  • Patent number: 8264115
    Abstract: A stator includes a hollow cylindrical stator core and a stator coil comprised of electric wires. Each of the electric wires has n in-slot portions and (n?1) turn portions, where n?4. The in-slot portions are sequentially received in p slots of the stator core, where p?n. The turn portions are located outside the slots to connect adjacent pairs of the in-slot portions. The radial distances from the longitudinal axis of the stator core to the first to the nth in-slot portions successively decrease. Each of the electric wires further includes bulges. Each of the bulges is formed, on a surface of a corresponding one of the in-slot portions or a surface of a portion of the electric wire which falls on an imaginary line extending axially from the corresponding in-slot portion, so as to protrude from the corresponding in-slot portion in a radial direction.

    Abstract: A motor including a stator and rotor. The stator includes a stator core, slot portions and coils. The stator core includes stator core pieces with teeth portion having a distal end portion and two side portions, a yoke portion, and a claw portion formed at one of the two side portions. At the distal end portion, the stator core pieces are connected so that claw portions protrude in the same circumferential direction to form the stator core into a cylindrical shape. The slot portions are formed between adjacent teeth portions and between the stator core pieces. The coils form three phases which are inserted into the slot portions, are bridged between two of the slot portions and include end portions that protrude from an edge face of the stator core in an axial direction. The coils are arranged so that the end portions are intersected with each other.

  • Publication number: 20120187795
    Abstract: The present invention relates to armature windings for DC electrical machines, and in particular to those that use electronic commutation and have relatively few slots per pole-pair. The armature windings are particularly well suited for use with rotating DC electrical machines that have a large diameter and a large number of poles such as those that might be directly coupled to the turbine blade assembly of a wind turbine. The armature winding is arranged in relation to the magnetic field generated by a field winding or by permanent magnets such that a number of commutation events during the time taken for the relative movement between the armature and the field system of one pole-pair is much larger than the number of coils per pole-pair.

  • Patent number: 8215001
    Abstract: A tapered cage coil is prepared, having a small-diameter top coil end 101 and a large-diameter base coil end. The tapered cage coil is axially inserted into a stator core. Then, the tapered cage coil is radially expanded to thrust slot-accommodated portions of the coil into slots of the stator core. This can eliminate the necessity of deforming the base coil end to thereby facilitate the manufacturing procedures. At the same time, possible spring back can be mitigated.
