20140265711 | SEGMENT COIL, STATOR INCLUDING SEGMENT COIL, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SEGMENT COIL - Segment coils arranged as aligned in slot portions of an annular core each include a straight portion and a pair of coil end portions, and have a tip end of the coil end portion of the pair of coil end portions as a tip end portion for joint including a joint surface for joint to another segment coil. The tip end portion for joint has the joint surface in parallel to a radial direction of the annular core when viewed in an axial direction of the annular core. | 09-18-2014 |
20140300236 | SEGMENT COIL, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SEGMENT COIL, AND STATOR INCLUDING SEGMENT COIL - Each of segment coils arranged as aligned in a slot of a stator core includes a coil central portion accommodated in the slot and two coil end portions protruding outward. The coil end portion of the two coil end portions includes a pair of coil pieces formed by inclining a coil at different angles toward the coil central portion with a vertex lying therebetween. Any one of the pair of coil pieces includes in a region in the vicinity of the vertex, a recessed step portion formed from two sides in non-parallel to and at an angle with respect to an end surface of the stator core. | 10-09-2014 |
20140300239 | SEGMENT COIL, METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SEGMENT COIL, WIRE ROD FOR SEGMENT COIL, AND STATOR - A segment coil capable of achieving effective prevention of magnetic flux leakage or eddy current and enhancing efficiency of a motor is provided. Segment coils in stator of a rotating electric machine including an annular core and rectangular wire coils in a plurality of layers, which are attached on an innermost circumferential side in a direction of radius of a slot formed in an inner circumferential portion of the annular core and are opposed to a rotor, are each constituted of a plurality of divided wires as divided in a circumferential direction of the annular core. The plurality of divided wires are integrally joined in coil end portions extending from the slot. | 10-09-2014 |
