Abstract

Small coil groups are each configured by connecting a plurality of winding bodies in series by passing crossover portions that are formed by bending first conductor terminals radially outward axially outside a coil end and joining the crossover portions to second conductor terminals that are subject to joining, the first conductor terminals that constitute first ends of the small coil group are disposed so as to be spaced apart from each other circumferentially around a radially inner side of a circular arc-shaped region that extends circumferentially around the coil end, the second conductor terminals that constitute second ends of the small coil group are arranged so as to be spaced apart from each other circumferentially around a radially outer side of the circular arc-shaped region of the coil end, and a stator winding is produced by connecting the small coil groups within the circular arc-shaped region.

First claim

1 . A stator for a rotary electric machine comprising:
an annular stator core in which slots are arranged circumferentially; and a stator winding that is mounted to said stator core, wherein:
said stator winding is configured by mounting distributed winding bodies to said stator core circumferentially at a pitch of one slot so as to be equal in number to a total number of said slots, said distributed winding bodies each being produced by winding for a plurality of turns a jointless continuous conductor wire that is coated with insulation;
said winding bodies are configured such that a first conductor terminal of said conductor wire extends outward at a first axial end of said stator core from a radially innermost position inside said slots, and a second conductor terminal of said conductor wire extends outward at said first axial end of said stator core from a radially outermost position inside said slots;
a plurality of small coil groups are each configured by connecting a plurality of said winding bodies in series by passing crossover portions that are formed by bending said first conductor terminals radially outward axially outside a coil end at said first axial end of said stator winding and joining said crossover portions to said second conductor terminals that are subject to joining;
said first conductor terminals that constitute first ends of said small coil group are disposed so as to be spaced apart from each other circumferentially around a radially inner side of a circular arc-shaped region that extends circumferentially around said coil end, said second conductor terminals that constitute second ends of said small coil group are arranged so as to be spaced apart from each other circumferentially around a radially outer side of said circular arc-shaped region of said coil end, and said crossover portions are disposed in a C shape that spans said circular arc-shaped region so as to be spaced apart from each other circumferentially axially outside said coil end; and
said stator winding is produced by connecting said plurality of small coil groups within said circular arc-shaped region.

2 . The stator for a rotary electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein members that connect said plurality of small coil groups, except for electric power supplying coils that supply electric power from outside, are disposed on said coil end within a radial region between said first conductor terminals and said second conductor terminals within said circular arc-shaped region.

3 . The stator for a rotary electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein said winding bodies are configured by winding a 6-shaped coil pattern repeatedly for m turns in a radial direction, where m is a natural number that is greater than or equal to 1, said 6-shaped coil pattern being formed by inserting said conductor wire into a first slot, a second slot, and a third slot that line up at an angular spacing of n slots in a circumferential direction, where n is an integer that is greater than or equal to 2, in order of said second slot, said first slot, said second slot, and said third slot, so as to alternate an axial direction of insertion into said first slot, said second slot, and said third slot.

4 . The stator for a rotary electric machine according to claim 1 , wherein a bending radius of said first conductor terminals is greater than a thickness of said first conductor terminals in a direction of bending.
