BACKGROUND

(a) Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a stator for a synchronous motor, and more particularly, to a stator for a synchronous motor, which is used as a power source for an electric vehicle and a hybrid vehicle.

(b) Description of the Related Art

In general, a synchronous motor that is a power source for hybrid and electric vehicles includes a stator, and a rotor. The stator is fixed to a periphery of the rotor. In addition, the rotor is rotated to output power of the synchronous motor to the exterior.

Moreover, the stator transmits rotational force to the rotor to rotate the rotor. The rotor is formed in a cylindrical shape, and the stator is formed in a hollow cylindrical shape. In addition, the rotor is inserted into a hollow portion of the stator.

Armature coils are disposed at the stator in a circumferential direction of the stator, and permanent magnets are disposed at the rotor in a circumferential direction of the rotor. In addition, the rotor is rotated as the permanent magnets are pushed in one direction by magnetic fields formed at the armature coils. Moreover, functions of the synchronous motor may be changed based on configurations of the armature coils and the permanent magnets.

When a current is applied to the armature coils, the armature coils become electromagnets. Therefore, torque of the synchronous motor is produced by attractive force and repulsive force between the armature coils and the permanent magnets by north (N) poles and south (S) poles of the armature coils, which became electromagnets, and the permanent magnets.

A winding wire path of the armature coil provided at the stator configures a series circuit or a parallel circuit based on a design of the synchronous motor. In addition, a direction of the current, which flows along the winding wire path of the armature coil, may be reversed to generate an alternating magnetic field by the stator. Meanwhile, a type of winding of the armature coil includes a fractional pitch winding using a coil wherein the pitch between two sides thereof is shorter than one magnetic pole pitch, and a full pitch winding using a coil wherein the pitch between two sides thereof is the same to one magnetic pole pitch. In the winding of the armature coil of the related art, in/out direction of the coil is set to generate the alternating magnetic field by a predetermined rule.

However, the winding of the armature coil in which the in/out direction is set as described above may excessively raise resistance of a phase drawing out unit of the armature coil. In addition, resistance imbalance of the armature coil may be caused.

The above information disclosed in this section is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the invention and therefore it may contain information that does not form the prior art that is already known in this country to a person of ordinary skill in the art.

SUMMARY

The two winding methods may be symmetrically used to set a distance from the first phase drawing out slot to a fourth phase drawing out slot to be 1 by setting the first phase drawing out slot and the fourth phase drawing out slot as a starting point.

The number of the plurality of phase drawing out slots may be the number of the slots divided by twelve.

The at least two winding methods may be winding methods of turning around twelve slots including the N-pole and the S-pole one by one, and may include one method in which the armature coil may be wound to turn the armature coil sequentially around six slots, in which the N-poles may be generated, in a clockwise direction, and then sequentially turn around the other six slots, in which the S-poles may be generated, in a counterclockwise direction, and a second method in which the armature coil may be wound to turn the armature coil sequentially around six slots, in which the S-poles may be generated, in a counterclockwise direction, and then sequentially turn around the other six slots, in which the N-poles may be generated, in a clockwise direction.

As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

An exemplary embodiment of the present invention will hereinafter be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is an exemplary view illustrating an aspect in which a C-phase alternating magnetic field is generated at a stator for a synchronous motor according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an exemplary view illustrating an aspect in which a B-phase alternating magnetic field is generated at a stator for a synchronous motor according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is an exemplary view illustrating an aspect in which an A-phase alternating magnetic field is generated at a stator for a synchronous motor according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

As illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, a stator 100 for a synchronous motor may include a plurality of slots of the number of magnetic poles multiplied by the number of phases. The stator 100 for a synchronous motor, which is illustrated in FIGS. 1 to 3, implements eight magnetic poles, an A phase, a B phase, and a C phase. The eight-pole three-phase stator 100 may include the slots in multiples of twenty-four, and FIGS. 1 to 3 illustrate the stator 100 including forty-eight slots 1 to 48. Meanwhile, the number of magnetic poles may be an even number and thus the number of N-poles may be the same as the number of S-poles, and may be variously changed by the person skilled in the art. For example, a ten-pole three-phase stator 100 may include slots in multiples of thirty. However, when six slots form one magnetic pole, the stator 100 may include slots in multiples of twelve.

