Abstract

An insulator is provided between a stator core and a conductive wire provided on the stator core. The insulator includes a wound portion, around which the conductive wire is wounded, having a substantially rectangular shape; and a flange, formed in the axial end of the wound portion in the stator tooth tip side, for pressing the conductive wire in the axial direction (radial direction relative to the rotation axis of a rotor in a configuration of a rotating electrical machine). The flange includes four corner portions at its four corners, and intermediate portions formed between the four corner portions to have a width (B 2 ) narrower than the width (B 1 ) of the four corner portions. In addition, the flange has a tip with a curved shape.

Claims (22)

1. An insulating member provided between a core body and a coil provided on said core body, comprising:

a wound portion, around which said coil is wound, having a substantially rectangular shape; and

a flange, formed at an axial end of said wound portion, for pressing said coil in an axial direction,

said flange having four corner portions at its four corners and intermediate portions that are formed between said four corner portions to have a width narrower than a width of each of said four corner portions,

said flange being provided only at the axial end of said wound portion.

2. The insulating member according to claim 1 , wherein said flange is formed to have a thickness getting thinner as said flange extends from its root to its tip.

3. The insulating member according to claim 1 , wherein said wound portion is provided with a void.

4. A stator comprising:

a stator tooth;

a stator coil wound around said stator tooth;

the insulating member according to claim 1 provided between said stator tooth and said stator coil; and

a resin portion formed on said stator coil and the insulating member.

5. The stator according to claim 4 , wherein said stator coil and said insulating member are attached to said stator tooth such that said flange is positioned adjacent to a tip of said stator tooth.

6. The insulating member according to claim 1 , wherein said flange has a tip with a curved shape.

7. The insulating member according to claim 6 , wherein said flange is formed to have a thickness getting thinner as said flange extends from its root to its tip.

8. The insulating member according to claim 6 , wherein said wound portion is provided with a void.

9. A stator comprising:

a stator tooth;

a stator coil wound around said stator tooth;

the insulating member according to claim 6 provided between said stator tooth and said stator coil; and

a resin portion formed on said stator coil and the insulating member.

10. The stator according to claim 9 , wherein said stator coil and said insulating member are attached to said stator tooth such that said flange is positioned adjacent to a tip of said stator tooth.
