Abstract

A stator includes: a plurality of divided cores disposed to have a ring shape; a stator winding toroidally wound on the stator; and a holding member that holds the divided cores in the ring shape. Each of the divided cores includes: a bobbin part for the stator winding; a yoke extending from the bobbin part in the circumferential direction; a connection part extending from the yoke outwardly in a radial direction with a connection face that is connected to the holding member; and a tooth extending from the yoke inwardly. The connection part has a magnetic gap to increase a magnetic resistance in a path of magnetic flux, generated by the stator winding, leaked to the holding member through the connection face. The magnetic gap is a notch or a weld.

Claims (16)

1. A stator having a ring shape for an electrical rotating machine, comprising:

a plurality of divided cores disposed in a circumferential direction of the stator;

a stator winding toroidal wound on the stator;

a holding member that is connected to an outer circumferential faces of the divided cores and holds the divided cores in the ring shape,

wherein each of the divided cores comprises:

a bobbin part on which the stator winding is wound;

a yoke extending from the bobbin part in the circumferential direction;

a connection part extending from the yoke outwardly in a radial direction of the stator with a connection face that is connected to the holding member; and

a tooth extending from the yoke inwardly in the radial direction, wherein the connection part comprises a magnetic gap to increase a magnetic resistance in a path of magnetic flux, generated by the stator winding, leaked to the holding member through the connection face, wherein the magnetic gap comprises a notch or a weld with a tapered sectional shape at an edge between an end face in the circumferential direction of the connection part and the connection face.

2. The stator as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the connection part includes a side face that is an end of the connection part in the circumferential direction and defines a slot for the stator winding together with the bobbin part and the magnetic gap is between the side face and the connection face of the connection part.

3. The stator as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the notch is formed in the connection part so that an end of the connection part includes a taper part when viewed in an axial direction near an end of the connection face.

4. The stator as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the taper part includes a slope either of a line, a convex arc, or a concave arc when viewed in an axial direction.

5. The stator as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the tooth comprises a magnetic gap comprising another weld to increase a magnetic resistance in a path of magnetic flux, generated by the stator winding, to the tooth of an adjacent divided core at a location inside the stator winding in the radial direction on a side face of the tooth that is an end of the tooth in the circumferential direction that defines a slot for the stator winding together with the bobbin part.

6. The stator as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the divided core comprises a magnetic material.

7. The stator as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a length of the notch in a circumferential direction is smaller than a length of the connection surface in the circumferential direction.

8. The stator as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the magnetic gap includes an edge on a side face of the connection part, and a height of the edge is substantially equal to that of a bundle of the stator winding from an upper face of the bobbin part.
