JP 2012-29370 A

  In rotating electrical machines such as those disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, generally, at one end side in the axial direction of the stator, a pair of element conductors to be connected (a pair of two element conductors whose connection order is adjacent in each phase coil). In many cases, all pairs of element conductors cannot be connected in the same form.

  In this case, for a specific pair of element conductors, a dedicated bridge conductor (for example, the crossover lines a, b, c, and d in Patent Document 1) is used separately from most other element conductor pairs. It is used to connect the particular two element conductor pairs.

  In addition, in addition to the bridge conductor, a neutral point forming conductor that is a common neutral point for the coils of a plurality of phases is usually disposed on one end side in the axial direction of the stator. The element conductors forming the end of the coil on the neutral point side are connected.

  Furthermore, a current conducting cord (lead wire) serving as an input / output portion for a current flowing through the coil is connected to an element conductor that forms an end portion on the opposite side to the neutral point of each phase coil.

  Here, on one end side of the stator in the axial direction, the bridge conductor is connected to the end of the element conductor to which the bridge conductor is connected, and the neutral conductor is connected to the end of the element conductor to which the neutral point forming conductor is connected. It is desirable to be able to efficiently perform the operation of connecting the sex point forming conductor and the operation of connecting the current conducting cord to the end of the element conductor to which the current conducting cord is to be connected.

  However, as can be seen from Patent Document 1, the conventional rotating electrical machines often do not satisfy such demands appropriately. For example, in the device disclosed in Patent Document 1, since the element conductors to which the bridge conductors are to be connected are distributed in the circumferential direction of the stator, the bridge conductors are connected to the element conductors by welding or the like from various directions. Work is required. For this reason, it is difficult to perform the connection work efficiently.

  The present invention has been made in view of such a background, and efficiently inserts bridge conductors, neutral point forming conductors, and current carrying cords into element conductors that are inserted into stator slots and constitute coils of each phase. An object of the present invention is to provide a rotating electrical machine having a structure that can be performed well.

In order to achieve this object, the rotating electrical machine of the present invention extends in the axial direction of the stator in each of a plurality of slots formed in the stator so as to be aligned in the circumferential direction of the stator, and the diameter of the stator. A rotating electrical machine that includes a plurality of element conductors inserted in a plurality of layers in a direction, and each of a plurality of coils for generating magnetic flux is configured by connecting a predetermined number of element conductors in series. There,

A neutral point forming conductor common to the plurality of phases connecting the end portions of the D element conductor,
The C-th element conductor and the D-th element conductor of the coil of each phase are arranged on the outermost layer in the radial direction of the stator, and the C-th element conductor and the D-th element conductor are arranged on the axis of the stator. Is bent in a first direction which is a predetermined one of the circumferential directions of the stator at one end side of the direction,
The A-th element conductor and the B-th element conductor of the coils of each phase are arranged in the inner layer of the outermost layer in the radial direction of the stator, and the stator at one end side in the axial direction of the stator. Is bent in a second direction which is a direction opposite to the first direction in the circumferential direction of
The end portions of the A-th element conductor and the B-th element conductor of each phase coil on one end side in the axial direction of the stator are either one of the C-th element conductor and the D-th element conductor of the coil of any phase. It is arrange | positioned so that the edge part may oppose in the radial direction of the said stator (1st invention).

  According to the first aspect of the invention, the A element conductor and the B element conductor of each phase coil are opposite to the first direction in the circumferential direction of the stator on one end side in the axial direction of the stator. It is bent in the direction, that is, the direction opposite to the bending direction of the C-element conductor and the D-element conductor of each phase coil.

  And in this state where the A-th element conductor, B-th element conductor, C-th element conductor and D-th element conductor are folded, the A-th element conductor of each phase coil on one end side in the axial direction of the stator and Since each end of the B element conductor is disposed so as to be opposed to either end of the C element conductor and the D element conductor of the coil of any phase in the radial direction of the stator, Ends (ends on one end side in the axial direction of the stator) of the A-th element conductor, B-th element conductor, C-th element conductor and D-th element conductor of each phase coil are placed on one end side in the axial direction of the stator. Thus, it can be arranged in a concentrated manner in a relatively narrow range in the circumferential direction of the stator.

  Therefore, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the bridge conductor is connected to the ends of the A-element conductor and the B-element conductor of each phase coil, and the current carrying cord is connected to the end of the C-element conductor. It is possible to efficiently perform the operation and the operation of connecting the neutral point forming conductor to the end portion of the D-th element conductor on one end side in the axial direction of the stator.

  In addition, by concentrating the bridge conductor, the neutral point forming conductor, and the connecting portion of the current carrying cord on one end side in the axial direction of the stator, the length in the axial direction of the rotating electrical machine is made as short as possible, and the rotation It is possible to reduce the size of the electric machine.

  In the first aspect of the invention, the end positions of the A-element conductor and the B-element of each phase coil on one end side in the axial direction of the stator are such that the height position in the axial direction of the stator is the stator. It is preferable that they are arranged so as to be at a different height from the end of the C element conductor or the end of the D element conductor facing each other in the radial direction (second invention).

