Patent number: 7737600Abstract: In a stator core composed of a powder compacted magnetic body, a yoke part comprises a protrusion protruding from an axial end face of a tooth. The tooth has an axial length gradually decreases towards an outside along the radial direction of the stator core, and a circumferential length which gradually increases towards an outside along the radial direction of the stator core. In one of the cross sections of stator core perpendicular to a radial direction, the height difference between axial end faces of the yoke part and the tooth is substantially equal to an axial length of a coil end part. Further, a cross-sectional area of the tooth perpendicular to the radial direction is substantially maintained constant along the radial direction, and the cross-sectional area is secured at a junction between the tooth and the yoke part, while half of the cross-sectional area is secured in a circumferential cross section of the yoke part.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2005Date of Patent: June 15, 2010Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yasuhiro Endo, Ryoji Mizutani, Kazutaka Tatematsu, Kenji Harada, Toshiya Yamaguchi, Eisuke Hoshina

Patent number: 7714474Abstract: In a stator core having “N” slots, a tooth-width centerline of a linear yoke and a first extension line extended horizontally from a center of rotary shaft toward the linear yoke form a first angle. Assume there are first point on the first extension line at a first distance from the center, a second extension line drawn at a second distance horizontally from the center toward the linear yoke and extended vertically toward arc-shaped yokes, and a third extension line drawn from the center toward teeth ends of the linear yokes with angle “K”. The second and third extension line intersect at a second point. A line between the first and second points intersects with the first extension line, thereby forming the first angle.
