  • Patent number: 9419490
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to connection technology for providing a sufficient connection strength in bonding a wire material and a twisted wire each having a large diameter when directly bonding the wire material, which is used for a stator of an electric motor and a generator, and the twisted wire serving as a lead wire by ultrasonic bonding. A twisted wire having a plurality of core wires is hardened by ultrasonic vibration using a pressurized vibration tool when the twisted wire is connected to a wire material. After that, the twisted wire is reversed such that the hardened surface thereof faces the wire material and then comes into contact with the wire material. In this state, ultrasonic waves are applied to the hardened surface from the opposite side using the vibration tool, thereby connecting the hardened surface of the twisted wire and the wire material.

  • Patent number: 8823236
    Abstract: An object is to provide a rotating electric machine offering a high output and high efficiency by balancing inductance of each phase even if a stator is used in which stator windings of different phases are disposed in a slot of a stator core in a three-phase winding. A stator 5 includes a stator core 6 having a plurality of slots arrayed circumferentially and opening to an inner peripheral surface and a stator winding 7 wound in each of the slots. The stator winding 7 is divided into at least two for each phase (7U-A, 7U-B, 7V-A, 7V-B, 7W-A, 7W-B). After insertion of the stator core 6, the stator winding of each phase is connected in parallel or in series. The stator winding of each phase is disposed in slots such that combined inductance of different phases is equalized.