  According to the second invention, when the bridge conductor is connected to the coil A-element conductor and B-element conductor of each phase, the A-element conductor and the B-element conductor are opposed to each other in the radial direction of the stator. Current carrying cords or neutral point forming conductors connected to the end portions of the C-element conductor or D-element conductor, respectively, or the ends of the C-element conductor or D-element conductor of the coils of each phase When the current conducting cord or the neutral point forming conductor is connected to each of the parts, the A element conductor and the B element conductor facing the C element conductor or the D element conductor in the radial direction of the stator It is possible to prevent the previously connected bridge conductor from interfering.

  For this reason, it becomes possible to perform these connection operations smoothly.

  In the second aspect of the invention, the end positions of the C-element conductor and the D-element conductor of the coils of each phase on one end side in the axial direction of the stator are all at the height position in the axial direction of the stator. The end portions of the A-element conductor and the B-element of the coil of each phase on one end side in the axial direction of the stator are arranged in the axial direction of the stator. The height positions are the same in all phases, and the thicknesses of the bridge conductors in the axial direction of the stator are from the ends of the C-element conductor and D-element conductor of the coils of each phase. It is preferable that they are arranged at a higher position (third invention).

  Note that “the thickness of the bridge conductor” means a thickness including an insulating member (insulating film or the like) provided around the bridge conductor.

  According to the third aspect of the invention, after the bridge conductor is connected, the connection of the current conducting cord and the neutral point forming conductor can be easily and smoothly performed from the outside in the radial direction of the stator. In addition, the overall height of the bridge conductor, the connection portion of the current conducting wire to the end of the C-th element conductor, and the neutral point forming conductor (height in the axial direction of the stator) can be suppressed as low as possible. As a result, it is possible to reduce the size of the rotating electrical machine.

  In the first to third aspects of the invention, the neutral point forming conductor has a connection portion that is a portion connected to an end portion of the D-element conductor of the coil of each phase with a gap in the circumferential direction of the stator. And a portion between the connection portions adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction is formed to be convex in the radial direction of the stator, and the coils of the respective phases on one end side in the axial direction of the stator. The end of at least one C element conductor among the ends of the C element conductor is opposed to the convex portion of the neutral point forming conductor in the radial direction of the stator, and the C element It is preferable that the current conducting cord is connected to an end portion of the conductor (fourth invention).

  According to the fourth aspect of the invention, the end of at least one C element conductor among the ends of the C element conductors of the coils of the respective phases on one end side in the axial direction of the stator has the neutrality. It faces the convex portion of the point forming conductor in the radial direction of the stator. For this reason, the current carrying cord connected to the end portion of the C-th element conductor can be wired without interfering with the neutral point forming conductor at the convex portion of the neutral point forming conductor.

  As a result, it is possible to arrange the midpoint forming conductor and the connection portion of the current conducting cord (connection portion to the C-th element conductor) close to each other. In addition, the neutral point forming conductor has a shape that can be easily grasped by a robot hand or the like, and the operation of connecting the neutral point forming member to the end of the D-th element conductor can be facilitated.

  Therefore, according to the fourth aspect of the present invention, it is possible to further improve the work efficiency of the connection work of the midpoint forming conductor and the connection work of the current conducting cord.

In the first to fourth aspects of the invention, when the coils of the plurality of phases are composed of coils of the first phase, the second phase, and the third phase, the coils of the respective phases on one end side in the axial direction of the stator. When the end of the A-th element conductor and the end of the B-th element conductor are defined as the a-th end and the b-th end, respectively, the a-th of the first-phase, second-phase, and third-phase coils. The end portion and the b-th end portion are the a-th end portion of the first-phase coil, the a-th end portion of the second-phase coil, the b-th end portion of the first-phase coil in the circumferential direction of the stator, The a-phase end of the three-phase coil, the b-th end of the second-phase coil, and the b-th end of the third-phase coil are arranged in this order,
The bridge conductor connecting the a-th end and the b-th end of the first-phase coil and the bridge conductor connecting the a-th end and the b-th end of the third-phase coil are the shafts of the stator. When seen in the direction, it is formed in a convex shape on one side of the radial direction of the stator,
The bridge conductor connecting the a-th end portion and the b-th end portion of the second phase coil is formed in a convex shape on the other radial side of the stator when viewed in the axial direction of the stator. It is preferable (5th invention).

  According to the fifth aspect of the invention, on one end side in the axial direction of the stator, the bridge conductors of the first to third phase coils are arranged close to each other so as not to overlap in the axial direction of the stator. can do. Further, the bridge conductors of the respective phases can be arranged at the height position close to the stator as much as possible in the axial direction of the stator.

  Further, the bridge conductor of the second phase coil is formed in a convex shape opposite to the bridge conductor of the first phase and third phase coils in the radial direction of the stator. However, a small width in the radial direction of the stator is sufficient.

  For this reason, even if the space | interval between the internal peripheral surface of a stator and an outer peripheral surface is comparatively small, it can prevent that the bridge | bridging conductor of either phase protrudes inside a stator. As a result, the bridge conductors of the coils of the respective phases can be arranged in a range between the inner peripheral surface and the outer peripheral surface of the stator when viewed in the axial direction of the stator. Therefore, according to the fifth aspect of the invention, it is possible to realize an appropriate configuration for reducing the size of the rotating electrical machine.

