Abstract
A commutator-integrated armature of a rotary electric machine is comprised of a rotary shaft, an armature core composed of a plurality of laminated sheets, an armature coil composed of a plurality of conductor segments. The conductor segments have in-slot portions respectively inserted into a plurality of slots of the armature core and end portions forming a flat commutator. The armature core has an anchoring portion for anchoring a part of each of the in-slot portions to the armature core more strongly than the rest thereof. The surface of the flat commutator is maintained flat even if the conductor segments repeat thermal expansion and contraction.
Claims5
An armature of a rotary electric machine, comprising:
- a rotary shaft;
- an armature core composed of a plurality of laminated sheets through which said shaft is inserted and a plurality of slots and projections at the outer periphery thereof;
- an armature coil composed of a plurality of conductor segments having in-slot portions being respectively inserted into said slots;
- and
- a commutator formed by a portion of said armature coil to be integrated with said armature coil at an end thereof, wherein said armature core comprises a belt-like pressed anchoring portion disposed at a portion of said laminated sheets near said commutator for pressing a part of each of said in-slot portions that correspond to said portion of said laminated sheets to said armature core more strongly than other parts of said in-slot portions.
A method for manufacturing an armature of a rotary electric machine, said method comprising:
- producing an armature core composed of a plurality of laminated sheet through which a rotary shaft is inserted, said armature core comprising a plurality of slots at an outer periphery thereof;
- inserting in-slot portions of an armature coil into said slots of the armature core;
- said armature coil being composed of a plurality of conductor segments;
- and
- forming a commutator integrated with said armature coil and formed at portions thereof;
- wherein said armature core comprises an anchoring portion formed by pressing a portion of said laminated sheets near said commutator for anchoring a part of each of said in-slot portions that correspond to said portion of said laminated sheets to said armature core more strongly than other parts of said in-slot portions.
