Description

  The present invention relates to an interphase insulating sheet for securing interphase insulation between a plurality of coils provided in an armature for a rotating electrical machine.

  In a rotating electrical machine such as a motor (electric motor), a generator (generator), and a motor / generator that functions as both a motor and a generator as required, an armature is provided to create a rotating magnetic field. As a general armature for a rotating electrical machine, a plurality of slots extending in the axial direction are distributed in the circumferential direction, and each slot has an inner circumferential opening that opens radially inward. Some have a cylindrical core and a plurality of coils wound in a distributed winding form in a plurality of slots. In general, a thin conductor is used as the coil material. For example, when a U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase coil is wound around a core, a plurality of in-phase conductors are wound around each slot and pulled out at both ends in the axial direction of the core. It is bundled as a transition part. At both ends in the axial direction of the core, there are transition portions of the coils of a plurality of phases, and a coil end portion is formed by the transition portions of the coils of each phase arranged over the entire circumference of the core. And the interphase insulation sheet for ensuring the interphase insulation between the transition parts of a different phase is provided.

  The interphase insulating sheet described in Patent Document 1 has a three-dimensional member that covers a part of a bundled crossing portion. A plurality of the three-dimensional members are bonded to a belt-like member extending over the entire circumference of the coil end portion. That is, in patent document 1, since the crossing part in which the several thin conducting wire wound by the slot was bundled is made into the object of interphase insulation, the shape of an interphase insulating sheet also corresponds to the shape of a crossing part. It becomes. For example, the interphase insulating sheet described in Patent Document 1 has a complicated shape that covers the transition portion from any of the axial direction, the radial direction, and the circumferential direction.

JP 2007-74773 A

  Rather than winding a thin conductive wire around a core as in the past, a coil is formed in advance using a rectangular conductive wire, and an armature for a rotating electrical machine is manufactured by assembling the pre-formed coil to a core. Proposed. When the coil is preformed, the coil end portion at the end opposite to the lead wire is drawn is bent inward in the radial direction. By inserting the preformed coil in the axial direction with respect to the core with the bent coil end portion formed in a bent manner, interference between the core and the coil end portion (bending coil end portion) can be avoided.

  In this type of armature for a rotating electrical machine, the coils of each phase in the bent coil end portion are regularly aligned and preformed, which is completely different from the shape of a conventional transition portion. Therefore, the shape of the interphase insulating sheet is inevitably different, and the conventional interphase insulating sheet as described in Patent Document 1 cannot be diverted. For example, when the coils of each phase are regularly laminated along the axial direction at the bent coil end, the interphase insulation of each phase is inserted by inserting an interphase insulating sheet in a plane orthogonal to the axial direction. It is necessary to ensure. In other words, the shape of the interphase insulating sheet is not a form in which the connecting portion formed of a bundle of conducting wires is covered from any of the axial direction, the radial direction, and the circumferential direction as in the prior art, and the rectangular conducting wires are aligned. The bending coil end portion (crossover portion) arranged in this manner is attached from one direction. Therefore, there is a problem that it is difficult to determine the mounting position of the interphase insulating sheet, and even if the position is determined and assembled, it may not be fixed with the varnish until the insertion of the coil into the core is completed, and a positional shift may occur.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and its purpose is to ensure interphase insulation between coils of a plurality of phases and to facilitate stable mounting on a bent coil end portion. The point is to provide a sheet.

In order to achieve this object, the characteristic configuration of the interphase insulating sheet for securing interphase insulation between the coils of the plurality of phases included in the armature for a rotating electrical machine according to the present invention is wound around a substantially cylindrical core. A bent coil end in which at least one end portion protruding in the axial direction from the core of the coil is bent radially inward and coil end portions of different phases are arranged in an axial direction and a circumferential direction. The coil end portion of the armature for a rotating electrical machine, which is a part, is attached to the bending coil end portion, and the coil end portion of one of the plurality of phases is set as a target phase coil end portion at a predetermined interval along the circumferential direction. In order to ensure interphase insulation between the arranged target phase coil end portions and the adjacent coil end portions of different phases, adjacent to the plurality of insulating portions arranged at predetermined intervals along the circumferential direction. An annular sheet member having a connecting portion that connects between two insulating portions is bent at a plurality of locations, and the insulating portion is disposed so as to face the target phase coil end portion from the axial direction. A planar insulating portion, and a side insulating portion formed by bending both circumferential edges of the planar insulating portion in the axial direction, and between the coupling portion and the side insulating portion, and the side insulating One of the first and second planar insulating portions is bent on a first line extending radially from the center point of the annular sheet member, and the other is bent on a second line parallel to the first line. There is in point.
In the present application, the directions of “axial direction”, “radial direction”, and “circumferential direction” are determined based on a substantially cylindrical core. At this time, each direction about a coil shall prescribe | regulate as a direction in the state by which the coil was wound by the slot. In addition, the “rotary electric machine” is used as a concept including a motor (electric motor), a generator (generator), and a motor / generator that functions as both a motor and a generator as necessary.

According to said characteristic structure, a plane insulation part covers the part which faces the coil end part of a different phase which is a part of object phase coil end part, and an axial direction. This ensures insulation between the target phase coil end portions facing and adjacent to each other in the axial direction and the coil end portions of different phases.
Further, since the side surface insulating portion covers at least a part of the portion facing the coil end portion of the different phase in the circumferential direction in the target phase coil end portion, the target phase coil end portion is sandwiched from the circumferential direction by the side surface insulating portion. . Thereby, relative movement in the circumferential direction of the insulating portion (that is, the planar insulating portion and the side surface insulating portion) with respect to the target phase coil end portion is prevented. Here, when considering only the insulating part attached to one target phase coil end part, the insulating part may move relative to the target phase coil end part in the radial direction. That is, if the plurality of insulating portions are not connected to each other, each insulating portion may move in the radial direction. However, according to this characteristic configuration, the insulating portions are connected to each other by the connecting portions and are only allowed to move in the same direction as a unit, and therefore, the insulating portions cannot move in the radial direction. Therefore, the relative movement in the radial direction of the interphase insulating sheet with respect to the target phase coil end portion is also prevented.
Furthermore, according to this characteristic configuration, the distance between the first line and the second line that are parallel to each other is the circumferential length of the side surface insulating part, that is, the height of the planar insulating part with respect to the connecting part. And its height is uniform throughout the radial direction. That is, when the planar insulating portion covers one surface in the axial direction of the target phase coil end portion and the side surface insulating portion covers two circumferential surfaces of the target phase coil end portion, the planar insulating portion when the connection portion is used as a reference Since the height is the same at any location, the stability of the insulating portion (plane insulating portion and side surface insulating portion) to the target phase coil end portion is improved.
Furthermore, according to this characteristic configuration, the shape of the insulating portion is previously formed into a shape that covers one surface in the axial direction and two surfaces in the circumferential direction of the target phase coil end portion. Therefore, the positioning when the interphase insulating sheet is mounted on the bent coil end portion becomes easy and can be mounted in a stable state.
Therefore, it is possible to provide an interphase insulating sheet that can reliably perform interphase insulation between coils of a plurality of phases and can easily be stably attached to the bent coil end portion.