  Furthermore, each bridge conductor has a shape that can be easily gripped by a robot hand or the like, and the work of connecting each bridge conductor to the end portions of the A-th element conductor and the B-th element conductor can be facilitated.

And having a portion connecting one end portions of the two leg portions as a portion forming a first crossing portion connecting the two element conductors of the element conductor pair on the other end side in the axial direction of the stator. It is composed of a bifurcated conductor member that is a bifurcated conductor that has been created,

It is connected at one end side in the axial direction of the stator by a second crossover part configured as a member connected to each other in a state bent in the circumferential direction of the stator so as to approach each other at one end side in the axial direction. ,
The ends of the A-th element conductor, B-th element conductor, C-th element conductor, and D-th element conductor on one end side in the axial direction of the stator are respectively connected to the A-th element conductor, the B-th element conductor, and the C-th element. The front end side portion of the bifurcated conductor member having leg portions forming the element conductor and the D-th element conductor is bent in the circumferential direction of the stator at one end side in the axial direction of the stator. It is preferably formed as the tip of the leg (sixth invention).

  According to the sixth aspect of the present invention, by inserting the two leg portions of the bifurcated conductor member, the element conductor pair formed by the leg portions is the first bridging portion on the other end side in the axial direction of the stator. Therefore, the connection work of the element conductor pair on the other end side in the axial direction is not necessary.

  Further, on one end side in the axial direction of the stator, except for the connection of the A-th element conductor and the B-th element conductor, the tip side portion of one leg portion of the bifurcated conductor member constituting the first element conductor pair and the first By connecting the front end side portion of one leg portion of the bifurcated conductor member constituting the two-element conductor pair with each other in a state of being bent in the circumferential direction of the stator so as to approach each other at one end side in the axial direction of the stator. The one element conductor of the first element conductor pair is connected to one element conductor of the second element conductor pair whose connection order is adjacent to the element conductor. For this reason, the connection can be easily performed, and the second transition portion constituted by the connection can be brought close to one end portion in the axial direction of the stator.

  Further, the respective end portions of the A element conductor, the B element conductor, the C element conductor, and the D element conductor on one end side in the axial direction of the stator are respectively connected to the A element conductor, the B element conductor, and the C element. It is formed as the tip of the leg in a state where the tip of the leg that forms the conductor and the D-th element conductor is bent.

  For this reason, a bridge conductor connected to each end of the A-th element conductor and the B-th element conductor, a connection part of the current carrying cord to the C-element conductor, and a connection to the end part of the D-element conductor of each phase It is possible to easily realize a configuration in which the neutral point forming conductor to be disposed is disposed close to one end portion in the axial direction of the stator.

A pair of element conductors 31 and 31 having an interval) (specifically, a pair of 4n + 1 and 4n + 2 element conductors 31 and 31 and a pair of 4n + 3 and 4n + 4 element conductors 31 and 31) are connected. As a pair of the first element conductor 31 and the second element conductor 31 on one end side in the axial direction of the stator 11 (hereinafter referred to as the first end side in the axial direction), a first crossing portion 43 (details will be described later) is provided. Connected (see FIG. 5A).

  In addition, a pair of element conductors 31 and 31 (specifically, 4n + 2) of the layers having a first predetermined interval (six-slot pitch interval) in the circumferential direction of the stator 11 and adjacent in the radial direction of the stator 11. The 4th and 4n + 3th element conductors 31 and 31 and the 4n ′ + 4th and 4 (n ′ + 1) + 1th (where n ′ = 0, 1,..., 4) element conductors 31 and 31 ) Is a pair of two first element conductors 31, 31 to be connected or a pair of two second element conductors 31, 31, and the other end side in the axial direction of the stator 11 (hereinafter, the second end side in the axial direction). Thus, the connection is made via the second crossing section 44 (details will be described later) (see FIG. 5A).

  In FIG. 5A, for convenience of illustration, the first transition part 43 is indicated by a solid line, and the second transition part 44 is indicated by a broken line.

  Thereby, the element conductors 31 constituting the 1-24 partial coil are connected in series so as to be sequentially conducted in a pattern as illustrated in FIG. Thereby, a 1-24 partial coil is comprised. In this case, when a group formed by connecting the first to fourth element conductors 31, 31, 31, 31 in series as described above is regarded as one element conductor group, there are six 1-24 partial coils. The element conductor groups are connected to each other at a 12-slot pitch interval (2 × first predetermined interval) toward the circumferential positive side of the stator 11.

  Supplementally, in the present embodiment, the second end side in the axial direction of the stator 11 corresponds to one end side in the axial direction of the stator in the present invention.

