Insulator, armature and rotary electric machine
View Patent ↗The present invention relates to an insulator to be disposed in an armature core having a plurality of radially-formed salient poles. The insulator comprises a winding aligning portion having an approximately V shape (forming an angle of 60 degrees) and getting narrower from an outer side to an inner side in a radial direction of the armature core approximately at the middle between the salient poles to position a winding disposed at a first layer which is a most inner side in the radial direction of the armature core approximately at a middle between the salient poles. By this structure, it is possible to align the windings on the second layer and beyond, thereby preventing a dig-in and the like of the windings and hence preventing faulty insulation between the windings.
1. An insulator to be disposed in an armature core having a plurality of radially-formed salient poles, wherein
the insulator is formed to position a winding of a first layer, which is an innermost layer in a radial direction of the armature core, approximately at a middle between the salient poles among the windings wound on the salient poles,
the insulator includes an approximately V-shaped winding aligning portion, which becomes narrower from an outer side to an inner side in the radial direction of the armature core, approximately at the middle between the salient poles, and
the winding aligning portion is formed such that two slant faces thereof meet at an angle from approximately 45 degrees to approximately 75 degrees.
2. The insulator according to claim 1 , the insulator further characterized in being formed to be able to align the windings of which diameters are approximately 0.9 mm.
3. The insulator according to claim 1 , further characterized in that a center angle of the slot in the insulator is larger than an angle at which two slant faces of the winding aligning portion meet in cases in which a number of the slots of the insulator is smaller than or equal to six and smaller than the angle at which the two slant faces of the winding aligning portion meet in cases in which the number of the slots of the insulator is larger than six.
4. The insulator according to claim 1 , further characterized in that the winding aligning portion is formed so that two slant faces meet approximately at 60 degrees.
