[0004] The present application provides a flat wire motor and its stator that can simplify the wire embedding process and reduce the height of the stator winding end.

[0005] According to a first aspect, an embodiment of the present application provides a stator of a flat wire motor including a stator core and a stator winding installed on the stator core. A plurality of winding grooves are formed on the inner wall of the stator core, and the plurality of winding grooves are installed along the circumferential direction of the inner wall of the stator core. The stator winding includes a plurality of coil units, each coil unit includes a first coil and a second coil, the first coil includes a first insertion portion, a second insertion portion, and a first connection portion connecting the first insertion portion and the second insertion portion, the second coil includes a third insertion portion, a fourth insertion portion, and a second connection portion connecting the third insertion portion and the fourth insertion portion, the first insertion portion, the third insertion portion, the fourth insertion portion, and the second insertion portion are arranged along the circumferential direction and inserted into different winding grooves respectively, the first insertion portion is connected to the fourth insertion portion, and the second connection portion is located on a side of the first connection portion facing the stator core.

[0006] In the above technical solution, the first coil is a long-distance coil, the second coil is a short-distance coil, and the combination of the long-distance coil and the short-distance coil can form a concentric nested arrangement at the wire insertion end of the stator winding. The second connection portion of the second coil can be drilled between the first connection portion and the stator core, thereby reducing the space occupied additionally in the axial direction of the stator core and lowering the height of the coil unit in the axial direction. The stator winding uses a plurality of coil units of the same type, reduces the linearity of the coil, simplifies the wire embedding process, and can lower the height of the end of the stator winding.

[0007] In some embodiments, the first coil further includes a first extension portion and a second extension portion. The first extension portion extends from one end away from the first connection portion of the first insertion portion, and the second extension portion extends from one end away from the first connection portion of the second insertion portion. The second coil further includes a third extension portion and a fourth extension portion. The third extension portion extends from one end away from the second connection portion of the third insertion portion, and the fourth extension portion extends from one end away from the second connection portion of the fourth insertion portion. The first extension portion is bent toward the fourth insertion portion with respect to the first insertion portion, and the fourth extension portion is bent toward the first insertion portion with respect to the fourth insertion portion and connected to the first extension portion.

[0008] In the above technical solution, the first extension portion and the fourth extension portion are bent relatively, which can reduce the requirements for the sizes of the first extension portion and the fourth extension portion and can reduce the height at the welding end of the stator winding.

[0009] In some embodiments, the number of winding grooves is 12·M, where M is a positive integer. The span between the first insertion portion and the second insertion portion of the first coil is 7 winding grooves, and the span between the third insertion portion and the fourth insertion portion of the second coil is 5 winding grooves.

[0010] The above technical solution can expand the usage range of the winding design and can be adapted to different voltage and power ranges. The span of the first coil and the span of the second coil are adapted to the number of winding grooves, so that a plurality of coil units can be fitted into the winding grooves.

[0011] In some embodiments, the first insertion portion, the third insertion portion, the fourth insertion portion, and the second insertion portion are respectively flat wire conductors in corresponding winding grooves. The flat wire conductors in each winding groove are arranged in n layers, where n is a positive even number. Along the direction from the groove bottom of the winding groove toward the groove opening of the winding groove, the n layers of flat wire conductors are denoted as layer L1,......, layer L i layer,...... and L n layer, where 1≦i≦n.

[0012] In some embodiments, the stator winding includes a plurality of phase windings, each phase winding includes at least one branch circuit, and the branch circuit includes a plurality of coil units. In the branch circuit, the flat wire conductors connecting at least two coil units to each other are in the same layer.

[0013] In the above technical solution, at least two coil units can use full-distance welding, without the need for welding across layers, thereby simplifying the welding process. The flat wire conductors connected in the same layer can also balance the groove potential of the branch circuit and reduce the circulating current loss between branch circuits.

[0014] In some embodiments, in the branch circuit, the L1 layers of at least two coil units are connected. The L1 layers of the two coil units are close to the outer ends along the radial direction of the stator core, making it easy to realize welding.

