Abstract

A motor includes a stator, a first frame, a second frame, and a fastening member. The stator includes a stator core including a plurality of teeth extending radially inward and an armature winding wound around the teeth. The first frame is arranged to cover one axial end surface side of the stator. The second frame is arranged to cover another axial end surface side of the stator. The fastening member fastens the first frame and the second frame to each other with the stator core held by the first frame and the second frame in the axial direction. The circumference of the stator core and the circumference of at least one of the first frame and the second frame each include a circumferential positioning recess. The circumferential positioning recess is arranged at a circumferential reference position and is outwardly open in the radial direction.

Claims (23)

1. A motor comprising:

a stator including a stator core and an armature winding, wherein the stator core includes a plurality of teeth inwardly extending in a radial direction, and the armature winding is wound around the teeth;

a first frame arranged to cover one end surface side of the stator in an axial direction;

a second frame arranged to cover another end surface side of the stator in the axial direction; and

a fastening member that fastens the first frame and the second frame to each other with the stator core held by the first frame and the second frame in the axial direction, wherein

each of the stator core, the first frame, and the second frame includes a circumference,

the circumference of the stator core and the circumference of at least one of the first frame and the second frame each include a circumferential positioning recess,

the circumferential positioning recess is arranged at a circumferential reference position and is outwardly opened in the radial direction,

each of the stator core and at least one of the first frame and the second frame includes an erroneous coupling restriction portion that allows coupling in the axial direction only when a relative position of the stator core and at least one of the first frame and the second frame is set to a predetermined position in the circumferential direction, and

the erroneous coupling restriction portion included in the at least one of the first frame and the second frame exposes to an outside the stator core.

2. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein the circumferential positioning recess is inwardly deeper in the radial direction toward a circumferential center of the circumferential positioning recess.

3. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein each of the circumference of the stator core, the circumference of the first frame, and the circumference of the second frame includes the circumferential positioning recess.

4. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein

the circumference of the stator core includes accommodation recesses that are outwardly open in the radial direction and arranged at equal angular intervals in a circumferential direction,

at least one of the accommodation recesses serves as a fastening member accommodation recess that partially accommodates the fastening member, and

at least one of the accommodation recesses serves as the circumferential positioning recess.

5. The motor according to claim 4 , wherein

the accommodation recesses are arranged at 90-degree intervals,

ones of the accommodation recesses separated from each other by 180 degrees each serve as the fastening member accommodation recess, and

one of the accommodation recesses separated from the fastening member accommodation recess by 90 degrees serves as the circumferential positioning recess.

6. The motor according to claim 5 , wherein

the stator core includes a plurality of stator core sheets formed through punching, and

the stator core sheets are rotated by 90 degrees and stacked in the axial direction.
