Abstract

In one aspect of the present invention, a motor includes a rotor that is rotatable about a center axis line and a stator that is disposed on a radial outside of the rotor. The stator includes a winding portion including a plurality of conductor connection bodies in which a plurality of conductors are connected in series and a stator core in which a plurality of slots through which the conductor connection body passes are provided. The winding portion includes a neutral point portion located on one side in the axial direction of the stator core, ends of the three conductor connection bodies being electrically connected to the neutral point portion. The neutral point portion includes two connection portions to which two of different combinations of the ends of the three conductor connection bodies are connected.

Claims (28)

1. A motor comprising:

a rotor rotatable about a center axis line; and

a stator disposed on a radial outside of the rotor,

wherein the stator includes:

a winding portion including a plurality of conductor connection bodies in which a plurality of conductors are connected in series; and

a stator core in which a plurality of slots through which the conductor connection body passes are provided,

the winding portion includes a neutral point portion located on one side in an axial direction of the stator core, ends of the three conductor connection bodies being electrically connected to the neutral point portion, and

the neutral point portion includes two connection portions to which two of different combinations of the ends of the three conductor connection bodies are connected.

2. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein

a plurality of conductor connection bodies are classified into a first phase conductor connection body, a second phase conductor connection body, and a third phase conductor connection body,

the end of the first phase conductor connection body includes a circumferential extension extending in a circumferential direction,

the end of the second phase conductor connection body is connected to the circumferential extension to configure the connection portion, and

the end of the third phase conductor connection body is connected to the circumferential extension portion to configure the connection portion.

3. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein

a plurality of conductor connection bodies are classified into a first phase conductor connection body, a second phase conductor connection body, and a third phase conductor connection body,

the end of the first phase conductor connection body includes a first circumferential extension extending in a circumferential direction,

the end of the second phase conductor connection body includes a second circumferential extension that is connected to the first circumferential extension to configure the connection portion and extends in the circumferential direction, and

the end of the third phase conductor connection body is connected to the second circumferential extension to configure the connection portion.

4. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein

the winding portion includes a plurality of neutral point portions, and

at least two neutral point portions are arranged side by side in the radial direction.

5. The motor according to claim 4 , wherein

the winding portion includes a coil end located on one side in the axial direction of the stator core,

the end of the conductor connection body extends from the end on one side in the radial direction of the coil end to one side in the axial direction and the other side in the radial direction of the coil end, and is connected at the neutral point portion, and

in the two neutral point portions arranged in the radial direction, the end of the conductor connection body connected to a first neutral point portion located on the other side in the radial direction passes through one side or the other side in the axial direction of a second neutral point portion located on one side in the radial direction.

6. The motor according to claim 1 , wherein

a surface of the conductor is coated with an insulating first coating, and

the surface of the conductor is exposed from the first coating at the connection portion and coated with a second coating from above the connection portion.
