Abstract

An insulator according to an embodiment includes a teeth cover portion and a crossover-wire guide portion. The crossover-wire guide portion includes a plurality of guide walls, a drawing groove, a drawing path, and a crossover-wire support portion. The plurality of the guide walls separate the crossover-wire portions of the coils and are capable of guiding the crossover-wire portions in the core circumferential direction. The drawing groove penetrates through all of the plurality of the guide walls in the core radial direction. The drawing path is disposed at a position away from the drawing groove in the core circumferential direction. The crossover-wire support portion changes a direction of the crossover-wire portion of the coil drawn out from the drawing groove, to be directed to the drawing path, and supports the crossover-wire portion.

Claims (29)

1. An insulator to be attached to each of a plurality of split cores forming a ring-shaped stator core and including teeth extending to an inside in a core radial direction that is a radial direction of the stator core, the insulator comprising:

a teeth cover portion that covers the teeth and has an outer-periphery around which a coil having a crossover-wire portion is wound; and

a crossover-wire guide portion that is formed outside the teeth cover portion in the core radial direction, wherein

the crossover-wire guide portion guides:

the crossover-wire portion of the coil drawn out from the teeth cover portion; and

an introduction crossover-wire portion of an introduction coil that is drawn out from a second split core different from a first split core attached to the teeth cover portion and is introduced into the crossover-wire guide portion,

into a terminal connection portion in a substantially core circumferential direction that is a circumferential direction of the stator core,

the crossover-wire guide portion includes:

a plurality of guide walls that separate the crossover-wire portions of the coils drawn out from the plurality of the split cores and having phases different from each other in the core radial direction for each phase, and are capable of guiding the crossover-wire portions in the core circumferential direction;

a drawing groove that penetrates through all of the plurality of the guide walls in the core radial direction;

a drawing path that is disposed at a position away from the drawing groove in the core circumferential direction, does not penetrate through an inner guide wall of the plurality of the guide walls which is located at an innermost side in the core radial direction, penetrates through a guide wall other than the inner guide wall of the plurality of the guide walls in the core radial direction, and causes the crossover-wire portion of the coil drawn out from the drawing groove to be inserted between two guide walls adjacent to each other of the plurality of the guide walls; and

a crossover-wire support portion that changes a direction of the crossover-wire portion of the coil drawn out from the drawing groove, to be directed to the drawing path, and supports the crossover-wire portion.

2. The insulator according to claim 1 , wherein

the coil is formed of a rectangular wire.

3. The insulator according to claim 1 , wherein

the drawing groove is formed at a substantially center position in the core circumferential direction of each of the plurality of the guide walls, and

of the plurality of the guide walls, the drawing path is formed at a position away from the drawing groove in a direction toward one end side in the core circumferential direction and at a position away from the drawing groove in a direction toward the other end side in the core circumferential direction.

4. The insulator according to claim 1 , wherein

the crossover-wire guide portion includes:

a restriction groove that restricts displacement of the crossover-wire portion of the coil drawn out from the drawing groove; and

a separation wall that separates the introduction crossover-wire portion of the introduction coil drawn out from the second split core and guided by the plurality of the guide walls from the restriction groove, in a core axial direction that is an axial direction of the stator core.

5. The insulator according to claim 4 , wherein

the restriction groove has a bottom surface curved in a circular-arc shape so as to face the drawing path.

6. A stator comprising:

the insulator according to claim 1 ; and

the plurality of the split cores to which the insulator is attached.

7. A rotating electric machine, comprising:

the stator according to claim 6 ; and

a rotor rotatably disposed with respect to the stator.
