  By the way, in the field of inverter motors for automobiles, a coil is formed by winding a strip-shaped conductor of uniform width formed in a rectangular cross section a plurality of times so as to be fitted in a slot. That is, a laminated structure with the same conductor is formed in the slot.

  However, as shown in FIG. 4, the slot 21 ′ of the stator core 20 ′ is generally formed to have a narrower width from the bottom toward the opening. Therefore, the laminated structure of the conductor 10 ′ is formed on the bottom of the slot 21 ′. Dead spaces are formed on both sides.

  The present invention has been made in view of this point, and an object of the present invention is to provide an assembly conductor that reduces the dead space of the slot.

The present invention for achieving the above object is a strip-shaped assembly conductor in which a plurality of conductor wires are integrated,
It is formed so that the width gradually increases from one end to the other end.

  In order to manufacture this collective conductor, a strip having a uniform width in which a plurality of conductor wires are integrated may be formed and formed so that the width gradually increases from one end to the other end.

  According to the present invention, since the collective conductor is formed so that the width gradually increases from one end to the other end, the wide end even if the slot is formed to be narrower from the bottom to the opening. If the coil is wound from the narrow end to the narrow end, a laminated structure of the collective conductor having a wide width on the bottom side of the slot and a narrow width on the opening side is formed, and therefore, the dead space formed on both sides of the laminated structure of the collective conductor is reduced. Can be small.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

(Aggregate conductor)
FIG. 1 shows an example of the collective conductor 10 of the present embodiment. This collective conductor 10 is wound a plurality of times to constitute a coil so as to be fitted into the slot 21 of the stator core 20 of the inverter motor.

  The collective conductor 10 is formed in a strip shape by integrating a plurality of conductor wires 11. The collective conductor 10 is formed so that the width gradually increases from one end to the other end. Furthermore, the collective conductor 10 may be formed with a uniform thickness in the length direction, or may be formed with a gradually decreasing thickness from one end to the other end.

  For example, the assembly conductor 10 has a length of 4 to 5 m, a width of 3 to 4 mm and a thickness of 0.5 to 1.0 mm at one end, and a width of 5 to 10 mm and a thickness of 0.2 to 0.5 mm at the other end. Are formed respectively. The assembly conductor 10 is inserted into the slot 21 of the stator core 20 of the inverter motor in the thickness direction. Therefore, the width and thickness are equal to each other, or the thickness is larger than the width. is there.

  The collective conductor 10 may be, for example, a vertically or horizontally long rectangular cross section (FIG. 1A) or a trapezoid having oblique sides on both sides in the width direction (FIG. 1B). )) By doing so, the assembly conductor 10 can be densely accommodated in the slot 21, and there is no particular limitation as long as it improves the characteristics of the obtained motor.

  The plurality of conductor wires 11 constituting the assembly conductor 10 have m rows × n columns (for example, an integer of m ≧ 1, n ≧ 2, where m = 1 to 4, and n = 5 to 20). In the case where m is 1 to 4 and n is 5 to 20, the advantage as the collective conductor 10 is great, and it can be easily integrated in a non-twisted state. The conductor wires 11 are arranged in a close-packed manner (FIGS. 3A and 3B).

  Each conductor wire 11 has a cross section of a partial shape obtained by dividing the entire cross section. Each conductor wire 11 may have, for example, a circular cross-sectional shape or a polygon such as a quadrangle or a hexagon. The plurality of conductor wires 11 may have the same cross-sectional shape, may be different from each other, or may be a mixture of the same and different ones.

  Each conductor wire 11 includes a conductor wire 12 and a coating layer 13 provided on the outer periphery thereof.

The conductor wire 12 is made of a conductive material such as copper, aluminum, iron, silver, gold, or an alloy thereof. For example, the conductor wire 12 has a cross-sectional area of 0.0007 to ⁴ mm ² .

  The covering layer 13 only needs to have a resistance value larger than that of the conductor wire 12, and is generally a material having electrical insulation, for example, an amide imide resin, a polyamide resin, a polyimide resin, a polyester resin, a urethane resin, an acrylic resin. It is made of resin, epoxy resin or the like. The coating layer 13 is formed by dipping treatment into a solution in which a resin is dissolved or electrodeposition coating treatment. For example, in the former case, the layer thickness is 1 to 10 μm, in the latter case, The layer thickness is 1 to 5 μm (preferably 1 to 3 μm). Among these, from the viewpoint of heat resistance, an amidoimide resin, a polyamide resin, and a polyimide resin are preferable, and from the viewpoint of being easily thermally decomposed when soldered, a urethane resin is preferable, and further, heat resistance and flexibility From the viewpoint of safety, an acrylic resin is preferable, and a material corresponding to the use of the assembly conductor 10 may be applied. The covering layer 13 may be formed by an oxide film or plating of the conductor wire 12. In addition, each conductor wire 11 does not have the coating layer 13, and may be comprised only with the conductor strand 12. FIG.

  The plurality of conductor wires 11 are integrally formed in close contact with the adjacent ones via the binder 14. The binding material 14 does not need to be provided on the entire surface of the conductor wire 11, and may be provided discretely in the length direction. However, from the viewpoint of preventing the conductor wires 11 from being scattered, it is preferable to provide the binder 14 on the entire surface. Further, the binder 14 may be configured to cover the outer periphery of the collective conductor 10.