  Next, the 25th to 48th element conductors 31 constituting the 25-48 partial coil of the first coil 21X1 are 4n + 25th (n = 0) as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 or FIG. , 1,..., 5) are located in the sixth layer of one slot 12, and the next 4n + 26th element conductor 31 is circumferential from the slot 12 in which the 4n + 25th element conductor 31 is arranged. Located on the second layer of the slot 12 having the second predetermined interval (interval of 5 slot pitch) on the positive side (four layers from the 4n + 25th element conductor 31, radially inner layer), and next The 4n + 27th element conductor 31 has a first layer (4n + 2) of the slot 12 having the first predetermined interval (interval of 6 slot pitch) on the circumferential positive side from the slot 12 where the 4n + 26th element conductor 31 is arranged. The next 4n + 28th element conductor 31 is positioned on the negative side in the circumferential direction from the slot 12 where the 4n + 27th element conductor 31 is disposed. It is arranged so as to be located in the fifth layer of the slot 12 having the second predetermined interval (interval of 5 slot pitch) (four layers from the 4n + 27th element conductor 31 and the layer radially outside).

  In FIG. 5A, the 25th to 29th element conductors 31 are 4n + 25th, 4n + 26th, 4n + 27th, 4n + 28th, 4 (n + 1) + 29th (where n = 0) element conductors, respectively. 31 is shown as an example.

  In this case, the slots 12 in which the 4n + 25th to 4n + 28th element conductors 31 are respectively arranged are the same as the slots 12 in which the 4n + 1th, 4n + 2, 4n + 3th, and 4n + 4th element conductors 31 are arranged.

  The 4n + 25th and 4n + 28th element conductors 31 are element conductors (first element conductors) of the first element conductor group, and the 4n + 26th and 4n + 27th element conductors 31 are element conductors (second element conductors of the second element conductor group). Element conductor). Accordingly, in the 25-48 partial coil, each of the first element conductors 31 is arranged in the fifth layer or the sixth layer, and each of the second element conductors 31 is arranged in the first layer or the second layer. .

  For this reason, the arrangement of the element conductor 31 in the 25-48 partial coil is an arrangement in which the entire element conductor 31 of the 1-24 partial coil is shifted by two layers inward in the radial direction of the stator 11.

  As in the case of the 1-24 partial coil, the 25th to 48th element conductors 31 have a second predetermined interval (interval of 5 slot pitch) in the circumferential direction of the stator 11, and the stator 11 A pair of element conductors 31 and 31 having a predetermined interval (an interval of four layers) in the radial direction (specifically, a pair of 4n + 25th and 4n + 26th element conductors 31, 31 and 4n + 27th and 4n + 28th) A pair of element conductors 31, 31) is connected as a pair of the first element conductor 31 and the second element conductor 31 to be connected via the first crossing portion 43 on the first end side in the axial direction of the stator 11. (See FIG. 5 (a)).

  In addition, a pair of element conductors 31 and 31 (specifically, 4n + 26) of layers adjacent to each other in the radial direction of the stator 11 and having a first predetermined interval (six-slot pitch interval) in the circumferential direction of the stator 11. The 4th and 4n + 27th element conductors 31 and 31 and the 4n ′ + 28th and 4n ′ + 29th (where n ′ = 0, 1,..., 4) pairs of element conductors 31 and 31 are connected. As a pair of two first element conductors 31, 31 of interest or a pair of two second element conductors 31, 31, they are connected via a second crossover 44 on the second end side in the axial direction of the stator 11. (See FIG. 5 (b)).

  Thereby, the element conductors 31 constituting the 25-48 partial coil are connected in series so as to be sequentially conducted in the same pattern as in the case of the 1-24 partial coil, as illustrated in FIG. 5B. This constitutes a 25-48 partial coil.

  In this case, when a group formed by connecting the 25th to 28th element conductors 31, 31, 31, 31 in series as described above is regarded as one unit element conductor group, there are six 25-48 partial coils. The element conductor groups are connected to each other at a 12-slot pitch interval (2 × first predetermined interval) toward the circumferential positive side of the stator 11.

  As shown in FIG. 7A, the 24th element conductor 31 of the 1-24 partial coil and the 25th element conductor 31 of the 25-48 partial coil are first in the circumferential direction of the stator 11. They are arranged in slots 12 and 12 having a predetermined interval (six-slot pitch interval), and are positioned in layers (seventh layer and sixth layer) adjacent in the radial direction of the stator 11, respectively. The element conductors 31 are connected to each other on the second end side in the axial direction of the stator 11 via the second crossing portion 44. This connects the 25-48 partial coil in series with the 1-24 partial coil.

  Next, the 49th to 72nd element conductors 31 constituting the 49-72 partial coil of the first coil 21X1 are 4n + 49th (n = 0) as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 or FIG. , 1,..., 5) are located in the fifth layer of one slot 12, and the next 4n + 50th element conductor 31 is circumferential from the slot 12 in which the 4n + 49th element conductor 31 is arranged. Located on the first layer of the slot 12 having the second predetermined interval (interval of 5 slot pitch) on the positive side (four layers from the 4n + 49th element conductor 31, the radially inner layer), and the next The second layer (4n + 5) of the slot 12 having the first predetermined interval (interval of 6 slot pitch) on the negative side in the circumferential direction from the slot 12 where the 4n + 50th element conductor 31 is arranged. The next 4n + 52th element conductor 31 is positioned on the radially negative side from the slot 12 in which the 4n + 51th element conductor 31 is arranged. The slots are arranged so as to be located in the sixth layer of the slot 12 having the second predetermined interval (interval of 5 slot pitch) (four layers from the 4n + 51th element conductor 31 and the layer radially outside).

