Abstract

Stable electrical connections between coils and a commutator are realized without causing slackening of the coils wound on individual magnetic teeth. An armature of a rotary motor includes an armature core structured splittably into magnetic tooth members which are individually wound by concentrated-winding type coils, and a commutator having the same number of segments as the number of the magnetic tooth members, the individual segments having connecting terminals, wherein an end portion of the coil concentratedly wound on one of the magnetic tooth members is connected generally in a straight line to the connecting terminal of the segment which is located at a position offset in a circumferential direction by a specific angle from the aforementioned one magnetic tooth member, and a conductor line connected to the connecting terminal of the segment is concentratedly wound on another magnetic tooth member adjacent to the aforementioned one magnetic tooth member.

Claims (9)

1. An armature of a rotary motor comprising:

an armature core structured splittably into magnetic tooth members which are individually wound by concentrated-winding type coils; and

a commutator having the same number of segments as the number of said magnetic tooth members and connecting terminals by which the coils wound on said magnetic tooth members are connected to said individual segments;

wherein an end portion of the coil concentratedly wound on one of said magnetic tooth members is connected generally in a straight line to the connecting terminal of said segment which is located at a position offset in a circumferential direction by a specific angle from said one magnetic tooth member, and a conductor line connected to the connecting terminal of said segment is concentratedly wound on another one of said magnetic tooth members adjacent to said one magnetic tooth member; and

wherein an insulator is fitted on each of said magnetic tooth members, the insulator having a pair of projecting parts which form a guiding groove therebetween at a commutator side end portion of the insulator closer to a central axis of said armature core, the guiding groove formed in said insulator having a bottom surface which slopes radially inward in a direction toward a central axis of said commutator for guiding the conductor line between the projecting parts in the radial direction of the slope.

2. An armature of a rotary motor as recited in claim 1 , wherein the concentrated-winding type coils wound on said magnetic tooth members are connected to configure a delta connection.

3. An armature of a rotary motor as recited in claim 1 , wherein each of said magnetic tooth members is configured by laminating first sheet elements each of which has a magnetic tooth formed at one end and a basal part having a specific shape formed at the other end and second sheet elements each of which has a magnetic tooth formed at one end and an overlapping part formed at the other end with a through hole formed therein, the overlapping part forming a back yoke portion together with said basal part.

4. An armature of a rotary motor as recited in claim 1 , wherein a curved inner surface of said insulator fitted on each of said magnetic tooth members fits on an outer periphery of a boss portion of said commutator.

5. A rotary motor provided with a stator on an outer periphery of an armature core as recited in claim 1 , with permanent magnets disposed at specific positions along a circumferential direction.
