Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、モータ等に用いられ、巻線が巻回される複数のティース部を備えた回転電機のコアに関するものである。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
従来、回転機器であるモータ等におけるステータやロータ等は、巻線が巻回されるコアを有している。詳しくは、コアは、放射状に設けられる複数のティース部と各ティース部を径方向外側で連結する環状部とを備え、そのティース部に巻線が巻回されることになる。そして、このようなコアとしては、複数の積層部材が積層されて形成されるとともに、ティース部毎に環状部が分割されて複数の分割環状部が形成され、その分割環状部同士が連結部にて回動可能に連結されたものがある（例えば、特許文献１及び特許文献２参照）。
【０００３】
このようなコアでは、隣り合う分割環状部の少なくとも一箇所が非連結（連結部が形成されず）とされ、その非連結箇所が溶接等により固定される前において巻線を巻回する。即ち、連結部で連結された隣り合う分割環状部を回動させ、隣り合うティース部の先端部同士の間隔を広げた状態で、巻線を巻回することで、隣り合うティース部が邪魔になることなく、巻線を容易に巻回することができる。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
ところで、ティース部の先端部には周方向の両方に延びる突片が形成される。しかしながら、上記のようなコアでは、積層部材における突片に対応した部分（積層前突片）が全て同一形状とされ、突片における周方向両端部が、組み付けられる方向（積層される方向であって軸方向）に沿った直線形状とされていた。このようなコアでは突片が周方向に断続的となり、隣接する突片同士の間の隙間により、ロータ回転時等に磁気抵抗の急激な変化が発生しコギングトルクが大きくなるという問題があった。
【０００６】
本発明は、上記問題を解決するためになされたものであって、その目的は、複数の積層部材が積層されて形成される回転電機のコアにおいて、巻線の巻回を容易としながら、コギングトルクを低減することができる回転電機のコアを提供することにある。
【０００７】
【課題を解決するための手段】
請求項１に記載の発明は、複数の積層部材が積層されて形成され分割環状部と該分割環状部の略直交方向に延びるティース部とを有する分割コア部が、前記分割環状部の端部で互いに連結部にて回動可能に連結され、各前記分割環状部が環状の環状部を形成し且つ各前記ティース部が放射状に配設される回転電機のコアにおいて、前記ティース部の先端部には、周方向に延びる突片が設けられ、前記積層部材は、その前記突片と対応した積層前突片の突出量が異なる第１及び第２積層部材であって、前記分割コア部は、前記第１積層部材と前記第２積層部材とが交互に積層されて形成され、前記第１積層部材における前記積層前突片は、周方向の一方に他方より長く且つ肉薄に形成された第１長片を有し、前記第２積層部材における前記積層前突片は、周方向の他方に一方より長く且つ肉薄に形成された第２長片を有し、隣接する前記第１長片と前記第２長片は、それら２つの肉薄部が積層方向に隙間を有しつつ周方向にオーバーラップして入り組むよう配設された。
【０００９】
請求項２に記載の発明は、請求項１に記載の回転電機のコアにおいて、前記第１及び第２長片は、周方向先端部に向かうほど肉厚が薄くなるように形成された。
【００１０】

【００１１】
請求項４に記載の発明は、複数の第１コア片が周方向に配列されて第１積層部材を構成し、複数の第２コア片が周方向に配列されて第２積層部材を構成し、前記第１積層部材と前記第２積層部材とが交互に積層されるとともに、交互に積層された前記第１及び第２コア片にて形成される分割コア部が互いに連結部にて回動可能に連結された回転電機のコアであって、前記連結部は、前記第１コア片における周方向の一端部又は他端部においてその軸方向の一方の面に軸方向に向けて凹設される第１凹部と、その軸方向の他方の面であって前記第１凹部と同一軸線上に軸方向に向けて凸設される第１凸部と、前記第２コア片における周方向の他端部又は一端部においてその軸方向の一方の面に軸方向に向けて凹設される第２凹部と、その軸方向の他方の面であって前記第２凹部と同一軸線上に軸方向に向けて凸設される第２凸部とを有し、前記第１凸部が前記第２凹部に対して回動可能に嵌め合わされ、且つ前記第２凸部が前記第１凹部に対して回動可能に嵌め合わされることで、前記分割コア部を回動可能に連結し、前記軸方向に向けて凸設される前記第１及び第２凸部と前記軸方向に向けて凹設される前記第１及び第２凹部に、回動を所定位置にて規制する回動規制部を設けた。
【００１２】
請求項５に記載の発明は、請求項３又は４に記載の回転電機のコアにおいて、前記第１及び第２凹部は、軸方向から見て点対称に形成された一対の凹側円弧部と、隣り合う前記凹側円弧部の端部を連結するとともに該凹側円弧部の軸中心側に膨出し凹側閉回動規制部と凹側開回動規制部を形成する一対の膨出部とを有し、前記第１及び第２凸部は、一対の前記凹側円弧部に沿って形成されるとともに同凹側円弧部より短い弧状の一対の凸側円弧部と、閉方向の前記所定の位置で前記凹側閉回動規制部に当接される凸側閉回動規制部と、開方向の前記所定の位置で前記凹側開回動規制部に当接される凸側開回動規制部とを有し、前記凹側閉回動規制部と前記凹側開回動規制部と前記凸側閉回動規制部と前記凸側開回動規制部が前記回動規制部を構成する。
【００１４】
（作用）
請求項１に記載の発明によれば、突片からは周方向の一方に肉薄の第１長片が長く延び、周方向の他方に肉薄の第２長片が長く延びる。そして、隣接する第１長片と第２長片は、それら２つの肉薄部が積層方向に隙間を有しつつ周方向にオーバーラップして入り組むよう配設されるため、周方向の磁気抵抗の急激な変化が緩和され、このコアを用いた回転電機においてコギングトルクが低減される。しかも、積層部材を形成する際（例えば板材から打ち抜く際）に、積層部材単位で積層前突片の突出量を変更するだけなので、その製造作業が特に複雑になることはない。