[0015] In some embodiments, in the branch circuit, the L n layers of at least two coil units are connected. The L n layers of the two coil units are close to the inner ends along the radial direction of the stator core, making it easy to realize welding.

[0016] In some embodiments, the stator winding includes a plurality of phase windings, each phase winding includes at least one branch circuit, and the branch circuit includes a plurality of coil units. A first lead wire and a second lead wire are provided at both ends of the branch circuit, the first lead wire and the second lead wire are connected to different flat wire conductors, and the flat wire conductors connected to the first lead wire and the flat wire conductors connected to the second lead wire are provided in different winding grooves.

[0017] In the above technical solution, the flat wire conductors connected to the first lead wire and the flat wire conductors connected to the second lead wire are provided in different winding grooves, thereby increasing the distance between the first lead wire and the second lead wire and reducing the risk of the first lead wire and the second lead wire contacting and short-circuiting.

[0018] In some embodiments, the flat wire conductor connected to the first lead wire and the flat wire conductor connected to the second lead wire are in the same layer.

[0019] The above technical solution is advantageous for the arrangement of the bus bar and facilitates the connection between the first lead wire, the second lead wire and the external circuit.

[0020] In some embodiments, each phase winding includes a plurality of branch circuits, and two of the plurality of branch circuits are defined as a first branch circuit and a second branch circuit. The span between the flat wire conductor connected to the first lead wire of the first branch circuit and the flat wire conductor connected to the first lead wire of the second branch circuit is equal to or less than the pole pitch.

[0021] The above technical solution can reduce the distance between the first lead wires of the two branch circuits, facilitating the connection of the first lead wires of the two branch circuits, and is advantageous for the arrangement of the bus bar and the implementation of the winding processing process.

[0022] In some embodiments, the flat wire conductor connected to the first lead wire of the first branch circuit and the flat wire conductor connected to the first lead wire of the second branch circuit are provided in the same winding groove.

[0023] The above technical solution further reduces the distance between the first lead wires of the two branch circuits by drawing out the first lead wires of the two branch circuits from within the same winding groove, facilitating the connection of the first lead wires of the two branch circuits, and is advantageous for the arrangement of the bus bar and the implementation of the winding processing process.

[0024] In some embodiments, all the first lead wires in the plurality of phase windings are connected to flat wire conductors in different winding grooves.

[0026] In some embodiments, the stator winding includes a plurality of phase windings, each phase winding includes at least one branch circuit, and the branch circuit includes a plurality of coil units. The branch circuit includes k layers of flat wire conductors, where k is a positive integer greater than 1. Along the direction in which current flows, the k layers of flat wire conductors are denoted as layer A1, layer A2,..., layer A k-1 layer and A k layer. Any two adjacent flat wire conductors located in the same winding groove of the branch circuit are respectively denoted as A j layer and A l layer, where 1 ≤ j < l ≤ k. And l - j ≤ k / 2.

[0027] The greater the difference in the numbers of the flat wire conductors, the greater the differential pressure between the two flat wire conductors. If the difference in the numbers of two adjacent flat wire conductors located in the same winding groove is too large, the voltage stress between the flat wire conductors in the winding groove will become excessive. The above technical solution sets l - j ≤ k / 2, thereby reducing the voltage stress between the flat wire conductors in the winding groove.

[0028] In some embodiments, the stator winding includes a plurality of phase windings, each phase winding includes at least one branch circuit, and the branch circuit includes a plurality of coil units. The phase winding includes 2P pole-phase groups, where P is a positive integer. Each phase winding includes a plurality of branch circuits, and the plurality of coil units of at least one branch circuit are distributed among all the pole-phase groups.

[0029] The above technical solution can reduce the imbalance of the branch circuit potential due to the eccentricity of the rotor.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the following clearly describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0035] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this application shall have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the technical field to which this application pertains. In this application, the terms used in the description of the application are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application. The terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof in the description of the specification, claims, and drawings of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive "comprising". The terms "first", "second", etc. in the description of the specification, claims, or drawings of this application are not for describing a specific order or primary-secondary relationship, but for distinguishing different objects.

