Abstract

A motor including a rotor, and a stator having a plurality of coils wound around slots, wherein at least any one of the coils includes a single aluminum wire, a single copper wire joined to the aluminum wire, a stranded wire (lead wire) joined to the copper wire, a cold-pressure-welded joint portion (joint portion) joined between the aluminum wire and the copper wire by cold pressure welding, and a non-pressure welded joint portion (joint portion) provided between the copper wire and the stranded wire (lead wire). A burr covered by an insulation member (insulation tube) is provided in the cold-pressure-welded joint portion (joint portion). A thickness of the insulation member (insulation tube) is larger than a height of the burr.

Claims (38)

1. A motor comprising:

a rotor; and

a stator having a plurality of coils wound around slots in the stator, wherein at least any one of the coils includes:

a single aluminum wire;

a single copper wire joined to the aluminum wire;

a stranded wire joined to the copper wire;

a cold-pressure-welded joint portion joining between the aluminum wire and the copper wire by cold pressure welding; and

a non-pressure welded joint portion provided between the copper wire and the stranded wire, and

a burr covered by an insulation member is provided in the cold-pressure-welded joint portion, wherein a thickness of the insulation member is larger than a height of the burr.

2. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein

the copper wire includes a chuck portion that abuts on the cold-pressure-welded joint portion and that has low mechanical strength, and

a length from an end face of a stator core included in the stator to the chuck portion inside the copper wire is shorter than a length of the insulation member, the insulation member being cylindrical.

3. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein the insulation member is transparent.

4. The motor according to claim 3 , wherein the coil includes a plurality of the cold-pressure-welded joint portions and at least any one position of the insulation member covering the cold-pressure-welded joint portions is marked.

5. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein a binding yarn fixing a drawn wire drawn out from the coil fixes the drawn wire such that the cold-pressure-welded joint portion does not receive stress.

6. The motor according to claim 5 , wherein

the aluminum wire and the copper wire are disposed within a coil end of the stator, and

the stranded wire is fixed by the binding yarn.

7. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein in-phase coils are connected in series in the aluminum wire.

8. A single-phase induction motor in which the motor according to claim 1 includes a primary coil and a secondary coil, wherein the secondary coil includes the aluminum wire.

9. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein the coil and the cold-pressure-welded joint portion are coated with varnish.

10. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein the insulation member is formed of a resin material.

11. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein the cold-pressure-welded joint portion and the stator are covered by mold resin.

12. A blower comprising the motor according to claim 1 .

13. A compressor comprising the motor according to claim 1 .

14. A motor comprising:

a rotor; and

a stator having a plurality of coils wound around slots in the stator, wherein

at least any one of the coils includes:

a single aluminum wire;

a single copper wire joined to the aluminum wire via a joint portion; and

a stranded wire joined to the copper wire, wherein

each of the aluminum wire and the copper wire includes a low-strength portion that abuts on the joint portion and that has mechanical strength lower than that of the other portions of the copper wire or the aluminum wire,

a burr covered by an insulation member is provided in the joint portion, and

a thickness of the insulation member is larger than a height of the burr.

15. The motor according to claim 14 , wherein the low-strength portion is covered by the insulation member.

16. A blower comprising the motor according to claim 14 .

17. A compressor comprising the motor according to claim 14 .
