference between coil end portions.

  • Patent number: 7948140
    Abstract: When electric wires (joint conductors) are disposed adjacent each other in a peeled state of coatings, a gap corresponding to the total thickness of both conductors' insulating films as skin layers is formed between end joined face portions of the conductors. The gap becomes larger because the conductors are tapered. Therefore, the adhesion between both conductors is impaired, with a consequent fear of occurrence of joining imperfection. In opposed joined face portions of electric wires (joint conductors), the conductors are deformed from the tips of their axes to the joined face side in such a manner that exposed portions at the tips of the conductors and insulating film faces located in the vicinity thereof are flush with each other or the exposed portions are projected.

  • Patent number: 7213515
    Abstract: A data creating device for printing plates optimizes image data for use in forming printing plates using a printing press having a feed reel for feeding printing film onto a circumference of a plate cylinder from a circumference recess formed in the plate cylinder, a rewind reel for rewinding the printing film fed from the feed reel so as to draw the printing film from the circumference of the plate cylinder, and an image forming device for forming an image on the printing film placed on the circumference of the plate cylinder. The data creating device detects a maximum position of the image data in a plate transfer direction. The data creating device deletes data downstream of the maximum position in the plate transfer direction, thereby creating optimized image data. The data creating device stores the optimized image data in a memory to be used in forming the printing plate.
