Patent number: 8779642Abstract: An electric power distribution member for stator is a member for connecting a plurality of coils to one another, each having coil opposing end portions located on an inner circumferential side and on an outer circumferential side in a radial direction of a stator, and it includes a plurality of conductor pieces and a plurality of insulating holding portions. The conductor piece has a first connection end portion in a flat plate shape connected to an inner circumferential side end portion of a coil and a second connection end portion in a flat plate shape connected to an outer circumferential side end portion of another coil. In addition, the insulating holding portion integrally holds adjacent conductor pieces at a distance from each other at a portion other than the opposing connection end portions of each conductor piece. The insulating holding portions are arranged in a manner discrete from one another.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2010Date of Patent: July 15, 2014Assignees: Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd., Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Masaki Matsuyama, Yutaka Komatsu, Yasuhiro Endo, Masao Okumura, Takahiro Kayano

Patent number: 8736130Abstract: Segmented stator assemblies having a plurality of stator segments and a plurality of end caps are disclosed. According to one example embodiment, a segmented stator assembly includes a plurality of stator segments and a plurality of end caps. Each stator segment has a yoke portion and a tooth portion extending from the yoke portion. Each end cap is positioned over one of the stator segments. Each end cap includes a body portion positioned at least partially over the yoke portion of its associated stator segment. At least one of the body portions includes at least a first post that cooperates with a post of an adjacent end cap to define a first wire management tie-down. The stator assembly further includes a stator wire coupled to the first wire management tie-down. Stator assemblies and end caps having other wire management and routing features are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2013Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: Nidec Motor CorporationInventors: Chetan O. Modi, Mark E. Carrier, Jason J. Jurkowski

Patent number: 8736129Abstract: An example end cap of a stator segment is provided for use in locating wires in a segmented stator assembly in desired positions. The end cap generally includes a body and an inboard wall. An identifier is defined by the inboard wall of the end cap for use in determining wire sizes to be used with the end cap. Terminal pockets are provided in the body for receiving the wires and making desired electrical connections, and steps located in the terminal pockets help secure the connectors in the terminal pockets. Plateaus, and troughs defined in the plateaus, are located outside the terminal pockets for use in trimming wires received in the terminal pockets as desired. And, retaining structures are located around the end cap to help with locating the wires in the desired positions.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2010Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: Emerson Electric Co.Inventors: William Wang, Paul G. Michaels, Brian P. Fogarty, J. Scott Rose, Donald R. Shaw, Jason J. Jurkowski