【００１５】
請求項２に記載の発明によれば、第１及び第２長片は、周方向先端部に向かうほど肉厚が薄くなるように形成されるため、周方向の磁気抵抗の急激な変化が更に緩和され、このコアを用いた回転電機においてコギングトルクが更に低減される。
【００１６】
請求項３に記載の発明によれば、分割環状部毎に別体とされた複数の第１及び第２コア片における周方向端部に形成され、連結部を構成する第１及び第２凸部と第１及び第２凹部に、回動を所定位置にて規制する回動規制部が設けられる。よって、回動規制部をコア片同士の相対向する端面間、即ち凸部及び凹部の外側に設けた場合に比べて、第１及び第２コア片における周方向端部の径方向の幅を小さくすることができる。しかも、回動規制部をコア片同士の相対向する端面間に設けた場合では、巻回された巻線が回動時に回動規制部に挟み込まれて損傷する虞があるが、第１及び第２凸部と第１及び第２凹部に回動規制部を設けると、巻線が挟み込まれて損傷することは防止される。
【００１７】
請求項４に記載の発明によれば、複数の第１及び第２コア片における周方向端部に形成され、連結部を構成する第１及び第２凸部と第１及び第２凹部に、回動を所定位置にて規制する回動規制部が設けられる。よって、回動規制部をコア片同士の相対向する端面間、即ち凸部及び凹部の外側に設けた場合に比べて、第１及び第２コア片における周方向端部の径方向の幅を小さくすることができる。しかも、回動規制部をコア片同士の相対向する端面間に設けた場合では、巻回された巻線が回動時に回動規制部に挟み込まれて損傷する虞があるが、第１及び第２凸部と第１及び第２凹部に回動規制部を設けると、巻線が挟み込まれて損傷することは防止される。
【００１８】
請求項５に記載の発明によれば、対向配置される一対の膨出部に凹側閉回動規制部及び凹側開回動規制部がそれぞれ形成され、それらと凸側閉回動規制部及び凸側開回動規制部が当接することで所定の位置までで分割コア部同士の回動が規制される。このように、一対の凹側閉回動規制部又は一対の凹側開回動規制部に回動が規制されるので、簡単な形状としながら、高い剛性を得ることができる。
【００１９】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明を具体化した一実施の形態を図１及び図１０に従って説明する。図１に示すように、回転電機としてのブラシレスモータは、ステータ１と、ステータ１と対向配置されるマグネット（図示略）を有したロータ２（図中、一点鎖線で示す）とを備える。ステータ１は、略円筒状のハウジング３内に配設され巻線４が巻回されたコア５を備える。
【００２０】
コア５は、放射状に設けられ巻線４が巻回される複数のティース部６と、その各ティース部６を径方向外側で連結する環状部７と、各ティース部６の径方向内側端（先端）から周方向に延びる突片８とを備える。尚、本実施の形態では、ティース部６は、等角度（３０度）間隔に１２個形成されている。
【００２１】
コア５は、図２に示すように、第１積層部材としての複数の第１コア片１１と、第２積層部材としての複数の第２コア片１２が積層されて形成される。尚、本実施の形態では、第１及び第２積層部材（複数の第１及び第２コア片１１，１２）が積層部材を構成している。
【００２２】
第１コア片１１は、図３に示すように、弧状に延びる積層前分割環状部１１ａと、積層前分割環状部１１ａの中間部から略直交方向（前記弧状の軸中心方向）に延びる積層前ティース部１１ｂとを有する。
【００２３】
積層前ティース部１１ｂの先端部には、周方向に延びる積層前突片１１ｃが形成されている。第１コア片１１における積層前突片１１ｃは、周方向の一方（図３（ａ）中、右方）に形成された第１長片１１ｄと、周方向の他方（図３（ａ）中、左方）に形成された第１短片１１ｅとを有する。第１長片１１ｄは、第１短片１１ｅより長く、且つ、その長い部分が他の箇所より肉薄に（図２参照）形成されている。
【００２４】
又、積層前ティース部１１ｂには、板厚方向（軸方向）の一方（図３（ｂ）中、上方）に第１嵌合凹部１１ｆが形成され、且つ板厚方向の他方（図３（ｂ）中、下方）に第１嵌合凸部１１ｇが形成されている。第１嵌合凹部１１ｆと第１嵌合凸部１１ｇは、板厚方向に並んで形成されるとともに、その組が積層前ティース部１１ｂの延設方向に２つ並んで形成されている。
【００２５】
又、積層前分割環状部１１ａの周方向の他端部（図３中、左側端部）１１ｈには、板厚方向（軸方向）の一方（図３（ｂ）中、上方）に第１凹部１１ｊが形成され、且つ板厚方向の他方（図３（ｂ）中、下方）に第１凸部１１ｋが形成されている。これら第１凹部１１ｊと第１凸部１１ｋは、板厚方向に並んで（同一軸線上に）形成される。
【００２６】
詳しくは、積層前分割環状部１１ａにおいて、周方向の他端部（図３中、左側端部）１１ｈは、その他の部分の幅より大きい直径の円弧状に形成されている。尚、この他端部１１ｈの円弧は、前記積層前ティース部１１ｂと同方向（図３（ａ）中、下方向）に膨出する。そして、前記第１凹部１１ｊは、他端部１１ｈにおいてその円弧の軸中心に凹設されている。
【００２７】
第１凹部１１ｊは、図３（ａ）に示すように、軸方向から見て点対称に形成された一対の凹側円弧部１１ｍと、隣り合う前記凹側円弧部１１ｍの端部を連結するとともに該凹側円弧部１１ｍの軸中心側に膨出し凹側閉回動規制部１１ｎと凹側開回動規制部１１ｐを形成する一対の膨出部１１ｑとを有する。尚、前記点対称は、前記他端部１１ｈの円弧の軸中心を中心点としている。
【００２８】
第１凸部１１ｋは、前記第１凹部１１ｊの板厚方向の反対側（図３（ｂ）中、下側）に凸設されている。第１凸部１１ｋは、一対の前記凹側円弧部１１ｍ（後述する凹側円弧部１２ｍ）に沿って形成されるとともに同凹側円弧部１１ｍより短い弧状の一対の凸側円弧部１１ｒと、隣り合う前記凸側円弧部１１ｒの端部を直線状（平行）に連結する一対の平行部１１ｓとを有する。尚、前記第１凹部１１ｊの深さと、第１凸部１１ｋの突出量とは同じに設定されている。
【００２９】
又、積層前分割環状部１１ａにおいて、周方向の一端部（図３中、右側端部）１１ｔは、該積層前分割環状部１１ａを並べた際に、前記他端部１１ｈを避けるように凹円弧状に形成されている。
