Stator for electric motor

摘要

A stator core for a motor in which a member with rounded edges is used to prevent the electrical breakdown of the winding of a coil which may occur at a slot edge therein. End plates 18 are disposed on ends of the stator core 10 formed of laminated magnetic steel plates 12. Each of the end plates 18 has substantially the same pattern as each magnetic steel plate 1, viewed from the axis of the motor. The elongate surface 18a of the end plate 18 continues smoothly from the inner surface 16a of each of slots 16 to the rounded edge surface 18b. The rounded edge surface extends smoothly from the elongate surface 18a to the end surface 18c of the end plate 18. This structure can eliminate sharp edges from the fringe of the slot 16, thus preventing the electrical breakdown of a coated conductor 22 in the coil which may occur at the edges.
