TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a stator structure of a rotating electric machine.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As a conventional stator structure, for example, a structure shown in a perspective view in FIG. 5 is known. This stator structure has a plurality of teeth 51 and a ring-shaped core back 52 that fits and holds these teeth 51 at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, and has a slot 53 between adjacent teeth 51. A stator coil (not shown) is mounted.
[0003]
As shown in a perspective view in FIG. 6, the teeth 51 are made of a laminated steel plate formed by laminating and bonding, caulking, or welding electromagnetic thin plates such as a silicon steel plate, and a notch 56 is formed in a base portion 55 thereof. Have been.
[0004]
As shown in a partial perspective view of FIG. 7, the core back 52 is also made of a laminated steel sheet formed by laminating electromagnetic thin sheets such as a silicon steel sheet and bonding, caulking, or welding to each other. Is formed with a concave portion 57 extending in the stator axial direction F and having a similar shape to the base portion 55 of the tooth 51, and the base portion 55 of the tooth 51 is press-fitted into the concave portion 57 from the stator axial direction. ing.
[0005]
Note that the width of the base portion 55 of the teeth 51 in the stator circumferential direction is the same in the stator axial direction, and the width of the concave portion 57 of the core back 52 in the stator circumferential direction is also the same in the stator axial direction. In addition, the width at the base 55 of the teeth 51 in the circumferential direction of the stator is substantially equal.
[0006]
However, in such a stator structure, since the base 55 of the tooth 51 similarly made of a laminated steel plate is press-fitted into the concave portion 57 of the core back 52 made of the laminated steel plate from the axial direction of the stator, and thus fitted together. The mouth of the mouth and the tightness of the press fit become tight. For this reason, high positioning accuracy is required at the time of assembly, and automatic assembly becomes difficult.
[0007]
As a solution to this problem, a protruding piece with a sloped tip is formed at the base of the tooth, and the inner peripheral side of the core back is slightly larger than the protruding piece of the tooth, and the inner edge is cut diagonally. After forming the missing recess, insert the teeth protruding piece into the core back recess, rotate it toward the inclined portion to engage the inclined portion and the inner edge of the recess, and then weld the engaged portion Alternatively, a stator structure that is fixed by bonding has been proposed (for example, Patent Document 1).

[0009]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the stator structure described in Patent Document 1, since the recess of the core back is larger than the projection of the tooth, an air gap is formed in the recess after the teeth are assembled, and the magnetic permeability at that portion is reduced. As a result, there is a concern that the efficiency of the rotating electrical machine may be reduced due to saturation of the magnetic flux density.
[0010]
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a stator structure of a rotating electric machine that can improve the assemblability of the stator and prevent a decrease in the efficiency of the rotating electric machine.
[0011]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The invention of a stator structure for a rotating electric machine according to claim 1, which achieves the above object, provides a stator in which a base of a tooth made of a laminated steel sheet is provided in a recess formed in a core back made of a laminated steel sheet so as to extend in a stator axial direction. In the stator structure of a rotating electric machine, which is inserted and held in the axial direction, the base has a width in the circumferential direction of the stator at a distal end thereof, which is the insertion end from the insertion side end face to the concave portion to a predetermined position in the stator axial direction. The portion is formed narrower than the remaining portion, and the recess fits the insertion tip at the tip of the base in such a manner that the opening width in the stator circumferential direction corresponds to the width of the base in the stator circumferential direction. It is characterized in that the insertion tip fitting portion to be combined is formed narrower than the remaining portion.
[0012]
According to the first aspect of the present invention, the insertion front end portion of the tooth base portion is narrow, and the opening width of the entrance portion of the core back recess into which the tooth base portion is inserted is determined by the insertion front end of the tooth base portion. Because the width is wider than the part, the teeth base can be easily inserted into the recess even if the positioning accuracy between the teeth base and the recess is poor when assembling the teeth, and the insertion tip of the teeth base is located at the entrance of the recess. After the insertion, the tooth base can be inserted into the concave portion and fitted with the concave portion as a guide. Therefore, the assemblability of the stator can be improved, automatic assembly can be easily performed, and an undesired air gap can be prevented from being formed in the fitting portion between the tooth base and the core back recess, so that the efficiency of the rotating electric machine can be improved. It is possible to prevent a decrease.
[0013]
According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the stator structure of the rotating electric machine according to the first aspect, the dimension of the concave portion in the axial direction of the stator at the insertion tip fitting portion is A, and the dimension of the base in the axial direction of the stator at the insertion tip portion of the base portion. When the dimension is A 'and the thickness of each steel plate constituting the teeth is D', A '≧ A and A'-A <D' are satisfied.
[0014]
According to the second aspect of the present invention, when the tooth base is inserted into the recess and the insertion side end surface of the tooth base is fitted to the one end surface of the core back and fitted, the stator peripheral portion at the tooth base in the stator axial direction is provided. Between the step portion having a different width in the direction and the step portion having a different width in the circumferential direction of the stator in the concave portion, an air gap less than the thickness of one steel sheet constituting the teeth is formed at the maximum. Thus, formation of an air gap can be further suppressed. In addition, when the step portion of the tooth base is fitted in close contact with the step portion of the concave portion in the stator axial direction, the insertion tip portion of the tooth base is less than the thickness of one steel plate at a maximum. Since it only projects from the end face, it is possible to more reliably prevent a decrease in the efficiency of the rotating electric machine.
[0015]

Since the width is wider than the insertion tip 6, even if the positioning accuracy between the base 4 of the teeth 3 and the recess 2 of the core back 1 during assembly of the teeth is poor, the base 4 can be easily inserted into the recess 2. Can be. Moreover, after the insertion distal end portion 6 is inserted into the entrance portion of the concave portion 2, the base portion 4 can be inserted into the concave portion 2 with the concave portion 2 as a guide and fitted.
[0026]
Further, the dimension in the axial direction of the stator at the insertion end fitting portion 8 of the recess 2 is A, the dimension in the axial direction of the stator at the narrow insertion end portion 6 of the base 4 is A ′, and the thickness of each steel plate constituting the teeth 3 is A. When D ′, A ′ ≧ A and A′−A <D ′ are satisfied, so that the formation of an air gap in the fitting portion between the core back 1 and the teeth 3 can be minimized. it can.
[0027]
That is, when the base 4 of the tooth 3 is inserted into the recess 2 of the core back 1 and the end face of the base 4 of the tooth 3 on the insertion side is fitted to the one end face of the core back 1 and fitted, the axial direction of the stator 3 Between the stepped portion of the base portion 4 of the tooth 3 having a different width in the stator circumferential direction and the stepped portion of the concave portion 2 having a different width in the stator circumferential direction, at most less than the thickness of one steel sheet constituting the tooth 3 Only the air gap is formed, and the expansion of the air gap can be suppressed. When the stepped portion of the base 4 of the tooth 3 is closely fitted to the stepped portion of the recess 2 in the axial direction of the stator, the insertion end portion 7 of the base 4 of the tooth 3 has a thickness of at most one steel plate. Since it only protrudes from the one end surface of the core back 1 by less than that, it is possible to reliably prevent a decrease in the efficiency of the rotating electric machine.
