Abstract

A motor according to an embodiment includes a stator. The stator includes a plurality of connection cores. The connection core includes a plurality of pieces connected via connection portions. The plurality of pieces are arranged in a circular arc shape. The plurality of connection cores are arranged in an annular shape.

Claims (29)

1. A motor comprising a stator, wherein

the stator comprises a plurality of connection cores, a plurality of insulators and a plurality of coils,

the connection core comprises a plurality of pieces connected via connection portions,

the plurality of insulators are mounted on the plurality of pieces,

the plurality of coils are wound around the plurality of insulators,

the plurality of pieces are arranged in a circular arc shape, and

the plurality of connection cores are arranged in an annular shape,

the plurality of insulators include two insulators connected in a peripheral direction by a connection member and two insulators divided in a peripheral direction.

2. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein

the stator comprises three connection cores, and

the connection core comprises four pieces.

3. The motor according to claim 1 , comprising

a plurality of terminals provided at the plurality of insulators, and

a connecting plate provided at the plurality of terminals,

the connecting plate is electrically connected with the coils via the terminals.

4. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein

in a peripheral direction, coils wound around two pieces of the plurality of pieces have a same winding direction.

5. The motor according to claim 4 , wherein

the connection core comprises four pieces, and

in the peripheral direction, among the plurality of pieces, a winding direction of coils wound around two pieces located at both ends is one direction, and a winding direction of coils wound around two pieces located between the both ends is an opposite direction to the one direction.

6. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein

the connection core is formed with a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet, and

a magnetization hard axis direction of the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet is a direction from one connection portion toward the other connection portion among the plurality of connection portions of the connection core.

7. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein

among the plurality of connection cores, two connection cores that are in contact with each other respectively comprise contact portions, and

the contact portions of the two connection cores are provided with surfaces intersecting a surface extending in a radial direction and passing through a shaft.

8. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein

a number of the pieces of the plurality of connection cores is an even number, and

a number of the plurality of connection cores is an odd number or a prime number.