【００３０】
第２コア片１２は、図４に示すように、第１コア片１１と対称形状に形成されている。即ち、第２コア片１２は、弧状に延びる積層前分割環状部１２ａと、積層前分割環状部１２ａの中間部から略直交方向（前記弧状の軸中心方向）に延びる積層前ティース部１２ｂとを有する。
【００３１】
積層前ティース部１２ｂの先端部には、周方向に延びる積層前突片１２ｃが形成されている。第２コア片１２における積層前突片１２ｃは、周方向の他方（図４（ａ）中、左方）に形成された第２長片１２ｄと、周方向の一方（図４（ａ）中、右方）に形成された第２短片１２ｅとを有する。第２長片１２ｄは、第２短片１２ｅより長く、且つ、その長い部分が他の箇所より肉薄に（図２参照）形成されている。尚、前記第１及び第２長片１１ｄ，１２ｄは、第１及び第２コア片１１，１２を均一な板厚の板材より打ち抜いて形成する際（形成工程の際）、同時に肉薄に形成している。
【００３２】
又、積層前ティース部１２ｂには、板厚方向（軸方向）の一方（図４（ｂ）中、上方）に第２嵌合凹部１２ｆが形成され、且つ板厚方向の他方（図４（ｂ）中、下方）に第２嵌合凸部１２ｇが形成されている。第２嵌合凹部１２ｆと第２嵌合凸部１２ｇは、板厚方向に並んで形成されるとともに、その組が積層前ティース部１２ｂの延設方向に２つ並んで形成されている。
【００３３】
又、積層前分割環状部１２ａの周方向の一端部（図４中、右側端部）１２ｈには、板厚方向（軸方向）の一方（図４（ｂ）中、上方）に第２凹部１２ｊが形成され、且つ板厚方向の他方（図４（ｂ）中、下方）に第２凸部１２ｋが形成されている。これら第２凹部１２ｊと第２凸部１２ｋは、板厚方向に並んで（同一軸線上に）形成される。
【００３４】
詳しくは、積層前分割環状部１２ａにおいて、周方向の一端部（図４中、右側端部）１２ｈは、その他の部分の幅より大きい直径の円弧状に形成されている。尚、この一端部１２ｈの円弧は、前記積層前ティース部１２ｂと同方向（図４（ａ）中、下方向）に膨出する。そして、前記第２凹部１２ｊは、一端部１２ｈにおいてその円弧の軸中心に凹設されている。
【００３５】
第２凹部１２ｊは、図４（ａ）に示すように、軸方向から見て点対称に形成された一対の凹側円弧部１２ｍと、隣り合う前記凹側円弧部１２ｍの端部を連結するとともに該凹側円弧部１２ｍの軸中心側に膨出し凹側閉回動規制部１２ｎと凹側開回動規制部１２ｐを形成する一対の膨出部１２ｑとを有する。尚、前記点対称は、前記一端部１２ｈの円弧の軸中心を中心点としている。
【００３６】
第２凸部１２ｋは、前記第２凹部１２ｊの板厚方向の反対側（図４（ｂ）中、下側）に凸設されている。第２凸部１２ｋは、一対の前記凹側円弧部１２ｍ（前記凹側円弧部１１ｍ）に沿って形成されるとともに同凹側円弧部１２ｍより短い弧状の一対の凸側円弧部１２ｒと、隣り合う前記凸側円弧部１２ｒの端部を直線状（平行）に連結する一対の平行部１２ｓとを有する。尚、前記第２凹部１２ｊの深さと、第２凸部１２ｋの突出量とは同じに設定されている。
【００３７】
又、積層前分割環状部１２ａにおいて、周方向の他端部（図４中、左側端部）１２ｔは、該積層前分割環状部１２ａを並べた際に、前記一端部１２ｈを避けるように凹円弧状に形成されている。
【００３８】
又、第２コア片１２は、積層される際に最下段に配置される最下段第２コア片１２ｚ（図５参照）を含む。最下段第２コア片１２ｚは、第２コア片１２の第２嵌合凹部１２ｆ及び第２凹部１２ｊが板厚方向に貫通された孔とされている。即ち、最下段第２コア片１２ｚには、第２嵌合凸部１２ｇ及び第２凸部１２ｋが形成されていない。
【００３９】
そして、第１及び第２コア片１１，１２は、それぞれ積層前ティース部１１ｂ，１２ｂが平行となるように複数（本実施の形態では１２）個並んで配列され（図３〜図５参照）、最下段第２コア片１２ｚを最下段として、第１コア片１１と第２コア片１２とが交互に積層される（図９参照）。尚、本実施の形態では、第１コア片１１と第２コア片１２（最下段第２コア片１２ｚを含む）とがそれぞれ５段ずつ（即ち全部で１０段）積層される。又、複数（本実施の形態では１２）個並んで配列される第１及び第２コア片１１，１２において、端の第１及び第２コア片１１，１２から突出する前記他端部１１ｈ及び一端部１２ｈには、第１凹部１１ｊ及び第１凸部１１ｋと、第２凹部１２ｊ及び第２凸部１２ｋとが形成されていない（図９中、左側端部参照）。又、本実施の形態では、第１コア片１１と第２コア片１２（最下段第２コア片１２ｚ含む）とがそれぞれ５段ずつ（即ち全部で１０段）積層された１つの集合体（１２個並んで配置される内の１つ）が分割コア部２１を構成している。
【００４０】
即ち、図１０に示すように、第１嵌合凸部１１ｇが第２嵌合凹部１２ｆに圧入嵌合され、第２嵌合凸部１２ｇが第１嵌合凹部１１ｆに圧入嵌合されることで分割コア部２１が形成される。又、このとき、第１凸部１１ｋが、自身の分割コア部２１と隣り合う分割コア部２１における第２凹部１２ｊに嵌め合わされ、第２凸部１２ｋが、自身の分割コア部２１と隣り合う分割コア部２１における第１凹部１１ｊに嵌め合わされることで各分割コア部２１が連結される。尚、本実施の形態では第１及び第２凸部１１ｋ，１２ｋと第１及び第２凹部１１ｊ，１２ｊとが連結部を構成している。
【００４１】
隣り合う前記分割コア部２１は、前記連結部にて回動可能とされる。詳述すると、分割コア部２１は、図６、図７及び図９に示すように、前記積層前分割環状部１１ａ，１２ａよりなる分割環状部２１ａと、前記積層前ティース部１１ｂ，１２ｂよりなる前記ティース部６と、前記積層前突片１１ｃ，１２ｃよりなる前記突片８とを備える。そして、隣り合う前記分割コア部２１は、第１凸部１１ｋが第２凹部１２ｊに対して回動可能に嵌め合わされるとともに、第２凸部１２ｋが第１凹部１１ｊに対して回動可能に嵌め合わされることで、分割環状部２１ａの端部で互いに回動可能とされる。
【００４２】
ここで、隣り合う分割コア部２１（分割環状部２１ａ）は、凹側閉回動規制部１１ｎ，１２ｎと凹側開回動規制部１１ｐ，１２ｐと平行部１１ｓ，１２ｓとにより所定の位置までで回動が規制される。尚、本実施の形態では、凹側閉回動規制部１１ｎ，１２ｎと凹側開回動規制部１１ｐ，１２ｐと平行部１１ｓ，１２ｓとが回動規制部を構成している。
