Abstract
A stator core that is configured by stacking plural core plates and that is housed inside a case of a motor. The plural core plates include an elastic protrusion-equipped core plate provided with plural elastic protrusions arrayed in a circumferential direction. The elastic protrusions extend toward a radial direction outside from an outer peripheral portion of the elastic protrusion-equipped core plate and are bent in an axial direction. The stator core is supported by the case in a state in which the plural elastic protrusions are in contact with an inner peripheral face of the case and elastically flexed.
Claims7
A stator core that is configured by stacking a plurality of core plates and that is housed inside a case of a motor, wherein:
- the plurality of core plates include a plurality of elastic protrusion-equipped core plates provided with a plurality of elastic protrusions arrayed in a circumferential direction, the elastic protrusions extending toward a radial direction outside from an outer peripheral portion of the elastic protrusion-equipped core plates and being bent in an axial direction;
- and
- the stator core is supported by the case in a state in which the plurality of elastic protrusions are in contact with an inner peripheral face of the case and elastically flexed,
- wherein the plurality of core plates include a plurality of flat protrusion-equipped core plates provided with a plurality of flat protrusions arrayed in the circumferential direction so as to extend toward the radial direction outside from an outer peripheral portion of the flat protrusion-equipped core plates,
- wherein leading end portions of the plurality of flat protrusions are arranged opposing the inner peripheral face of the case across a gap,
- wherein the plurality of elastic protrusions are bent to one side in the axial direction,
- wherein the plurality of flat protrusion equipped core plates are stacked on another side of the plurality of elastic protrusion-equipped core plates in the axial direction, and
- wherein the plurality of elastic protrusions and the plurality of flat protrusions are arranged side by side in the axial direction.
A stator unit comprising:
- a case of a motor;
- and
- a stator core that is configured by stacking a plurality of core plates and that is housed inside the case of the motor,
- wherein the plurality of core plates include an elastic protrusion-equipped core plate provided with a plurality of elastic protrusions arrayed in a circumferential direction, the elastic protrusions extending toward a radial direction outside from an outer peripheral portion of the elastic protrusion-equipped core plate and being bent in an axial direction,
- wherein the stator core is supported by the case in a state in which the plurality of elastic protrusions are in contact with an inner peripheral face of the case and elastically flexed,
- wherein a plurality of grooves, into which the plurality of elastic protrusions are configured to be inserted, are arrayed in a circumferential direction at the inner peripheral face of the case, and
- wherein a gap is provided between the inner peripheral face of the case and an outer peripheral face of the stator core.
