In a stator or a rotary electric machine, an insulating sheet spreads between two coils adjacent to each other in a circumferential direction in each slot. The insulating sheet covers the end in a third direction of the coil wound in a corresponding tooth, between end surfaces in an axial direction and between an inward-directed surface and an inclined surface in a radial direction. In the slot, an insulating sheet wrapping the adjacent coil is present, but the insulating sheet does not cover the end in a fourth direction of the coil wound around the corresponding tooth.

A stator for electric motors, includes a core having an upper and a lower portion and having teeth forming slots therebetween, first and second coil locking layers fixedly mounted on respective upper and lower portions of the core, and a plurality of preformed coil assemblies mounted on respective teeth of the core. Each coil wound carrier includes a winding section having an elongated opening configured to be adjusted around the corresponding tooth, and a first and a second winding carrier connected to opposite ends of the winding section. The first and second winding carriers include a projecting mating part, and the first and second coil locking rings include mating openings of complementary shape inside which are fitted the projecting mating part of respective first and second winding carriers of one of the preformed coil assemblies.

This armature has a core leg portion fixing member that is provided in a slot so as to overlap with a part at a position different from a position in an axial direction corresponding to a joint portion, and that includes a first fixing layer for fixing an armature core and a leg portion.

A stator assembly for an electric machine includes stator teeth connected to a stator yoke to form a stator core. Adjacent teeth define a stator slot. Stator windings are disposed within the slot. A molding material fills the slot around the windings, providing a desired thermoelectrical performance level at different slot regions, including electrical insulation, thermal conductivity, and/or electrostatic shielding levels. A method insulates the stator assembly by inserting a molding tool(s) into the slot to define a void volume, filling the void volume with the dielectric molding material, and curing the dielectric molding material to form a slot liner layer adjacent to the tooth walls. A slot opening between adjacent teeth is filled with an electrically-conductive resin to form an electrostatic shielding layer. An electrical system includes an AC voltage bus connected to a power inverter module and to the electric machine having the above-described stator assembly.

A stator includes multiple coils. The coils include multiple outer coils arranged on the base side of teeth and multiple inner coils arranged on the tip side of the teeth. The outer coils and the inner coils are alternately arranged along the circumferential direction of a stator core. Each coil winding of the outer coils is formed in a non-fixed state, and each coil winding of inner coils is formed in a fixed state.

An apparatus for forming pre-shaped insulating sheets comprises a first bending station and a second bending station. The first bending station is used for bending a flat sheet of insulating material into a Z-shaped sheet (5). The second bending station is used for bending the Z-shaped sheet into an S-shape. The first and second bending stations comprise pairs of first (13a, 13b) and second bending operators for creating bending movements.

A motor includes a stator to which a substrate can be stably secured without increasing the size of the substrate. An air-conditioning apparatus includes the motor. At an end portion of the stator in the axial direction thereof, a substrate on which electronic components are mounted is provided.

The insulators have outer walls provided on respective core backs of the stator core. In a linearly developed state of the stator, where of the teeth, an outermost tooth is a first tooth, a tooth adjacent to the first tooth is a second tooth, another tooth adjacent to the second tooth is a third tooth, another tooth adjacent to the third tooth is a fourth tooth, and another tooth adjacent to the fourth tooth is a fifth tooth, the outer walls of the first, third and fifth teeth include respective substrate attachment pins for use in attachment of the substrate, and the outer walls of the first tooth include respective power terminals for use in supplying power to the wire.

A laminated core manufacturing method according to the present invention is a manufacturing method for a laminated core including: a laminated body that is configured by laminating core strips that are made of a magnetic material, the laminated body including: a core back portion; and a tooth portion; and electrically insulating members that are disposed on two side portions of the tooth portion, wherein the laminated core manufacturing method includes a bonding step in which the insulating members are pressed onto each of the side surfaces of the tooth portion of the laminated body so as to integrate the laminated body and also so as to fix the insulating members to the laminated body, by means of at least one of an adhesive and a pressure-sensitive adhesive that is disposed between each of the side surfaces of the tooth portion and the insulating members.

A slot includes a coil housing portion having first and second side portions and a bottom portion. A first straight line connects first and second points which are boundaries between the bottom portion and the side portions. A slot opening has third and fourth points closest to the first and second side portions. A second straight line connects the first and third points. A third straight line connects the second and fourth points. A first region is surrounded by the first straight line and the bottom portion. A second region is surrounded by the second straight line and the first side portion, and is surrounded by the third straight line and the second side portion. A third region is surrounded by the three straight lines. Areas A1, A2 and A3 of the three regions and total cross-sectional areas S1, S2, S3 of coils therein satisfy (S1/A1)>(S2/A2)>(S3/A3).

An embodiment relates to a stator and a motor including the stator, the stator comprising: a stator core; a coil wound around the stator core; and an insulator disposed between the stator core and the coil, wherein the insulator includes: a body around which the coil is wound; a first guide protruding from the inside of the body; a second guide protruding on the outside of the body a first protrusion protruding outward from the lateral surface of the first guide; and a second protrusion protruding inward from the inner surface of the second guide, and an insulating member radially disposed between the first guide and the second guide is bent in a circumferential direction by means of the first protrusion and the second protrusion. Therefore, the motor can inhibit the movement and separation of insulating paper.
