Abstract

To prevent varnish from adhering to an adhesion prohibited area while satisfying required performance for varnish. A method for manufacturing a stator of a rotating electric machine in which a coil is wound around a stator core, the method includes: a first varnish process of forming a first varnish portion by dropping varnish at a coil disposed on an outermost circumference or an innermost circumference of a coil end portion where the coil protrudes from the stator core and positioned close to the stator core; and a second varnish process of forming a second varnish portion to provide a non-existence region where varnish is not applied between the first varnish portion and the second varnish portion by dropping varnish at a position farther from the stator core than a position in the first varnish process.

Claims (55)

1. A method for manufacturing a stator of a rotating electric machine in which a coil is wound around a stator core, the method comprising:

a first varnish process of forming a first varnish portion by dropping varnish at a coil disposed on an outermost circumference or an innermost circumference of a coil end portion where the coil protrudes from the stator core and positioned close to the stator core; and

a second varnish process of forming a second varnish portion to provide a non-existence region where varnish is not applied between the first varnish portion and the second varnish portion by dropping varnish at a position farther from the stator core than a position in the first varnish process;

wherein an angle formed by a varnish dropping direction in the first varnish process and an axis of the stator is larger than an angle formed by a varnish dropping direction in the second varnish process and the axis of the stator.

2. The method for manufacturing a stator of a rotating electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein the second varnish process is performed after the first varnish process.

3. A stator of a rotating electric machine, comprising:

a stator core formed with a plurality of slots; and

a coil arranged side by side in a radial direction and housed in the slot,

wherein the coil includes

a first varnish portion formed by dropping varnish at a position close to the stator core of a coil disposed on an outermost circumference or an innermost circumference of a coil end portion protruding from the slot,

a second varnish portion formed by dropping varnish at a position far from the stator core, and

a non-existence region where varnish is not applied between the first varnish portion and the second varnish portion;

wherein

the coil includes a vertex part bent in a rotation axis direction, a first bent part located close to the vertex part and immediately above a part where the coil obliquely extends, and

a second bent part located immediately below a part where the coil obliquely extends after protruding from the stator core, and

the first bent part is provided in the non-existence region.

4. The stator of a rotating electric machine according to claim 3 , wherein when viewed from a direction perpendicular to an axial direction, an upper end of the first varnish portion includes the coils adjacent to each other are arranged to overlap each other in parallel.

5. A rotating electric machine comprising the stator according to claim 3 .

6. A method for manufacturing a stator of a rotating electric machine in which a coil is wound around a stator core, the method comprising:

a first varnish process of forming a first varnish portion by dropping varnish at a coil disposed on an outermost circumference or an innermost circumference of a coil end portion where the coil protrudes from the stator core and positioned close to the stator core;

a second varnish process of forming a second varnish portion to provide a non-existence region where varnish is not applied between the first varnish portion and the second varnish portion by dropping varnish at a position farther from the stator core than a position in the first varnish process; and

a third varnish process of forming a third varnish portion by dropping varnish at a position closer to the stator core than the second varnish portion in a coil disposed on an outermost circumference or an innermost circumference of the coil end portion where the first varnish portion is not provided.

7. The method for manufacturing a stator of a rotating electric machine according to claim 6 , wherein the second varnish process is performed after the first varnish process.

8. A method for manufacturing a stator of a rotating electric machine in which a coil is wound around a stator core, the method comprising:

a first varnish process of forming a first varnish portion by dropping varnish at a coil disposed on an outermost circumference or an innermost circumference of a coil end portion where the coil protrudes from the stator core and positioned close to the stator core; and

a second varnish process of forming a second varnish portion to provide a non-existence region where varnish is not applied between the first varnish portion and the second varnish portion by dropping varnish at a position farther from the stator core than a position in the first varnish process;

wherein

the coil includes a vertex part bent in a rotation axis direction, a first bent part located close to the vertex part and immediately above a part where the coil obliquely extends, and

a second bent part located immediately below a part where the coil obliquely extends after protruding from the stator core, and

in the first varnish process, varnish is dropped such that an upper end of the first varnish portion is provided between the first bent part and the second bent part.

9. The method for manufacturing a stator of a rotating electric machine according to claim 8 , wherein the second varnish process is performed after the first varnish process.

10. The method for manufacturing a stator of a rotating electric machine according to claim 8 , wherein in the first varnish process, varnish is dropped such that the upper end of the first varnish portion is located at a position where the coils adjacent to each other are arranged to overlap each other in parallel when viewed from a direction perpendicular to an axial direction.

11. A stator of a rotating electric machine, comprising:

a stator core formed with a plurality of slots; and

a coil arranged side by side in a radial direction and housed in the slot,

wherein the coil includes

a first varnish portion formed by dropping varnish at a position close to the stator core of a coil disposed on an outermost circumference or an innermost circumference of a coil end portion protruding from the slot,

a second varnish portion formed by dropping varnish at a position far from the stator core, and

a non-existence region where varnish is not applied between the first varnish portion and the second varnish portion;

wherein the coil includes a third varnish portion formed by dropping varnish at a position closer to the stator core than the second varnish portion of a coil disposed on an outermost circumference or an innermost circumference of the coil end portion where the first varnish portion is not provided.

12. The stator of a rotating electric machine according to claim 11 , wherein when viewed from a direction perpendicular to an axial direction, an upper end of the first varnish portion includes the coils adjacent to each other are arranged to overlap each other in parallel.

13. A rotating electric machine comprising the stator according to claim 11 .

14. A stator of a rotating electric machine, comprising:

a stator core formed with a plurality of slots; and

a coil arranged side by side in a radial direction and housed in the slot,

wherein the coil includes

a first varnish portion formed by dropping varnish at a position close to the stator core of a coil disposed on an outermost circumference or an innermost circumference of a coil end portion protruding from the slot,

a second varnish portion formed by dropping varnish at a position far from the stator core, and

a non-existence region where varnish is not applied between the first varnish portion and the second varnish portion;

wherein

the coil includes a vertex part bent in a rotation axis direction, a first bent part located close to the vertex part and immediately above a part where the coil obliquely extends,

a second bent part located immediately below a part where the coil obliquely extends after protruding from the stator core, and

an upper end of the first varnish portion is located between the first bent part and the second bent part.