[0036] The "embodiments" referred to in this application mean that the specific features, structures, or characteristics described in connection with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase at each position in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0037] In the description of this application, unless otherwise specifically defined and limited, the terms "attachment", "connection", "linkage", "installation" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a removable connection, or an integral connection, a direct connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or a communication inside two elements. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of these terms in this application according to specific situations.

[0038] The term "and / or" in this application only describes the relationship of the relevant objects and represents that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B may represent three cases: A alone, the combination of A and B, and B alone. Also, the character " / " in this application generally represents that the relevant objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0039] In the embodiments of the present application, descriptions with the same reference signs represent the same members. For the sake of brevity, in different embodiments, detailed descriptions of the same members are omitted. It should be understood that the thicknesses of various members, sizes such as aspects, and the thickness and aspect of the entire integrated device shown in the drawings are for illustrative purposes only and do not constitute any limitation to the present application.

[0040] The term "plurality" as used in the present application refers to two or more (including two).

[0041] Currently, in the drive motors of new energy vehicles, the motor stator can be divided into circular wire conductors and flat wire conductors according to the cross-sectional shape of the coils forming the stator winding. A motor using flat wire conductors is called a flat wire motor. The flat wire motor can effectively improve the slot fill factor and improve the power density and torque density.

[0042] The inventor noticed that as the number of flat wire conductors in the winding groove gradually increases, the number and shape of the coils also increase accordingly, thereby causing intersections in the wire embedding direction of the coils and increasing the difficulty of wire embedding. At the wire insertion end of the stator winding, since the coils are stacked on top of each other, the height of the winding end increases, the space at the winding end becomes cramped, and there is a possibility of insulation failure during long-term operation.

[0043] In view of this, the embodiments of the present application provide a flat wire motor and its stator that can reduce the shape of the coils, simplify the wire embedding process, and lower the height of the stator winding end by adjusting the connection method of the coils.

[0044] For ease of understanding, the following is a description of the technical terms that appear in the present application as follows.

[0045] Stator: Refers to the stationary part of the motor, and its function is to generate a rotating magnetic field.

[0046] Rotor: It refers to the rotating member in a motor, and its function is to realize the conversion between electrical energy and mechanical energy.

[0047] Span: It refers to the distance that two element sides of the same element in the motor winding span on the armature surface, and is generally represented by the number of winding grooves opened in the stator core.

[0048] Number of pole pairs P: The number of pole pairs is abbreviated as the pole pairs. After the motor winding is energized, the formed magnetic poles appear in the form of pairs of N poles and S poles. The total number of magnetic poles is 2P.

[0049] Pole pitch: The pole pitch refers to the distance occupied by each pole of the motor along the circumferential surface of the air gap. The pole pitch can be represented by the number of winding grooves of the stator core. Exemplarily, the pole pitch is Z / 2P, where Z is the total number of winding grooves of the stator core.

[0050] Pole-phase group: In an AC motor, a plurality of coils belonging to the in-phase winding are connected in series in one pole pitch to form a group, which is called a pole-phase group or also a coil group. The current direction and electromagnetic action of each coil in the pole-phase group are all the same, and these coils jointly generate the magnetic poles in this phase winding.

[0051] Phase winding: The phase winding refers to a set of windings that are connected in series or in parallel by one or more parallel-connected branch circuits in a predetermined connection method.

[0053] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, some embodiments of the present application provide a stator 100 of a flat wire motor including a stator core 200 and a stator winding 300 installed on the stator core 200. A plurality of winding grooves 220 are formed in the inner wall 210 of the stator core 200, and the plurality of winding grooves 220 are installed along the circumferential direction of the inner wall 210 of the stator core 200. The stator winding 300 includes a plurality of coil units 310, each coil unit 310 includes a first coil 311 and a second coil 312, the first coil 311 includes a first insertion part 3111, a second insertion part 3112 and a first connection part 3113 connecting the first insertion part 3111 and the second insertion part 3112, the second coil 312 includes a third insertion part 3121, a fourth insertion part 3122 and a second connection part 3123 connecting the third insertion part 3121 and the fourth insertion part 3122, the first insertion part 3111, the third insertion part 3121, the fourth insertion part 3122 and the second insertion part 3112 are arranged along the circumferential direction and are respectively inserted into different winding grooves 220, the first insertion part 3111 is connected to the fourth insertion part 3122, and the second connection part 3123 is located on the side of the first connection part 3113 facing the stator core 200.

