Abstract

A coil is wound via an electrically insulating member within a slot of a stator core of an electromagnetic motor which is formed of a stator and a rotor. Groove portions are formed to oppose one another in respective opposing portions of a slot opening portion side of the electrically insulating member. An electrically insulating sheet is disposed by being inserted into the pair of groove portions.

Claims

1. A coil insulating structure of an electromagnetic motor formed of a stator and a rotor and comprising a plurality of slots, formed by winding a coil via an electrically insulating member within at least one slot of a stator core of the electromagnetic motor,

wherein the electrically insulating member is mounted along the inner surface of the at least one slot in a substantially rectangular C-shape, comprising end portions disposed to protrude inward in a radial direction along a slot opening portion to face the inside of the slot opening portion,

wherein groove portions are formed to oppose one another in respective opposing portions of the slot opening portion side of the electrically insulating member, and a separate, flat electrically insulating sheet inserted into the pair of groove portions so as to close the slot opening;

wherein the sheet is inserted between the coil and the stator core so as to secure the electrical insulation distance between the coil and the stator core;

wherein a thickness of the electrically insulating member of the opposing portions of the slot opening portion side is increased such that the thickness of the opposing portion on one side is greater than the thickness of the opposing portion on the other side, and such that a width of the slot opening portion is uniform in relation to a slot center line in a state in which the electrically insulating member is mounted within the slot.

2. The coil insulating structure of an electromagnetic motor stator according to claim 1, wherein

the electrically insulating member and the electrically insulating sheet are separate members, and

the electrically insulating sheet has a plate shape.

3. The coil insulating structure of an electromagnetic motor stator according to claim 1, wherein

the electrically insulating member is substantially C-shaped in cross sectional view, and

the groove portions are formed in respective opposing portions of the slot opening portion side of the electrically insulating member, to straightly extend in an axial direction of the stator.

4. The coil insulating structure of an electromagnetic motor stator according to claim 1, wherein the slot opening portion is closed by inserting and positioning the electrically insulating sheet into the groove portions.
