Abstract

A reduction in size and an improvement in cooling performance of a dynamo-electric machine are achieved. A stator of a dynamo-electric machine according to the present invention includes a plurality of segment coils surrounding a rotation axis, a stator core partially accommodating each of the segment coils, and an insulating coating covering at least certain portions of the segment coils protruding from the accommodating space of the stator core, in which the segment coils are arranged in a direction from the rotation axis to a radially outer side, and the volume of the insulating coating is larger on a radially outer side than on a side close to the rotation axis.

Claims (19)

1. A stator of a dynamo-electric machine, comprising:

a plurality of segment coils surrounding a rotation axis;

a stator core partially accommodating each of the segment coils; and

an insulating coating covering at least certain portions of the segment coils protruding from an accommodating space of the stator core, wherein

the segment coils are arranged in a direction from the rotation axis to a radially outer side, and

wherein volume of the insulating coating is larger on a radially outer side than on a side close to the rotation axis.

2. The stator of the dynamo-electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein the insulating coating is provided only on one of the segment coils, the one segment coil configuring a farthermost layer from the rotation axis.

3. The stator of the dynamo-electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein the stator core includes a fixing part for connection to another member using a connecting member, and

wherein the insulating coating is provided in a region in which an imaginary line segment connecting the rotation axis surrounded by the stator core to the fixing part overlaps with the segment coils.

4. The stator of the dynamo-electric machine according to claim 3 , wherein each of the segment coils has an oblique portion that is bent to have an angle with respect to a protruding direction from the accommodating space of the stator core and leads to a crown of the segment coil, and

wherein the insulating coating is provided on the oblique portion.

5. The stator of the dynamo-electric machine according to claim 4 , further comprising slot liners that are provided in the accommodating space of the stator core, and isolate the segment coils from the stator core, wherein

certain portions of the slot liners protrude from the accommodating space of the stator core, and

wherein the insulating coating is in contact with the certain portions of the slot liners.

6. A dynamo-electric machine including the stator according to claim 1 , wherein the stator is provided such that an imaginary circle connecting between crowns of the segment coils has an angle different from 90° with respect to a vertical direction.

7. A method of manufacturing a stator of a dynamo-electric machine, the method comprising:

a first step of partially accommodating each of a plurality of segment coils in an accommodating space provided in a stator core in a manner of being arranged in a direction from a rotation axis to a radially outer side;

a second step of providing an insulating coating in a portion in which an imaginary line segment connecting a fixing part of the stator core to the rotation axis overlaps with the segment coils; and

a third step of fixing the fixing part of the stator core to a stator support with a fixing member.
