Armature Connecting Insulator Guide Portion Interference
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing armatures face challenges in designing guide portions that do not interfere with each other, particularly due to complex shapes and increased size, which complicates the arrangement of core constituent members and insulators.
Innovation Solution
The armature features a connecting insulator member with a lower, intermediate, and upper layer insulator member, each with arc-shaped guide portions arranged in a specific axial and radial configuration to prevent interference, allowing for the easy realization of non-interfering guide portions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If guide portions are arranged to connect two insulators spaced apart in the circumferential direction, then jumper wire guidance is achieved, but guide portions may interfere with each other
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transitions from a two-dimensional planar arrangement of guide portions to a three-dimensional spatial arrangement by stacking insulator members in the axial direction. Each insulator member has guide portions at different axial positions, allowing jumper wires to be routed at multiple levels without interference. This dimensional change resolves the contradiction by enabling effective wire guidance while avoiding guide portion interference.
2Device complexity
If multiple insulator members are assembled in the axial direction, then guide portion interference is prevented, but radial and axial enlargement occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the insulator structure into multiple discrete insulator members stacked in the axial direction, with each member having its own guide portions. This segmentation allows the guide portions to be distributed at different axial levels, preventing interference while maintaining a compact overall structure. The segmented approach resolves the contradiction by organizing guide portions spatially without requiring excessive radial or axial expansion.
3Strength
If arc-shaped guide portions are used, then structural rigidity is enhanced, but manufacturing complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs arc-shaped guide portions instead of straight or angular configurations. The curved geometry inherently provides structural rigidity and resistance to deformation while distributing mechanical stresses more evenly. Although curved shapes can be more challenging to manufacture, the arc configuration achieves superior mechanical performance that resolves the contradiction between strength and manufacturability by prioritizing the critical rigidity requirement.

AI summary
A stator includes a connecting insulator member having a guide portion that connects two insulators, and jumper wires that are guided by the guide portion and connect two coils. The connection insulator member includes a lower layer insulator member, an intermediate layer insulator member, and an upper layer insulator member. The guide portion of the lower layer insulator member has a lower layer arc connecting part, the guide portion of the intermediate layer insulator member has an intermediate layer arc connecting part, and the guide portion of the upper layer insulator member has an upper layer arc connecting part. The intermediate layer arc connecting part is arranged above in the axial direction with respect to the lower layer arc connecting part in the axial direction, and the upper layer arc connecting part is arranged outside in the radial direction with respect to the intermediate layer arc connecting part.
