Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A unit coil includes: first, second, third, and fourth turn portions extending in a bent manner from first, second, third, and fourth slot accommodation portions and each connecting the slot accommodation portions to each other; and first, second, third, and fourth leg portions. Recesses are formed in surfaces opposed to each other at bent parts of the turn portions or bent parts of the turn portion and the leg portion, that extend in a bent manner toward the same side in the circumferential direction from the slot accommodation portions adjacent to each other in the radial direction.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A rotating electric machine comprising an armature and a rotor, the armature including an armature core and an armature winding formed by arranging a plurality of unit coils along a circumferential direction, wherein each unit coil includes: a plurality of slot accommodation portions located in different slots; a turn portion extending in a bent manner from each slot accommodation portion and connecting the slot accommodation portions to each other; and a leg portion extending in a bent manner from each slot accommodation portion, and the plurality of slot accommodation portions are stacked in a radial direction in the slots, and recesses dented in the radial direction are formed in surfaces only opposed to each other at bent parts of a pair of turn portions or bent parts of the turn portion and the leg portion of slot accommodation portions adjacent to each other in the radial direction, that extend in a bent manner toward the same side in the circumferential direction. 2. The rotating electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein each unit coil includes one partial coil and another partial coil that overlap each other in the radial direction, the one partial coil includes a first slot accommodation portion for a first layer on an inner side in the radial direction, and a fourth slot accommodation portion for a fourth layer on an outer side in the radial direction, the fourth slot accommodation portion being connected to the first slot accommodation portion via the turn portion, the other partial coil includes a second slot accommodation portion for a second layer and a third slot accommodation portion for a third layer, the third slot accommodation portion being connected to the second slot accommodation portion via the turn portion, a side to which the turn portion on the first slot accommodation portion side extends in a bent manner is the same as a side to which the turn portion on the second slot accommodation portion side extends in a bent manner, and the turn portion on the first slot accommodation portion side and the turn portion on the second slot accommodation portion side are adjacent to each other in the radial direction, a side to which the turn portion on the fourth slot accommodation portion side extends in a bent manner is the same as a side to which the turn portion on the third slot accommodation portion side extends in a bent manner, and the turn portion on the fourth slot accommodation portion side and the turn portion on the third slot accommodation portion side are adjacent to each other in the radial direction, recesses dented in the radial direction are formed in surfaces opposed to each other at bent parts of the turn portion on the first slot accommodation portion side and the turn portion on the second slot accommodation portion side, recesses dented in the radial direction are formed in surfaces opposed to each other at bent parts of the turn portion on the fourth slot accommodation portion side and the turn portion on the third slot accommodation portion side, a side to which the leg portion on the first slot accommodation portion side extends in a bent manner is the same as a side to which the leg portion on the second slot accommodation portion side extends in a bent manner, and the leg portion on the first slot accommodation portion side and the leg portion on the second slot accommodation portion side are adjacent to each other in the radial direction, a side to which the leg portion on the fourth slot accommodation portion side extends in a bent manner is the same as a side to which the leg portion on the third slot accommodation portion side extends in a bent manner, and the leg portion on the fourth slot accommodation portion side and the leg portion on the third slot accommodation portion side are adjacent to each other in the radial direction, recesses dented in the radial direction are formed in surfaces opposed to each other at bent parts of the leg portion on the first slot accommodation portion side and the leg portion on the second slot accommodation portion side, and recesses dented in the radial direction are formed in surfaces opposed to each other at bent parts of the leg portion on the fourth slot accommodation portion side and the leg portion on the third slot accommodation portion side. 3. The rotating electric machine according to claim 2 , wherein a width in the radial direction of the turn portion on the second slot accommodation portion side is smaller than a width in the radial direction of the second slot accommodation portion, and a width in the radial direction of the turn portion on the third slot accommodation portion side is smaller than a width in the radial direction of the third slot accommodation portion. 4. The rotating electric machine according to claim 2 , wherein the turn portion on the first slot accommodation portion side is positioned inward in the radial direction with respect to the first slot accommodation portion, the turn portion on the second slot accommodation portion side is positioned inward in the radial direction with respect to the second slot accommodation portion, the turn portion on the fourth slot accommodation portion side is positioned outward in the radial direction with respect to the fourth slot accommodation portion, and the turn portion on the third slot accommodation portion side is positioned outward in the radial direction with respect to the third slot accommodation portion. 5. The rotating electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein each unit coil includes a first slot accommodation portion for a first layer, a second slot accommodation portion for a second layer, a third slot accommodation portion for a third layer, a fourth slot accommodation portion for a fourth layer, a fifth slot accommodation portion for a fifth layer, and a sixth slot accommodation portion for a sixth layer, each slot accommodation portion of the first to sixth slot accommodation portions is connected via the turn portion to another slot accommodation portion for a layer one-layer upper than the slot accommodation portion, and the first slot accommodation portion and the sixth slot accommodation portion are connected to the respective leg portions, the first slot accommodation portion, the third slot accommodation portion, and the fifth slot accommodation portion are located at the same position in the circumferential direction, the second slot accommodation portion and the sixth slot accommodation portion are located at positions separated toward one side in the circumferential direction from the positions of the first and fifth slot accommodation portions by one magnetic pole pitch, and the fourth slot accommodation portion is located at a position separated toward another side in the circumferential direction from the position of the third slot accommodation portion by one magnetic pole pitch, at a wire-connection-side coil end where there are a first-slot-accommodation-portion-side leg portion extending from the first slot accommodation portion and a sixth-slot-accommodation-portion-side leg portion extending from the sixth slot accommodation portion, a recess is formed in each of radially outer side surfaces at a bent part of the first-slot-accommodation-portion-side leg portion and a bent part of the turn portion extending from the third slot accommodation portion, and radially inner surfaces at a bent part of the turn portion extending from the second slot accommodation portion and a bent part of the turn portion extending from the fourth slot accommodation portion, at a non-wire-connection-side coil end opposite to the wire-connection-side coil end in the axial direction, a recess is formed in each of radially outer side surfaces at a bent part of the turn portion extending from the second slo