  Further, it is preferable that the connection portion and the side surface insulating portion are bent on the first line, and the side surface insulating portion and the planar insulating portion are bent on the second line. .

  If the connecting portion is bent when the annular sheet member is bent, the position of the insulating portion connected to the connecting portion is an appropriate position (i.e., attached to the target phase coil end portion). There is a possibility of deviation from the appropriate position. However, according to this characteristic configuration, the first line between the connecting portion and the side surface insulating portion extends radially from the center point of the annular sheet member, so that the annular sheet member is bent on the first line. As long as this is the case, no bending occurs in the arc-shaped belt-shaped portion forming the connecting portion. As a result, the insulating portion can be appropriately attached to the target phase coil end portion.

  In addition, it is preferable that the planar insulating portion of the annular sheet member has a bending absorbing portion that absorbs bending.

If the connection portion and the side surface insulating portion are bent on the first line and the side surface insulating portion and the planar insulating portion are bent on the second line, the planar insulating portion may be bent.
However, according to this characteristic configuration, even if the plane insulating portion is bent, the bending is absorbed by the bending absorbing portion formed in the plane insulating portion. That is, it is possible to prevent an influence such as a positional shift due to the bending generated in the planar insulating portion from spreading to other side insulating portions and the connecting portion.

  Further, the target phase coil end portion includes an outer peripheral side axial step portion having an axial step over the entire circumferential direction of the radially outer side portion, and the radially outer side portion of the planar insulating portion is It is preferable that the configuration be arranged so as to cover the outer circumferential side axial step portion of the target phase coil end portion.

If the connection portion and the side surface insulating portion are bent on the first line and the side surface insulating portion and the planar insulating portion are bent on the second line, the planar insulating portion may be bent.
However, according to this characteristic configuration, the planar insulating portion formed by a plane orthogonal to the axial direction is arranged so as to cover the step in the axial direction (outer peripheral side axial stepped portion). Can be resolved. In other words, since the deflection generated in the planar insulating portion is eliminated in the planar insulating portion, it is possible to prevent the influence of the positional deviation caused by the deflection from spreading to other side insulating portions and the connecting portion.

  Further, the armature for a rotating electrical machine is configured such that a plurality of axially extending slots are distributed in the circumferential direction and each slot has an inner circumferential opening that opens radially inward. And a three-phase coil composed of a first phase, a second phase, and a third phase wound in the form of distributed winding in the plurality of slots, and each phase constituting the bending coil end portion The coil end portion includes a radial conductor portion which is bent from the coil side portion disposed in each slot and extends in the radial direction, and a pair of the radial directions on the radially inward side from the inner peripheral opening portion. A circumferential conductor portion extending in the circumferential direction so as to connect between the conductor portions, and the circumferential conductor portion of the coil end portion of the second phase has a step portion in the axial direction at an intermediate portion in the circumferential direction. And at one end side in the circumferential direction from the stepped portion. The first phase coil having an inner side portion positioned on the inner side in the axial direction and an outer side portion positioned on the other side in the circumferential direction and on the outer side in the axial direction from the stepped portion. The end portion is adjacent to the inner side portion of the second phase coil end portion on the axially outer side, and is circumferential with respect to the outer side portion of the second phase coil end portion. The coil end portion of the third phase is adjacent to the outer side portion of the coil end portion of the second phase on the inner side in the axial direction, and the The second phase coil end portion is arranged adjacent to the inner side portion in the circumferential direction, and the first phase coil end portion or the third phase coil end portion is the target phase coil end. It is preferable that the configuration is a part.

  According to this configuration, among the three-phase coils, the first phase or the third phase coil end portion can be used as the target phase coil end portion, and the interphase insulation can be performed by the interphase insulating sheet between the second phase and the second phase. it can. If both the first phase and the third phase are the target coil end portions, the countermeasure for interphase insulation is applied to the coil end portions of the two-phase coils of the three phases. Insulation is ensured.

  When the first phase coil end portion is the target phase coil end portion, the planar insulating portion covers the axially inner side of the first phase coil end portion, and the side insulating portion is Covering at least a part of the circumferential side portion of the first phase coil end portion, and arranging the connecting portion so as to pass the axially outward side of the outer side portion of the second phase coil end portion. When the third phase coil end portion is the target phase coil end portion, the planar insulating portion covers the axially outer side of the third phase coil end portion, and the side surface insulating portion is Covering at least a part of the circumferential side portion of the third phase coil end portion, and arranging the connecting portion so as to pass inward in the axial direction of the inner side portion of the second phase coil end portion. It is preferable to adopt the configuration.

  According to this configuration, the positional relationship between the first phase coil end portion and the second phase coil end portion and the positional relationship between the third phase coil end portion and the second phase coil end portion are It is symmetrical with respect to a plane orthogonal to the direction. That is, the interphase insulating sheet that uses the first phase coil end portion as the target phase coil end portion and the interphase insulating sheet that uses the third phase coil end portion as the target phase coil end portion This can be realized by the interphase insulating sheet having a shape.

  The annular sheet member is preferably formed of a single member.

