Abstract: A rotary electric machine having a stator whose dismantled structure can be reintegrated at reduced cost. The stator eliminates difficulties in separation and reuse at the time of disposal incident to use of molding such as resin molding. Also, it has no adverse environmental impacts. A plurality of stator cores having a plurality of magnetic poles arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction are laminated in the axial direction with use of a heat-shrinkable tube having an appropriate compression retention force. The outer circumferences of these stator cores are covered collectively with another heat-shrinkable tube. The heat-shrinkable tubes are heated so that the plurality of stator cores are integrated into a single-piece structure by the heat-shrunk tubes.

Abstract: When a conventional technology is employed, it is difficult to manufacture a magnet row because magnets are disposed so that N-poles face each other while S-poles face each other. Further, magnetic reluctance is increased because a generated magnetic flux obliquely crosses an air gap in which the magnets are disposed. Furthermore, the conventional technology is at a disadvantage in that magnetic flux interference occurs between neighboring magnetic poles. The present invention has been made to address the above problems and provide a rotary electrical machine capable of generating high torque at low speed. The rotary electrical machine includes a rotor disc and an armature. The rotor disc is configured so that plural rectangular magnets whose longitudinal direction crosses the direction of rotor disc rotation are disposed on the rotor disc, and that the polarities of neighboring magnets differ from each other.

Abstract: An alternator can reduce the size of welding equipment and shorten the time of welding operation while ensuring high performance and high quality with the generation of electromagnetic noise being suppressed. The alternator includes a rotor having N poles and S poles alternately formed along a circumferential direction thereof, a stator core arranged so as to surround the rotor and having a plurality of axially extending slots formed at a predetermined pitch in the circumferential direction thereof, and a stator having a stator winding fitted into the slots. The stator core is formed by deforming by bending a hexahedral element iron core composed of iron core blocks with their adjacent ends being in abutment with each other and fusion bonded by welding. The weld portions of the blocks have a depth fusion extending at least up to a tensile region where a tensile stress of the stator core is generated.