【００４３】
詳しくは、図６に示すように、前記分割環状部２１ａを閉方向（ティース部６の先端が近づく方向）に回動させたとき、分割環状部２１ａが環状（真円形状）の前記環状部７（図１参照）となった状態（閉状態）で、平行部１１ｓ，１２ｓが凹側閉回動規制部１１ｎ，１２ｎと当接してその回動が規制される。尚、図６では、第１コア片１１の第１凸部１１ｋにおける平行部１１ｓが第２コア片１２の第２凹部１２ｊにおける凹側閉回動規制部１２ｎと当接した様子を破線で示している。
【００４４】
又、図７に示すように、前記分割環状部２１ａを開方向（ティース部６の先端が遠のく方向）に回動させたとき、前記巻線４を巻回するための姿勢となった状態（開状態）で、平行部１１ｓ，１２ｓが凹側開回動規制部１１ｐ，１２ｐと当接してその回動が規制される。尚、図７では、第１コア片１１の第１凸部１１ｋにおける平行部１１ｓが第２コア片１２の第２凹部１２ｊにおける凹側開回動規制部１２ｐと当接した様子を破線で示している。
【００４５】
尚、本実施の形態では、平行部１１ｓ，１２ｓにおいて凹側閉回動規制部１１ｎ，１２ｎと当接される部分が凸側閉回動規制部を構成し、平行部１１ｓ，１２ｓにおいて凹側開回動規制部１１ｐ，１２ｐと当接される部分が凸側開回動規制部を構成している。
【００４６】
上記のように構成された複数の分割コア部２１におけるティース部６には、図７に示すように、隣り合うティース部６の先端部同士の間隔が広げられた状態（前記開状態）で、巻線４が巻回される（図８参照）。
【００４７】
そして、複数の分割コア部２１は、分割環状部２１ａが環状の前記環状部７となり且つティース部６が放射状に配設された状態（閉状態）とされる（図１参照）。そして、図１に示すように、複数（本実施の形態では１２）個周方向に並んで配列される分割コア部２１（第１及び第２コア片１１，１２）において連結部が形成されていない端部（溶接部２２）が溶接（例えばレーザー溶接）されることで、前記コア５が形成される。
【００４８】
ここで、上記のように構成されたコア５の突片８からは周方向の一方に肉薄の第１長片１１ｄが長く延び、周方向の他方に肉薄の第２長片１２ｄが長く延びる。そして、隣り合うティース部６において、隣接する第１長片１１ｄと第２長片１２ｄとは、図２に示すように、入り組んで（周方向にオーバーラップして）配設される。詳しくは、隣接する第１長片１１ｄの肉薄の部分と第２長片１２ｄの肉薄の部分とが軸方向に（若干の隙間を有して）並んで配設される。
【００４９】
次に、上記実施の形態の特徴的な作用効果を以下に記載する。
（１）上記のように構成された複数の分割コア部２１におけるティース部６には、図７に示すように、隣り合うティース部６の先端部同士の間隔が広げられた状態（前記開状態）で、巻線４が巻回される（図８参照）。よって、隣り合うティース部６が邪魔になることなく、巻線４を容易に巻回することができる。その結果、巻線４の占積率を高くすることができる。
【００５０】
しかも、ティース部６の先端部から周方向に延びる突片８と対応した第１及び第２コア片１１，１２における積層前突片１１ｃ，１２ｃの突出量は、第１及び第２コア片１１，１２で周方向に逆（第１長片１１ｄ側に第２短片１２ｅ、第１短片１１ｅ側に第２長片１２ｄが配置）とされる。よって、突片８からは周方向の一方に第１長片１１ｄが突出し、周方向の他方に第２長片１２ｄが突出する。これにより、周方向の磁気抵抗の急激な変化が緩和され、このコア５を用いたブラシレスモータにおいてコギングトルクが低減される。しかも、第１及び第２コア片１１，１２を形成する際（板材より打ち抜いて形成する形成工程の際）に、第１及び第２コア片１１，１２単位（毎）で積層前突片１１ｃ，１２ｃの突出量を変更するだけなので、その製造作業が特に複雑になることはない。
【００５１】
（２）突片８からは周方向の一方に肉薄の第１長片１１ｄが長く延び、周方向の他方に肉薄の第２長片１２ｄが長く延びる。そして、隣接する第１長片１１ｄと第２長片１２ｄとは、入り組んで（周方向にオーバーラップして）配設されるため、周方向の磁気抵抗の急激な変化が更に緩和され、このコア５を用いたブラシレスモータにおいてコギングトルクが更に低減される。尚、第１及び第２長片１１ｄ，１２ｄは、第１及び第２コア片１１，１２を均一な板厚の板材より打ち抜いて形成する際（形成工程の際）、同時に肉薄に形成されるため、その製造作業が複雑になることはなく容易に形成される。
【００５２】
（３）第１及び第２コア片１１，１２の周方向端部に形成され、連結部を構成する第１及び第２凸部１１ｋ，１２ｋと第１及び第２凹部１１ｊ，１２ｊには、所定の位置までで回動を規制する回動規制部（凹側閉回動規制部１１ｎ，１２ｎと凹側開回動規制部１１ｐ，１２ｐと平行部１１ｓ，１２ｓ）が設けられる。よって、例えば、前記閉方向に回動させたとき、環状部７の真円形状を容易に得ることができる。又、例えば、前記開方向に回動させたとき、巻線４を巻回するための一定の姿勢（図７参照）を容易に得ることができる。
【００５３】
ここで、従来技術（前記特許文献１（図３０参照））には、「コア片同士の相対向する端面間に回動を規制する規制手段」を設けたものがある。しかしながら、上記従来技術では、規制手段が連結用の凸部及び凹部の外側であるコア片同士の相対向する端面間に形成されるので、所定の強度を得るためには該部分における径方向の幅が大きくなるという問題がある。又、規制手段がコア片同士の相対向する端面間に形成されるので、巻線を巻回した後に閉回動させるときに規制手段（規制片）が巻線を挟み込む虞があり、該巻線が損傷する虞がある。
【００５４】
これに比べて、本実施の形態では、第１及び第２凸部１１ｋ，１２ｋと第１及び第２凹部１１ｊ，１２ｊに回動規制部が設けられるため、所定の強度を得ながら、第１及び第２コア片１１，１２における周方向端部の径方向の幅を小さくすることができる。しかも、巻線４が回動規制部に挟み込まれることは防止され、該巻線４が損傷することは防止される。
【００５５】
