    Abstract: A laminated core includes a laminated body, clamping plates and holding members. The laminated body includes a plurality of amorphous alloy plates, which are stacked one after another in a stacking direction such that each adjacent two of the plurality of amorphous alloy plates directly contact with each other. The clamping plates contact opposed end surfaces, respectively, of the laminated body in the stacking direction. A thickness of each of the first and second clamping plates in the stacking direction is larger than that of each of the plurality of amorphous alloy plates. Each holding member contacts with the clamping plates and maintains a predetermined space between the clamping plates while the laminated body is clamped between the clamping plates.

    Abstract: A core block has an arm portion, and a yoke portion extending circumferentially at an end of the arm portion. At least the yoke portion is configured such that a plurality of core segments are stacked in multiple levels in an axial or radial direction. Each of the core blocks has engaging portions formed at respective opposite ends of the yoke portion and adapted to connect adjacent core blocks. In a first-level core segment, each of the engaging portions has a protrusion extending circumferentially from a corresponding one of the opposite ends of the yoke portion, and a recess juxtaposed radially to the protrusion and adapted to receive the protrusion of an adjacent core block. In a second-level core segment, each of the engaging portions has the protrusion and the recess provided in positionally reversed relation with those of the first-level core segment with respect to the radial direction.

  • Patent number: 7791244
    Abstract: A multiphase claw-pole type electric rotary machine has two or more phases-stator units. The stator units are arranged phase by phase in an axial direction of the electric rotary machine. Each phase stator unit comprises a pair of complementary-opposed claw pole core blocks and a ring-shaped stator coil sandwiched therebetween. The stator units have structures rotatably adjustable independent of each other in their phase positional relations while maintaining concentricity of them after assembly of the rotary machine before being secured.
