Abstract
Provided is a crossover module, which can facilitate the process of manufacturing a stator. The crossover module (20) is a module having crossovers (23) for connecting such coils (13) electrically with each other as are mounted on a stator core (11) of a motor (100). The crossover module (20) is constituted such that its shape can be changed between a shape, in which it is mounted on the stator core (11), and a shape, in which it is opened to the outer sides from the former shape.
Claims6
A crossover module having a crossover for electrically connecting coils mounted on a stator core of a motor and provided between an end face in an axial direction of the stator core and a coil leader line extracted outward in a radial direction of the stator core from each of the coils, the crossover and the coil leader line being connected to each other, wherein the crossover module has a substantially ring-like shape which is disconnected at one position thereof and a moving portion capable of bending outward in a radial direction.
A crossover module, comprising:
- an insulating crossover-holding member having a substantially ring-like shape and a crossover-holding groove formed therein extending in a circumferential direction;
- and
- a crossover held in the crossover-holding groove, for electrically connecting coils mounted on a stator core of a motor,
- wherein
- the crossover-holding member is divided in the circumferential direction into two substantially arc-like portions,
- one ends of the two portions (hereinafter referred to as connection ends) are connected to each other such that the two portions are mutually able to rotate about an axial direction,
- an insulating piece is formed projecting from the connection end of one of the two portions so as to extend toward the other portion side and separating the crossover and the stator core, and
- a space for accepting the insulating piece is formed on the connection end of the other portion.