Hereinafter, an exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the eight-pole three-phase stator 100 having the forty-eight slots.

Armature coils 110 may be disposed at the forty-eight slots 1 to 48, respectively. Moreover, each of the armature coils 110 which are disposed at the forty-eight slots 1 to 48 may be wound to be connected to each other. The stator 100 for the synchronous motor may be formed in a hollow cylindrical shape, and a rotor (not illustrated) may be disposed in a hollow portion of the stator 100. The configuration of the synchronous motor is apparent to the person skilled in the art, and therefore a more detailed description will be omitted.

The forty-eight slots 1 to 48 may be radially formed from the hollow portion of the stator 100. In addition, each shape of the forty-eight slots 1 to 48 may be the same as each other. The A phase, the B phase, and the C phase mean three phases in which positions of the N-poles and the S-poles of the armature coils 110, which became electromagnets, may be different from each other as currents flow to the armature coil 110 via different paths. In addition, as the A phase, the B phase, and the C phase are alternately implemented, the rotor may be rotated.

In the C phase of FIG. 1, the N-poles may be generated from No. 1 slot 1 to No. 6 slot 6, and the S-poles are generated from No. 7 slot 7 to No. 12 slot 12. In addition, as six slots become a single unit in the same method, the N-poles and the S-poles are alternately generated from No. 13 slot 13 to No. 48 slot 48. Moreover, directions of currents, which flow through the armature coil 110, are opposite to each other in the slot in which the N-pole is generated and the slot in which the S-pole is generated. That is, Winding wire paths of the armature coil 110 are opposite to each other in the slot in which the N-pole is generated and the slot in which the S-pole is generated. For example, when a Winding wire path of the armature coil 110 is formed in a counterclockwise direction by setting slot No. 1 to slot No. 6 as a single unit, a winding wire path of the armature coil 110 may be formed in a clockwise direction by setting slot No. 7 to slot No. 12 as a single unit.

In the B phase of FIG. 2, the N-poles may be generated from slot No. 5 to slot No. 10, and the S-poles may be generated from slot No. 11 to slot No. 16. In addition, as six slots are arranged a single unit in the same method, the N-poles and the S-poles may be alternately generated from slot No. 17 to slot No. 4. Moreover, directions of currents, which flow through the armature coil 110, may be opposite to each other in the slot in which the N-pole is generated and the slot in which the S-pole is generated. In other words, winding wire paths of the armature coil 110 may be opposite to each other in the slot in which the N-pole is generated and the slot in which the S-pole is generated. For example, when a winding wire path of the armature coil 110 is formed in a counterclockwise direction by setting slot No. 5 to slot No. 10 as a single unit, a winding wire path of the armature coil 110 may be formed in a clockwise direction by arranging slot No. 11 to slot No. 16 as a single unit.

In the A phase of FIG. 3, the N-poles may be generated from slot No. 9 to slot No. 14, and the S-poles may be generated from slot No. 15 to slot No. 20. In addition, as six slots are arranged as a single unit in the same method, the N-poles and the S-poles may be alternately generated from slot No. 21 to slot No. 8. Moreover, directions of currents, which flow through the armature coil 110, may be opposite to each other in the slot in which the N-pole is generated and the slot in which the S-pole is generated. In other words, winding wire paths of the armature coil 110 may be opposite to each other in the slot in which the N-pole is generated and the slot in which the S-pole is generated. For example, when a winding wire path of the armature coil 110 is formed in a counterclockwise direction by setting slot No. 9 to slot No. 14 as a single unit, a winding wire path of the armature coil 110 may be formed in a clockwise direction by setting slot No. 15 to slot No. 20 as a single unit.

Moreover, in FIGS. 1 to 3, arrows of the N-poles and the S-poles indicate directions of force applied to the rotor by attractive force and repulsive force formed at the N-poles and the S-poles. FIG. 4 is an exemplary view illustrating a winding wire path of an armature coil according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 5 is an exemplary view illustrating a winding wire path of an armature coil according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

As illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5, the armature coil 110 may include a phase drawing out unit 112, and a neutral point wire connection portion 114. In addition, the winding wire paths of the armature coil 110 may be opposite to each other in slots in which poles different from each other are generated. The arrow of FIG. 4 indicates a direction in which the armature coil 110 is wound.