  In FIG. 6A, the 49th to 52nd element conductors 31 are shown as examples of the 4n + 49th, 4n + 50th, 4n + 51th, 4n + 52th element conductors 31 (where n = 0), respectively. Yes.

  In this case, due to the above-described arrangement of the 4n + 49th to 4n + 52th element conductors 31, the slot 12 in which the 4n + 51th element conductor 31 is arranged is negative in the circumferential direction with respect to the slot 12 in which the 4n + 49th element conductor 31 is arranged. One slot pitch interval (the difference interval between the first predetermined interval and the second predetermined interval) is provided on the side. Furthermore, the slot 12 in which the 4n + 52th element conductor 31 is disposed has a first predetermined interval (interval of 6 slot pitch) on the negative side in the circumferential direction with respect to the slot 12 in which the 4n + 49th element conductor 31 is disposed. It will be.

  The 49th element conductor 31 of the first coil 21X1 is the same layer (fifth layer) as the 48th element conductor 31 shown in white, as can be seen with reference to FIG. 31 is arranged in the slot 12 having a 5-slot pitch interval (second predetermined interval) on the negative side in the circumferential direction.

  Here, the 4n + 49th and 4n + 52th element conductors 31 are element conductors (first element conductors) of the first element conductor group, and the 4n + 50th and 4n + 51th element conductors 31 are element conductors (first element conductors) of the second element conductor group. Two-element conductor). Accordingly, in the 49-52 partial coil, each of the first element conductors 31 is disposed in the fifth layer or the sixth layer, and each of the second element conductors 31 is disposed in the first layer or the second layer. .

  The 49th to 72nd element conductors 31 have a second predetermined interval (interval of 5 slot pitch) in the circumferential direction of the stator 11 and a predetermined interval (equivalent to four layers) in the radial direction of the stator 11. A pair of element conductors 31 and 31 having an interval (specifically, a pair of 4n + 49th and 4n + 50th element conductors 31 and 31 and 4n + 51th and 4n + 52th element conductors 31 and 31) are connected. As a pair of the first element conductor 31 and the second element conductor 31, they are connected to each other on the first end side in the axial direction of the stator 11 via the first crossover portion 43 (see FIG. 6A).

  Further, a pair of element conductors 31 and 31 (specifically, 4n + 50) in layers adjacent to each other in the radial direction of the stator 11 and having a first predetermined interval (six-slot pitch interval) in the circumferential direction of the stator 11. The 4th and 4n + 51th element conductors 31 and 31 and the 4n ′ + 52th and 4n ′ + 53th (where n ′ = 0, 1,..., 4) pairs of element conductors 31 and 31 are connected. A pair of two first element conductors 31, 31 of interest or a pair of two second element conductors 31, 31 are connected via a second crossover 44 on the second end side in the axial direction of the stator 11. (See FIG. 6 (a)).

  In FIG. 6A, as in FIG. 5A, the first transition portion 44 is indicated by a solid line and the second transition portion 44 is indicated by a broken line.

  Thus, the element conductors 31 constituting the 49-72 partial coil are connected in series so as to be sequentially conducted in a pattern as illustrated in FIG. This constitutes a 49-72 partial coil. In this case, when a group formed by connecting the 49th to 53rd element conductors 31, 31, 31, 31 in series as described above is regarded as one unit element conductor group, six 49-72 partial coils are provided. The element conductor groups are connected to each other at a 12-slot pitch interval (2 × first predetermined interval) toward the circumferential negative side of the stator 11 (opposite to the case of the 1-48 partial coil). The

  As will be described in detail later, the 48th element conductor 31 and the 49th element conductor 31 of the first coil 21X1 are on the second end side in the axial direction of the stator 11 for each phase, as shown in FIG. Are connected via a bridge conductor 51X (51U or 51V or 51W). This connects the 49-72 partial coil in series with the 25-48 partial coil.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 or FIG. 6A, the 73rd to 96th element conductors 31 constituting the 73-96 partial coil of the first coil 21X1 are 4n + 73th (n = 0). , 1,..., 5) are located in the seventh layer of one slot 12, and the next 4n + 74th element conductor 31 is circumferential from the slot 12 in which the 4n + 73th element conductor 31 is arranged. Located on the third layer of the slot 12 having the second predetermined interval (interval of 5 slot pitch) on the positive side (four layers from the 4n + 73th element conductor 31, radially inner layer), the next The fourth layer (4n + 7) of the slot 12 having the 4n + 75th element conductor 31 having the first predetermined interval (interval of 6 slot pitch) on the negative side in the circumferential direction from the slot 12 where the 4n + 74th element conductor 31 is disposed. The next 4n + 76th element conductor 31 is positioned on the radially outer side from the slot 12 in which the 4n + 75th element conductor 31 is arranged. It is arranged so as to be located in the eighth layer of the slot 12 having the second predetermined interval (interval of 5 slot pitch) (four layers from the 4n + 75th element conductor 31 and the layer radially outside).

