Abstract

A stator includes: a stator core including teeth; pins including a working portion extending in an axial direction in a slot between the teeth; and bus bars electrically connected to the pins. In each slot, the working portions are disposed over stages in a radial direction. The pins include the two working portions across the teeth, first and second pins each including a connection portion connecting the working portion in a circumferential direction, and a third pin connected to the bus bar. The working portion of the second pin is disposed on one of the outermost and innermost stages of the slot, and the working portion of the third pin is disposed on one or the other of the outermost and innermost stages of the slot. A number of teeth straddled by the second pin is larger by two than a number of teeth straddled by the first pin.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A stator used in a motor, the stator comprising:
a stator core including an annular core back centered on a center axis and a plurality of teeth extending from the core back toward a radial inside;
a plurality of pins including a conductive working portion extending in an axial direction in a slot between the teeth; and
a plurality of bus bars electrically connected to the plurality of pins,
wherein in each of the slots, the working portions are disposed over a plurality of stages in a radial direction,
the plurality of pins include
a first pin including the two working portions disposed across the teeth,
a second pin including the two working portions disposed across the teeth, and
a third pin that includes the one working portion and is connected to the bus bar,
each of the first pin and the second pin includes
a crossing portion connecting the two working portions in a circumferential direction on one side in the axial direction, and
a connection portion connected to another pin on the other side in the axial direction of the working portion,
in the first pin, the two working portions are inserted into an identical stage or stages adjacent to each other in the radial direction,
each of the working portions of the second pin is disposed in one of an outermost stage and an innermost stage of the slot,
each of the working portions of the third pin is disposed in one or the other of the outermost stage and the innermost stage of the slot, and
a number of the teeth straddled by the second pin is larger by two than a number of the teeth straddled by the first pin.

2. The stator according to claim 1 , wherein
the number of the teeth straddled by the two working portions included in the first pin is smaller by one than the number obtained by dividing the number of the teeth by the number of poles of the stator, and
the number of the teeth straddled by the two working portions included in the second pin is larger by one than the number obtained by dividing the number of the teeth by the number of the poles of the stator.

3. The stator according to claim 1 , wherein
the number of the bus bars is four,
the number of the third pins is six, and
the bus bar includes
a neutral point bus bar connected to the three third pins,

4. The stator according to claim 1 , wherein
the number of the bus bars is four,
the number of the third pins is 12,
the bus bar includes
a neutral point bus bar connected to the six third pins,
a U-phase bus bar connected to the two third pins,
a V-phase bus bar connected to the two third pins, and
a W-phase bus bar connected to the two third pins.

5. The stator according to claim 3 , wherein
a plurality of the slots of the stator core include
a single-phase slot in which only one type of the working portion electrically connected to the U-phase bus bar, the working portion electrically connected to the V-phase bus bar, and the working portion electrically connected to the W-phase bus bar is disposed, and
a multi-phase slot in which any two types of the working portion electrically connected to the U-phase bus bar, the working portion electrically connected to the V-phase bus bar, and the working portion electrically connected to the W-phase bus bar are disposed, and
the single-phase slot and the multi-phase slot are alternately disposed in a circumferential direction.

6. The stator according to claim 3 , wherein
the third pin connected to the neutral point bus bar includes
a neutral point bus bar connection portion connected to the neutral point bus bar on one side in the circumferential direction of the working portion, and
a first inclination portion connecting the neutral point bus bar connection portion and the working portion,
the third pin connected to any one of the U-phase bus bar, the V-phase bus bar, and the W-phase bus bar includes
a phase bus bar connection portion connecting the working portion and any one of the U-phase bus bar, the V-phase bus bar, and the W-phase bus bar on the other circumferential direction side of the working portion, and
a second inclination portion connecting the phase bus bar connection portion and the working portion, and
at least a part of a plurality of the first inclination portions intersects at least a part of a plurality of the second inclination portions.

7. The stator according to claim 3 , wherein
the neutral point bus bar includes a neutral point connection portion electrically connected to the third pin,
each of the U-phase bus bar, the V-phase bus bar, and the W-phase bus bar includes a pin connection portion electrically connected to the third pin, and
