Abstract

The efficiency of inserting a coil conductor into a slot of a stator core is improved in the present invention. Included are a rotor and a stator. The stator includes a stator core formed with a plurality of slots formed at a predetermined depth in a radial direction and arranged while spaced apart from each other in a circumferential direction and stator winding having a coil conductor inserted in each of the slots. A plurality of protrusions are formed in each of the slots of the stator core toward a space into which the coil conductor is inserted.

Claims (29)

1. A rotating electric machine, comprising:

a rotor pivotally supported by a rotating shaft; and

a stator arranged on a circumferential surface of the rotor with a minute gap interposed therebetween, wherein

the stator includes a stator core formed with a plurality of slots formed at a predetermined depth in a radial direction and arranged while spaced apart from each other in a circumferential direction and stator winding having a coil conductor inserted in each of the slots,

a plurality of protrusions are formed in each of the slots of the stator core toward a space into which the coil conductor is inserted,

the plurality of protrusions form a plurality of partition regions into which the coil conductors are inserted in such a manner as to be adjacent to each other in each of the slots, and

the protrusions of the plurality of partition regions are formed while protruding between the coil conductors such that a distance between the coil conductors inserted in each of the partition regions is more than or equal to a predetermined distance.

2. The rotating electric machine according to claim 1 ,

wherein the coil conductor includes a plurality of segment coil conductors.

3. The rotating electric machine according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an insulating member arranged between the coil conductor and the protrusions.

4. The rotating electric machine according to claim 3 ,

wherein each of the slots has a pair of side surfaces extending in a direction perpendicular to a circumferential surface of the stator core,

the protrusions are included in each of the pair of side surfaces, and

the insulating member is a slot insulating sheet arranged to cover the respective side surfaces together with the respective protrusions.

5. The rotating electric machine according to claim 4 ,

wherein the slot insulating sheet has a protruding portion protruding to the outside from one end surface of the stator core in an axial direction, and

the protruding portion has an end portion folded to a side opposite to a side on which the stator core is arranged.

6. A rotating electric machine, comprising:

a rotor pivotally supported by a rotating shaft;

a stator arranged on a circumferential surface of the rotor with a minute gap interposed therebetween, wherein

the stator includes a stator core formed with a plurality of slots formed at a predetermined depth in a radial direction and arranged while spaced apart from each other in a circumferential direction and stator winding having a coil conductor inserted in each of the slots,

a plurality of protrusions are formed in each of the slots of the stator core toward a space into which the coil conductor is inserted; and

an insulating member arranged between the coil conductor and the protrusions, wherein

each of the slots has a pair of side surfaces extending in a direction perpendicular to a circumferential surface of the stator core,

the protrusions are included in each of the pair of side surfaces,

the insulating member is a slot insulating sheet arranged to cover the respective side surfaces together with the respective protrusions,

the slot insulating sheet has a protruding portion protruding to the outside from one end surface of the stator core in an axial direction, and

the protruding portion has an end portion folded to a side opposite to a side on which the stator core is arranged.
