Abstract

A wound core equipped with a laminated body including plural electrical steel sheets stacked in a ring shape in side view. The laminated body includes plural bent portions, and plural block-shaped portions at positions between adjacent bent portions. At least one bent portion among the plural bent portions is a high stacking factor bent portion, wherein a stacking factor of the electrical steel sheets at the high stacking bent portion is higher than an average stacking factor of the steel sheets at the plural block-shaped portions.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A wound core comprising:
a laminated body including a plurality of electrical steel sheets stacked in a ring shape in side view, wherein:
the laminated body includes a plurality of bent portions, and a plurality of block-shaped portions at positions between adjacent bent portions; and
at least one bent portion among the plurality of bent portions is a high stacking factor bent portion, wherein a stacking factor of the electrical steel sheets at the high stacking bent portion is higher than an average stacking factor of the electrical steel sheets at the plurality of block-shaped portions,
wherein an average stacking factor A of the electrical steel sheets at the plurality of bent portions is (B−4.0) % or greater, wherein B is an average stacking factor (%) of the electrical steel sheets at the plurality of block-shaped portions.

2. The wound core of claim 1 , further comprising a compression means configured to compress the plurality of electrical steel sheets at the high stacking factor bent portion in a stacking direction of the electrical steel sheets.

3. The wound core of claim 2 , wherein the compression means includes:
a first fixture disposed at an outer peripheral side of the high stacking factor bent portion and configured to abut the high stacking factor bent portion;
a second fixture disposed at an inner peripheral side of the high stacking factor bent portion and configured to abut the high stacking factor bent portion; and
a coupling part configured to couple the first fixture and the second fixture together,
wherein the first fixture and the second fixture receive constraining force from the coupling part, and the plurality of electrical steel sheets at the high stacking factor bent portion are compressed in the electrical steel sheet stacking direction.

4. The wound core of claim 3 , wherein the first fixture and the second fixture are formed by a non-magnetic material, or the coupling part is formed by a non-magnetic material.

5. The wound core of claim 2 , wherein:
the wound core includes a pair of facing bent portions that face each other across a center of the laminated body, in side view;
the facing bent portions are each high stacking factor bent portions; and
the compression means includes a compression member configured to compress the facing bent portions across the center of the laminated body in side view.

6. A wound core comprising:
a laminated body including a plurality of electrical steel sheets stacked in a ring shape in side view; and
a compression means, wherein:
the laminated body includes a plurality of bent portions, and a plurality of block-shaped portions at positions between adjacent bent portions,
at least one bent portion among the plurality of bent portions is a high stacking factor bent portion, a stacking factor of the electrical steel sheets at the high stacking bent portion being higher than an average stacking factor of the electrical steel sheets at the plurality of block-shaped portions,
the compression means is configured to compress the plurality of electrical steel sheets at the high stacking factor bent portion in a stacking direction of the electrical steel sheets,
the wound core includes a pair of facing bent portions that face each other across a center of the laminated body, in side view,
the facing bent portions are each high stacking factor bent portions,
the compression means includes a compression member configured to compress the facing bent portions across the center of the laminated body in side view, and
the compression member is a rod-shaped beam capable of extension-contraction adjustment that is disposed at an inner side of the laminated body and on a straight line connecting internal corner portions of the respective high stacking factor bent portions facing each other in side view, and, in an extended state, the compression member compresses the plurality of electrical steel sheets at the facing high stacking factor bent portions in the electrical steel sheet stacking direction.

7. The wound core of claim 5 , wherein the compression member is formed by a non-magnetic material.

8. The wound core of claim 1 , wherein the high stacking factor bent portion is compressed at a pressure of from 0.2 MPa to 4.0 MPa.

9. A wound core comprising:
a laminated body including a plurality of electrical steel sheets stacked in a ring shape in side view, wherein:
the laminated body includes a plurality of bent portions, and a plurality of block-shaped portions at positions between adjacent bent portions,
at least one bent portion among the plurality of bent portions is a high stacking factor bent portion, a stacking factor of the electrical steel sheets at the high stacking bent portion being higher than an average stacking factor of the electrical steel sheets at the plurality of block-shaped portions, and
a stacking factor C of the electrical steel sheets at the high stacking factor bent portion is from B % to (B+1) %, wherein B is an average stacking factor (%) of the electrical steel sheets at the plurality of block-shaped portions.

10. The wound core of claim 1 , wherein all of the bent portions are high stacking factor bent portions.

11. The wound core of claim 1 , wherein a shape of the laminated body when viewed from a side face is an octagonal including four of the block-shaped portions and four of the bent portions.

12. A wound core comprising:
a laminated body including a plurality of electrical steel sheets stacked in a ring shape in side view; and
a compression means, wherein:
the laminated body includes a plurality of bent portions, and a plurality of block-shaped portions at positions between adjacent bent portions,
at least one bent portion among the plurality of bent portions is a high stacking factor bent portion, a stacking factor of the electrical steel sheets at the high stacking bent portion being higher than an average stacking factor of the electrical steel sheets at the plurality of block-shaped portions,
the compression means is configured to compress the plurality of electrical steel sheets at the high stacking factor bent portion in a stacking direction of the electrical steel sheets,
the compression means includes:
a first fixture disposed at an outer peripheral side of the high stacking factor bent portion and configured to abut the high stacking factor bent portion;
a second fixture disposed at an inner peripheral side of the high stacking factor bent portion and configured to abut the high stacking factor bent portion; and
a coupling part configured to couple the first fixture and the second fixture together,

the first fixture and the second fixture receive constraining force from the coupling part, and the plurality of electrical steel sheets at the high stacking factor bent portion are compressed in the electrical steel sheet stacking direction,
the first fixture is an outer sheet,
the second fixture is an inner sheet,