[0054] The stator core 200 is divided into an insertion end 230 and a protruding end 240 along its axial direction, and the winding groove 220 can extend from the insertion end 230 to the protruding end 240.

[0055] The first coil 311 and the second coil 312 may be hairpin coils. Along the axial direction of the stator core 200, the stator winding 300 may include a wire insertion end 320 and a welding end 330. The wire insertion end 320 of the stator winding 300 may be located at the insertion end 230 of the stator core 200, and the welding end 330 of the stator winding 300 may be located at the protruding end 240 of the stator core 200. When winding the coil, the first coil 311 and the second coil 312 can be inserted into the winding groove 220 through the insertion end 230 and protrude from the winding groove 220 through the protruding end 240.

[0056] The first connecting portion 3113 and the second connecting portion 3123 are located on the same side in the axial direction of the stator core 200. Exemplarily, both the first connecting portion 3113 and the second connecting portion 3123 are installed at the wire insertion end 320 of the stator winding 300.

[0057] The winding grooves 220 accommodating the first insertion portion 3111, the winding grooves 220 accommodating the third insertion portion 3121, the winding grooves 220 accommodating the fourth insertion portion 3122, and the winding grooves 220 accommodating the second insertion portion 3112 are arranged along the circumferential direction.

[0058] The first coil 311 and the second coil 312 may be directly connected or may be indirectly connected via other conductive structures. Exemplarily, a portion protruding from the winding groove of the first coil and a portion protruding from the winding groove of the second coil can be connected, thereby connecting the first insertion portion 3111 and the fourth insertion portion 3122. Alternatively, a conductive strip may be installed on one side of the stator core, and both ends of the conductive strip are welded to the first insertion portion 3111 and the fourth insertion portion 3122 respectively, thereby connecting the first insertion portion 3111 and the fourth insertion portion 3122.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present application, the first coil 311 is a long-distance coil, the second coil 312 is a short-distance coil, and the combination of the long-distance coil and the short-distance coil can form a concentric nested arrangement at the wire insertion end 320 of the stator winding 300. The second connecting portion 3123 of the second coil 312 can be drilled between the first connecting portion 3113 and the stator core 200, thereby reducing the space overly occupied in the axial direction of the stator core 200 and lowering the height of the coil unit 310 in the axial direction. The stator winding 300 uses a plurality of coil units 310 of the same type, which can reduce the linearity of the coil, simplify the wire embedding process, and lower the height of the end portion of the stator winding 300.

[0060] With this connection method, the first coil 311 and the second coil 312 form adjacent coils in a single branch circuit and are connected in series. Moreover, there is a relatively large distributed capacitance at the connection site between the wire insertion end 320 and the welding end 330 for the first coil 311 and the second coil 312. This is advantageous for absorbing the high-frequency voltage impact of the driver, reducing the voltage oscillation amplitude of the first coil 311 and the second coil 312, and improving the insulation reliability.

[0061] In some embodiments, the plurality of winding grooves 220 are uniformly installed along the circumferential direction of the inner wall 210 of the stator core 200. In other words, in the circumferential direction, the plurality of winding grooves 220 are installed at equal intervals. When designing the coil, the coil span may be determined based on the number of slots, thereby reducing the linearity of the coil and simplifying the wire embedding process.

[0062] In some embodiments, the winding groove 220 extends along the axial direction of the stator core 200 and penetrates the stator core 200 along the axial direction of the stator core 200. This embodiment can reduce the bending of the coil during the process of inserting the coil into the winding groove 220 and lower the assembly difficulty.

[0063] In some embodiments, the first coil 311 further includes a first extension portion 3114 and a second extension portion 3115. The first extension portion 3114 extends from one end of the first connection portion 3113 of the first insertion portion 3111 away from the first connection portion 3113, and the second extension portion 3115 extends from one end of the first connection portion 3113 of the second insertion portion 3112 away from the first connection portion 3113. The first extension portion 3114 and the second extension portion 3115 protrude from the winding groove 220 to facilitate connection with other coils.

