Abstract

According to one embodiment, a stator includes a stator core and a stator coil. The stator core includes an annular yoke, and a plurality of teeth each extending from an inner periphery of the yoke in a radial direction and arranged in a circumferential direction of the yoke at intervals, in which a gap between a pair of teeth adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction forms a slot extending in the radial direction. With respect to the pair of teeth and the slot, only one of the teeth includes a convex holder-shaped part which projects in the slot toward the other tooth and extends in an axial direction. The stator coil includes a plurality of linear conductors aligned in the radial direction in the slot and held in the slot by the holder-shaped part.

Claims (13)

1. A stator comprising:

a stator core including an annular yoke, and a plurality of teeth each extending from an inner periphery of the yoke in a radial direction and arranged in a circumferential direction of the yoke at intervals, in which a gap between a pair of teeth adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction forms a slot extending in the radial direction, and with respect to the pair of teeth and the slot, only one tooth of the pair of teeth including a convex holder-shaped part which is provided at a position apart from a distal end surface of the teeth outward in the radial direction, projects in the slot toward the other tooth, and extends in an axial direction of the yoke; and

a stator coil wound around the stator core, the stator coil including a plurality of linear conductors aligned in the radial direction in the slot and held in the slot by the convex holder-shaped part.

2. The stator of claim 1 , wherein the convex holder-shaped part is provided at the same position with respect to each of the teeth.

3. The stator of claim 2 , further comprising a sheet-shaped insulator wound around the linear conductors in the slot, wherein the insulator includes a first end disposed on a side surface facing the convex holder-shaped part of the linear conductor positioned in an innermost peripheral side in the slot, and a second end extending in the slot passing between the first end and the convex holder-shaped part.

4. A rotary electric machine, comprising:

a rotor rotatable about a central axis line; and

a stator of claim 2 arranged around the rotor, wherein

a rotation direction of the rotor is limited to a direction from a tooth with the convex holder-shaped part, among the pair of teeth, to the other tooth.

5. The stator of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of linear conductors are held in the slot between the convex holder-shaped part and a bottom surface of the slot.

6. The stator of claim 1 , wherein, with respect to the linear conductor adjacent to the convex_holder-shaped part, the linear conductor includes an extension part extending outward from the slot and bent in the circumferential direction of the stator core, and

the holder-shaped part is provided at the tooth positioned in the bending direction of the extension part among the pair of teeth.

7. The stator of claim 1 , further comprising a sheet-shaped insulator wound around the linear conductors in the slot, wherein the insulator includes a first end disposed on a side surface facing the convex holder-shaped part of the linear conductor positioned in an innermost peripheral side in the slot, and a second end extending in the slot passing between the first end and the convex holder-shaped part.
