20090058087On-vehicle rotary electric machine operating on two modes of rectification - A rotary electric machine for a vehicle includes a rotor, a stator and a rectifying device for current AC/DC conversion. The machine operates as a motor and a generator. The machine comprises a multi-phase windings, switching elements forming a rectifying device, and a controller for controlling a current path of the multi-phase windings by switching the switching elements on and off to perform two modes of operation. The switching elements are switched such that one end of each windings is connected to either a high electrical potential end or a low electrical potential end of the rectifying device and the other ends of the windings connected together to be the same electrical potential are connected to either the high electrical potential end or the low electrical potential end in the rectifying device.03-05-2009
20100001595Rotary electric machine for vehicles - A rotary electric machine for vehicles is provided, which includes a rotor, a stator disposed opposed to the rotor, a frame made of aluminum and supporting the rotor and the stator, and a rectifier secured to an outer end face of the frame and having low-loss elements as rectifying elements. A heat insulator is disposed between the rectifier and the frame. With this configuration, deterioration can be prevented in the overall cooling properties, while at the same time the cooling properties of the rectifier can be enhanced.01-07-2010
20100148620STATOR FOR ELECTRIC ROTATING MACHINE - A stator for an electric rotating machine includes a hollow cylindrical stator core and a stator coil made up of a plurality of wave-shaped electric wires. Each of the electric wires has a plurality of in-slot portions, each of which is received in one of slots of the stator core, and a plurality of turn portions each of which is located outside of the slots of the stator core to connect one adjacent pair of the in-slot portions of the electric wire. The stator coil includes a plurality of radial position shift portions each of which is provided, in one of the electric wires, in one of the turn portions of the electric wire between an apex part of the turn portion and one of the in-slot portions of the electric wire adjoining the turn portion and is radially bent to shift the radial position of the electric wire.06-17-2010
20100148621STATOR FOR ELECTRIC ROTATING MACHINE - A stator includes a hollow cylindrical stator core and a stator coil made up of wave-shaped electric wires. Each of the electric wires has in-slot portions, which are received in slots of the stator core, and turn portions that are located outside of the slots to connect the in-slot portions. The stator coil includes first crank-shaped portions and second crank-shaped portions. Each of the first and second crank-shaped portions is provided, in one of the electric wires, at the center of an apex part of one of the turn portions and is radially bent to shift the radial position of the electric wire. The amount of radial position shift made by each of the second crank-shaped portions is less than that made by each of the first crank-shaped portions. The second crank-shaped portions are located at a plurality of places in the circumferential direction of the stator core.06-17-2010
20110012450STATOR FOR ELECTRIC ROTATING MACHINE - A stator includes a stator core and a multi-phase stator coil comprised of a plurality of electric wires. Each of the electric wires has first, second, . . . , nth in-slot portions and first, second, . . . , (n−1)th turn portions, where n is an integer not less than 4. The first in-slot portions of the electric wires are located most radially outward and the nth in-slot portions are located most radially inward in the slots of the stator core. Each of the electric wires also has a first end portion positioned on the first in-slot portion side and a second end portion positioned on the nth in-slot portion side. Each of phase windings of the stator coil is formed of at least two of the electric wires. The first end portion of one of the two electric wires is connected to the second end portion of the other electric wire.01-20-2011
20110012472STATOR FOR ELECTRIC ROTATING MACHINE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SAME - A stator includes a stator core and a stator coil comprised of a plurality of electric wires. Each of the electric wires has, at least, first, second, and third in-slot portions and first and second turn portions. The first to third in-slot portions are respectively received in three different slots of the stator core. The first turn portion is located on one axial side of the stator core outside of the slots to connect the first and second in-slot portions. The second turn portion is located on the other axial side of the stator core outside of the slots to connect the second and third in-slot portions. For each of the electric wires, the radial distances of the first to third in-slot portions from the axis of the stator core successively decrease. All of the electric wires are offset from one another in the circumferential direction of the stator core.01-20-2011