[0064] Exemplarily, the first coil 311 is a hairpin coil. Before being inserted into the winding groove 220, the first coil 311 may include two straight sides, and the two straight sides are inserted into the winding groove 220 through the insertion end 230. The portions of the two straight sides accommodated in the winding groove 220 respectively form a first insertion part 3111 and a second insertion part 3112, and the portions extending through the protruding ends 240 of the two straight sides respectively form a first extension part 3114 and a second extension part 3115.

[0065] Both the first extension part 3114 and the second extension part 3115 are installed at the welding end 330 of the stator winding 300. After inserting the first coil 311 into the stator core 200, the first extension part 3114 and the second extension part 3115 can be bent to weld the first extension part 3114 and the second extension part 3115 to other coils.

[0066] In some embodiments, the second coil 312 further includes a third extension part 3124 and a fourth extension part 3125. The third extension part 3124 extends from one end of the second connection part 3123 of the third insertion part 3121 away from the second connection part 3123, and the fourth extension part 3125 extends from one end of the second connection part 3123 of the fourth insertion part 3122 away from the second connection part 3123. The third extension part 3124 and the fourth extension part 3125 protrude from the winding groove 220 to facilitate connection with other coils.

[0067] Exemplarily, the second coil 312 is a hairpin coil.

[0068] In some embodiments, the first extension part 3114 is bent toward the fourth insertion part 3122 with respect to the first insertion part 3111, and the fourth extension part 3125 is bent toward the first insertion part 3111 with respect to the fourth insertion part 3122 and connected to the first extension part 3114.

[0069] The first extension part 3114 and the fourth extension part 3125 are bent relatively, which can reduce the requirements for the sizes of the first extension part 3114 and the fourth extension part 3125 and reduce the height at the welding end 330 of the stator winding 300.

[0070] In some embodiments, the first extension portion 3114 is welded to the fourth extension portion 3125. The welding process is simple and can reduce the contact resistance between the first extension portion 3114 and the fourth extension portion 3125.

[0071] In some embodiments, the second extension portion 3115 is bent with respect to the second insertion portion 3112 to facilitate welding with other coils. This application does not limit the bending direction of the second extension portion 3115. Exemplarily, the second extension portions 3115 of some coil units 310 may be bent along different directions.

[0072] In some embodiments, the third extension portion 3124 is bent with respect to the third insertion portion 3121 to facilitate welding with other coils. This application does not limit the bending direction of the third extension portion 3124. Exemplarily, the third extension portions 3124 of some coil units 310 may be bent along different directions.

[0073] In some embodiments, the number of winding grooves 220 is 12·M, where M is a positive integer. The span between the first insertion portion 3111 and the second insertion portion 3112 of the first coil 311 is 7 winding grooves 220, and the span between the third insertion portion 3121 and the fourth insertion portion 3122 of the second coil 312 is 5 winding grooves 220.

[0074] Exemplarily, the number of winding grooves 220 may be 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, or 72. This embodiment can expand the usage range of the winding design and adapt to different voltage and power ranges.

[0075] The first coil 311 is a long-distance coil, and its span is 7 winding grooves 220. The second coil 312 is a short-distance coil, and its span is 5 winding grooves 220.

[0076] The combination of the long-distance coil and the short-distance coil can form a concentric nested arrangement at the wire insertion end 320 of the stator winding 300. The second connection portion 3123 of the second coil 312 can be drilled between the first connection portion 3113 and the stator core 200, thereby reducing the space unnecessarily occupied in the axial direction of the stator core 200 and lowering the height of the coil unit 310 in the axial direction. The span of the first coil 311 and the span of the second coil 312 are adapted to the number of winding grooves 220, thereby enabling a plurality of coil units 310 to be fitted into the winding grooves 220.

[0077] In some embodiments, the first insertion portion 3111, the third insertion portion 3121, the fourth insertion portion 3122, and the second insertion portion 3112 are flat wire conductors in the corresponding winding grooves 220 respectively. The flat wire conductors in each winding groove 220 are installed in n layers, where n is a positive even number. Along the direction from the groove bottom 221 to the groove opening 222 of the winding groove 220, the n layers of flat wire conductors are denoted as layer L1,......, layer L i i,......, and layer L n i, where 1 ≤ i ≤ n.