The phase drawing out unit 112 is a portion where the A phase, the B phase, or the C phase may be drawn out. In other words, the phase drawing out unit 112 is a slot which may be a starting point of six slots arranged to be a single unit. The neutral point wire connection portion 114 is a portion where the three phases including the A phase, the B phase, and the C phase may be accessed in common In other words, the neutral point wire connection portion 114 is a portion where the armature coil 110, which is wound to implement the A phase, the B phase, and the C phase, may be connected by wire.

In FIG. 4, Slot 1 and Slot 2 may be the slots which may be a starting point and an end point of six slots arranged to be a single unit. For example, when Slot 1 is slot No. 1, Slot 2 may be slot No. 6, when Slot 1 is slot No. 5, Slot 2 may be slot No. 10, and when Slot 1 is slot No. 9, Slot 2 may be slot No. 14. In addition, Slot 3 and Slot 4 may be the slots which may be a starting point and an end point of six slots arranged to be a single unit, and Slot 3 may be a slot that is a neighboring slot to Slot 2. For example, when Slot 2 is slot No. 6, Slot 3 is slot No. 7, and Slot 4 is slot No. 12.

Moreover, as the armature coil 110 is wound to sequentially pass through Slot 1, Slot 2, Slot 4 and Slot 3, a direction of the armature coil 110 wound at Slot 1 and Slot 2 and a direction of the armature coil 110 wound at Slot 4 and Slot 3 may be opposite to each other. In addition, Slot 1 may be a phase drawing out slot where the phase drawing out unit 112 is disposed, and Slot 3 may be a neutral point slot where the neutral point wire connection portion 114 is disposed.

In FIG. 5, Slot 5 and Slot 6 may be the slots which may be a starting point and an end point of six slots arranged to be a single unit. For example, when Slot 5 is slot No. 37, Slot 6 may be slot No. 42, when Slot 5 is slot No. 41, Slot 6 may be slot No. 46, and when Slot 5 is slot No. 45, Slot 6 may be slot No. 2. In addition, Slot 7 and Slot 8 may be the slots which may be a starting point and an end point of six slots arranged to be a single unit, and

Slot 7 may be a slot that is a neighboring slot to Slot 6. For example, when Slot 6 is slot No. 42, Slot 7 is slot No. 43, and Slot 8 is slot No. 48.

Furthermore, as the armature coil 110 is wound to sequentially pass through Slot 8, Slot 7, Slot 5 and Slot 6, a direction of the armature coil 110 wound at Slot 8 and Slot 7 and a direction of the armature coil 110 wound at Slot 5 and Slot 6 may be opposite to each other.

In addition, Slot 8 may be a phase drawing out slot where the phase drawing out unit 112 is disposed, and Slot 6 may be a neutral point slot where the neutral point wire connection portion 114 is disposed.

In particular, a method in which the armature coil 110 sequentially passes through Slot 1, Slot 2, Slot 4, and Slot 3 may be a winding method in which the armature coil may be wound to sequentially turn the armature coil around six slots, in which the N-poles may be generated, in a clockwise direction, and then sequentially turn around the other six slots, in which the S-poles may be generated, in a counterclockwise direction. In addition, a method in which the armature coil 110 sequentially passes through Slot 8, Slot 7, Slot 5, and Slot 6 may be a winding method in which the armature coil may be wound to sequentially turn the armature coil around six slots, in which the S-poles may be generated, in a counterclockwise direction, and then sequentially turn around the other six slots, in which the N-poles may be generated, in a clockwise direction.

The two winding methods may be winding methods that turn the armature coil 110 around twelve slots including the N-pole and the S-pole one by one. In addition, the slots may be determined in a sequential order from No. 1 slot to the last numbered slot in a clockwise direction of a circumference of the stator 100.

