Abstract

Provided is a motor including a motor shaft, a rotor; a stator including a stator core and a stator coil, the stator coil being wound around the stator core so that coil ends on respective sides of the stator coil serving as turned back parts project axially outwardly beyond respective axial direction end surfaces of the stator core, a casing accommodating the rotor and the stator, and a sealing body charged into the casing to seal the entire stator or a part of the stator including the coil ends on the respective sides. A side surface on a radially inner side of a specific coil end of the coil ends on the respective sides is inclined so as to displace outwardly in a radial direction with close to a tip of the specific coin end.

Claims

1. A motor comprising:

a motor shaft;

a rotor that rotates about the motor shaft;

a stator disposed around the rotor, the stator including a stator core and a stator coil wound around the stator core, the stator coil being wound around the stator core in a condition where coil ends on respective sides of the stator coil, which serve as turned back parts on respective ends thereof, project outwardly in an axial direction beyond respective axial direction end surfaces of the stator core;

a casing accommodating the rotor and the stator; and

a sealing body charged into the casing to seal an entirety of the stator or a part of the stator including the coil ends on the respective sides,

wherein a side surface on a radially inner side of a specific coil end of the coil ends on the respective sides is inclined so as to displace outwardly in a radial direction with close to a tip of the specific coil end.

2. The motor according to claim 1, wherein only the side surface on the radially inner side of the specific coil end is inclined so as to displace outwardly in the radial direction with close to the tip of the specific coil end.

3. The motor according to claim 1, wherein an entirety of the specific coil end including the side surface on the radially inner side is inclined so as to displace outwardly in the radial direction with close to the tip.

4. A method of manufacturing a motor that includes:

a motor shaft;

a rotor that rotates about the motor shaft;

a stator disposed around the rotor, the stator including a stator core and a stator coil wound around the stator core, the stator coil being wound around the stator core in a condition where coil ends on respective sides of the stator coil, which serve as turned back parts on respective ends thereof, project outwardly in an axial direction beyond respective axial direction end surfaces of the stator core;

a casing accommodating the rotor and the stator; and

a sealing body charged into the casing to seal an entirety of the stator or a part of the stator including the coil ends on the respective sides,

the method comprising;

a coil winding step of winding the stator coil around the stator core;

an inclination provision step of providing a side surface on a radially inner side of the specific coil end of the coil ends on the respective sides of the stator coil, following the coil winding step, with such an inclination that the side surface displaces outwardly in a radial direction with close to a tip of a specific coil end; and

an injection step of injecting a sealant which serves as a material of the sealing body, from a side of the specific coil end, into the casing in which the stator whose side surface on the radially inner side of the specific coil end has been provided with the inclination is accommodated.

5. The motor manufacturing method according to claim 4, wherein, in the inclination provision step, the inclination is provided only to the side surface on the radially inner side of the specific coil end.

6. The motor manufacturing method according to claim 4, wherein, in the inclination provision step, the inclination is provided to an entirety of the specific coil end including the side surface on the radially inner side.

7. The motor manufacturing method according to claim 4, wherein the sealing step includes:

attaching to the casing an injection mold including an insertion portion that is inserted to an inner side of the stator and a cover portion connected to the insertion portion to cover an opening of the casing, the cover portion provided with an injection port; and

injecting the sealant serving as the material of the sealing body through the injection port toward an end surface of the specific coil end, wherein a part of the insertion portion of the injection mold, the part located on an inner side of the specific coil end, has an outer peripheral surface which is inclined, so as to increase in diameter with close to the cover portion, at a smaller angle than an angle of the inclination of the inside surface of the specific coil end.

8. The motor manufacturing method according to claim 4, wherein the inclination provision step includes using an inclination provision jig including an oblique outer peripheral surface inclined so as to decrease in diameter with close to a tip of the inclination provision jig to press the oblique outer peripheral surface against an inner part of the specific coil end while constraining the specific coil end at a radially outer side thereof.