[0078] The first insertion portion 3111, the second insertion portion 3112, the third insertion portion 3121, and the fourth insertion portion 3122 of the coil unit 310 are four flat wire conductors of the coil unit 310. The flat wire conductors are the effective sides of the coil and are the parts embedded in the stator core 200 to play the role of electromagnetic pole energy conversion. The n layers of flat wire conductors can improve the electromagnetic pole energy conversion efficiency.

[0079] The four flat wire conductors of the coil unit 310 are respectively fitted into four winding grooves 220. The n layers of flat wire conductors in each winding groove 220 respectively belong to n coil units 310.

[0080] The groove opening 222 of the winding groove 220 is formed in the inner wall 210 of the stator core 200 facing the rotor. The groove bottom 221 of the winding groove 220 is the bottom wall facing the groove opening 222 of the winding groove 220.

[0081] Exemplarily, n may be 2, 4, 6, 8, 16, or 32.

[0082] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the flat wire conductor may be rectangular. The rectangular flat wire conductor can improve the groove filling rate.

[0085] The number of phase windings may be 2, 3, 4, or 5. Of course, the number of phase windings may also be greater than 5.

[0086] The stator 100 of the embodiments of the present application is applicable to motors with different numbers of phases and can adapt to different voltage and power ranges.

[0087] In some embodiments, the stator winding 300 includes three phase windings, which are the first phase winding, the second phase winding, and the third phase winding, respectively. Optionally, the first phase winding is the U-phase winding, the second phase winding is the V-phase winding, and the third phase winding is the W-phase winding.

[0088] Each phase winding may include only one branch circuit or a plurality of branch circuits. The branch circuit of the phase winding can also be called a parallel-connected branch circuit.

[0089] The number of branch circuits of the phase winding may be any integer, thereby expanding the range of use of the winding design and adapting to different voltage and power ranges.

[0090] In some embodiments, the branch circuit (for example, the branch circuit U1 shown in FIGS. 7 to 17 described later) includes a plurality of coil units 310. In this embodiment, the number of coil units 310 of the branch circuit is not limited.

[0091] If necessary, the number of coil units 310 of the branch circuit can be freely adjusted, thereby expanding the range of use of the winding design and adapting to different voltage and power ranges.

[0092] In some embodiments, the stator winding 300 may be connected as a full pitch winding, a short pitch winding, or a multi-layer winding.

[0093] In some embodiments, in the branch circuit, the flat wire conductors connecting at least two coil units 310 are in the same layer.

[0094] The same layer refers to the order in which the flat wire conductors are stacked within the winding groove 220. For example, the flat wire conductors connecting two coil units 310 to each other are both in layer a or both in layer h.

[0095] Exemplarily, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the second extension 3115 of one coil unit 310 is welded to the second extension 3115 of another coil unit 310, and the second insertion part 3112 of this one coil unit 310 and the second insertion part 3112 of this another coil unit 310 are both flat wire conductors in layer h.

[0096] In the embodiments of the present application, at least two coil units 310 can use full-distance welding and do not require welding across layers, thereby simplifying the welding process. The flat wire conductors connected in the same layer can also balance the groove potential of the branch circuit and reduce the circulating current loss between the branch circuits.

[0097] In some embodiments, in the branch circuit, the L1 layers (for example, the flat wire conductors of layer a) of at least two coil units 310 are connected. The L1 layers of the two coil units 310 are close to the outer ends along the radial direction of the stator core 200, facilitating welding.

[0098] In some embodiments, in the branch circuit, the L n layers (for example, the flat wire conductors of layer h) of at least two coil units 310 are connected. The L n layers of the two coil units 310 are close to the inner ends along the radial direction of the stator core 200, facilitating welding.

[0099] In some embodiments, in the branch circuit, the L1 layers of at least two coil units 310 are connected, and the L n layers of at least two coil units 310 are connected.

