Abstract

A stator includes a stator-core having slots and teeth, and a back-yoke having convex and concave portions. The convex portions are partially inserted into the slots, and the concave portions receive the teeth. The teeth include tip portions whose circumferential widths become larger along a radial direction from the inside to the outside of the stator. The back-yoke includes convex portions whose circumferential widths become larger along the radial direction from the outside to the inside of the stator. The tip portions and the convex portions have substantially the same shape. The length of a joint portion between the tip portion and the convex portion, the circumferential width of the tooth corresponding to a tip surface of the convex portion, the width of a root portion of the tooth, and the circumferential width of the convex portion corresponding to a bottom face of the concave portion are substantially the same.

Claims (12)

1. A stator for a rotating electric machine, comprising:

a stator core including a plurality of slots, through which coils are wound, and a plurality of teeth, whose root portions are connected with a bridge, the slots and the teeth being alternately arranged; and

a back yoke which is arranged at the outer-circumference side of the stator core, the back yoke including convex portions and concave portions at an inner-circumference side thereof, the convex portions being partially inserted into the slots, and the concave portions receiving the teeth, wherein

the teeth include tip portions whose widths in a circumferential direction of the stator core gradually become larger along a radial outward direction from the inside of the stator toward the outside of the stator, the convex portions of the back yoke have widths in said circumferential direction that gradually become larger along a radial inward direction from the outside of the stator toward the inside of the stator, and the tip portions of the teeth and the convex portions of the back yoke have substantially the same shape so as to engage with each other,

the length of a joint portion at which the tip portion of the tooth and the convex portion are joined to each other, the circumferential width of the tooth corresponding to a tip surface of the convex portion, the circumferential width of the root portion of the tooth, and the circumferential width of the convex portion corresponding to a bottom face of the concave portion are substantially the same, and

at least one of a first gap and a second gap is provided, the first gap being defined by a radial distance between a tip surface of the tooth and the bottom face of the concave portion, and the second gap being defined by a radial distance between the tip surface of the convex portion and a portion where the circumferential width of the tooth is maximized, and

the coil is wound through the slots with aligned-distributed winding and, as disposed in the slots, has a non-circular shape that is flattened in the radial direction of the stator core and widened in the circumferential direction of the stator core.

2. The stator according to claim 1 , wherein

the circumferential width of the wound coil is larger than one half of the maximum width of the slot.

3. The stator according to claim 2 , wherein

the slots are formed to be a tapered shape in which the widths thereof gradually become larger along the radial direction from the inside of the stator to the outside of the stator.

4. A rotating electric machine comprising the stator according to claim 3 .