（４）第１及び第２凹部１１ｊ，１２ｊに対向配置された一対の膨出部１１ｑ，１２ｑに形成された凹側閉回動規制部１１ｎ，１２ｎ及び凹側開回動規制部１１ｐ，１２ｐと、第１及び第２凸部１１ｋ，１２ｋに形成された平行部１１ｓ，１２ｓが当接することで所定の位置までで分割コア部２１同士の回動が規制される。このように、同時に一対の凹側閉回動規制部１１ｎ，１２ｎ又は一対の凹側開回動規制部１１ｐ，１２ｐ（即ち２つの規制面）にて回動が規制されるので、一対の膨出部１１ｑ，１２ｑを形成しただけの簡単な形状としながら、高い剛性を得ることができる（即ち、変形し難くなる）。又、凹側閉回動規制部１１ｎ，１２ｎと当接される凸側閉回動規制部と、凹側開回動規制部１１ｐ，１２ｐと当接される凸側開回動規制部とが一対の平行部１１ｓ，１２ｓにて構成されるため、第１及び第２凸部１１ｋ，１２ｋにおいても簡単な形状となる。
【００５６】

【００５９】
このようにしても、上記実施の形態の効果と同様の効果を得ることができる。しかも、第１及び第２長片３１ａ，３２ａは、周方向先端部に向かうほど連続的に肉厚が薄くなるように形成されるため、周方向の磁気抵抗の急激な変化が更に緩和され、このコアを用いたブラシレスモータにおいてコギングトルクが更に低減される。尚、勿論、第１及び第２長片３１ａ，３２ａを、周方向先端部に向かうほど段階的（例えば、２段階や３段階）に肉厚が薄くなるように形成してもよい。

【００６５】
そして、複数の分割コア部２１は、分割環状部２１ａが環状の前記環状部７となり且つティース部６が放射状に配設された状態（閉状態）とされる（図１２参照）。そして、図１２に示すように、複数（本実施の形態では１２）個周方向に並んで配列される分割コア部２１（第１及び第２コア片１１，１２）において連結部が形成されていない端部（溶接部２２）が溶接（例えばレーザー溶接）されることで、コア４３が形成される。尚、上記のように構成されたコア４３の突片４４における周方向両端部は、上記実施の形態とは異なり、積層方向（軸方向）に沿った直線形状とされる（図１９（ｂ）、（ｃ）参照）。
【００６６】
このようにしても、上記実施の形態の効果（３）、（４）と同様の効果を得ることができる。
・上記実施の形態の第１及び第２凸部１１ｋ，１２ｋの平行部１１ｓ，１２ｓは、同様の機能（凸側閉回動規制部及び凸側開回動規制部）を有するように、その形状を変更してもよい。

Specifically, in the divided annular portion 12a before lamination, one end portion (right end portion in FIG. 4) in the circumferential direction is formed in an arc shape having a diameter larger than the width of the other portion. The arc of the one end portion 12h bulges in the same direction as the pre-lamination tooth portion 12b (downward in FIG. 4A). The second recess 12j is recessed at the center of the arc of the arc at one end 12h.
[0035]
As shown in FIG. 4A, the second recess 12j connects a pair of concave arcuate portions 12m formed point-symmetrically when viewed from the axial direction and the ends of the adjacent concave arcuate portions 12m. A pair of bulging portions 12q forming a bulging concave side closing rotation restricting portion 12n and a concave side opening rotation restricting portion 12p is formed on the axial center side of the concave arc portion 12m.

The second convex portion 12k is formed along the pair of concave arc portions 12m (the concave arc portion 11m) and adjacent to the arc-shaped pair of convex arc portions 12r shorter than the concave arc portion 12m. It has a pair of parallel parts 12s which connect the end part of the above-mentioned convex side circular arc part 12r linearly (parallel). The depth of the second concave portion 12j and the protruding amount of the second convex portion 12k are set to be the same.
[0037]

[0038]
Further, the second core piece 12 includes a lowermost second core piece 12z (see FIG. 5) disposed at the lowermost stage when stacked. The lowermost second core piece 12z is a hole in which the second fitting recess 12f and the second recess 12j of the second core piece 12 are penetrated in the plate thickness direction. That is, the second fitting convex portion 12g and the second convex portion 12k are not formed on the lowermost second core piece 12z.