[0100] In some embodiments, a first lead wire and a second lead wire are provided at both ends of the branch circuit, and the first lead wire and the second lead wire are connected to different flat wire conductors.

[0101] The flat wire conductor connected to the first lead wire may be a flat wire conductor of any layer, and the flat wire conductor connected to the second lead wire may be a flat wire conductor of any layer, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0102] The first lead wire and the second lead wire are two connection ends of the branch circuit, and both of them may be used to connect to a bus bar or other members, thereby connecting the branch circuit to an external circuit.

[0103] One of the first lead wire and the second lead wire is a positive electrode lead wire, and the other is a negative electrode lead wire.

[0104] In some embodiments, the flat wire conductors connected to the first lead wire and the flat wire conductors connected to the second lead wire are provided in different winding grooves 220, thereby increasing the distance between the first lead wire and the second lead wire and reducing the risk of the first lead wire and the second lead wire contacting and short - circuiting.

[0105] In some embodiments, the second extension 3115 of the coil unit 310 at the tip of the branch circuit may be used as the first lead wire, and the second extension 3115 of the coil unit 310 at the rear end of the branch circuit may be used as the second lead wire. By using the second extension 3115 of the coil unit 310 as the lead wire, components can be saved, costs can be reduced, and space utilization efficiency can be improved.

[0106] In some embodiments, the flat wire conductor connected to the first lead wire and the flat wire conductor connected to the second lead wire are in the same layer. Exemplarily, both the flat wire conductor connected to the first lead wire and the flat wire conductor connected to the second lead wire are flat wire conductors of layer a.

[0107] This embodiment is advantageous for the arrangement of the bus bar and facilitates the connection between the first lead wire, the second lead wire and the external circuit.

[0108] In some embodiments, the branch circuit includes flat wire conductors of layer k, where k is a positive integer greater than 1. Along the direction in which current flows, the flat wire conductors of layer k are denoted as layer A1, layer A2,..., layer A k-1 layer and A k layer.

[0109] The flat wire conductors of layer k of the branch circuit are connected in series, and the current flows from layer A1 to A k layer in sequence.

[0110] Exemplarily, layer A1 is connected to the first lead wire, and layer A k layer is connected to the second lead wire.

[0111] In some embodiments, any two flat wire conductors that are located within the same winding groove 220 of the branch circuit and adjacent to each other are respectively denoted as the A j layer and the A l layer, where 1 ≦ j < l ≦ k. And l - j ≦ k / 2.

[0112] The greater the difference in the numbers of the flat wire conductors, the greater the differential pressure between the two flat wire conductors. If the difference in the numbers of two flat wire conductors that are located within the same winding groove 220 and adjacent to each other is too large, the voltage stress between the flat wire conductors in the winding groove 220 will become excessive. In the embodiments of the present application, l - j ≦ k / 2 is set, thereby reducing the voltage stress between the flat wire conductors in the winding groove 220.

[0113] In particular, the present embodiment is not limited to adopting the coil unit 310 described above. As long as the difference in the numbers of the flat wire conductors meets the range requirements, the present embodiment may adopt other coil winding methods.

[0114] In some embodiments, the phase winding includes 2P pole-phase groups, where P is a positive integer. Each phase winding includes a plurality of branch circuits, and the plurality of coil units 310 of at least one branch circuit are all distributed among all the pole-phase groups.

[0115] 2P may be the total number of magnetic poles of the stator 100.

[0116] The embodiments of the present application can distribute the plurality of coil units 310 of at least one branch circuit among all the pole-phase groups, thereby reducing the imbalance of the branch circuit potential caused by the eccentricity of the rotor.

[0117] FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of one branch circuit of the stator according to some embodiments of the present application. FIG. 7 shows one branch circuit U1 of the U-phase winding. Hereinafter, taking the branch circuit U1 as an example, the branch circuit of the stator winding of the present application will be described in detail.

[0118] In Figure 7, N and S represent two magnetic poles of the stator. Exemplarily, the stator has eight magnetic poles, i.e., four pairs of magnetic poles.

[0119] The stator core is provided with 48 winding grooves. In Figure 7, the 48 winding grooves are indicated by the numbers in a row under the N pole and the S pole respectively, i.e., 1 - 48. Each magnetic pole corresponds to six winding grooves.

