`ABSTRACT
`(57)
`A rotating electrical machine includes a stator including at
`least two element coils of the same phase each having a
`plurality of turns and connected to each other through a coil(cid:173)
`to-coil connection wire, the element coils being arranged in
`adjacent slots, respectively; and a rotor rotatably provided to
`the stator through a gap. The element coils of the same phase
`are fitted in the adjacent slots so that wound around portions
`of the element coils partially overlap each other. The coil-to(cid:173)
`coil connection wire connects at a coil end portion conductor
`wires extending from linear conductor wire portions of inner(cid:173)
`most wires of the element coils contained in the slots.

`BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

`insulation into a slot of the stator. This delimits the space
`factor and heat dissipation performance of the coil.
`In the case of inserting a coil into a slot of a rotating
`electrical machine, it is desirable that a coil in whole has a
`flexibility upon deformation of the coil into a shape suitable
`for inserting it into the slot after having been formed into a
`wound shape. However, when the coil is inserted into the slot
`after the deformation, it is necessary to fix the slot insertion
`region of the coil so that it will not loosen or feaze. The
`conventional technology would not have sufficiently taken
`account of achieving a good balance between the two prop-
`erties.
`
`SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
`
`1. Field of the Invention
`to rotating electrical
`The present invention relates
`machines such as electric motors and generators.
`2. Description of Related Art
`The tightening regulations on the exhaust gas emission to
`cope with soaring oil prices and global warming have acti(cid:173)
`vated development of electric vehicles and hybrid electric
`vehicles that use rotating electrical machines such as motors
`and generators.
`Conventional distributed winding stators for these rotating
`electrical machines include those stators of a lap winding
`format as disclosed in, for example, JP H08-298756A and JP
`2005-51981A. Such a lap winding stator is constituted as
`follows. A rectangular wire is wound into individual oblong
`coin-like coils (i.e., ellipse-like coils having two parallel lin(cid:173)
`ear sides bridged by round ends; hereafter referred to as
`ellipse-like coils). Each of the ellipse-like coils is fixed in
`whole and the fixed wires are subjected to torsional deforma- 35
`tion. The coil ends of each coil are formed into a non-inter(cid:173)
`fering format for double layer winding. The individual coils
`thus obtained are inserted in respective slots to provide a lap
`winding stator.
`A coil for use in a rotating electric machine in the related art 40
`is disclosed in, for example, JP S64-1444A. The coil is
`formed as follows. That is, a temporary fixation tape is wound
`around an original form coil having a pair of linear regions
`thereof that are to constitute coil sides of a final coil using a
`film insulator composed of a wound thermoplastic film. Then, 45
`only the linear regions of the original form coil is introduced
`into an ultrasonic welding apparatus equipped with a fixing
`apparatus to weld the insulator film of the wire and an insu(cid:173)
`lation tape for insulation from ground is wound. The thus
`insulated coil is then inserted into a slot.
`The conventional distributed winding stator, however, is
`manufactured by winding and deforming coils one by one.
`This makes it necessary to provide wire terminals twice the
`number of the coils and arrange and weld the wire terminals
`onto the side or top part of the coil ends. This results in an
`increase in the size of the coil ends, so that it has been difficult
`to provide compact connection and arrangement of the wire
`terminals.
`Two slot insertion regions of the lap winding coil that are to
`be inserted into slots are arranged in different slots of the 60
`stator, so that they could not be inserted the slots without
`undergoing elastic deformation. When the lap winding coils
`are continuously formed, the coils pull each other, resulting in
`an increase in difficulty of the operation of inserting the coils
`into the slots. For these reasons, a certain gap (0.1 to 0.2 mm 65
`or more) is required between the two coils in order to
`assemble a continuous lap winding coil of a flat wire with
`
`It is an object of the present invention to provide a rotating
`electrical machine that can improve the space factor and
`radiation performance, achieve size reduction and higher out-
`20 put power, and improve productivity.
`To achieve the above-mentioned object, the present inven(cid:173)
`tion provides a rotating electrical machine that comprises a
`stator including at least two element coils of the same phase
`each having a plurality of turns and connected to each other
`25 through a coil-to-coil connection wire, the element coils
`being arranged in adjacent slots, respectively; and a rotor
`rotatably provided to the stator through a gap, wherein: the
`element coils of the same phase are fitted in the adjacent slots
`so that wound around portions of the element coils partially
`30 overlap each other; and the coil-to-coil connection wire con(cid:173)
`nects at a coil end portion conductor wires extending from
`linear conductor wire portions of innermost wires of the ele(cid:173)
`ment coils contained in the slots.
`A rotating electrical machine according to another embodi-
`ment includes: a stator having incorporated there in a plurality
`of double-layer lap winding coils connected to each other
`through a bridge wire, with wire of each coil having a sub(cid:173)
`stantially rectangular shape; and a rotor rotatably provided to
`the stator through a gap, wherein slots in the stator are each
`provided with an outwardly extending inclination on an inner
`circumference side of an insertion portion where the coil and
`an insulation are to be inserted.
`A rotating electrical machine according to another embodi(cid:173)
`ment includes: a stator including a stator core in which a
`plurality of slots are formed in a circumferential direction,
`each of the slots being provided with a coil insertion portion
`on an inner circumference thereof, and a coil that is formed by
`winding around a stator winding wire a plurality of times; and
`50 a rotor rotatably provided on an inner circumference side of
`the stator, wherein the coil is bundled by being wrapped with
`an insulator, a portion of the coil that is wrapped with the
`insulator is inserted into the slot in a radial direction, and a
`coil end portion of the coil is not wrapped with the insulator
`55 so that the coil is left to be exposed.
