Abstract

A stator structure according to an embodiment includes a stator core having a plurality of teeth; insulators configured to cover the teeth; a coil wound around each of the teeth with the insulators interposed therebetween; and first and second coil covers configured to cover the coil, each of the first and second coil covers being formed in an annular shape. The insulators have respective flange parts configured to cover respective distal end portions of the teeth. Each of the first and second coil covers has a first peripheral wall. The first peripheral wall of the first coil cover and the flange part located on one side of the insulator are arranged to face each other with a space therebetween. The first peripheral wall of the second coil cover and the flange part located on the other side of the insulator are arranged to face each other with a space therebetween.

First claim

a coil wound around each of the teeth with the insulators interposed therebetween; and
first and second coil covers configured to cover the coil from both sides in the axial direction, each of the first and second coil covers being formed in an annular shape, wherein
the insulators have respective flange parts configured to cover respective distal end portions of the teeth from both sides in the axial direction,
each of the first and second coil covers has a first peripheral wall extending in the axial direction,
the first peripheral wall of the first coil cover and the flange part located on one side of the insulators in the axial direction are arranged to face each other with a space therebetween, and
the first peripheral wall of the second coil cover and the flange part located on the other side of the insulators in the axial direction are arranged to face each other with a space therebetween.

2. The stator structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the first peripheral wall of the first coil cover is arranged to face a stepped portion formed in the flange part located on one side of the insulators in the axial direction so as to form the space crooked between the first peripheral wall of the first coil cover and the stepped portion formed in the flange part located on one side of the insulators, and
the first peripheral wall of the second coil cover is arranged to face a stepped portion formed in the flange part located on the other side of the insulators in the axial direction so as to form the space crooked between the first peripheral wall of the second coil cover and the stepped portion formed in the flange part located on the other side of the insulators.

3. The stator structure according to claim 1 , wherein the insulators and the stator core are integrally formed with each other.

4. The stator structure according to claim 1 , wherein
the insulators include a first insulator and a second insulator,
a pin formed in the first insulator is inserted into a hole formed in the first coil cover, the first coil cover and the first insulator being connected with each other by way of the pin formed in the first insulator, and
a pin formed in the second insulator is inserted into a hole formed in the second coil cover, the second coil cover and the second insulator being connected with each other by way of the pin formed in the second insulator.

5. The stator structure according to claim 1 , wherein
a plurality of through holes are formed in the stator core so as to penetrate through two principal surfaces of the body part,
the first coil cover is provided with a second peripheral wall extending from outer periphery of the first coil cover in the axial direction, and a plurality of first engagement portions extending from the second peripheral wall extending from outer periphery of the first coil cover in the axial direction,

6. The stator structure according to claim 1 , wherein
each of the first coil cover and the second coil cover has a plurality of projection portions arranged in respective spaces formed between distal ends of the teeth, and
a distal end of each of the projection portions of the first coil cover and a distal end of each of the projection portions of the second coil cover have respective stepped portions facing each other.

7. The stator structure according to claim 1 , wherein ribs are formed in respective inner peripheral faces of the projection portions of the first coil cover and respective inner peripheral faces of the projection portions of the second coil cover.

8. The stator structure according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a terminal block part configured to extend from the insulators in the radial direction of the stator core;
a plurality of terminals provided to the terminal block part, an end of a winding that constitutes the coil being twined around each of the terminals; and
a terminal block cover part provided to the first coil cover, the terminal block cover part covering the terminal block part, wherein
the terminal block cover part has a plurality of separation members arranged inside the terminal block cover part, and
the terminals are housed in respective spaces formed by the separation members in a spaced-apart manner.

9. A resolver comprising:
a rotor; and
a stator structure that comprises
a stator core having a plurality of teeth extending from a body part of the stator core in a radial direction, the body part being formed in an annular shape;