  According to this configuration, the number of parts can be minimized by forming the interphase insulating sheet with one member.

  The annular sheet member is preferably formed by connecting a plurality of arc-shaped belt members having the same shape or different shapes in the circumferential direction.

  According to this configuration, by forming the interphase insulating sheet with a plurality of members, even if a defect such as a defective shape occurs in some members, only the defective member becomes an unusable member, and the other members are It can be used in combination with another member. Therefore, the yield as the whole interphase insulating sheet can be improved. Moreover, it becomes easy to make it the shape which covers only the site | part which needs insulation. Therefore, the amount of material used for the interphase insulating sheet can be saved and the cost can be reduced.

In the present embodiment, the stator 2 corresponds to the “armature for rotating electrical machine” in the present invention. The stator 2 is fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the case 5. The configuration of the stator 2 will be described in detail later. Further, on the radially inner side of the stator 2, a rotor 3 as a magnetic field having a permanent magnet (not shown) is disposed so as to be relatively rotatable with respect to the stator 2 with the rotor shaft 4 as a rotation axis. Yes. That is, the rotating electrical machine 1 in this embodiment is an inner rotor type rotating electrical machine including a stator 2 as an armature. The case 5 is formed in a cylindrical shape in which an end wall 5a is provided at one end in the axial direction. The case 5 opens to the other end side in the axial direction, and a cover 6 is attached to the case 5 so as to close the opening. And the bearing 7 is provided in the radial direction center part of the end wall 5a of the case 5 and the cover 6, and the rotor 3 and the rotor shaft | axis 4 are rotatably supported with respect to the case 5 and the cover 6 via the bearing 7. FIG. ing.

2. Configuration of Stator As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the stator 2 includes a stator core 11 and a coil 21. The stator core 11 is formed by laminating a plurality of hollow disc-shaped electromagnetic steel plates, and is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape. A plurality of slots 12 extending in the axial direction L are distributed in the circumferential direction C on the inner peripheral surface of the stator core 11. In addition, each slot 12 has an inner peripheral opening 13 that opens inward in the radial direction: R1. In the present embodiment, the stator core 11 corresponds to a “core” in the present invention. Each slot 12 has the same cross-sectional shape as each other, and has a predetermined circumferential width and radial depth. In the present embodiment, the stator core 11 is provided with a total of 48 slots 12 on the entire circumference thereof. In the present embodiment, the coil 21 is constituted by a linear conductor 31 using a single rectangular conducting wire having a substantially rectangular cross section.

  As shown in FIG. 3A, teeth 15 are provided between slots 12 (U-phase slot 12u, V-phase slot 12v, and W-phase slot 12w) adjacent to each other of stator core 11. Protrusions 16 projecting in the circumferential direction are provided at both ends in the circumferential direction of the teeth 15 at the radially inner end of the teeth 15. In the present embodiment, the protruding portion 16 is formed integrally with the teeth 15 so that the cross-sectional shape orthogonal to the axial direction is substantially rectangular and is continuous in the axial direction. And the inner peripheral opening part 13 is formed between the two protrusion parts 16 provided in each of the adjacent two teeth 15 and facing in the circumferential direction. Further, a space radially outward from the inner peripheral opening 13 in the slot 12 is a slot interior 14.

  As described above, the inner peripheral opening 13 is formed between the two protruding portions 16 provided in each of the two adjacent teeth 15 and facing each other in the circumferential direction. Therefore, the slot 12 of the stator core 11 in the present embodiment is a semi-open slot in which the circumferential width W1 of the inner circumferential opening 13 that opens radially inward is narrower than the circumferential width W3 of the slot interior 14. It has become. A linear conductor 31 constituting the coil 21 is disposed inside the slot 14, and the coil 21 is wound around the slot 12. At this time, an in-slot insulating sheet (not shown) is disposed between the slot 12 and the coil 21.

  The stator 2 includes a plurality of coils 21 having different phases. In the present embodiment, the stator 2 is a stator used in the rotating electrical machine 1 driven by three-phase alternating current. Therefore, the stator 2 has a U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase three-phase coil 21 wound in the form of distributed winding in the plurality of slots 12 (“first phase, second phase, third phase” in the present invention). In this embodiment, in order to maximize the space factor of the coil 21 in relation to the size of the slot 12, the circumference of the linear conductor 31 constituting the coil 21 is provided. The direction width W5 is formed to be substantially equal to the circumferential width W3 of the slot interior 14. More specifically, the circumferential width W5 of the linear conductor 31 is formed using the linear conductor 31. Under the precondition that the coil 21 can be physically inserted into the slot interior 14, it is set to a value substantially equal to the circumferential width W3 of the slot interior 14. This improves the space factor of the coil 21. Energy efficiency of the rotating electrical machine 1 As described above, in the present embodiment, the slot 12 of the stator core 11 is a semi-open slot, and the circumferential width W1 of the inner circumferential opening 13 is the circumferential width of the slot interior 14. Therefore, the circumferential width W5 of the linear conductor 31 having a circumferential width substantially equal to the circumferential width W3 of the slot interior 14 is wider than the circumferential width W1 of the inner circumferential opening 13 of the slot 12. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the radial conductor portion 25 of the bent coil end portion 24 in each coil 21 has a circumferential width W7 of the circumferential width of the inner circumferential opening 13 of the slot 12. It is set as the structure provided with the narrow recessed part 32 narrower than W1.

In the present embodiment, each phase coil 21 (21u, 21v, 21w) is formed in a substantially cylindrical corrugated shape as a whole, as shown in FIGS. The coil 21 of each phase is a coil end that connects a coil side portion 22 arranged in the slot 12 and a pair of coil side portions 22 arranged in different slots 12 at both ends in the axial direction L of the stator core 11. Part 23. The coil side portions 22 are linearly formed so as to extend along the axial direction L corresponding to the shape of the slot interior 14. The coil end portion 23 is formed so as to extend along the circumferential direction C by connecting a pair of coil side portions 22 arranged in different slots 12. As shown in FIG. 2, each coil end portion 23 is disposed so as to protrude from both end portions in the axial direction L of the stator core 11 in the axial directions L1 and L2 of the stator core 11. As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the coil 21 extends in the axial direction L and is sequentially arranged in the plurality of slots 12. The coil side portions 22 are arranged on one axial end side: L2 side coil end portion. 23 and the other axial end side: the coil end portions 23 (bending coil end portions 24) on the L1 side are alternately connected to form a waveform that circulates in the circumferential direction C of the stator core 11. As described above, the coils 21 of the respective phases are formed in advance so as to have a shape that is wound around the stator core 11 by wave winding in a state in which the coil side portions 22 are respectively disposed in the corresponding slots 12. .

