Rotary electric machine with a stator have a frame and a core with having their material mixed at joint
A stator includes: a substantially cylindrical core allowing arrangement of a winding inside the core; and a stator frame joined to the outer lateral surface of the core through a joint. The joint is formed at least at a part of a boundary where the outer lateral surface of the core and the inner lateral surface of the stator frame are in contact with each other. A material forming the core and a material forming the stator frame are mixed at the joint.
1. A stator comprising:
a substantially cylindrical core allowing arrangement of a winding inside the core; and
a stator frame joined to the outer lateral surface of the core through a joint,
wherein the joint is formed at least at a part of a boundary where the outer lateral surface of the core and the inner lateral surface of the stator frame are in contact with each other,
a material forming the core and a material forming the stator frame are mixed at the joint,
the material forming the stator frame includes a powder material that gets into irregularities formed in a surface of the core at the joint, and
the joint is not exposed anywhere at an outer circumferential surface of the stator frame.
2. The stator according to claim 1 , wherein the joint is formed discontinuously at the boundary where the outer lateral surface of the core and the inner lateral surface of the stator frame are in contact with each other.
3. The stator according to claim 1 , wherein the joint is formed at a projection or at a recess at the outer lateral surface of the core,
or the joint is formed at both the projection and the recess.
4. A rotary electric machine comprising:
the stator according to claim 1 ; and
a rotor supported on a rotary axis and provided on an inner circumferential side relative to the stator.
5. The stator according to claim 1 , wherein the core has depressions at a part of the outer lateral surface except the joint, and
the depressions are filled with powder made of a material not contributing to joining the core and the stator frame.
6. The stator according to claim 5 , wherein the powder filling the depressions has higher heat conductivity than the material forming the stator frame.
