[0035] The exemplary embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these specific descriptions are only used to teach those skilled in the art how to implement the present application, and are not intended to exhaust all possible methods of the present application, nor to limit the scope of the present application.

[0036] First embodiment

[0037] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The stator of the flat wire motor according to the first embodiment of the present application (hereinafter referred to as the stator) is introduced. The stator includes an iron core and a winding, and the winding is inserted into a winding slot (hereinafter referred to as the slot) of the iron core.

[0038] The number of poles of the winding in the present application is 12, the number of winding slots of the core is 72, and the winding of each phase includes 2 branches. Each branch includes multiple conductors, also known as hairpins or PINs, and specifically, the conductors of each branch include 2 I-shaped hairpins and multiple U-shaped hairpins. The U-shaped hairpin has two legs, which are connected at one end to form a crown end and separated at the other end to form a welding end. The I-shaped hairpin has only one leg, and one I-shaped hairpin is set at the incoming and outgoing ends of each branch.

[0039] Figure 2The wiring sequence of one phase of the winding of the stator of the first embodiment of the present application is shown. Each column in the figure represents a winding slot, and the winding slot that is not inserted in the phase portion is omitted and not shown; each row in the figure represents a layer in the slot. It should be understood that the layer mentioned here is an abstract concept. The layer only exists when the wire is inserted. When the wire is not inserted in the slot, there is no layer structure. Depending on the actual design structure of the motor, the first layer can be the radial innermost layer or the radial outermost layer. The numbers in the unshaded spaces in the figure represent the wiring sequence of the windings of the first branch, and the numbers in the shaded spaces represent the wiring sequence of the windings of the second branch.

[0040] To show clarity, Figure 3 The wiring sequence of the two branches is shown separately in the figure. The number 1 represents the incoming terminal of the branch winding, which is represented by the letter A or B in the figure, where A represents the incoming terminal of the first branch and B represents the incoming terminal of the second branch. The number 96 represents the outgoing terminal of the branch winding, which is represented by the letter a or b in the figure, where a represents the outgoing terminal of the first branch and b represents the outgoing terminal of the second branch. The solid line in the figure represents the crown end of the conductor, and the dotted line represents the welding end of the conductor. The incoming terminal and the outgoing terminal in this embodiment are both located at the crown end, refer to Figure 1 .

[0041] Figure 4 The routing sequence of the two branches is combined in one diagram to facilitate observation of the relationship between the two branches.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 In this embodiment, the conductor of each branch extends into two consecutive winding slots in each pole and fills up the two consecutive winding slots.

[0043] The number of slots occupied by each branch in each layer is equal to the number of poles, 12. For the slot occupied by the phase conductor, the number of layers occupied by the two branches in the slot is equal, both 4.

[0044] The above-mentioned wire insertion method makes the magnetic circuit formed by the winding balanced.

[0045] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 , in the 1st and 8th layers, the two legs of the U-shaped hairpin are inserted into the same layer; and the pitch (number of slots between the two legs) of the U-shaped hairpin in the 1st layer is 5 or 7, and the pitch of the U-shaped hairpin in the 8th layer is 6. In the layers other than the 1st and 8th layers, the two legs of the U-shaped hairpin are respectively inserted into two adjacent layers, such as the 2nd and 3rd layers, the 4th and 5th layers, and the 6th and 7th layers; and the pitch of these U-shaped hairpins is 6.

[0046] The winding direction of each branch is: while winding around the stator core in the circumferential direction, it crosses layers in the radial direction; in the process of winding across layers, when encountering the radial innermost layer or radial outermost layer, that is, the 1st layer or the 8th layer, the winding direction in the circumferential direction is changed. For example, the direction from small to large slot numbers is defined as clockwise, and the opposite direction is counterclockwise. Figure 2 The first branch starts from the incoming line end and gradually extends from the 1st layer to the 8th layer in a clockwise direction (i.e. the order of numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 in the figure). Then the branch changes the winding direction and gradually extends from the 8th layer back to the 1st layer in a counterclockwise direction.

[0047] Along the extension direction of the branch, adjacent legs of adjacent hairpins are connected by welding, and the pitch between the two welding ends is 6.

[0048] The inlet and outlet ends of each branch are located at two adjacent poles, and the circumferential distance between the inlet and outlet ends is small, so that the busbar at the end can have a simple structure and a small size.

[0049] Second embodiment

[0050] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 A second embodiment of the present application is introduced, which is a variation of the first embodiment. The same or similar features as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same or similar reference numerals, and detailed description of these features is omitted.

[0051] The main difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the slots into which the two branches of each phase extend are three consecutive slots, but the three slots are not fully occupied; only the middle slot is fully occupied, and the middle slot is defined as slot K, while the K-1th slot and the K+1th slot occupy the 1st to 4th layers and the 5th to 8th layers respectively. Or from another perspective, for the 1st to 4th layers, the two branches of each phase occupy two consecutive half slots; for the 5th to 8th layers, the two branches of each phase occupy two consecutive half slots; these two groups of consecutive half slots are staggered by one slot in the circumferential direction.

[0052] This variation brings about a change in the pitch of some conductors, specifically, the pitch of the U-shaped hairpins inserted into the 4th and 5th layers is 7.

[0053] Third embodiment

[0054] Reference Figure 7 The third embodiment of the present application is introduced, which is a variation of the first embodiment and the second embodiment. The main difference between this embodiment and the second embodiment is that the circumferential staggered directions of the two groups of half slots occupied by the two branches of each phase are different.

[0055] This modification makes the pitch of the U-shaped hairpins inserted into the 4th and 5th layers modified to 5.

[0056] Fourth embodiment

[0057] Reference Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The fourth embodiment of the present application is introduced, which is another variation of the first embodiment.

[0058] In this embodiment, the inlet and outlet terminals are both located at the welding terminal, which is equivalent to connecting the inlet and outlet terminals of the same branch of the original crown terminal in the first embodiment together, for example Fig. 9 Connect the unshaded numbers 1 and 96 together at the crown end; at the same time, open one of the original welded pairs, i.e. Fig. 9 The unshaded numbers 96 and 95 in the figure serve as the new incoming and outgoing terminals, respectively.

[0059] It should be understood that the above-mentioned embodiments and some aspects or features thereof may be appropriately combined.

[0060] Of course, the present application is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and those skilled in the art can make various modifications to the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application under the guidance of the present application without departing from the scope of the present application. For example:

[0061] (i) The number of layers formed by the winding in the slot is not limited to 8 layers, but can be expanded to other numbers of layers, and is not limited to an even number of layers, but can also be an odd number of layers.

[0062] (ii) As an extension of the fourth embodiment, the incoming and outgoing ends of the branch circuit may also be located at other layers.
