Abstract

A stator includes: a stator core that includes a plurality of slots; a stator coil that is formed by connecting a plurality of segment conductors to each other; and an insulating member that has insulating properties, in which the segment conductor includes a slot portion and an inclined portion, the slot portion is disposed inside the slot, the inclined portion is disposed outside the slot to be inclined from the slot portion, the insulating member is mounted on the stator core and includes a first insulating portion and a plurality of second insulating portions, the first insulating portion is disposed next to the slot portion, the second insulating portions extend from the first insulating portion in an axial direction and are provided along a radial direction of the stator core, and the second insulating portions insulate adjacent segment conductors in an coil end from each other.

Claims (45)

1. A stator comprising:

a stator core that includes a plurality of slots;

a stator coil that is formed by connecting a plurality of segment conductors to each other; and

an insulating member that has insulating properties, wherein

the segment conductor includes a slot portion and an inclined portion,

the slot portion is disposed inside the slot,

the inclined portion is disposed outside the slot to be inclined from the slot portion,

the insulating member is mounted on the stator core and includes a first insulating portion and a plurality of second insulating portions,

the first insulating portion is disposed next to the slot portion,

the plurality of second insulating portions extend from the first insulating portion in an axial direction and are provided along a radial direction of the stator core,

the second insulating portions insulate adjacent segment conductors in a coil end from each other,

a cover portion and a flange portion are provided on each of the second insulating portions,

each cover portion respectively covers a surface of the segment conductor on a stator core side, and

each flange portion rises from the cover portion and covers respective parts of side surfaces of the segment conductor.

2. The stator according to claim 1 , wherein

the second insulating portions are respectively disposed between the inclined portion of one segment conductor and the inclined portion of another segment conductor adjacent to the one segment conductor.

3. The stator according to claim 2 , wherein

the plurality of second insulating portions that are provided along the radial direction are alternately inclined to one side and the other side in a circumferential direction.

4. The stator according to claim 1 , wherein

the insulating member is a slot liner that insulates the slot and the segment conductor from each other,

the first insulating portion is disposed inside the slot, and

the second insulating portions are respectively disposed outside the slot.

5. The stator according to claim 1 , wherein

the insulating member is a slot liner that insulates the slot and the segment conductor from each other, and

the second insulating portion of the slot liner disposed in one slot and the second insulating portion of the slot liner of another slot adjacent to the one slot are disposed between the inclined portion of the segment conductor disposed in the one slot and the inclined portion of the segment conductor disposed in the another slot.

6. The stator according to claim 1 , wherein

a multi-layer portion where a plurality of insulating papers overlap each other is provided in an end portion of the second insulating portion.

7. The stator according to claim 1 , wherein

the first insulating portion is an end plate that is disposed in an end portion of the stator core, and

the second insulating portions protrude from the first insulating portion along a central axis direction of the stator.

8. A rotary electric machine comprising:

the stator according to claim 1 , and

a rotor that is disposed to be rotatable with respect to the stator core with a gap therebetween.

9. A stator comprising:

a stator core that includes a plurality of slots;

a stator coil that is formed by connecting a plurality of segment conductors to each other; and

an insulating member that has insulating properties, wherein

the segment conductor includes a slot portion and an inclined portion,

the slot portion is disposed inside the slot,

the inclined portion is disposed outside the slot to be inclined from the slot portion,

the insulating member is mounted on the stator core and includes a first insulating portion and a plurality of second insulating portions,

the first insulating portion is disposed next to the slot portion,

the plurality of second insulating portions extend from the first insulating portion in an axial direction and are provided along a radial direction of the stator core,

the second insulating portions insulate adjacent segment conductors in a coil end from each other, and

each second insulating portion respectively supports the inclined portion of the segment conductor.
