Abstract

A bridge part of a first coil segment includes a first bridge section extending in a circumferential direction and including a first bending part reducing an inclination angle, and a second bridge section extending in the circumferential direction toward the first linear part and including a second bending part reducing an inclination angle. A bridge part of a second coil segment includes a third bridge section extending in the circumferential direction toward a second linear part and including a third bending part reducing an inclination angle, and a fourth bridge section extending in the circumferential direction toward the first linear part and including a fourth bending part reducing an inclination angle.

Claims (22)

1. A stator of rotary electric machine; comprising:

a stator core including a yoke, a plurality of teeth, one end surface positioned at one end of an axial direction, and other end surface positioned in the other end of the axial direction, the stator core forming slots each extending in a radial direction between the teeth adjacent to each other; and

a plurality of stator coils each of which is structured by joining a plurality of coil segments to each other, each of the coil segments being formed of a rectangular conductor and including a first linear part and a second linear part positioned separately in the slots, and a bridge part connecting the first linear part and the second linear part on a side of the one end surface of the stator core, wherein

the coil segments include:

a first coil segment including a first linear part positioned outermost in the radial direction among the coil segments arranged in the radial direction in the slot, a second linear part positioned outermost in the radial direction among the coil segments in a different slot, and a bridge part, and

a second coil segment including a first linear part positioned outermost in the radial direction among the coil segments in the slot adjacent to the first linear part of the first coil segment in the opposite side of the second linear part of the first coil segment, a second linear part positioned outermost in the radial direction among the coil segments in the slot adjacent to the second linear part of the first coil segment in the opposite side of the first linear part of the first coil segment, and a bridge part, and

the bridge part of the first coil segment includes

a first bridge section extending in a circumferential direction of the stator core toward the second linear part through a first curving part curving from the first linear part of the first coil segment to the second linear part side, inclining outward in the axial direction at a first inclination angle with respect to a flat surface parallel to the one end surface, the first bridge section including a first bending part in a halfway through the circumferential direction forming a second inclination angle as the angle inclining with respect to the flat surface parallel to the one end surface, which is smaller than the first inclination angle, and

a second bridge section extending in the circumferential direction toward the first linear part on the outside in the radial direction than is the first bridge section through a second curving part curving outward in the radial direction from the second linear part of the first coil segment, inclining outward in the axial direction at a third inclination angle with respect to a flat surface parallel to the one end surface, the second bridge section including a second bending part in a halfway through the circumferential direction forming a fourth inclination angle as the angle inclining with respect to the one end surface, which is smaller than the third inclination angle, and

the bridge part of the second coil segment includes

a third bridge section extending in the circumferential direction toward the second linear part of the second coil segment on the outside in the radial direction than is the second bridge section through a third curving part curving outward in the radial direction greater than is the second curving part from the first linear part of the second coil segment, inclining outward in the axial direction at a fifth inclination angle with respect to a flat surface parallel to the one end surface, the third bridge section including a third bending part in a halfway through the circumferential direction forming a sixth inclination angle as the angle inclining with respect to a flat surface parallel to the one end surface, which is smaller than the fifth inclination angle, and

a fourth bridge section extending in the circumferential direction toward the first linear part of the second coil segment in the outside in the radial direction than is the third bridge section through a fourth curving part curving outward in the radial direction greater than is the third curving part from the second linear part of the second coil segment, inclining outward in the axial direction at a seventh inclination angle with respect to a flat surface parallel to the one end surface, the fourth bridge section including a fourth bending part forming an eighth inclination angle as the angle inclining with respect to a flat surface parallel to the one end surface, which is smaller than the seventh inclination angle.

2. The stator of rotary electric machine of claim 1 , wherein

the bridge part of the first coil segment includes a first connection part positioned between the first bridge section and the second bridge section connecting the first bridge section and the second bridge section,

the bridge part of the second coil segment includes a second connection part positioned between the third bridge section and the fourth bridge section connecting the third bridge section and the fourth bridge section, and

the first connection part and the second connection part are arranged in a common height position in the axial direction with respect to the one end surface while being opposed to each other at an interval.

3. A rotary electric machine comprising:

a stator of claim 1 ; and

a rotor arranged in a field space of the stator.

4. A rotary electric machine comprising:

a stator of claim 2 ; and

a rotor arranged in a field space of the stator.