[0039]
The first and second core pieces 11 and 12 are arranged in a plurality (12 in the present embodiment) side by side so that the pre-lamination teeth portions 11b and 12b are parallel to each other (see FIGS. 3 to 5). The first core pieces 11 and the second core pieces 12 are alternately stacked with the lowermost second core piece 12z as the lowermost stage (see FIG. 9). In the present embodiment, the first core piece 11 and the second core piece 12 (including the lowermost second core piece 12z) are each laminated in five stages (that is, a total of ten stages). Further, in the first and second core pieces 11 and 12 arranged in a plurality (12 in the present embodiment), the other end portion 11h protruding from the first and second core pieces 11 and 12 at the ends and In the one end portion 12h, the first concave portion 11j and the first convex portion 11k, and the second concave portion 12j and the second convex portion 12k are not formed (see the left end portion in FIG. 9). In the present embodiment, the first core piece 11 and the second core piece 12 (including the lowermost second core piece 12z) are each laminated in five stages (that is, a total of 10 stages) One of the twelve pieces arranged side by side constitutes the split core portion 21.
[0040]
That is, as shown in FIG. 10, the first fitting convex portion 11g is press-fitted into the second fitting concave portion 12f, and the second fitting convex portion 12g is press-fitted into the first fitting concave portion 11f. Thus, the split core portion 21 is formed.

In the present embodiment, the first and second convex portions 11k and 12k and the first and second concave portions 11j and 12j constitute a connecting portion.
[0041]
The adjacent divided core portions 21 are rotatable at the connecting portion. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 6, 7 and 9, the split core portion 21 includes a split annular portion 21 a made up of the pre-stacked split annular portions 11 a and 12 a and the pre-stacked teeth portions 11 b and 12 b. The teeth portion 6 and the protrusion 8 including the protrusions 11c and 12c before lamination are provided. The adjacent divided core portions 21 are fitted so that the first convex portion 11k is turnable with respect to the second concave portion 12j, and the second convex portion 12k is rotatable with respect to the first concave portion 11j. By being fitted together, it is possible to turn each other at the end of the divided annular portion 21a.
