Benefits of technology

The patent aims to reduce the likelihood of damaging the insulation coating on the outer surfaces of curves in a stator winding that uses flat wire. The method involves forming a curved shape in the flat wire, with the amount of expansion during bending being minimized in the insulation coating. Additionally, using a flat wire with a specific cross section shape can facilitate the deformation process during rolling, allowing for the easy formation of the desired curved shape. The technical effect is a reduction in the likelihood of insulation damage in the stator winding.

Problems solved by technology

As a result, the insulation coating is sometimes problematically damaged (e.g., refer to patent document JP-B-4506895).
However, compared to a round wire having a circular cross section, a flat wire, when bent, causes a significant expansion in the insulation coating in the outer surface of the curve mentioned above, and accordingly has a high probability of suffering from damages in the insulation coating.
In this case, the coating characteristics will be impaired in the process of rolling the round wire into a flat wire.
Therefore, the probability of damaging the insulation coating will become higher.

Embodiment Construction

[0021]With reference to FIGS. 1-5A and 5B, hereinafter is described a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0022]With reference to the drawings, a configuration of a stator winding 1 of the embodiment is described.

[0023]The stator winding 1 is obtained by connecting a number of wire segments 3 (hereinafter also just referred to as segments 3), each having a curve (or a curved section) 2, in an electrically conductive manner. Specifically, the segments 3 before being connected are mounted to slots 5 of a stator core 4 and deformed. Then, predetermined connecting portions 6 of the respective segments 3 are connected to each other in an electrically conductive manner. In order to avoid complication, the connecting portions in the drawings are indicated by 6Aa, 6Ba, 6Ab and 6Bb, which will be described later, instead of being simply indicated by 6. An integral body of the stator winding 1 and the stator core 4 provided in this way forms a stator 7 of a rotary electric machine. ...

Abstract

There is provided a winding to be wound at a stator of a rotary electric machine. The winding is produced from a flat wire having a rectangular cross section along a plane perpendicular to a length-wise direction. The flat wire is coated with an electric insulating layer and is bent to have curves at given portions of the flat wire in the length-wise direction. The curves are located on an axial outer side of the stator. The cross section of the flat wire has four corners, among which mutually-adjacent two corners are lager in curvatures than remaining mutually-adjacent two corners. The mutually-adjacent two corners whose curvatures are smaller are positioned on a circumferential outer side of each of the curves and the mutually-adjacent two corners whose curvatures are larger are positioned on a circumferential inner side of each of the curves.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is based on and claims the benefit of priority from earlier Japanese Patent Application No. 2012-250769 filed Nov. 15, 2012, the description of which is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Technical Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention mainly relates to a stator winding for use in a rotary electric machine, and, in particular, to such a stator winding which is preferably used in a vehicle alternator.[0004]2. Related Art[0005]A stator winding based on conventional art for use in a rotary electric machine is formed, for example, by bending linear conductors that are applied with insulation coating. In bending the linear conductors, the insulation coating is expanded in the outer surface of a curve which is formed by bending each of the conductors. As a result, the insulation coating is sometimes problematically damaged (e.g., refer to patent document JP-B-4506895).[0006]In order ...