  In FIG. 6A, the 73rd to 76th element conductors 31 are shown as examples of the 4n + 73th, 4n + 74th, 4n + 75th, 4n + 76th (where n = 0) element conductors 31, respectively. Yes.

  In this case, the slots 12 in which the 4n + 73th to 4n + 76th element conductors 31 are arranged are the same as the slots 12 in which the 4n + 49th, 4n + 50th, 4n + 51th, and 4n + 52th element conductors 31 are arranged, respectively.

  The 4n + 73th and 4n + 76th element conductors 31 are element conductors (first element conductors) of the first element conductor group, and the 4n + 74th and 4n + 75th element conductors 31 are element conductors (second element conductors of the second element conductor group). Element conductor). Accordingly, in the 73-96 partial coil, each of the first element conductors 31 is disposed on the seventh layer or the eighth layer, and each of the second element conductors 31 is disposed on the third layer or the fourth layer. .

  For this reason, the arrangement of the element conductor 31 in the 73-96 partial coil is an arrangement in which the entire element conductor 31 of the 49-72 partial coil is shifted by two layers outward in the radial direction of the stator 11.

  As in the case of the 49-72 partial coil, the 73rd to 96th element conductors 31 have a second predetermined interval (interval of 5 slot pitch) in the circumferential direction of the stator 11, and the stator 11 A pair of element conductors 31 and 31 having a predetermined interval (an interval corresponding to four layers) in the radial direction (specifically, a pair of 4n + 73th and 4n + 74th element conductors 31, 31 and 4n + 75th and 4n + 76th) A pair of element conductors 31, 31) is connected as a pair of a first element conductor 31 and a second element conductor 31 to be connected to each other on the first end side in the axial direction of the stator 11 via a first crossover 43. (See FIG. 6 (a)).

  In addition, a pair of element conductors 31 and 31 (specifically, 4n + 74) of layers having a first predetermined interval (six-slot pitch interval) in the circumferential direction of the stator 11 and adjacent in the radial direction of the stator 11. The 4th and 4n + 75th element conductors 31 and 31 and the 4n ′ + 76th and 4n ′ + 77th (where n ′ = 0, 1,..., 4) pairs of element conductors 31 and 31 are connected. A pair of two first element conductors 31, 31 of interest or a pair of two second element conductors 31, 31 are connected via a second crossover 44 on the second end side in the axial direction of the stator 11. (See FIG. 6 (a)).

  Thereby, the element conductors 31 constituting the 73-96 partial coil are connected in series so as to be sequentially conducted in the same pattern as in the case of the 49-72 partial coil, as illustrated in FIG. 6B. This constitutes a 73-96 partial coil.

  In this case, when the group formed by connecting the 73rd to 76th element conductors 31, 31, 31, 31 in series as described above is regarded as one unit element conductor group, there are six 73-96 partial coils. The element conductor groups are connected at a 12-slot pitch interval (2 × first predetermined interval) toward the circumferential negative side of the stator 11.

  As shown in FIG. 7B, the 72nd element conductor 31 of the 49-72 partial coil and the 73rd element conductor 31 of the 73-96 partial coil are first in the circumferential direction of the stator 11. They are arranged in slots 12 and 12 having a predetermined interval (six-slot pitch interval) and are located in layers (sixth layer and seventh layer) that are adjacent in the radial direction of the stator 11. The element conductors 31 are connected to each other on the second end side in the axial direction of the stator 11 via the second crossing portion 44. This connects the 73-96 partial coil in series with the 49-72 partial coil.

  The above is the overall arrangement and connection form of the element conductors 31 constituting the first coil 21X1 of each phase.

  The first coils 21U1, 21V1, and 21W1 of the U phase, V phase, and W phase are arranged as follows. That is, as can be seen with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, the k-th (k = 1, 2,..., 96) element conductor 31 of the V-phase first coil 21V1 is connected to the U-phase first coil 21U1. From the slot 12 in which the k-th element conductor 31 is disposed, the slot 12 is disposed on the positive side in the circumferential direction of the stator 11 and has a 4-slot pitch.

  Similarly, the k-th (k = 1, 2,..., 96) element conductor 31 of the W-phase first coil 21W1 is the slot 12 in which the k-th element conductor 31 of the V-phase first coil 21V1 is disposed. To the slot 12 having a 4-slot pitch interval on the positive side in the circumferential direction of the stator 11.

  Accordingly, the first coils 21U1, 21V1, and 21W1 of the U phase, V phase, and W phase are arranged in the circumferential direction of the stator 11 so as to be sequentially shifted at intervals of 4 slot pitches.

  Next, the second coil 21X2 for each phase will be described. Similarly to the case of the first coil 21X1, the second coil 21X2 of each phase includes a 1-24 partial coil formed by connecting the first to 24th element conductors 31 in series and the 25th to 48th element conductors. 25-48 partial coil formed by connecting 31 in series, 49-72 partial coil formed by connecting 49th to 72nd element conductors 31 in series, and 73th to 96th element conductors 31 in series. The connected 73-96 partial coils are connected in series.

  The arrangement and connection form of the element conductors 31 of the second coil 21X2 are the same as in the case of the first coil 21X1, the form in the 1-24 partial coil, the form in the 25-48 partial coil, and the form in the 49-72 partial coil. It is divided roughly into the form and the form in the 73-96 partial coil.

