Abstract

A stator for an electric rotary machine includes: a stator core having a plurality of slots; and segmented coils of a plurality of phases, wherein: the segmented coils of a plurality of phases have pluralities of coil bars which are inserted individually in the plurality of slots in the stator core and which extend substantially in a straight line and pluralities of connection coils which connect together the coil bars of the same phase to thereby make up extending portions; and the coil bars are fixed in place individually in the slots in the stator core in such a state that the coil bars each are covered by an insulation material.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A stator for an electric rotary machine comprising:
a stator core having a plurality of slots;
segmented coils of a plurality of phases; and
insulation material, wherein:
the segmented coils of a plurality of phases have pluralities of coil bars which are inserted individually in the plurality of slots in the stator core and which extend substantially in a straight line and pluralities of connection coils which connect together the coil bars of the same phase to thereby make up extending portions;
the coil bars are fixed in place individually in the slots in the stator core;
the coil bars which are inserted in the slots are each configured as having a radially outer coil bar and a radially inner coil bar aligned in the radial direction, wherein the radially outer coil bar and the radially inner coil bar are independently separated from each other;
the insulation material comprising the radially outer coil bar and the radially inner coil bar, wherein the radially outer coil bar and the radially inner coil bar are integrally covered by the insulation material, the insulation material is interposed between the radially outer coil bar and the radially inner coil bar, and an end portion of the radially outer coil bar and an end portion of the radially inner coil bar take different axial positions; and
the radially outer coil bar and the radially inner coil bar are fixed integrally by the insulation material in such a state that the end portion of the radially outer coil bar and the end portion of the radially inner coil bar take different axial positions at both ends of the stator core.

2. The stator core for an electric rotary machine according to claim 1 , wherein
the coil bars of the same phase are inserted in the slot.

3. The stator core for an electric rotary machine according to claim 1 , wherein:
the coil bars which are inserted together in the slot have the same length.

4. The stator core for an electric rotary machine according to claim 3 , wherein
the radially outer coil bar and the radially inner coil bar are press fitted in the slot in the stator core.

5. The stator core for an electric rotary machine according to claim 1 , wherein
the radially outer coil bar and the radially inner coil bar are disposed parallel to each other while being offset from each other in the axial direction in the amount of a thickness of the connection coil.

6. The stator core for an electric rotary machine according to claim 1 , wherein the end portion of the radially outer coil bar and the end portion of the radially inner coil bar that take different axial positions are connected by the connection coil, the radially outer coil bar and the radially inner coil bar being arranged in different slots.
