Abstract:
An electric power steering system for a vehicle includes a steering wheel and a steering shaft that is connected to the steering wheel. A worm gear is connected to the steering shaft. A worm is threadably engaged to the worm gear. A permanent magnet motor is connected to the worm. The permanent magnet motor includes a stator with twelve slots and a rotor with ten poles. The rotor includes one or more axial rotor sections. If more than one axial rotor section is employed, the axial rotor sections are rotationally offset. The axial rotor sections are rotationally offset by an offset angle that is equal to a cogging angle divided by the number of axial rotor sections. The rotor includes breadloaf, spoke, radial or arc permanent magnets.
Abstract:
A brushless DC motor minimizes a chance of dislocation of or damage to an insulator used in the brushless DC motor. Slant portions are provided at end portions of the insulator; therefore, even if a nozzle of a machine for installing a winding should hit the insulator while moving between teeth, the insulator moves in a direction for coming in close contact with a slot aperture, i.e., in a direction substantially at right angles to a direction in which the nozzle moves. This arrangement prevents the insulator from moving by being pushed by the nozzle, making it possible to minimize a chance of occurrence of an insulation failure caused by a damaged or dislocated insulator.
Abstract:
A motor is constructed such that the amplitude of a current phasor of each of the slots on a stator when three-phase sinusoidal current is applied to each phase of the motor in a permanent magnet synchronous motor and reluctance motor. The number of windings of each phase looped through each of the slots is determined such that a phase of each current phasor of each of the slots is coincident with a phase in terms of electrical degrees in a direction of rotor rotation of each of the slots. A center position of each magnetic pole of a rotor steel plate is shifted to the direction of rotor rotation by slot pitch/NRR, 2×slot pitch/NRR, 3×slot pitch/NRR, . . . , 1-slot pitch against a position divided equally into 360°/NRR, where NRR is the number of poles. The stator and the rotor are relatively skewed by the slot pitch/ NRR.

Abstract:
A dynamoelectric machine constructed for speed and accuracy of manufacturing has a stator core constructed of 90° symmetrical stator laminations and the windings have differing numbers of poles which overlap in slots of the stator core are wound of the core formed by the laminations in unique fashion. The rotor bars of the machine are skewed to optimize performance of the machine when in the form of a single phase induction motor. Magnet wire leads of the windings are connected directly to terminals on a plug and terminal assembly which is formed for positive location on an end frame of the machine without welding or other fastening to the end frame. The end frames of the machine and stator laminations forming the stator core are formed so as to increase the precision of the final position of the stator relative to the rotor assembly of the dynamoelectric machine. The end frames are constructed for grounding without the use of fasteners or wire. The engagement of the end frames with the stator core is employed as the basis for alignment of the machine components.

The motor can be integrated as a driver into an apparatus driving unit.

It is another object of this invention to provide an alternator for a vehicle which is excellent in cooling performance, insulating characteristic, and heat resisting property. An alternator for a vehicle includes a stator. The stator includes an iron core 22, an electric conductor 21, and an insulator 23. The electric conductor 21 forms a winding on the iron core 22.

The dimension of openings of slots in the iron core 22 is smaller than the distance between inner side surfaces of the slots. The electric conductor 21 has accommodated portions accommodated in the slots, and bridge portions connecting the accommodated portions. Pieces of the electric conductor which extend out of the slots are approximately separated into a conductor groups 21f located on outer radial sides of the slots and a conductor group 21g located on inner radial sides of the slots, and form the bridge portions. Predetermined gaps are provided between pieces of the electric conductor in the bridge portions. The bridge portions have ridge portions inclined in a same circumferential direction in each of the outer radial side and the inner radial side, and top portions connecting the ridge portions along an axial and radial direction.
