Abstract

A stator for a rotary machine includes a rotor 7 and a stator 8 having a stator iron core 15 disposed oppositely around the outer circumference of the rotor 7 and a stator coil 16 fitted around the iron core 15, wherein the iron core 15 has a laminated iron core 150 with plural axially extending slots 15a formed circumferentially at predetermined pitches, an insulating resin 100 is coated on an axial end face 15f of the iron core 15 and an inner wall face of a slot 15a in the laminated iron core 150 to provide insulation between the iron core 15 and the stator coil 16, and the iron core is cylindrically shaped by bringing both circumferential end portions 15g of the laminated iron core 150 into contact to bend the laminated iron core 150 so that an opening face 15b of the slot 15a is directed inside.

Claims

1. A stator of a rotary machine, comprising:

a rotor; and

a stator having a stator iron core disposed around an outer circumference of said rotor and a stator coil fitted around said stator iron core,

wherein said stator iron core has a laminated iron core with a plurality of axially extending slots formed at a predetermined pitch, an insulating resin is coated at least on an axial end face of said stator iron core and an inner wall face of a slot in said laminated iron core to provide insulation between said stator iron core and said stator coil, and said laminated iron core is formed in a cylindrical shape by bringing both circumferential end portions of said laminated iron core into contact with each other in such a way as to bend said laminated iron core so that an opening face of said slot may be directed inside,

wherein a notch is provided on the inner wall face of said slot on the outer circumferential side of said stator iron core, and the insulating resin is coated thinner in said notch than any other portion of said inner wall face.

2. The stator for the rotary machine according to claim 1, wherein the stator coil is inserted into the slot to be aligned in one row in a diameter direction of said stator iron core.

3. The stator for the rotary machine according to claim 1, wherein said stator coil has a plurality of coils folded back outside said slot on the end face side of said stator iron core and wound to take alternately an inner layer and an outer layer in a slot depth direction within said slot for every predetermined number of slots, and a turn portion of said coil element wire folded back outside said slot on the end face side of said stator iron core is aligned in the circumferential direction to constitute a coil end group.

4. A method of manufacturing a stator for a rotary machine, comprising:

forming a laminated iron core by laminating a straight steel plate sheet with a slot shape punched;

coating an insulating resin at least on an axial end face of a stator iron core and on an inner wall face of a slot in said laminated iron core, wherein a notch is provided on the inner wall face of said slot on the outer circumferential side of said stator iron core, and the insulating resin is coated thinner in said notch than any other portion of said inner wall face;

winding a stator coil around said laminated iron core coated with the insulating resin; and

after said winding, forming the cylindrical stator iron core by placing both circumferential ends of said laminated iron core into contact with each other.
