MOTOR STATOR, MOTOR, PUMP, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE MOTOR
First Claim
1. A motor stator comprising:
- a stator core that is formed by layering magnetic steel plates punched into a predetermined shape, the stator core including a plurality of slots to hold coils;
a plurality of cut surfaces that are formed on an outer surface of the stator core in an axial direction to provide flat surfaces on the outer surface, the plurality of cut surfaces spaced apart from one another by a predetermined distance along a circumferential direction;
end surface insulating plates that are assembled into the stator core on both axial end surfaces thereof, each end surface insulating plate being a little larger in outer diameter than the stator core, and formed in an approximately same shape as the predetermined shape of the magnetic steel plates punched out to form the stator core;
a plurality of projections that vertically extend in a vicinity of a peripheral portion of the each end surface insulating plate, the plurality of projections being engaged with the cut surfaces on the stator core when the end surface insulating plates are assembled into the stator core;
slot-like cutouts that are a little larger in size than the slots of the stator core, and formed on an inner peripheral side of the each end surface insulating plate; and
coil ends, which are portions of the coils, extending out of the both axial end surfaces of the stator core in the axial direction,wherein the coil ends are shaped by pressure against the end surface insulating plates.

Abstract
An objective is to provide a motor stator that may achieve: a reduction in parts costs by shaping coil ends so that length thereof is reduced, thereby reducing the amount of use of copper, and minimizing the amount of use of binding strings for securing the coil ends in place; a reduction in manufacturing process costs by a structure which allows a protector and a wire lead outlet part to be easily assembled; and then an improvement in quality of a stator by firmly holding the coil ends and the protector. The motor stator may include a stator core 1 including slots; a plurality of cut surfaces forming flat surfaces on the outer surface of the stator core 1; end surface insulating plates 2 formed in an approximately same shape as the shape of magnetic steel plates punched out, and assembled into the stator core 1 on both axial end surfaces thereof; projections formed in a vicinity of a peripheral portion of an end surface insulating plate 2, and engaged with the cut surfaces on the stator core 1; slot-like cutouts, a little larger in size than the slots, formed on an inner peripheral side of the each end surface insulating plate 1; and coil ends. The coil ends are shaped by pressure against the end surface insulating plates 2.
