Abstract

Claims (27)

1 . A motor, comprising:

a rotor; and

a stator, wherein

the stator includes an odd number of segments coupled via engaging parts,

the segments include a plurality of pieces coupled via a coupling part,

the plurality of pieces are disposed in an arc shape,

the segments are disposed in an annular shape,

each engaging part includes two protruding parts projecting to a circumferential direction side and a recess part provided between the two protruding parts,

of two segments disposed adjacently,

one protruding part of one segment engages with the recess part of the other segment,

the recess part of the one segment engages with one protruding part of the other segment,

each of the two protruding parts of the one segment and the other segment has a top part,

the protruding part of the one segment and the recess part of the other segment each have first planes opposing one another and third planes opposing one another, and

the first plane and the third plane extend in a radial direction and a circumferential direction of the stator, and extend in directions intersecting one another toward the top part,

the top parts of the protruding parts of the one segment and the other segment project toward an inner peripheral side of the stator,

the recess part of the one segment and the protruding part of the other segment each have second planes opposing one another and third planes opposing one another,

the second planes and the third planes extend in the radial direction and the circumferential direction of the stator, and extend in the directions intersecting one another toward the top part,

the first planes and the second planes form an acute angle with respect to a line along a circumferential direction orthogonal to a center line along the radial direction of the stator, and the third planes form a positive angle with respect to a line along the circumferential direction orthogonal to the center line along the radial direction of the stator, and

a contactable area of each of the second planes is larger than a contactable area of each of the first planes.

2 . The motor according to claim 1 , wherein

the first planes at an outer peripheral side and the second planes at an inner peripheral side are disposed in parallel.

3 . The motor according to claim 1 , wherein

the first planes and the second planes are disposed side by side in the radial direction of the stator, the second planes are disposed at an inner peripheral side with respect to the first planes, and an area of each of the second planes is different from an area of each of the first planes.

4 . The motor according to claim 3 , wherein

the engaging parts each have a bulging part projecting to an inner peripheral side, and the second planes are disposed at the bulging part side.

5 . The motor according to claim 3 , wherein

a first clearance formed in the second planes is smaller than a second clearance formed in the first planes.
