Rotating electrical machine including concentrated single-layer winding coil
View Patent ↗In a rotating electrical machine, the concentrated winding coil includes a single-layer coil, corresponding to one layer, wound in a first turn advancing mode with the wire forming sequential coil turns starting from one end of the insulating bobbin toward another end of the insulating bobbin and another single-layer coil, corresponding to one layer, wound in a second turn advancing mode with the wire forming turns starting from the other end of the insulating bobbin toward the one end of the insulating bobbin, with the single-layer coil and the other single-layer coil layered alternately to each other. The insulating bobbin includes a winding portion where the concentrated winding coil is formed, collars each formed at one of two ends of the winding portion and at least one projecting portion configured to disallow misalignment at a turn changeover start area in the first and second turn advancing modes.
1. A rotating electrical machine, comprising:
a stator that includes a plurality of core segments disposed in a circular formation, an insulating bobbin mounted at each of the core segments and a concentrated winding coil formed by winding wire with a rectangular cross section at the insulating bobbin; and
a rotor, rotatably disposed so as to rotate freely relative to the stator, wherein:
each core segment includes a yoke and a tooth, formed so as to project out from the yoke, at which the insulating bobbin is mounted;
the concentrated winding coil includes a single-layer coil, corresponding to one layer, wound in a first turn advancing mode with the wire forming sequential coil turns starting from one end of the insulating bobbin toward another end of the insulating bobbin and another single-layer coil, corresponding to one layer, wound in a second turn advancing mode with the wire forming turns starting from the other end of the insulating bobbin toward the one end of the insulating bobbin, with the single-layer coil and the other single-layer coil layered alternately to each other;
the insulating bobbin includes a winding portion where the concentrated winding coil is formed, collars each formed at one of two ends of the winding portion and at least one projecting portion configured to disallow misalignment at a turn changeover start area in the first turn advancing mode and the second turn advancing mode;
the projecting portion is formed so that a front end of the projecting portion takes a position between an outer side surface position of the single-layer coil constituting an outermost layer in the concentrated winding coil made up with a plurality of layers and an inner side surface position of the single-layer coil constituting the outermost layer; and
the projecting portion is formed at a plurality of locations so that a plurality of projecting portions are present side-by-side between the collars, and a stage with a height thereof smaller than a thickness of the wire measured along a layering direction is formed between each collar and the projecting portion next to the collar and between the projecting portions present side-by-side.