  In the present embodiment, the coil 21 is formed as a set of two coil side portions 22 arranged in the same slot 12. The set of two coil side portions 22 is formed by circulating a single continuous linear conductor 31 in the circumferential direction C of the stator core 11. In addition, two sets of two coil side portions 22 constituting the in-phase coil 21 are arranged in parallel in the circumferential direction C so as to be arranged in the slots 12 adjacent to each other. The two sets of coil side portions 22 are connected so as to be continuous at a predetermined position of the coil end portion 23. Therefore, the coil 21 shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. 6 is formed by circulating a single continuous linear conductor 31 in the circumferential direction C of the stator core 11 four times. In the present embodiment, three sets of coils 21 having substantially the same shape as that shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 are arranged adjacent to each other in the radial direction R in the same slot 12. Therefore, for each of the two adjacent slots 12, the six coil side portions 22 are arranged in a line in the radial direction R in the slot 12.

  As shown in FIG. 3B, the stator core 11 has two U-phase slots 12u adjacent to each other, two V-phase slots 12v adjacent to each other, and two W-phase slots 12w adjacent to each other sequentially. It is formed repeatedly. Each of the coil side portions 22 of the U-phase coil 21u, V-phase coil 21v, and W-phase coil 21w having the shape shown in FIGS. 4 to 6 is sequentially shifted by two slots in the circumferential direction C. They are arranged in the slot 12u, the V-phase slot 12v, and the W-phase slot 12w.

2.2 Configuration of Bending Coil End Part Next, the configuration of the bending coil end part will be described with reference to FIGS.
Among the coils 21 of each phase, at least the other axial end side protruding from the stator core 11 in the axial direction L: the coil end portion 23 on the L1 side is bent and formed radially inward: R1 side, and different phases These coil end portions are bent coil end portions 24 arranged in the axial direction and the circumferential direction. As shown in FIG. 9, the bent coil end portion 24 is bent at the bent portion 34 toward the R1 side in the radial direction substantially perpendicular to the coil side portion 22. The coil end portion 23 of each phase constituting the bent coil end portion 24 is bent from the coil side portion 22 disposed in each slot 12 as shown in FIGS. A radial conductor portion 25 extending in the radial direction R, and a radial conductor extending in the circumferential direction C so as to connect between the pair of radial conductor portions 25 on the R1 side relative to the inner circumferential opening 13. Part 26.

  The linear conductor 31 constituting the radial conductor portion 25 is formed to extend from the coil side portion 22 in the axial direction L of the stator core 11 and then bend to the radially inward side: R1 side. As described above, since the six linear conductors 31 constituting the coil side portion 22 are arranged in a line in the radial direction R in the slot 12, the radial conductor portion 25 has six wires. The conductors 31 are aligned and arranged so as to be bent from the state substantially parallel to the axial direction L to the radially inward side: R1 side and to be substantially parallel to the radial direction R while maintaining the state of being aligned in a line. ing. Thereby, the radial direction conductor part 25 becomes the structure arrange | positioned in order in the axial direction L. Further, the radial conductor portion 25 extends inward in the radial direction R from at least the inner peripheral surface of the stator core 11. In the present embodiment, the portion of the linear conductor 31 constituting the bent coil end portion 24 that has the same position in the circumferential direction C as the coil side portion 22 is used as the radial conductor portion 25.

  The linear conductor 31 constituting the circumferential conductor portion 26 extends while bending in the circumferential direction C from the radial conductor portion 25 corresponding to one slot 12 toward the radial conductor portion 25 corresponding to the other slot 12. After being drawn out, it is formed so as to be bent radially outward: R2 side and connected to the radial conductor portion 25 corresponding to the other slot 12. As described above, since the radial conductor portion 25 extends at least inward in the radial direction R from the inner peripheral surface of the stator core 11, the circumferential conductor portion 26 is inward in the radial direction R from the inner peripheral surface of the stator core 11. Placed in.

This is a coil end portion 24.

2.2 (1) Bending coil end portion of V-phase coil As shown in FIGS. 5 and 8, when focusing on one set of bending coil end portions 24, the bending coil end portion 24 of the V-phase coil 21v is linear. An outer side portion 26a in which the conductor 31 is aligned adjacently in the circumferential direction and the radial direction on the axially outward side: L1 side, and a linear conductor 31 is the circumferential direction and diameter on the axially inward side: L2 side. It has an inner side portion 26b aligned adjacent to each other and a step portion 26c between the outer side portion 26a and the inner side portion 26b.
Specifically, the circumferential conductor portion 26 in the V-phase bent coil end portion 24 has a step portion 26 c that is bent in the axial direction L at an intermediate portion in the circumferential direction C. Further, the circumferential conductor portion 26 has an inner side portion 26b positioned on the one side in the circumferential direction C1 side and on the inner side in the axial direction L2 side with respect to the step portion 26c, and the other in the circumferential direction with respect to the step portion 26c.

That is, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 8, in the outer side portion 26a of the circumferential conductor portion 26 in the V-phase bent coil end portion 24, the four linear conductors 31 are axially outward: L1. In the inner side portion 26b, the four linear conductors 31 are aligned on the axially inner side: L2 side.

  More specifically, when the two linear conductors 31 of the V-phase coil 21v located on the radially outer side of the slot 12 on the R2 side are bent at the bent portion 34, they are positioned on the outer side of the axis L1 side. The other two linear conductors 31 of the V-phase coil 21v on the radially inner side of the slot 12 on the R1 side are positioned on the axially inner side: L2 side when bent at the bent portion 34. And in the outer side part 26a of the circumferential direction conductor part 26, the two linear conductors 31 located in the axial direction inner side: L2 side are two linear conductors of the axial direction outer side: L1 side.

