  • Patent number: 8421282
    Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide a technique for easily controlling the output characteristic of a brushless motor in a power tool by adjusting the number of turns of a coil that forms a stator winding. A power tool has a brushless motor which includes a rotor 133 having a permanent magnet, a cylindrical stator, and three-phase stator windings which are installed on an inner circumferential side of the stator and rotationally drive the rotor. A plurality of slots are formed in an inside surface of the stator at predetermined intervals in a circumferential direction. Each of the three stator windings is formed by a plurality of coils wound through the slots of the stator and connected to each other. The total number of turns of the coils wound through the slots in each phase is the same in the three phases and not a multiple of the number of the slots in each phase.

  • Patent number: 8302286
    Abstract: A stator winding is manufactured by a forming step, a winding step, and a expanding step. In the forming step, an S-shaped offset shape is formed on a conductor part corresponding to a coil end part. Thereby, in a coil end part, it is possible to provide an expected shape stably at the coil end part. The conductor is wound around a bobbin in the winding step. In the winding step, a twisted shape is given to the conductor parts to be the inclined part of the coil end and the conductor part to be accommodated in a slot. In the expanding step, a preform product removed from the bobbin is expanded into a shape of the stator winding.

  • Patent number: 8299674
    Abstract: In an electric rotating machine, a stator coil is comprised of first and second winding groups. The stator coil is wound around a stator core in a concentrated winding manner so that the phase difference in electrical angle between each corresponding pair of windings of the first and second winding groups is equal to ?/6. Further, the windings of the first and second winding groups are connected to form ?-Y connections. Consequently, the sixth harmonic components of the electromagnetic forces created by the windings of the first winding group can be offset by those of the electromagnetic forces created the windings of the second winding group. As a result, the total magnetic noise and torque ripple generated in the machine can be reduced. Moreover, the machine can be driven with only a single three-phase inverter to achieve the effects of reducing the total magnetic noise and torque ripple.