  Further, the element conductors 31 (24 element conductors 31) constituting the partial coils of the second coil 21X2 are arranged at the first predetermined interval in the circumferential direction of the stator 11 as in the case of the first coil 21X1. A first element conductor group constituted by a plurality of element conductors 31 (first element conductors) respectively inserted into a plurality of slots 12 arranged at a pitch (6 slot pitch), and element conductors 31 of the first element conductor group are inserted. A plurality of elements respectively inserted into the plurality of slots 12 arranged in the circumferential direction at the first predetermined interval pitch (6 slot pitch) in a state where the phase is shifted in the circumferential direction of the stator 11 with respect to the slot 12 It is comprised from the 2nd element conductor group comprised by the conductor 31 (2nd element conductor).

  In this case, the arrangement and connection form of the first to 48th element conductors 31 (element conductors 31 constituting the 1-24 partial coil and the 25-48 partial coil) of the second coil 21X2, and the 49th to 96th elements The arrangement and connection form of the element conductor 31 (the element conductor 31 constituting the 49-72 partial coil and the 73-96 partial coil) are the same as those of the first coil 21X1.

  Accordingly, also in the second coil 21X2, the element conductor 31 of the first element conductor group is inserted into the slot 12 (second slot) in which the element conductor 31 of the second element conductor group constituting each partial coil is inserted. This is a slot whose phase is shifted to the circumferential positive side of the stator 11 by a second predetermined interval (interval of 5 slot pitch) smaller than the first predetermined interval with respect to the slot 12 (first slot).

  In each of the 1-24 partial coil, 25-48 partial coil, 49-72 partial coil, and 73-96 partial coil of the second coil 21X2, each first element conductor 31 is the same as in the case of the first coil 21X1. Similarly, it is arranged in a layer (any one of the fifth to eighth layers) on the outer side in the radial direction of the stator 11. Further, each second element conductor 31 is arranged in a layer (any one of the first to fourth layers) closer to the radially inner side of the stator 11 as in the case of the first coil 21X1.

  However, in the 2nd coil 21X2, the space | interval (space | interval in the circumferential direction of the stator 11) between the 48th and 49th element conductors 31 and 31 differs from 1st coil 21X1.

  Specifically, as can be seen with reference to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the first to 48th element conductors 31 of the second coil 21X2 are respectively in the first coil 21X1 in phase with the second coil 21X2. The first to 48th element conductors 31 are arranged in the slots 12 adjacent to the circumferential direction positive side with respect to the slots 12 arranged respectively.

  That is, the first to 48th element conductors 31 (element conductors 31 constituting the 1-24 partial coil and the 25-48 partial coil) of the second coil 21X2 are entirely composed of the first to 48th elements of the first coil 21X1. The first element conductor 31 is arranged at a position shifted by one slot pitch on the positive side in the circumferential direction.

  On the other hand, the 49th to 96th element conductors 31 of the second coil 21X2 are respectively on the negative side in the circumferential direction with respect to the slot 12 in which the 49th to 96th element conductors 31 of the first coil 21X1 are arranged. Arranged in adjacent slots 12.

  That is, the 49th to 96th element conductors 31 (element conductors 31 constituting the 49-72 partial coil and the 73-96 partial coil) of the second coil 21X2 are entirely composed of the 49th to 96th elements of the first coil 21X1. The entire first element conductor 31 is disposed at a position shifted by one slot pitch on the negative side in the circumferential direction.

  Therefore, as can be seen with reference to FIG. 8, the interval between the 48th and 49th element conductors 31, 31 (interval in the circumferential direction of the stator 11) is an interval of 5 slot pitch in the first coil 21X1. In contrast, the second coil 21X2 has a 7-slot pitch.

  As will be described in detail later, the 48th and 49th element conductors 31 and 31 of the second coil 21X2 are bridge conductors on the second end side in the axial direction of the stator 11 for each phase, as shown in FIG. It is connected via 52X (52U or 52V or 52W).

  The arrangement and connection form of the first to 96th element conductors 31 of the second coil 21X2 are the same as those of the first coil 21X1 except for the matters described above. The mutual arrangement form of the second coils 21U2, 21V2, and 21W2 of the U phase, V phase, and W phase is the same as the mutual arrangement form of the first coils 21U1, 21V1, and 21W1.

  Next, the connection structure of the element conductors 31 and 31 in each of the first coil 21X1 and the second coil 21X2 of each phase (structure of the first transition part 43 and the second transition part 44) will be described more specifically.

  In this embodiment, each element conductor 31 is formed as a part of the segment conductor 40 shown to Fig.9 (a), (b). The segment conductor 40 is a bundle of four bifurcated conductor members 41 that respectively form a pair of element conductors 31, 31 (a pair of the first element conductor 31 and the second element conductor 31) connected by the first bridging portion 43. .

  The segment conductor 40 is formed into a bifurcated shape (substantially U-shaped) as shown in FIG. 9A by arranging a conductor wire bundle in which four conductor wires insulated from each other are aligned in a row in the transverse direction. It was created by. Each of the four forked conductor wires constituting the segment conductor 40 is a forked conductor member 41.