[0042]
Here, the adjacent divided core portions 21 (divided annular portions 21a) are brought to a predetermined position by the concave side closing rotation restricting portions 11n and 12n, the concave side opening rotation restricting portions 11p and 12p, and the parallel portions 11s and 12s. The rotation is restricted by. In the present embodiment, the concave side closing rotation restricting portions 11n, 12n, the concave side opening turning restricting portions 11p, 12p, and the parallel portions 11s, 12s constitute a rotation restricting portion.
[0043]
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, when the divided annular portion 21 a is rotated in the closing direction (direction in which the tip of the tooth portion 6 approaches), the annular portion 21 a is annular (perfectly circular). 7 (see FIG. 1), the parallel portions 11s and 12s come into contact with the concave-side closed rotation restricting portions 11n and 12n to restrict the rotation thereof. In FIG. 6, a broken line indicates that the parallel part 11 s of the first convex part 11 k of the first core piece 11 is in contact with the concave side closing rotation restricting part 12 n of the second concave part 12 j of the second core piece 12. ing.
[0044]
Further, as shown in FIG. 7, when the divided annular portion 21a is rotated in the opening direction (the direction in which the tip of the tooth portion 6 is far away), it is in a state in which it is in a posture for winding the winding 4 ( In the open state), the parallel portions 11s and 12s come into contact with the concave-side opening rotation restricting portions 11p and 12p, and the rotation is restricted. In FIG. 7, a broken line indicates that the parallel portion 11 s of the first convex portion 11 k of the first core piece 11 is in contact with the concave opening rotation restricting portion 12 p of the second concave portion 12 j of the second core piece 12. ing.
[0045]
In the present embodiment, the portions of the parallel portions 11s and 12s that are in contact with the concave side closing / turning restricting portions 11n and 12n constitute the convex side closing and turning restricting portion, and the parallel portions 11s and 12s have the concave side. The portion in contact with the opening rotation restricting portions 11p and 12p constitutes a convex opening rotation restricting portion.
[0046]
In the teeth part 6 in the plurality of divided core parts 21 configured as described above, as shown in FIG. 7, the distance between the tips of adjacent teeth parts 6 is widened (the open state). The winding 4 is wound (see FIG. 8).
[0047]
The plurality of divided core portions 21 are in a state (closed state) in which the divided annular portion 21a becomes the annular annular portion 7 and the teeth portions 6 are radially arranged (see FIG. 1). And as shown in FIG. 1, the connection part is formed in the division | segmentation core part 21 (1st and 2nd core piece 11 and 12) arranged side by side by a plurality (12 in this Embodiment) piece circumferential direction. The core 5 is formed by welding (for example, laser welding) the end (the welded portion 22) that is not present.
[0048]
Here, from the protruding piece 8 of the core 5 configured as described above, the thin first long piece 11d extends long in one of the circumferential directions, and the thin second long piece 12d extends long in the other of the circumferential directions. And in the adjacent teeth part 6, the adjacent 1st long piece 11d and 2nd long piece 12d are arrange | positioned complicatedly (overlapping in the circumferential direction), as shown in FIG. Specifically, the thin portion of the adjacent first long piece 11d and the thin portion of the second long piece 12d are arranged side by side in the axial direction (with a slight gap).
[0049]
Next, characteristic effects of the above embodiment will be described below.
(1) As shown in FIG. 7, the teeth 6 in the plurality of divided cores 21 configured as described above have a state in which the distance between the tips of adjacent teeth 6 is widened (the open state). ), The winding 4 is wound (see FIG. 8). Therefore, the winding 4 can be easily wound without the adjacent teeth portions 6 getting in the way. As a result, the space factor of the winding 4 can be increased.
[0050]
In addition, the amount of protrusion of the pre-lamination protrusions 11c and 12c in the first and second core pieces 11 and 12 corresponding to the protrusions 8 extending in the circumferential direction from the tip of the tooth portion 6 is the first and second core pieces 11. 12 are reversed in the circumferential direction (the second short piece 12e is disposed on the first long piece 11d side and the second long piece 12d is disposed on the first short piece 11e side). Therefore, the first long piece 11d protrudes from the protruding piece 8 in one circumferential direction, and the second long piece 12d protrudes from the other circumferential direction. Thereby, a sudden change in the magnetic resistance in the circumferential direction is alleviated, and the cogging torque is reduced in the brushless motor using the core 5. In addition, when the first and second core pieces 11 and 12 are formed (during the forming process by punching from the plate material), the first and second core pieces 11 and 12 are formed in units (each) before the stacking protrusion piece 11c. , 12c is only changed, so that the manufacturing operation is not particularly complicated.
[0051]
(2) From the projecting piece 8, the thin first long piece 11d extends in one side in the circumferential direction, and the thin second long piece 12d extends in the other side in the circumferential direction. Since the adjacent first long piece 11d and the second long piece 12d are arranged in an intricate manner (overlapping in the circumferential direction), the sudden change in the magnetic resistance in the circumferential direction is further alleviated. In the brushless motor using the core 5, the cogging torque is further reduced. The first and second long pieces 11d and 12d are formed thin at the same time when the first and second core pieces 11 and 12 are formed by stamping from a plate material having a uniform plate thickness (during the forming step). Therefore, the manufacturing operation does not become complicated and is easily formed.
[0052]
(3) The first and second convex portions 11k and 12k and the first and second concave portions 11j and 12j that are formed at the circumferential ends of the first and second core pieces 11 and 12 and constitute the connecting portion include Rotation restricting portions (recessed closing rotation restricting portions 11n, 12n and concave side opening turn restricting portions 11p, 12p and parallel portions 11s, 12s) for restricting the rotation up to a predetermined position are provided. Therefore, for example, when it is rotated in the closing direction, the perfect circular shape of the annular portion 7 can be easily obtained. Further, for example, when the winding 4 is rotated in the opening direction, a certain posture (see FIG. 7) for winding the winding 4 can be easily obtained.
