Stator core, stator, and rotating electrical machine
A stator core for a rotating electrical machine includes an annular yoke portion; a tooth group fitted to an inner side of the yoke portion and formed such that both ends in a circumferential direction on an inner circumferential side of adjacent teeth are integrally connected with each other by a thin connection portion; and a slot for accommodating a stator winding. The yoke portion has grooves at regular intervals in an inner circumferential surface thereof and extending in an axial direction of the stator, the grooves each having a V shape such that a cross section thereof perpendicular to the axial direction opens toward an inner side of the stator core. Each tooth has, at an outer-circumferential-side end thereof, a fitting portion whose cross section perpendicular to the axial direction is formed in a wedge shape so as to allow the tooth to be fitted along the corresponding groove.

a rounded portion is formed at an outermost-circumferential-side end of a side surface in a circumferential direction of each slot, and
a boundary, in each slot, between the annular yoke portion and each tooth is positioned at an innermost-circumferential-side part of the rounded portion.
2. The stator core according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of a bottom of each groove or an edge of each groove is processed to be rounded.
3. A stator comprising:
a stator core; and
a stator winding wound on a tooth group of the stator core, wherein

the annular yoke portion has grooves provided at regular intervals in an inner circumferential surface thereof and extending in an axial direction of the stator core, the grooves each having a V shape such that a cross section thereof perpendicular to the axial direction opens toward an inner side of the stator core,
each tooth of the tooth group has, at an outer-circumferential-side end thereof, a fitting portion whose cross section perpendicular to the axial direction is formed in a wedge shape so as to allow the tooth to be fitted along the corresponding groove,
a rounded portion is formed at an outermost-circumferential-side end of a side surface in a circumferential direction of each slot,
a boundary, in each slot, between the annular yoke portion and each tooth is positioned at an innermost-circumferential-side part of the rounded portion, and the stator winding is inserted across a plurality of the teeth in the stator core.
