Stator, method for manufacturing stator, and motor
A stator includes: a stator core having an annular portion and a plurality of teeth that is radially protruded outward from an outer periphery of the annular portion; a molded coil that has an air-core portion into which the teeth of the stator core are inserted and that is stored in a slot formed between the teeth of the stator core; and a yoke that covers a circumference of the molded coil stored in the slot of the stator core. The molded coil has an arc-shaped cross-section, and the molded coil includes a resin-molded portion and an exposed portion exposed at the molded portion.
1. A stator, comprising:
a stator core having an annular portion and plural teeth that protrude radially outward from an outer periphery of the annular portion, the annular portion and the plural teeth being integrally formed with each other, the annular portion having a cylindrical shape;
a molded coil that has an air-core portion into which the teeth of the stator core are inserted and that is stored in a slot formed between the teeth of the stator core; and
a yoke that covers a circumference of the molded coil stored in the slot of the stator core, wherein
the molded coil has an arc-shaped cross-section,
the molded coil includes a resin-molded portion and an exposed portion exposed at the molded portion,
the resin-molded portion comprises:
an air-core coil having the air-core portion at a center of the air-core coil;
a first resin covering a portion of the air-core coil; and
a second resin covering an entire periphery of the air-core coil including other portions not covered with the first resin,
the air core coil has an arc-shaped cross-section which has an outer arc surface, an inner arc surface and side surfaces connecting the outer arc surface and the inner arc surface,
the outer arc surface includes first to fourth portions surrounding the air-core portion, the first and second portions being longer than the third and fourth portions, the first and second portions extending in a direction of an axis of the cylindrical shape of the annular portion, and
the first resin covers a part of the first portion or the second portion of the outer arc surface and the first resin extends from the air-core portion to one of the side surfaces.
2. The stator according to claim 1 , wherein the exposed portion is provided by a winding start portion and winding end portion of the air-core coil.
3. The stator according to claim 2 , wherein the exposed portion is provided by tip portions of conductive pins soldered to the winding start portion and winding end portion of the air-core coil.
4. The stator according to claim 1 , wherein an electric wire of the air-core coil is a square wire.
5. The stator according to claim 1 , wherein the molded coil is a resin-molded coil that is fixed to an electrically-insulating bobbin.
6. The stator according to claim 1 , further comprising an electrically-insulating elastic body between a circuit board coupled to an end of the molded coil and a bracket to fix the circuit board to the bracket.
7. A motor, comprising:
the stator according to claim 1 ;
a shaft that is pivotally supported in the stator in a rotatable manner; and
a rotor that is stored in the stator to be spaced from the stator and is fixed to a circumference of the shaft, wherein
the rotor has a rotor core and a plurality of permanent magnets that is arranged on a surface or inside of the rotor core.
8. The stator according to claim 1 , wherein the annular portion and the plural teeth are separate members from the yoke.
9. The stator according to claim 1 , wherein an electric wire of the air-core coil has a rectangular cross-section.
10. The stator according to claim 1 , wherein the first resin is a low-thermal conductivity resin and the second resin is a high-thermal conductivity resin.
11. The stator according to claim 1 , wherein the resin-molded portion comprises a plurality of the first resins, the first resins being arranged in parallel to each other in the direction of the axis.