When the number of slots is an even multiple of twelve, the method, which sequentially passes through Slot 1, Slot 2, Slot 4 and Slot 3, may be used from No. 1 slot to the slot having half the number of slots, and the method, which sequentially passes through Slot 8, Slot 7, Slot 5, and Slot 6, may be used from the next slot of the slot having half the number of slots to the last numbered slot. In addition, when the number of slots is an odd multiple of twelve, the method, which sequentially passes through Slot 1, Slot 2, Slot 4 and Slot 3, may be used from No. 1 slot to the slot numbered by (the number of the slots/2)+6, and the method, which sequentially passes through Slot 8, Slot 7, Slot 5, and Slot 6, may be used from the slot numbered by (the number of the slots/2)+7 to the last numbered slot.

FIG. 6 is an exemplary view illustrating a method of drawing out a stator for a synchronous motor according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. In addition, methods of drawing out the stator 100 at the C phase, the B phase, and the A phase are sequentially illustrated from top to bottom in FIG. 6.

The stator 100, which implements the C phase, may include four phase drawing out slots C1, C2, C3 and C4, and four neutral point slots Nc1, Nc2, Nc3, and Nc4.

In addition, the armature coil 110, which may be disposed at the slot Nos. 29 to 40, and the armature coil 110, which may be disposed at the slot Nos. 41 to 4, may be wound to implement the B phase according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention which is illustrated in FIG. 5. Therefore, slot No. 40 and slot No. 4 may be the phase drawing out slots B2 and B3, and slot No. 34 and slot No. 46 may be the neutral point slots Nb2 and Nb3.

The stator 100, which implements the A phase, may include four phase drawing out slots A1, A2, A3, and A4, and four neutral point slots Na1, Na2, Na3, and Na4.

In addition, the armature coil 110, which may be disposed at the slot Nos. 33 to 44, and the armature coil 110, which may be disposed at the slot Nos. 45 to 8, may be wound to implement the A phase according to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention which is illustrated in

wherein the armature coil alternately implements N-poles and S-poles by arranging a group of six slots as a single unit when the current is applied to the armature coil,

wherein each slot includes a plurality of phase drawing out slots, and

wherein one phase drawing out slot of the plurality of phase drawing out slots is set as a first phase drawing out slot when the order of the plurality of phase drawing out slots is determined in a clockwise direction,

wherein at least two methods of winding the armature coil to turn around the slot are used to maintain a distance from the first phase drawing out slot to the last phase drawing out slot as a minimum value by setting a cell between neighboring slots as a unit.

8. The stator for a synchronous motor of claim 7, wherein the number of the plurality of phase drawing out slots is the number of the slots divided by twelve.

9. The stator for a synchronous motor of claim 7, wherein the at least two winding methods include:

winding methods of turning around twelve slots including the N-pole and the S-pole one by one, and

a first method in which the armature coil is wound to sequentially turn the armature coil around six slots, in which the N-poles are generated, in a clockwise direction, and then sequentially turns around the other six slots, in which the S-poles are generated, in a counterclockwise direction, and

a second method in which the armature coil is wound to sequentially turn the armature coil sequentially turns around six slots, in which the S-poles are generated, in a counterclockwise direction, and then sequentially turns around the other six slots, in which the N-poles are generated, in a clockwise direction.

10. The stator for a synchronous motor of claim 7, wherein:

the at least two winding methods are winding methods that turn around twelve slots including the N-pole and the S-pole one by one,

the slots are determined in sequential order from No. 1 slot to the last numbered slot in a clockwise direction, and

when the number of slots is an even multiple of twelve, the first method is used from No. 1 slot to the slot having half the number of slots, and the second method is used from the next slot of the slot having half the number of slots to the last numbered slot.

11. The stator for a synchronous motor of claim 7, wherein:

the at least two winding methods are winding methods that turn around twelve slots including the N-pole and the S-pole one by one,

the slots are determined in sequential order from No. 1 slot to the last numbered slot in a clockwise direction, and

when the number of slots is an odd multiple of twelve, the first method is used from No. 1 slot to the slot numbered by (the number of the slots/2)+6, and the second method is used from the slot numbered by (the number of the slots/2)+7 to the last numbered slot.
