Rotating electrical machine
View Patent ↗A rotating electrical machine includes: a rotor comprising a rotor core and a field winding wound round the rotor core; and a stator comprising a stator core and a stator winding wound round the stator core. The stator is arranged in opposition to the rotor with a predetermined spacing therebetween. the stator core is formed by punching a split piece, which comprises teeth for insertion of the stator winding thereinto and a core back on an outer periphery thereof, from a magnetic steel sheet, and laminating a plurality of those circular configurations in an axial direction, in which a plurality of the split pieces are arranged in a circle in a circumferential direction. The stator core has magnetic steel sheets, which are different in magnetic permeability in a diametrical direction, laminated at an axial end region of and in an axial central region of the stator core.
1. A rotating electrical machine comprising:
a rotor comprising a rotor core and a field winding wound round the rotor core; and
a stator comprising a stator core and a stator winding wound round the stator core, the stator being arranged in opposition to the rotor with a predetermined spacing therebetween,
wherein the stator core is formed by punching a plurality of split pieces, each of which comprises teeth for insertion of the stator winding thereinto and a core back on an outer periphery thereof, from a magnetic steel strip so that parts of the split pieces corresponding to a circumferential direction of the stator core substantially correspond to a rolling direction of the magnetic steel strip when punched, arranging the split pieces in circular configurations of magnetic steel sheets in the circumferential direction of the stator core, and laminating a plurality of the circular magnetic steel sheets in an axial direction of the stator core,
wherein the stator core has a plurality of grain oriented magnetic steel sheets laminated at an axial end region thereof and has a plurality of non-oriented magnetic steel sheets laminated in an axial central region thereof,
wherein individual ones of the magnetic steel sheets at the axial central region of the stator core are each larger in thickness than individual ones of the magnetic steel sheets at the axial end region thereof, and
wherein a magnetic permeability in the teeth of the non-oriented magnetic steel sheets in a diametrical direction is superior to a magnetic permeability in the teeth of the grain oriented magnetic steel sheets in the diametrical direction.
2. The rotating electrical machine according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic steel sheets at the axial end region and the magnetic steel sheets at the axial central region of the stator core are different from each other in magnetic permeability in a diametrical direction at a magnetic flux density of 1.5 T.
3. The rotating electrical machine according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic steel sheets at the axial end region and the magnetic steel sheets at the axial central region of the stator core are different from each other in magnetic permeability in a diametrical direction at a magnetic field of 5000 A/m.