Further, in the inner side portion 26b of the circumferential conductor portion 26, the two linear conductors 31 positioned on the outer side in the axial direction: L1 side are the two linear conductors on the inner side in the axial direction: L2 side. The outer circumferential side axial stepped portion 27 is formed so as to be aligned adjacent to the circumferential direction C and the radial direction R with respect to 31 and bent inward in the axial direction: L2.

2.2 (2) Bend coil end portion of U-phase coil As shown in FIGS. 4 and 8, in the circumferential conductor portion 26 in the U-phase bent coil end portion 24, four linear conductors 31 are arranged in the axial direction. Outer side: Align on the L1 side. Specifically, the U-phase bending coil end portion 24 is adjacent to the inner side portion 26b of the V-phase bending coil end portion 24 in the axially outward side: L1 side, and is bent in the V-phase. The coil end portion 24 is disposed adjacent to the outer side portion 26 a in the circumferential direction C.
Specifically, when the two linear conductors 31 of the U-phase coil 21u located on the radially outer side of the slot 12 on the R2 side are bent at the bent portion 34, they are positioned on the outer side of the axis L1 side. The other two linear conductors 31 of the U-phase coil 21u located on the radially inner side of the slot 12: R1 are positioned on the axially inner side: L2 side when bent at the bent portion 34. . In the bending coil end portion 24, the two linear conductors 31 positioned on the inner side in the axial direction: L2 side are circumferential with respect to the two linear conductors 31 on the outer side in the axial direction: L1 side. The outer peripheral side axial stepped portion 27 is formed so as to be aligned adjacent to C and the radial direction R while being bent toward the axially outward side: L1 side.

2.2 (3) Bend coil end portion of W-phase coil As shown in FIGS. 6 and 8, in the circumferential conductor portion 26 in the W-phase coil end portion 23, four linear conductors 31 are arranged in the axial direction. Side: Align on the L2 side. Specifically, the W-phase bending coil end portion 24 is adjacent to the outer side portion 26a of the V-phase bending coil end portion 24 in the axially inward side: L2 side and is bent in the V-phase. The coil end portion 24 is disposed adjacent to the inner side portion 26b in the circumferential direction.
Specifically, when the two linear conductors 31 of the W-phase coil 21w located on the radially outer side of the slot 12 on the R2 side are bent at the bent portion 34, they are positioned on the outer side of the axis L1 side. The other two linear conductors 31 of the W-phase coil 21w located on the radial inner side: R1 side of the slot 12 are positioned on the axial inner side: L2 side when bent at the bent portion 34. .

The outer peripheral side axial stepped portion 27 is formed so as to be aligned adjacent to C and the radial direction R while being bent toward the axially outward side: L1 side.

2.3 Configuration of Radial Conductor Portion Next, the configuration of the radial conductor portion 25 of the bent coil end portion 24 in each coil 21 will be described. As shown in FIG. 3B and FIG. 4, the radial conductor portion 25 includes a narrow recess 32 whose circumferential width W7 is narrower than the circumferential width W1 of the inner circumferential opening 13 of the slot 12. . The narrow recess 32 is provided at a specific portion in the radial direction R corresponding to the inner peripheral opening 13 of the slot 12 in the radial conductor portion 25. Note that the circumferential width of the portion other than the narrow recess 32 in the radial conductor portion 25 is equal to the circumferential width W5 of the linear conductor 31 constituting the coil 21, and therefore the circumferential direction of the inner circumferential opening 13 of the slot 12. It is formed wider than the width W1. That is, in the radial conductor portion 25, a narrow recess having a shape recessed with respect to a portion other than the position of the radial conductor portion 25 at a specific portion in the radial direction R corresponding to the inner peripheral opening portion 13 of the slot 12. 32 is formed.

  When viewed from the axial direction L, the narrow recess 32 has an outer shape corresponding to the outer shape of the protruding portion 16 provided at the radial inner side of the teeth 15 of the stator core 11: the end portion on the R1 side. Is formed. That is, in the radial conductor portion 25, a narrow recess 32 is formed by recessing only the vicinity of a specific portion corresponding to the inner peripheral opening 13 of the slot 12. At this time, the circumferential width W 7 of the narrow recess 32 is formed to be narrower than the circumferential width W 1 of the inner circumferential opening 13 of the slot 12. In this way, only in a specific portion corresponding to the inner peripheral opening 13 of the slot 12 in the radial conductor portion 25, the narrow recess 32 whose circumferential width W7 is narrower than the circumferential width W7 of the inner peripheral opening 13 is provided. Is formed. In addition, since only the predetermined position of the radial direction conductor part 25 is made into the narrow recessed part 32, the process site | part of the coil 21 becomes only the specific site | part corresponding to the inner peripheral opening part 13, and a process becomes easy.

  As described above, since the radial conductor portion 25 includes the narrow concave portion 32 having a shape corresponding to the outer shape of the protruding portion 16 at a specific portion corresponding to the inner peripheral opening portion 13 of the slot 12, the teeth of the stator core 11. 15 inward in the radial direction: the protrusion 16 provided at the end on the R1 side and the linear conductor 31 constituting the coil 21 are configured so as not to overlap when viewed from the axial direction L. Therefore, as in the present embodiment, a semi-open slot type stator core 11 and a coil 21 constituted by a linear conductor 31 having a circumferential width W5 substantially equal to the circumferential width W3 of the slot inside 14 of the stator core 11 are used. Even when the stator 2 is configured, the coil 21 is connected to the slot 12 by passing the narrow recess 32 through the inner peripheral opening 13 of the slot 12 included in the stator core 11. It can be inserted in the axial direction L from the side.