[0053]
Here, in the prior art (the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 (see FIG. 30)), there is one provided with “a regulating means for regulating the rotation between the opposing end surfaces of the core pieces”. However, in the above prior art, the restricting means is formed between the opposing end surfaces of the core pieces that are outside of the connecting convex portion and the concave portion. There is a problem that the width becomes large. Further, since the regulating means is formed between the opposing end surfaces of the core pieces, the regulating means (regulating piece) may pinch the winding when the winding is wound and then closed. There is a risk of damage to the wire.
[0054]
Compared to this, in the present embodiment, the first and second convex portions 11k, 12k and the first and second concave portions 11j, 12j are provided with the rotation restricting portions, so that the first strength is obtained while obtaining a predetermined strength. And the width | variety of the radial direction of the circumferential direction edge part in the 2nd core pieces 11 and 12 can be made small. In addition, the winding 4 is prevented from being caught in the rotation restricting portion, and the winding 4 is prevented from being damaged.
[0055]
(4) Concave side closing rotation restricting portions 11n, 12n and concave side opening rotation restricting portions 11p, 12p formed in a pair of bulging portions 11q, 12q arranged opposite to the first and second concave portions 11j, 12j. When the parallel portions 11s and 12s formed on the first and second convex portions 11k and 12k come into contact with each other, the rotation of the divided core portions 21 is restricted up to a predetermined position. As described above, since the rotation is restricted by the pair of concave side closing rotation restricting portions 11n, 12n or the pair of concave side opening turning restricting portions 11p, 12p (that is, two restricting surfaces), High rigidity can be obtained (i.e., deformation is difficult) while the shape is simple such that the protruding portions 11q and 12q are formed. In addition, a convex side closing rotation restricting portion that comes into contact with the concave side closing turn restricting portions 11n and 12n and a convex side opening and turning restricting portion that comes into contact with the concave side opening and turning restricting portions 11p and 12p are provided. Since it consists of a pair of parallel parts 11s and 12s, it becomes a simple shape also in the 1st and 2nd convex parts 11k and 12k.
[0056]
The above embodiment may be modified as follows.
The protrusions 8 (pre-lamination protrusions 11c, 12c) in the core 5 of the above embodiment have at least two types of protrusion amounts of the pre-lamination protrusions in units of the first and second core pieces (lamination members). If necessary, it may be changed to another shape. For example, the first long piece 11d and the second long piece 12d may be set so as not to be intricate (for example, the end portions thereof are arranged in a straight line in the axial direction). Even if it does in this way, the effect similar to the effect (1) of the said embodiment can be acquired.
[0057]
Further, for example, the pre-stacking projecting pieces 11c and 12c of the projecting piece 8 may be changed to the pre-stacking projecting pieces 31 and 32 shown in FIG. In this example, since only the portions of the pre-lamination projection pieces 11c and 12c in the first and second core pieces 11 and 12 of the above embodiment are different, only the changed portions are described with new reference numerals. To do.
[0058]
As shown in FIG. 11, the first and second long pieces 31a, 32a and the first and second short pieces 31b, 32b of the first and second core pieces 11, 12 in the pre-stacking protruding pieces 31, 32 are as described above. The first and second long pieces 11d and 12d and the first and second short pieces 11e and 12e are formed in the same direction in the same direction. In the first and second long pieces 31a and 32a in this example, the portions longer than the first and second short pieces 31b and 32b are formed so that the thickness continuously decreases toward the tip in the circumferential direction. Yes.
[0059]
Even if it does in this way, the effect similar to the effect of the said embodiment can be acquired. Moreover, since the first and second long pieces 31a and 32a are formed so that the thickness continuously decreases toward the distal end portion in the circumferential direction, the sudden change in the magnetic resistance in the circumferential direction is further alleviated, In the brushless motor using this core, the cogging torque is further reduced. Of course, the first and second long pieces 31a and 32a may be formed so that the thickness is gradually reduced toward the distal end portion in the circumferential direction (for example, in two steps or three steps).
[0060]
In the above embodiment, the first and second core pieces 11 and 12 (laminated members) have different protruding amounts of the protrusion pieces 11c and 12c before lamination (the second short piece 12e and the first short piece on the first long piece 11d side). Although the second long piece 12d is disposed on the 11e side), the first and second core pieces (laminated members) may have the same pre-lamination projecting piece.
[0061]
That is, you may change as shown in FIGS. In this example, since only the portions of the pre-lamination projection pieces 11c and 12c in the first and second core pieces 11 and 12 of the above embodiment are different, only the changed portions are described with new reference numerals. To do.

The winding 4 is wound in a state in which the distance between the tip portions is widened (the open state) (see FIG. 9).
[0065]
The plurality of split core portions 21 are in a state (closed state) in which the split annular portion 21a becomes the annular annular portion 7 and the teeth portions 6 are radially arranged (see FIG. 12). And as shown in FIG. 12, the connection part is formed in the division | segmentation core part 21 (1st and 2nd core piece 11 and 12) arranged in order by plural (12 in this Embodiment) circumferential direction. The core 43 is formed by welding (for example, laser welding) the end portion (the weld portion 22) that is not present. In addition, unlike the said embodiment, the circumferential direction both ends of the protrusion 44 of the core 43 comprised as mentioned above are made into the linear shape along a lamination direction (axial direction) (FIG.19 (b)). (See (c)).