  The binding material 14 is, for example, a fusion material such as polyvinyl bratill resin, polyamide resin (including polyamide alcohol-soluble resin), epoxy resin, polyester resin, EVA resin, acrylic resin, urethane. Adhesives such as epoxy resin, epoxy resin, chloroprene resin, cyanoacrylate resin, silicone resin, nitrile resin, PVC resin, and vinyl acetate resin. Among these, a polyamide-based alcohol-soluble resin is preferable from the viewpoint that it can be re-adhered or released from contact with alcohol. For example, the binder 14 has a thickness of 0.5 to 3 μm.

  In addition, when the withstand voltage is required, the collective conductor 10 is formed by dipping the plurality of integrally formed conductor wires 11 even if the insulating tape is wound around the outer periphery of the plurality of integrally formed conductor wires 11. It is good also as a structure which formed the resin layer in the outer peripheral surface.

  The assembly conductor 10 having the above configuration is wound from the wide end to the narrow end in the slot 21 of the stator core 20 of the inverter motor that is formed to have a narrower width from the bottom toward the opening, thereby forming a laminated structure. Configure the coil. For example, the slot 21 is formed with a bottom width of 6 to 8 mm, an opening width of 3 to 4 mm, and a depth of 90 to 100 mm.

  This laminated structure is a laminated structure of the collective conductor 10 having a large width on the bottom side of the slot 21 and a small width on the opening side. Therefore, as shown in FIG. The formed dead space is small. In particular, as shown in FIG. 2B, when the cross-sectional shape of the collective conductor 10 is a trapezoid having oblique sides on both sides in the width direction, the wide side in the thickness direction is placed in the slot 21 at the bottom side and the narrow side. If the assembly conductor 10 is laminated with the side as the opening side and each side surface faces or is in surface contact with the inner wall, dead space formed on both sides of the lamination structure of the assembly conductor 10 is completely eliminated. None or very small.

  Further, the aggregated conductor 10 is composed of a plurality of conductor wires 11 and has a larger conductor surface area than a single conductor wire, so that a current loss due to the skin effect is small and a large current can flow.

(Method for manufacturing aggregate conductor)
Next, a method for manufacturing this collective conducting wire will be described.

  First, a conductor wire 12 having a predetermined cross-sectional shape is drawn. The conductor wire 12 may have a circular cross-sectional shape, a polygon such as a quadrangle or a hexagon, a circle, or an irregular shape.

  Next, the conductor wire 11 in which the covering layer 13 is formed on the surface of the conductor wire 12 is produced. This step can be performed by, for example, a dipping process, an electrodeposition coating process, a surface oxidation process, a plating process, etc., in which the conductor wire 12 is immersed in a solution in which a resin is dissolved and then dried.

  Next, the binder 14 is attached to the surface of the conductor wire 11. This step can be performed by, for example, a dipping process in which the conductor wire 11 is immersed in a solution in which a resin is dissolved and then dried.

  Next, the plurality of conductor wires 11 are bundled in a uniform width in a non-twisted state or a twisted state in one direction. The plurality of conductor wires 11 may have the same cross-sectional shape, may be different from each other, or may be a mixture of the same and different ones.

  Next, the plurality of conductor wires 11 are integrated to form a strip 15 having a uniform width. In this step, for example, the binder 14 is heated to melt the binder 14 so that the binders 14 are brought into close contact with each other. The binder 14 of the polyamide-based alcohol-soluble resin is gelled by being immersed in alcohol. It can be performed by a method of bringing the materials 14 into close contact with each other. The belt-like body 15 may be a vertically or horizontally long rectangular cross-sectional shape, or may be a trapezoid having oblique sides on both sides in the width direction, and is not particularly limited. Note that the degree of integration may be increased by passing a die through at least one of the parts before and after the integration.

  Finally, the strip conductor 15 having a uniform width is formed and processed so that the width gradually increases from one end to the other end, whereby the assembly conductor 10 is manufactured. At this time, the collective conductor 10 is formed so that its thickness gradually decreases from one end to the other end. This step is, for example, a method of setting and pressing the belt-like body 15 in a mold in which grooves corresponding to the shape of the collective conductor 10 are formed, each surrounded by a plurality of molding rollers movable in the axial direction. It can be performed by a method of passing the belt-like body 15 through the region and changing the roller interval along the length direction. As shown in FIG. 3 (a), even if the cross-sectional shape of the strip 15 is different from the cross-sectional shape of the collective conductor 10, the cross-section of the strip 15 is also shown in FIG. 3 (b). The surface shape and the cross-sectional shape of the collective conductor 10 may be the same or both.

(Other embodiments)
In the above-described embodiment, the conductor wire 11 is configured such that the conductor wire 12 is covered with the covering layer 13. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the conductor wire 12 does not have the covering layer 13. It may constitute the conductor wire 11 itself.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although it was set as the structure by which the several conductor wire 11 was integrally formed by the binder 14, it is not limited to this in particular, The several conductor wire 11 is bundled and insulated on the outer periphery A configuration in which a tape is wound and formed integrally may be a configuration in which a plurality of conductor wires are twisted and formed integrally.

  As described above, the present invention is useful for a strip-shaped assembly conductor in which a plurality of conductor wires are integrated and a method for manufacturing the same.
