Benefits of technology

[0025]The invention obviates the necessity for cutting a core and makes it possible to reduce a manufacturing cost. With respect to the iron loss of the core, eddy current loss and hysteresis loss can be reduced and thus the iron loss is reduced. Though wound cores are generally cylindrical, the invention provides a wound core that can be formed in a different shape. This makes it possible to obtain a desired core applicable to a rotary machine and a static machine.

Problems solved by technology

However, it is difficult to apply such a processing method as stamping or lamination to a thin band.
The reason for this is as follows: when the thickness of a thin band is reduced, the number of times of processing for making a core having the same dimensions is increased and this increases the cost thereof.
Almost all the thin bands are susceptible to external stress; therefore, after machining, such post treatment as annealing is required.
In addition, it is very difficult to easily manufacture them.
For this reason, the amorphous core formed by winding an amorphous ribbon described in Patent Document 1 is easy to be manufactured but it poses a problem of increased eddy current loss.
Especially, when it is applied to a high-speed rotary machine, iron loss is significantly increased.
There is not an easy method for cutting an amorphous core and this increases the manufacturing cost of the core.
After an amorphous core is subjected to molding and slit processing, the interior of the core suffers stress and the hysteresis loss is increased.
Since the amorphous alloy is very hard, cutting a bock formed of amorphous alloy accelerates wear in jigs and lengthens the cutting time; as a result, the cost becomes very high.

first embodiment

[0042]In the description of First embodiment, a cylindrical wound core will be taken as an example of the core.

[0043]FIG. 1 is a perspective view (left of FIG. 1) of the cylindrical wound core in First embodiment and a front view (right of FIG. 1) thereof. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the spiral cylindrical core 100 in First embodiment is not continuous from the start of winding to the end of winding and is cut in multiple places. The cut portions (100a, 100b, 100c) are not located in an identical position in the radial direction but they are randomly arranged.

[0044]To join the areas before and after each cut portion (100a, 100b, 100c), any of the methods illustrated in FIG. 2 to FIG. 4 can be used. In the example of FIG. 2, at the cut portion 100a, the inner radius-side magnetic member (for example, magnetic thin band 101) and the outer radius-side magnetic member (for example, magnetic thin band 102) adjoin to each other. Thus a non-overlap method is used. Randomly arranging the cut ...

second embodiment

[0061]In relation to Second embodiment, description will be given to the manufacture of a trapezoidal wound core with reference to FIG. 8 to FIG. 11. FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the trapezoidal wound core in Second embodiment and a front view thereof. The comparison of the trapezoidal wound core in FIG. 8 with the cylindrical wound core in FIG. 1 reveals the following: they are different only in that the cross-sectional shape is trapezoidal or circuit and they are identical in that cut areas 111a are provided in arbitrary directions.

[0062]FIG. 9 illustrates an example of a jig for forming the trapezoidal wound core in FIG. 8. The forming jig is made up of two dies 20a, 20b. FIG. 9 shows the two dies 20a, 20b in such positions that their opposite surfaces 20a1, 20b1 are visible for helping understanding. The opposite surfaces 20a1, 20b1 are provided with core placement cavities 114a, 114b, positioning pins 112, and positioning holes 113. The two dies 20a, 20b are moved by externa...

third embodiment

[0079]In relation to this embodiment, description will be given to an example of a rotary machine to which a trapezoidal wound core obtained according to Second embodiment is applied with reference to FIGS. 12 to 15. In the description of this embodiment, an axial gap motor will be taken as an example. However, this embodiment is also applicable to other types of motors, for example, radial gap motors, toroidal motors, and the like.

[0080]FIG. 12 illustrates one slot of the stator of a motor. In this example, a coil 116 is placed around a trapezoidal wound core 111 formed of cut thin bands according to Second embodiment and the assembly is taken as one slot of the stator. The trapezoidal wound core 111 and the coil 116 are insulated from each other. In the above description, the cross-sectional shape of the core is trapezoidal but this is not indispensable. The core can be formed in any desired shape, such as a circle, an oblong, a triangle with rounded corners, and the like. It is d...
