Patent number: 7701109Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to make it possible to easily wind a stator winding, enhance an occupied ratio in a stator core, reduce a winding resistance because there is no coil end, and change a field magnetic flux in accordance with a use. Stator pawl magnetic poles of a stator core extend from both sides in an axial direction alternately at locations opposed to a rotor to form a plurality of magnetic poles. With this stator core, it is only necessary to annularly wind a stator winding. Therefore, it is possible to enhance operability and an occupied ratio, and since there is no coil end, it is possible to reduce winding resistance. Since the rotor is a Randall type rotor having a field winding and a rotor pawl magnetic pole, it is possible to change the field magnetic flux in accordance with a use.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2007Date of Patent: April 20, 2010Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Toshio Ishikawa, Minoru Yabuki, Hiroshi Kanazawa, Yuji Enomoto, Yoshihisa Ishikawa

Patent number: 7692344Abstract: In a motor having a pawl-shaped magnetic pole, if a coil is wound like a ring shape so as to be formed, one leader line can be generally drawn out to an external portion from a position close to an outer periphery of a stator, however, the other leader line is drawn out to the external portion from an inner periphery of the stator. Accordingly, the leader line occupies a part of the inner space formed by the stator core, so that there is generated a problem that a space factor of the coil is reduced. Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to improve the space factor of the coil. In order to achieve the object mentioned above, a space passing wirings of a plurality of coils therethrough is provided in a part of the pawl-shaped magnetic pole of the stator core of the stator having the pawl-shaped magnetic pole.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2006Date of Patent: April 6, 2010Assignee: Hitachi Industrial Equipment Systems Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ryoso Masaki, Kazuhide Ebine, Yuji Enomoto, Motoya Ito