  Here, in the present embodiment, the narrow concave portion 32 is formed by compressing a portion extending in the radial direction R of the radial conductor portion 25 in the circumferential direction C and extending in the axial direction L. It is said that. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 9, the radial conductor portion 25 is compressed in the circumferential direction C and extended in the axial direction L by the extension protrusion 33. The extension protrusions 33 are arranged in the axial direction L. In the present embodiment, the extension protrusion 33 has a cross-sectional area perpendicular to the energization direction of the coil 21 in the extension protrusion 33 at a portion other than the extension protrusion 33 over the entire radial direction R. It is extended in the axial direction L while being compressed in the circumferential direction C so as to be substantially equal to the cross-sectional area of the cross section. Thereby, since the cross-sectional area of the cross section orthogonal to the energization direction is kept substantially constant over the entire coil 21, the electrical resistance value in the extension projection 33 is substantially equal to the electrical resistance value in the portion other than the extension projection 33. Can be equal. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of inconveniences such as locally increasing heat generation at the extension protrusion 33.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the extension protrusion 33 is formed by extending in the axial direction L, and portions of the extension protrusion 33 extending in the axial direction L are arranged side by side in the axial direction L. The portions of the extension protrusion 33 that have extended in the axial direction L are in contact with each other in the axial direction L, and are in contact with each other. As a result, as can be understood with reference to FIG. 4 to FIG. 6 and FIG. 9, the portions other than the extension projections 33 of the bending coil end 24 are adjacent to the axial direction L even without providing a spacer or the like. The axial distance D between the linear conductors 31 increases. Thereby, for example, when a refrigerant is caused to flow between the linear conductors 31 in order to cool the bending coil end portion 24, the refrigerant easily flows between the linear conductors 31 and heat exchange efficiency is increased. improves.

3. Assembling Method of Stator FIG. 10 is a perspective view for explaining a process of inserting coils of each phase into the stator core. As shown in the figure, the coil 21 is bent in a state where the extending protrusion 33 as the narrow recess 32 in the radial conductor portion 25 and the inner peripheral opening 13 of the slot 12 of the stator core 11 correspond to each other. Inserted in the axial direction L into the slot 12 from the 24 side.
Specifically, the coils 21 of each phase are formed in advance so that each coil side portion 22 has a wave shape that can be disposed in the corresponding slot 12. Thus, by forming the coils 21 of the respective phases in a predetermined shape in advance, the coils 21 can be easily inserted into the slots 12 in the axial direction L. At this time, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase coils 21 are combined to form one unit, and each coil side portion 22 corresponds to the corresponding slot 12. The unit is integrally inserted into the slot 12 in a state of being aligned so as to be disposed in the slot 12.

4). Configuration of Interphase Insulating Sheet FIG. 11A is a perspective view of the interphase insulating sheet 40A, and FIG. 11B is a plan view illustrating a bent state of the interphase insulating sheet 40A. FIG. 12 is a perspective view of the interphase insulating sheet 50. FIG. 13 is a circumferential sectional view of a stator schematically showing a state in which an interphase insulating sheet is provided between coils of each phase, and FIG. 14 is a state in which an interphase insulating sheet is provided between the coils of each phase. It is radial direction sectional drawing of the stator which shows.

  As shown in FIG. 11 (a), the interphase insulating sheet 40A has a U-phase and W-phase coil end portion 23 of the bent coil end portion 24 as a target phase coil end portion that is subject to interphase insulation. It is what is used. That is, the interphase insulating sheet 40 </ b> A is attached to the U-phase and W-phase coil end portions 23 (bending coil end portions 24) as the target phase coil end portions inside the pair of bending coil end portions 24.

The interphase insulating sheet 40A is formed by bending an annular sheet member S at a plurality of locations, and includes a plurality of insulating portions 41 arranged at predetermined intervals along the circumferential direction and two insulating portions 41 adjacent in the circumferential direction. And a connecting portion 42 for connecting the two. As the material of the annular sheet member S, a sheet formed of a material having high electrical insulation and heat resistance, such as a resin sheet or paper material, for example, a laminate of aramid fiber and polyethylene terephthalate can be used. . The insulating portion 41 includes a planar insulating portion 41a disposed so as to face the U-phase and W-phase coil end portions 23 as target phase coil end portions from the axial direction L, and both circumferential edges of the planar insulating portion 41a. And a side surface insulating portion 41b formed by bending in the axial direction L.
As shown in FIG. 11 (b), in the interphase insulating sheet 40A, the space between the connecting portion 42 and the side surface insulating portion 41b is bent on the first line B1 that extends radially from the center point of the annular sheet member S. Between the insulating part 41b and the planar insulating part 41a is bent on a second line B2 parallel to the first line B1. By bending in this way, the distance between the first line B1 and the second line, that is, the axial height of the interphase insulating sheet 40A shown in FIG. 11A becomes constant in the entire radial direction.

As shown in FIG. 13, when the interphase insulating sheet 40A is attached to the U-phase coil end portion 23 as the target phase coil end portion, the U-phase coil end portions disposed at predetermined intervals along the circumferential direction; Interphase insulation can be ensured between the V-phase and W-phase coil end portions 23 adjacent to the U-phase coil end portion 23 in the axial direction L. Specifically, the planar insulating portion 41a includes a V-phase coil end portion 23 and a W-phase coil end portion 23 in the U-phase coil end portion 23 ("coil end portions of different phases" in the present invention) and shafts. Cover the part facing the direction L.
The side insulating portion 41 b has a shape that covers a portion of the U-phase coil end portion 23 that faces the coil end portion 23 of the V-phase coil end portion 23 in the circumferential direction. In other words, the side insulating portion 41b covers the portion of the U-phase coil end portion 23 that faces the V-phase coil end portion 23 in the circumferential direction C, so that the U-phase coil end portion 23 is surrounded by the side insulating portion 41b. It is sandwiched from direction C. Accordingly, the relative movement in the circumferential direction C of the insulating portion 41 (that is, the planar insulating portion 41a and the side insulating portion 41b) with respect to the U-phase coil end portion 23 is prevented. Further, it is possible to reliably perform the interphase insulation at the side portion in the circumferential direction C of the U-phase coil end portion 23.

  As described above, when the U-phase coil end portion 23 is used as the target phase coil end portion, the planar insulating portion 41a covers the inner side in the axial direction: L2 side of the U-phase coil end portion 23, and is insulated from the side surface. The portion 41b covers at least a part of the side portion in the circumferential direction C of the U-phase coil end portion 23, and the connecting portion 42 is the axially outward side of the outer side portion 26a of the V-phase coil end portion 23: L1 It is arranged to pass through the side. As a result, insulation between the U-phase coil end portion 23 and the coil end portions 23 of different phases (V-phase and W-phase) adjacent in the axial direction is ensured.

