Patent number: 8067868Abstract: In a stator structure 1 of an outer rotor generator, a pressing portion 33 provided on a first portion 31 of a connecting terminal 30 is configured to protrude inward in the radial direction of an annular coupler 20 when the connecting terminal 30 is attached to the coupler 20. The coupler 20 is formed with a circular cylindrical guide protrusion 23, and an outlet of a stator winding 5 having wound on a salient pole 10b is configured to be guided by the guide protrusion 23, bent inward in the radial direction and reach the pressing portion 33. After fusing processing, the first portion 31 on which the pressing portion 33 is provided is bent at a right angle toward a side opposed to a side with which the stator winding 5 is connected, and then a distal end thereof is locked at a lock portion 26.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2009Date of Patent: November 29, 2011Assignee: Honda Motor Co., Ltd.Inventor: Yasuhiro Shinkawa

Patent number: 6525430Abstract: An engine generator comprises a fan cover made of die-cast aluminum alloy, and a power control unit including an aluminum base sheet. The base sheet has a power control circuit formed thereon. The fan cover includes a mounting portion to be attached to the power control unit. When the power control unit is attached to the fan cover, a surface of the aluminum base sheet comes into intimate contact with an outer surface of the mounting portion. Heat generated at the unit is transmitted to the fan cover, and then released from the fan cover serving as a heat releasing member.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2000Date of Patent: February 25, 2003Assignee: Honda Giken Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Kouichi Asai, Ryuji Tsuru, Hiroyuki Eguchi, Yasuhiro Shinkawa
