Abstract

A resolver has a lead wire that can be slack even in a structure in which it is impossible to maintain the distance between an end of wound wire and a terminal pin without using a special jig. A lead wire of a stator coil 500 is entwined on a plurality of terminal pins 603 in a slack condition, and the entwined parts are fixed by soldering or welding. Terminal base 600 is then moved to a stator core 200 side, and the lead wire is made slack by contacting the lower surface of a terminal base body 601 to the upper surface of the stator core 200 . Next, end part of the pins 306 of a primary insulator 300 are melted so as to fix the terminal base 600.

Claims (44)

1. A resolver comprising:

a rotor;

a stator core having multiple salient poles extending in a radial direction;

an insulator covering the salient poles of the stator core for insulating;

a wound wire wound around the salient poles via the insulator;

multiple terminals to which a lead wire is connected from the end of the wound wire;

a terminal holding part holding the terminals; and

a fixing element to fix the terminal holding part,

wherein the terminal holding part is movable from a primary position toward a second position with respect to the insulator,

the terminal holding part at the primary position is apart from the stator core,

the terminal holding part at the second position is fixed to the stator core or the insulator by the fixing element,

the lead wire connected to the terminal is under tension at the primary position, and

the lead wire connected to the terminal is slack at the second position.

2. The resolver according to claim 1 ,

wherein the terminal holding part is arranged to be movable in a radial direction or in an axial direction with respect to the insulator.

3. The resolver according to claim 2 ,

wherein the stator core has a hole that opens at a surface facing the thickness direction, and the terminal holding part engages in the hole in a condition freely moving forward and back.

4. The resolver according to claim 2 ,

wherein the fixing means has a pin that is arranged on the insulator, and a hole that is formed in the terminal holding part and to which the pin engages, and

the pin is inserted in the hole when the terminal holding part is arranged at the secondary position, and the end part of the pin is fixed to the hole so that the terminal holding part is fixed at the secondary position.

5. The resolver according to claim 3 ,

wherein the fixing means has a pin that is arranged on the insulator, and a hole that is formed in the terminal holding part and to which the pin engages, and

the pin is inserted in the hole when the terminal holding part is arranged at the secondary position, and the end part of the pin is fixed to the hole so that the terminal holding part is fixed at the secondary position.

6. The resolver according to claim 2 ,

wherein the fixing means has a pin that is arranged on the terminal holding part, and a hole that is formed in the stator core and to which the pin engages, and

the pin is press-fitted in the hole when the terminal holding part is arranged at the secondary position, so that the terminal holding part is fixed at the secondary position.

7. The resolver according to claim 3 ,

wherein the fixing means has a pin that is arranged on the terminal holding part, and a hole that is formed in the stator core and to which the pin engages, and

the pin is press-fitted in the hole when the terminal holding part is arranged at the secondary position, so that the terminal holding part is fixed at the secondary position.

8. The resolver according to claim 1 ,

wherein a guide projecting to outer direction of the radial direction of the stator core is arranged on the insulator,

a rail guiding the guide is arranged on the terminal holding part, and

the guide and the rail are mutually fixed when the terminal holding part is arranged at the secondary position, so that the terminal holding part is fixed at the secondary position.

9. A method for producing the resolver, the method comprising the steps of:

(1) arranging an insulator on a stator core having multiple salient poles extending in a radial direction, which covers and insulates the salient poles of the stator core,

(2) winding a wound wire around the salient poles via the insulator,

(3) attaching a terminal holding part having multiple terminals onto at least one of the insulator and the stator core,

(4) attaching a lead wire from an end of the wound wire to the terminal in a condition so that the lead wire is under tension,

(5) making the lead wire under tension slack toward the stator core with respect to the terminal holding part by moving the terminal holding part, and

(6) fixing the terminal holding part to at least one of the insulator and the stator core while maintaining the slack condition of the lead wire.

10. The method for producing the resolver according to claim 9 ,

wherein the stator core is attached to a wire winding device to perform the step (2) after the steps (1) and (3) are completed,

the step (4) is performed and the lead wire is fixed to the terminal by the wire winding device while maintaining the condition in which the terminal holding part is held by the wire winding device, and

the steps (5) and (6) are performed by the wire winding device.
