Abstract

Abstract Lower coils (5b) and upper coils (5a) are inserted to slots (12) of a cylindrical armature core (4). The upper coils are used as crossover lines (102a) at the side of commutator (10) and form commutator segments. The crossover lines are approximately deviated by a pole pitch (yf) at the commutator and inserted to other slots as lower coils. The lower coils are used again as crossover lines and deviated approximately by the pole pitch at the opposite side of the commutator so as to be inserted again to the slots as the lower coils. An insulating resin (11) are forced to push into inner peripheral sides of the armature core, and the crossover lines forming a squirrel cage type shape and extending cylindrically from the core.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 196 words
An armature of a rotary electric machine comprising: an iron core of a cylindrical shape having a plurality of slots extending in an outer periphery thereof at an equal distance relative to each other in an axial direction of the iron core; an armature coil comprising unit coils of a lower coil and an upper coil inserted in said slots; an armature shaft extending along the axial direction of said iron core; a plurality of commutator segments electrically connected to crossover portions coupled to said unit coils and arranged at an equal distance around said armature shaft; and an insulating resin charged between said iron core and said armature shaft, in the slots of said iron core, between said commutator segments, between said commutator segments and said armature shaft, and between the crossover portions coupled to said unit coils; and holding members including arms for holding said upper coil and said lower coil of said unit coils and an annular portion for coupling and for fastening the arms, and wherein said insulating resin, mixed with a magnetic powder for establishing a magnetic path, is filled between said upper coil, said lower coil and said holding members.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 196 words
An armature of a rotary electric machine comprising: an iron core of a cylindrical shape having a plurality of slots extending in an outer periphery thereof at an equal distance relative to each other in an axial direction of the iron core; an armature coil comprising unit coils of a lower coil and an upper coil inserted in said slots; an armature shaft extending along the axial direction of said iron core; a plurality of commutator segments electrically connected to crossover portions coupled to said unit coils and arranged at an equal distance around said armature shaft; and an insulating resin charged between said iron core and said armature shaft, in the slots of said iron core, between said commutator segments, between said commutator segments and said armature shaft, and between the crossover portions coupled to said unit coils; and holding members including arms for holding said upper coil and said lower coil of said unit coils and an annular portion for coupling and for fastening the arms, and wherein said insulating resin, mixed with a magnetic powder for establishing a magnetic path, is filled between said upper coil, said lower coil and said holding members.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 36 words
An armature of a rotary electric machine with a commutator according to claim 1, wherein a unit coil of said armature coil and said plurality of commutator segments connected thereto are constituted by a same conductor.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 37 words
An armature of a rotary electric machine with a commutator according to claim 2, wherein said unit coils of said armature coil and said plurality of commutator segments connected thereto are continuously constituted using a single conductor.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 65 words
An armature of a rotary electric machine according to claim 1, wherein the armature coil is a squirrel cage type armature coil and a conductor is alternatingly continuous over the upper coil, the lower coil and the crossover portions, and wherein the crossover portions are connected to said plurality of commutator segments which form straight portions, respective, along a longitudinal direction of said armature shaft.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 43 words
An armature coil of a rotary electric machine according to claim 4, wherein said upper coil and said lower coil have a circular shape in cross section, and said straight portions of said crossover portions have substantially a square shape in cross section.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 76 words
An armature coil of a rotary electric machine according to claim 4, wherein a straight portion of said straight portions serving as a commutator segment of said plurality of commutator segments is formed on a crossover portion of the crossover portions extending from the upper coil, and said crossover portion continuous to said lower coil is also continuous to said lower coil that enters into the slot at a position deviated by approximately one pole pitch.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 75 words
An armature coil of a rotary electric machine according to claim 5, wherein a straight portion of said straight portions serving as a commutator segment of said plurality of commutator segments is formed on a crossover portion of said crossover portions extending from the upper coil of said armature coil, and said lower coil is also continuous to the lower coil that enters into the slot at a position deviated by approximately one pole pitch.