  The same applies to the case where the W-phase coil end portion 23 is the target phase coil end portion. The planar insulating portion 41a covers the axially outward side of the W-phase coil end portion 23: the L1 side, and the side-surface insulating portion 41b It covers at least a part of the side portion in the circumferential direction C of the W-phase coil end portion 23, and the connecting portion 42 passes through the L2 side in the axial direction inward side portion 26 b of the V-phase coil end portion 23. Are arranged as follows. As a result, insulation between the W-phase coil end portion 23 and the coil end portions 23 of different phases (U-phase and V-phase) adjacent in the axial direction is ensured.

  The interphase insulating sheet 50 shown in FIG. 12 is provided between each set of the bent coil end portions 24. As described above, the extension protrusion 33 extending in the axial direction L is provided at a specific portion in the radial direction R of the radial conductor portion 25, and the plurality of coil end portions 23 constituting the plurality of sets of bending coil end portions 24. Are aligned in the axial direction L. The interphase insulating sheet 50 has an annular portion 51 whose outer peripheral diameter is smaller than that of the inner peripheral surface of the stator core 11, and partially protrudes radially outward from the annular portion 51 to the R2 side. And at least one protrusion 52 sandwiched by the set of extension protrusions 33. And as shown in FIG. 14, the protrusion part 52 of the phase insulation sheet 50 is clamped by the group of the extension protrusion part 33 adjacent to the axial direction L. As shown in FIG. As the material of the interphase insulating sheet 50, a sheet formed of a material having high electrical insulation and heat resistance such as a resin sheet or paper material, for example, a laminate of aramid fiber and polyethylene terephthalate can be used.

  Both the interphase insulating sheet 40 </ b> A and the interphase insulating sheet 50 have an outer peripheral diameter smaller than the inner peripheral surface of the stator core 11. Therefore, when the coil 21 of each phase is inserted and wound in the axial direction L with respect to the slot 12 with the bent coil end portion 24 as the head, the interphase insulating sheets 40a and 50 are inserted between the coil phases. It is possible to pass through the internal space of the stator core 11 in a state.

  15 to 18 are perspective views for explaining the arrangement state of the interphase insulating sheet between the coils of each phase. 15 to 18 are drawn so that it is easy to understand the positional relationship between the coils 21 of the respective phases and the interphase insulating sheets 40A and 50, and the coils of the respective phases are illustrated. Unlike the actual arrangement, some of the linear conductors are omitted.

  15 shows a state in which the interphase insulating sheet 50 is disposed on the axially outward side: L1 side of the pair of bent coil end portions 24, and FIG. 16 shows the axially outer side of the interphase insulating sheet 50. Side: A state where the W-phase coil 21w is arranged on the L1 side is shown. As illustrated, the protrusion 52 of the interphase insulating sheet 50 is sandwiched from the axial direction L by the extension protrusion 33. As a result, the positional displacement of the interphase insulating sheet 50 does not occur.

FIG. 17 shows a state in which the interphase insulating sheet 40A is arranged with the coil end portion 23 of the W-phase coil 21w as the target phase coil end portion. As shown in FIG. 17, since the W-phase coil end portion 23 as the target phase coil end portion is sandwiched from the circumferential direction by the side surface insulating portion 41b, the insulating portion 41 with respect to the W-phase coil end portion 23 extends in the circumferential direction. Relative movement is prevented. The W-phase coil end portion 23 is not sandwiched between the insulating portions 41 in the radial direction, but the plurality of insulating portions 41 are connected by the connecting portions 42 and can only move together in the same direction. The part 41 cannot move in the radial direction. Therefore, the relative movement of the interphase insulating sheet 40A in the radial direction with respect to the W-phase coil end portion 23 is also prevented.
Further, since the shape of the insulating portion 41 is formed in advance so as to cover one surface in the axial direction L and two surfaces in the circumferential direction C of the coil end portion 23 of the W phase, the interphase insulating sheet 40A is bent. Positioning when mounting on the end portion 24 becomes easy and mounting is possible in a stable state.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 18, the V-phase coil end portion 23 is disposed on the L1 side in the axially outward side of the interphase insulating sheet 40A having the W-phase coil end portion 23 as the target phase coil end portion. . Thereafter, the U-phase coil end portion 23 is arranged. At this time, the interphase insulating sheet 40A having the U-phase coil end portion 23 as the target phase coil end portion is arranged as shown in FIG. .

  As described above, by using the interphase insulating sheet 40A according to the present invention, insulation between the target phase coil end portion 23 facing and adjacent to the axial direction L and the coil end portion 23 of the different phase is ensured. . Moreover, since the side surface insulating portion 41b covers at least a part of the portion facing the coil end portion 23 of the different phase and the circumferential direction C in the target phase coil end portion 23, the target phase coil end portion 23 becomes the side surface insulating portion 41b. From the circumferential direction C. Accordingly, the relative movement in the circumferential direction C of the insulating portion 41 (that is, the planar insulating portion 41a and the side surface insulating portion 41b) with respect to the target phase coil end portion 23 is prevented. Here, when only the insulating portion 41 attached to one target phase coil end portion 23 is considered, the insulating portion 41 may move relative to the target phase coil end portion 23 in the radial direction R. . That is, if the plurality of insulating parts 41 are not connected to each other, each insulating part 41 may move in the radial direction R. However, according to the present invention, the insulating portions 41 are connected to each other by the connecting portions 42 and are only allowed to move in the same direction as a single unit, and therefore, the insulating portions 41 cannot move in the radial direction R. Therefore, relative movement in the radial direction R of the interphase insulating sheet 40A with respect to the target phase coil end portion 23 is also prevented.

