Abstract

There is provided a stator in which a plurality of divided stators are annularly combined with each other, and each divided stator includes: a divided lamination iron core having teeth portion and a yoke portion, and constructed by laminating electromagnetic steel sheets divided by the teeth unit; insulating bodies provided at the divided lamination iron core; and concentrated winding wound around the divided lamination iron core through the insulating body. In this case, the divided lamination iron core is held by the insulating bodies and the concentrated winding.

Claims (31)

1. A stator comprising:

a plurality of annularly combined divided stators, each of the divided stators including:

a divided lamination iron core having a teeth portion and a yoke portion, the divided lamination iron core comprising a plurality of divided iron core sheets that are not fixed to each other;

an insulating body provided at the divided lamination iron core; and

a concentrated winding wound around the divided lamination iron core and the insulating body, wherein

the plurality of divided iron core sheets of the divided lamination iron core is held together by the insulating body and the concentrated winding.

2. The stator of claim 1 , wherein the insulating body is provided at both sides in a laminating direction of the divided lamination iron core and at both sides of the yoke portion in such a manner that the divided lamination iron core is covered by the insulating body.

3. The stator of claim 1 , wherein the divided lamination iron core has a recess portion at an outer periphery of the yoke portion, and an opening portion of the recess portion is smaller than an inside.

4. A motor comprising:

a rotor having a permanent magnet; and

a stator facing the permanent magnet through a gap, the stator comprising a plurality of annularly combined divided stators, each of the divided stators including:

a divided lamination iron core having a teeth portion and a yoke portion, the divided lamination iron core comprising a plurality of divided iron core sheets that are not fixed to each other;

an insulating body provided at the divided lamination iron core; and

a concentrated winding wound around the divided lamination iron core and the insulating body, wherein

the plurality of divided iron core sheets of the divided lamination iron core is held together by the insulating body and the concentrated winding.

5. The motor of claim 4 , wherein the insulating body is provided at both sides in a laminating direction of the divided lamination iron core and at both sides of the yoke portion in such a manner that the divided lamination iron core is covered by the insulating body.

6. The motor of claim 4 , wherein the divided lamination iron core has a recess portion at an outer periphery of the yoke portion, and an opening portion of the recess portion is smaller than an inside.

7. A method of manufacturing a stator, the stator having

a plurality of annularly combined divided stators, each of the divided stators including:

a divided lamination iron core having a teeth portion and a yoke portion, the divided lamination iron core comprising a plurality of divided iron core sheets that are not fixed to each other;

an insulating body provided at the divided lamination iron core; and

a concentrated winding wound around the divided lamination iron core and the insulating body,

the method of manufacturing the stator comprising:

a step of punching an electromagnetic steel sheet continuously with an upper press die and lower press die so as to obtain a divided iron core sheet;

a step of discharging the divided iron core sheet continuously guided by a rail;

a step of taking a predetermined number of the divided iron core sheets out through a rod-shaped jig such that the divided iron core sheets remain unfixed from each other;

a step of attaching the insulating body in such a manner that the predetermined number of divided iron core sheets is covered by the insulating body;

a step of holding the divided iron core sheets with an iron core holding jig and conducting a concentrated winding around the covered divided iron core sheets;

a step of removing the iron core holding jig to obtain the divided stator; and

a step of connecting annularly the divided stators with each other.

8. The method of manufacturing a stator of claim 7 , wherein the divided iron core sheet has a recess portion, the opening portion of which is smaller than an inside, on an outer periphery of the yoke portion, and a cross-section of the rod-shaped jig is larger than the opening portion of the recess portion.
