Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A coil includes a wound body and a resin covering. The wound body is configured by winding a conductor. The wound body is pressure-molded. The resin covering covers a surface of the wound body.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A rotating electrical machine comprising: a rotor comprising a rotating shaft; brackets that rotatably support the rotating shaft; and a substantially cylindrical stator that is fixed to the brackets and is provided so as to enclose an outer circumference side of the rotor; the stator comprising: a stator core in which a plurality of slots is arranged in a circumferential direction; and a plurality of coils inserted into the plurality of slots, each of the coils comprising: a wound body that is configured by winding a conductor, and is pressure-moulded so that an outer shape of the wound body matches a shape of the corresponding slot; and a resin covering that covers a surface of the wound body, the resin covering comprising: a primary covering layer provided so as to cover an outside of the wound body, the primary covering layer being made of a resin; and a secondary covering layer provided as to cover an outside of the primary covering layer, the secondary covering layer being made of a resin that is the same as the resin of the primary covering layer. 2. The rotating electrical machine according to claim 1 , wherein the primary covering layer comprises: an outer surface comprising a plurality of surfaces including at least one of a curved surface and a flat surface; and a plurality of protrusion parts protruded from the outer surface in an amount equivalent to a predetermined dimension; the secondary covering layer is provided so as to cover an outside of the primary covering layer at a thickness equal to the predetermined dimension. 3. The rotating electrical machine according to claim 2 , wherein the secondary covering layer covers an outside of the primary covering layer, excluding the plurality of protrusion parts, at a thickness equal to the predetermined dimension. 4. A rotating electrical machine comprising: a rotor comprising a rotating shaft; brackets that rotatably support the rotating shaft; and a substantially cylindrical stator that is fixed to the brackets and is provided so as to enclose an outer circumference side of the rotor; the stator comprising: a stator core in which a plurality of slots is arranged in a circumferential direction; and a plurality of coils inserted into the plurality of slots, each of the coils comprising: a wound body that is configured by winding a conductor, and is pressure-moulded so that an outer shape of the wound body matches a shape of the corresponding slot; an insulating film that covers an outer peripheral surface of the conductor, the insulating film being made of a first resin; a resin covering that covers an outside of the insulating film on the conductor that defines the outer shape of the wound body, the resin covering being made of a second resin that differs from the first resin, wherein an outer shape of the resin covering comprises: a first surface that is made of a partially cylindrical surface, and is positioned on one side along a first direction orthogonal to a revolving direction of the conductor; a second surface that is made of a partially cylindrical surface, and is positioned on the other side along the first direction; a third surface that is made of a partially conical surface, and is provided on one side of the first surface and the second surface along a second direction orthogonal to the first direction; and a fourth surface that is made of a flat surface, and is provided on the other side of the first surface and the second surface along the second direction. 5. The rotating electrical machine according to claim 4 , wherein the outer shape of the resin covering further comprises: a fifth surface that is made of a flat surface, and is correspondingly provided on one side along a third direction orthogonal to the first direction and the second direction; a sixth surface that is made of a flat surface, and is correspondingly provided on the other side along the third direction; a first corner part that connects the third surface and the fifth surface; and a second corner part that connects the third surface and the sixth surface; the first corner part and the second corner part being respectively configured so as to closely contact with the other adjacent coil without an air gap produced, when the plurality of coils is adjacently disposed in the plurality of the slots. 6. The rotating electrical machine according to claim 4 , further comprising: a winding start part and a winding end part of the conductor to be wound, that are protruded to the other side of the wound body along the second direction, wherein the conductor of the wound body is, in sections other than the portions that are on the other side along the second direction and includes the winding start part and the winding end part of the conductor, wound by means of an aligned winding. 7. A rotating electrical machine comprising: a rotor comprising a rotating shaft; brackets that rotatably support the rotating shaft; and a substantially cylindrical stator that is fixed to the brackets and is provided so as to enclose an outer circumference side of the rotor; the stator comprising: a stator core in which a plurality of slots is arranged in a circumferential direction; and a plurality of coils inserted into the plurality of slots, each of the coils comprising: a wound body that is configured by winding a conductor, and is pressure-moulded so that an outer shape of the wound body matches a shape of the corresponding slot; an insulating film that covers an outer peripheral surface of the conductor, the insulating film being made of a first resin; and a resin covering that covers an outside of the insulating film on the conductor that defines the outer shape of the wound body, the resin covering being made of a second resin that differs from the first resin, wherein the resin covering comprises a depression part that is formed by at least one support part configured to support the wound body during a covering processing of a surface of the wound body, is opened to the outside at one end of the depression part, and leads to a surface of the wound body at the other end of the depression part. 8. A rotating electrical machine comprising: a rotor comprising a rotating shaft; brackets that rotatably support the rotating shaft; and a substantially cylindrical stator that is fixed to the brackets and is provided so as to enclose an outer circumference side of the rotor; the stator comprising: a stator core in which a plurality of slots is arranged in a circumferential direction; and a plurality of coils inserted into the plurality of slots, each of the coils comprising: a wound body that is configured by winding a conductor, and is pressure-moulded so that an outer shape of the wound body matches a shape of the corresponding slot; an insulating film that covers an outer peripheral surface of the conductor, the insulating film being made of a first resin; and a resin covering that covers an outside of the insulating film on the conductor that defines the outer shape of the wound body, the resin covering being made of a second resin that differs from the first resin, wherein the resin covering comprises: a first covering part formed by a first covering processing for covering a part of a surface of the wound body; and a second covering part formed by a second covering processing for covering a remaining section of the surface of the wound body, the remaining section having not been subjected to the first covering processing.