Furthermore, the distance between the first line B1 and the second line B2 that are parallel to each other is the circumferential length of the side surface insulating portion 41b, that is, the height of the planar insulating portion 41a when the connecting portion 42 is used as a reference. Its height is uniform throughout the radial direction R. That is, when the planar insulating portion 41a covers one surface in the axial direction L of the target phase coil end portion and the side surface insulating portion 41b covers two surfaces in the circumferential direction C of the target phase coil end portion, the connection portion 42 is used as a reference. Since the height of the planar insulating portion 41a is the same everywhere, the stability of the insulating portion 41 (the planar insulating portion 41a and the side insulating portion 41b) to the target phase coil end portion is improved.
Furthermore, according to the present invention, the shape of the insulating portion 41 is formed in advance so as to cover one surface in the axial direction L and two surfaces in the circumferential direction C of the target phase coil end portion 23. Therefore, the positioning when the interphase insulating sheet 40A is mounted on the bending coil end portion 24 becomes easy and can be mounted in a stable state. In addition, since the interphase insulating sheet 40A does not cover the bending coil end portion 24 from the radial direction R, the refrigerant for cooling the bending coil end portion 24 easily passes from the radial direction R.

[Other Embodiments]
(1) In the above embodiment, the shape of the interphase insulating sheet 40A is exemplified, but the shape may be appropriately modified. 19 to 22 are perspective views of an interphase insulating sheet according to another embodiment.
FIG. 19 is a plan view for explaining a bent state of the interphase insulating sheet. In the above embodiment, the connection portion 42 and the side surface insulating portion 41b are bent on the first line B1 extending radially from the center point of the annular sheet member S, and the side surface insulating portion 41b and the planar insulating portion 41a are An example in which the space is bent on the second line B2 parallel to the first line B1 has been described. However, the first line B1 in which either one of the connecting portion 42 and the side surface insulating portion 41b or between the side surface insulating portion 41b and the planar insulating portion 41a extends radially from the center point of the annular sheet member S. It is sufficient if the other side is bent on the second line B2 parallel to the first line B1.
For example, like the interphase insulating sheet 40B shown in FIG. 19, the space between the side surface insulating portion 41b and the planar insulating portion 41a is bent and connected on the first line B1 extending radially from the center point of the annular sheet member S. You may comprise so that it may be bent on the 2nd line B2 parallel to the said 1st line B1 between the part 42 and the side surface insulation part 41b.

  FIG. 20 is an example in the case where a bending absorbing portion F that absorbs bending is formed in the planar insulating portion 41 of the annular sheet member S in the interphase insulating sheet 40C. For example, when the second line B2 between the planar insulating portion 41a and the side surface insulating portion 41b extends radially from the center point of the annular sheet member S, the length of the inner peripheral edge of the planar insulating portion 41a is c1, The length of the outer peripheral edge of the planar insulating portion 41a is c2a. On the other hand, in the interphase insulating sheet 40C illustrated in FIG. 20, as described above, the space between the coupling portion 42 and the side surface insulating portion 41b is on the first line B1 extending radially from the center point of the annular sheet member S. It is bent, and the side insulating portion 41b and the planar insulating portion 41a are bent on the second line B2 parallel to the first line B1. Therefore, although the length of the inner peripheral edge of the planar insulating part 41a is c1, the length of the outer peripheral edge of the planar insulating part 41a is c2b (> c2a). As a result, the length of the outer peripheral edge of the planar insulating portion 41a is longer than the original length: c2a by the length of (c2b-c2a). Then, due to the extra length, the planar insulating portion 41a can be bent.

  The bending absorbing portion F shown in FIG. 20 is provided to absorb the above-described bending. Specifically, the bending absorbing portion F is constituted by three folds B3, B4, and B5 along the radial direction. The fold line B3 is on a line extending radially from the center point of the annular sheet member S. The folds 4 and 5 are on a line extending radially from the intersection b3 between the fold B3 and the inner peripheral edge of the planar insulating portion 41a. For example, if the fold B3 is folded in a mountain, the fold B4 is folded in a valley, and the fold B5 is folded in a valley, the length of the outer peripheral edge of the planar insulating portion 41a is shortened. Thus, by providing the bending absorbing portion F, it is possible to prevent the planar insulating portion 41a from being bent.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14, the portion on the radial outer side: R2 side of the planar insulating portion 41a is arranged so as to cover the outer circumferential side axial step portion 27 of the target phase coil end portion. When the planar insulating portion 41a configured by a plane orthogonal to the axial direction L is arranged so as to cover the step in the axial direction L (outer peripheral side axial step 27), the absorption portion F having the above-described configuration is not provided. However, the bending which arose in the plane insulation part 41a can be eliminated. That is, since the bending generated in the planar insulating portion 41a can be eliminated in the planar insulating portion 41a, the influence of the bending does not affect the other side surface insulating portion 41b and the connecting portion 42.

FIG. 21 shows an example in which the interphase insulating sheet 40D is formed by connecting a plurality of arc-shaped strip-like members 46 having the same shape to each other in the connection portion 44 in the circumferential direction C to form an annular shape and bending at a plurality of locations. is there. The connection between the plurality of arc strip members 46 in the connecting portion 44 may be performed by bonding with an appropriate adhesive when the arc strip member 46 is a paper material, and appropriate when the arc strip member 46 is a resin material. Bonding or welding with an adhesive may be performed. It should be noted that members having different shapes may be included in the plurality of arc-shaped belt-like members 46.
By forming the interphase insulating sheet 40D with a plurality of members, even if a defect such as a defective shape occurs in some members, only the defective member becomes an unusable member, and other members are combined with another member. Can be used. Therefore, the yield of the interphase insulating sheet 40D as a whole can be improved.
21 shows an example in which the interphase insulating sheet 40D is formed by using the arc-shaped belt-like member 46 that is divided at the connecting portion 41. However, as shown in FIG. 22, the interphase insulating sheet 40E is formed. Can be formed by using the arc-shaped band-shaped member 47 divided by the plane insulating portion 41a.

Further, if the circumferential width W5 is formed wider than the circumferential width W1 of the inner circumferential opening 13, the linear conductor 31 is as if a plurality of conductors are a single conductor. It is also possible to use a conductor made of an aggregate that is configured by being assembled. For example, it is also possible to use a wire conductor or the like in which a plurality of conductors are gathered and formed integrally.
