Abstract

Provided are an armature for rotary electric machine, an insulator therefor, and a coil winding device for winding a conductive wire on a tooth to which the insulator has been attached, wherein in each of all forward-wound coils and reversely-wound coils, a part wound on a first side surface of two side surfaces of each tooth that are opposed to the respective adjacent teeth forms a straight portion in which conductive wires in respective layers of the coil are parallel, a part wound on a second side surface forms a cross portion in which the conductive wire in an upper layer is wound in a crossed manner on the conductive wire in an adjacent lower layer, and an insulator has a guide for guiding the conductive wire along a base of an inner flange of the insulator at a first turn of each coil.

Claims (14)

1. An armature for rotary electric machine, having an even number of teeth provided with insulators for electric insulation, which are arranged in a ring shape, and having a coil obtained by winding a conductive wire forward in a concentrated manner and a coil obtained by winding a conductive wire reversely in a concentrated manner on each tooth, wherein

in each of all the forward-wound coils and the reversely-wound coils, a part wound on a first side surface of two side surfaces of each tooth that are opposed to the respective adjacent teeth forms a straight portion, in which straight portion the conductive wires in respective layers of the coil are parallel, and a part wound on a second side surface forms a cross portion, in which cross portion the conductive wire in an upper layer is wound in a crossed manner on the conductive wire in an adjacent lower layer,

a guide is provided for guiding the conductive wire along a base of a flange of each insulator at a first turn of each coil, wherein the coil obtained by winding the conductive wire forward in a concentrated manner and the coil obtained by winding the conductive wire reversely in a concentrated manner on the teeth are alternately arranged such that two side surfaces opposed to each other of the adjacent teeth are the first side surface and the second side surface,

the guide is a cross guide for guiding the first turn of the conductive wire to be wound on the second side surface, obliquely with respect to an axial direction of the armature, and

the cross guide is provided at an end portion where the first turn of winding is ended, of the insulator on the second side surface.

2. An armature for rotary electric machine, having an even number of teeth provided with insulators for electric insulation, which are arranged in a ring shape, and having a coil obtained by winding a conductive wire forward in a concentrated manner and a coil obtained by winding a conductive wire reversely in a concentrated manner on each tooth, wherein

in each of all the forward-wound coils and the reversely-wound coils, a part wound on a first side surface of two side surfaces of each tooth that are opposed to the respective adjacent teeth forms a straight portion, in which straight portion the conductive wires in respective layers of the coil are parallel, and a part wound on a second side surface forms a cross portion, in which cross portion the conductive wire in an upper layer is wound in a crossed manner on the conductive wire in an adjacent lower layer,

a guide is provided for guiding the conductive wire along a base of a flange of each insulator at a first turn of each coil, wherein the coil obtained by winding the conductive wire forward in a concentrated manner and the coil obtained by winding the conductive wire reversely in a concentrated manner on the teeth are alternately arranged such that two side surfaces opposed to each other of the adjacent teeth are the first side surface and the second side surface,

the guide is a cross guide for guiding the first turn of the conductive wire to be wound on the second side surface, obliquely with respect to an axial direction of the armature, and

the guide is composed of the cross guide, and a dummy guide, connected to the cross guide, for guiding the conductive wire in parallel to a flange of the insulator on at least a part of surfaces other than the second side surface of each tooth.

3. The armature for rotary electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein the guide has a shape that fills at least a part of a gap between the first turn of the wire and the insulator.

4. The armature for rotary electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein the flange of the insulator is an inner flange in the case where the armature is a rotor.

5. The armature for rotary electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein a length of each tooth in an axial direction of the armature is greater than a length of the tooth in a circumferential direction of the armature.
