Solution Overview

Problem

The delta connection system in three-phase rotating electrical machines faces challenges in assembly and insulation due to overlapping crossover wires, which complicates wiring and increases thickness, making it difficult to meet device downsizing demands and prone to insulation failure.

Innovation Solution

The winding direction of the second phase coil is reversed, with crossover wires for the first and third phase coils arranged on one side and the second phase coil's crossover wire on the opposite side, reducing interference and maintaining insulation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If all three-phase coils are wound in the same direction with crossover wires arranged on the same surface, then the wiring structure is simple and consistent, but the crossover wires overlap densely increasing thickness and making assembly difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewiring structure complexityVSAvoidstator thickness
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLength of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dimensionality change by arranging crossover wires on different surfaces (first surface and second surface) of the stator instead of all on the same surface. This spatial redistribution reduces overlapping and density at any single location, thereby reducing the effective thickness and improving assembly ease while maintaining wiring structure simplicity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Ease of manufacture

If all three-phase coils are wound in the same direction, then the winding process is consistent and simple, but the contact points are physically separated making assembly difficult and insulation hard to maintain

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewinding process consistencyVSAvoidassembly ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies inversion by winding the second phase coil in the reverse direction compared to the first and third phase coils. This reversal causes the contact points (A1-C6, A6-B1, B6-C1) to converge at the same location on the stator surface, transforming the previously separated contact points into a clustered arrangement that facilitates assembly and insulation maintenance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

3Device complexity

If crossover wires are arranged densely together on the same surface, then the wiring structure is compact, but the location increases thickness and requires adhesive impregnation due to unstable floating

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvewiring arrangement compactnessVSAvoidinsulation reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent distributes crossover wires across two different surfaces (first and second surfaces) of the stator rather than concentrating them on one surface. This dimensional separation reduces the density of wires at any single location, eliminating the need for adhesive impregnation and reducing the risk of insulation failure due to unstable floating

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

AI summary

A rotating electrical machine may include a stator and a rotor. The stator may include a plurality of iron cores and a plurality of windings. The plurality of windings may include a first phase winding, a second phase winding, and a third phase winding connected in a delta connection. The first phase winding, the second phase winding, and the third phase winding may each be connected in series with a respective crossover wire. The first and third phase windings may be wound in a first winding direction. The second phase winding may be wound in a second winding direction. A first crossover wire connecting the first phase winding and/or a third crossover wire connecting the third phase winding may be arranged on a first side of the stator. A second crossover wire connecting the second phase winding may be arranged on a second side of the stator.