[0120] Eight flat wire conductors are accommodated in each winding groove. In Figure 7, the eight flat wire conductors are shown as layer a, layer b, layer c, layer d, layer e, layer f, layer g, and layer h respectively.

[0121] The branch circuit U1 includes 16 coil units, i.e., the branch circuit U1 includes 64 flat wire conductors. In Figure 7, the 64 flat wire conductors are indicated by 64 numbers distributed in the table. The 64 flat wire conductors are connected in numerical order. The solid arrows in Figure 7 indicate the connection method at the wire insertion ends of the 64 flat wire conductors, and the dashed arrows represent the connection method at the welding ends of the flat wire conductors. In Figure 7, from 1 to 64, every four flat wire conductors belong to one coil unit.

[0122] Exemplarily, the positive - pole lead wire is the first lead wire, and the negative - pole lead wire is the second lead wire. In Figure 7, U1+ represents the first lead wire, and U1 - represents the second lead wire.

[0123] The first lead wire U1+ is connected to the first flat wire conductor, and the second lead wire U1 - is connected to the 64th flat wire conductor.

[0124] In some embodiments, the coil unit including the 33rd to 36th flat wire conductors is connected to the coil unit including the 29th to 32nd flat wire conductors. Both the 32nd flat wire conductor and the 33rd flat wire conductor are flat wire conductors of layer a. These two coil units can use full-distance welding and do not require welding across layers, thereby simplifying the welding process. The flat wire conductors connected to the same layer can also balance the groove potential of the branch circuit and reduce the circulating current loss between the branch circuits.

[0125] Exemplarily, the coil unit including the 13th to 16th flat wire conductors is connected to the coil unit including the 17th to 20th flat wire conductors. Both the 16th flat wire conductor and the 17th flat wire conductor are flat wire conductors of layer h.

[0126] Exemplarily, the coil unit including the 45th to 48th flat wire conductors is connected to the coil unit including the 49th to 52nd flat wire conductors. Both the 48th flat wire conductor and the 49th flat wire conductor are flat wire conductors of layer h.

[0127] In the branch circuit U1 of the embodiment of the present application, the flat wire conductors of three pairs of coil units adopt same-layer connection, which can balance the groove potential of the branch circuit and reduce the circulating current loss between the branch circuits.

[0128] In some embodiments, the 1st flat wire conductor connected to the first lead wire U1+ is located in the 13th winding groove, and the 64th flat wire conductor connected to the second lead wire U1- is located in the 43rd winding groove.

[0129] In some embodiments, the first flat wire conductor connected to the first lead wire U1+ and the 64th flat wire conductor connected to the second lead wire U1- are both a-layer flat wire conductors. This embodiment is advantageous for the arrangement of the bus bar and facilitates the connection between the first lead wire U1+ and the second lead wire U1- and the external circuit.

[0130] In some embodiments, the stator includes eight magnetic poles, and correspondingly, the phase winding includes eight pole-phase groups. The 16 coils of the branch circuit U1 are distributed among the eight pole-phase groups, which can reduce the imbalance of the branch circuit potential caused by the eccentricity of the rotor.

[0131] In some embodiments, the branch circuit U1 constitutes a full pitch winding.

[0132] In some embodiments, the first flat wire conductor, the 29th flat wire conductor, the 37th flat wire conductor, and the 57th flat wire conductor are stacked in this order in the 13th winding groove. The greater the difference in the numbers of adjacent flat wire conductors, the greater the differential pressure between the two flat wire conductors. In the 13th winding groove, the number difference between the first flat wire conductor and the 29th flat wire conductor is the largest, and the differential pressure between the first flat wire conductor and the 29th flat wire conductor is also the largest. This application can reduce the voltage stress between the flat wire conductors in the winding groove by reasonably setting the coil winding method to make the number difference between any two adjacent flat wire conductors located in the same winding groove in the branch circuit U1 less than 32 (i.e., half of the total number of flat wire conductors in the branch circuit). The winding method shown in FIG. 7 can reduce 57% of the voltage stress in the winding groove.