  Each bifurcated conductor member 41 of the segment conductor 40 is formed into a bifurcated shape, so that two leg portions 42 and 42 inserted into different slots 12 and 12 of the stator 11, and the leg portions 42 and 42. In this structure, the first transition part 43 is integrally formed as a part for connecting the base end parts.

  One leg portion 42 of the two leg portions 42 and 42 of each bifurcated conductor member 41 is a leg portion for forming one first element conductor 31 (hereinafter referred to as a first element conductor forming leg portion 42). That is). Further, the other leg portion 42 of each bifurcated conductor member 41 has a leg portion (hereinafter referred to as a second element conductor 31) to be connected to the first element conductor 31 formed by the one leg portion 42. The second element conductor forming leg portion 42).

  In this case, the segment conductor 40 extends in the axial direction of the stator 11 with the two leg portions 42 and 42 of each bifurcated conductor member 41 having a predetermined interval in the circumferential direction and the radial direction of the stator 11. It is shaped as follows. As shown in FIG. 5A or 6A, the interval between the leg portions 42 in the circumferential direction of the stator 11 is the second predetermined interval (interval of 5 slot pitch).

  Further, the distance between the leg portions 42 in the radial direction of the stator 11 is an interval corresponding to four layers as shown in FIG. 5A or 6A.

Further, in the other slot 12 of the two slots 12 and 12 (the slot 12 having the second predetermined interval on the circumferential positive side from the one slot 12), the second element conductor forming leg 42 bundles the first slot 12. A bundle of the first to fourth layer second element conductors 31 is formed.

  The element conductors 31 of the first layer to the fourth layer are respectively in the axial direction of the stator 11 with the element conductors 31 of the fifth layer to the eighth layer having an interval of four layers in the radial direction of the stator 11.

The first element conductor 31 includes the element conductors 31 and 31 that are adjacent to each other in the connection order among the pair of the first element conductor 31 and the second element conductor 31 that are connected by the first crossing portion 43. And two pairs of second element conductors 31 (for example, a pair of 4n + 1 and 4n + 2 element conductors 31, 31 and a pair of 4n + 3th and 4n + 4th element conductors 31, 31) are the first element conductors in the present invention. The pair corresponds to a second element conductor pair.

  The pair of the 48th and 49th element conductors 31, 31 is a pair of first element conductors arranged in the fifth layer in both the first coil 21X1 and the second coil 21X2. As described above, the 48th and 49th element conductors 31 and 31 are arranged in the slots 12 and 12 having an interval of 5 slots in the circumferential direction of the stator 11 in the first coil 21X1, and the second coil 21X2 is arranged in slots 12 and 12 having a 7-slot pitch in the circumferential direction of the stator 11.

  In addition, the second crossing member 44 of each bifurcated conductor member 41 of each segment conductor 40 is bent by the second transition portion 44 (bending in the circumferential direction of the stator 11), and the second and second element conductors 31 and 31 connected to the 48th and 49th element conductors 31 and 31, respectively. As shown in FIG. 8, the crossover portions 44, 44 are both bent to the circumferential positive side.

  In FIG. 8, for convenience of illustration, the second transition portions 44, 44 connected to the 48th and 49th element conductors 31, 31, respectively, are illustrated in a state shifted from the actual position in the radial direction of the stator 11. Yes. These second crossing portions 44 and 44 are actually arranged at the same layer (fifth layer) position as the 48th and 49th element conductors 31 and 31 in the radial direction of the stator 11.

  Therefore, the leading ends of the second crossover portions 44, 44 connected to the 48th and 49th element conductors 31, 31, respectively, have an interval of about 5 slot pitch in the circumferential direction of the stator 11 in the first coil 21X1. The second coil 21X2 has an interval of about 7 slot pitch in the circumferential direction of the stator 11.

  Further, the leading ends of the second crossover portions 44, 44 connected to the 48th and 49th element conductors 31, 31 of the first coil 21X1 and the second coil 21X2 of each phase are in the order shown in FIG. 11 are arranged in the circumferential direction.

  Specifically, from the circumferential negative side of the stator 11 to the circumferential positive side, the second bridging portion 44 connected to the 49th element conductors 31 and 31 of the U-phase first coil 21X1 and second coil 21X2 respectively. , 44, a pair of tip portions of second crossover portions 44, 44 connected to the 49th element conductors 31, 31 of the V-phase first coil 21X1 and second coil 21X2, respectively, and a first U-phase portion. The pair of tip portions of the second crossover portions 44, 44 connected to the 48th element conductors 31, 31 of the coil 21X1 and the second coil 21X2, respectively, and the 49th element conductor of the W phase first coil 21X1 and second coil 21X2 The second bridge connected to the 48th element conductors 31, 31 of the pair of tip parts of the second bridge parts 44, 44 respectively connected to 31, 31 and the V-phase first coil 21X1 and second coil 21X2 A pair of tip portions of 44, 44 and a pair of tip portions of the second crossing portions 44, 44 connected to the 48th element conductors 31, 31 of the first coil 21X1 and the second coil 21X2 of the W phase are arranged in order. Yes.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, in the first coil 21X1 of each phase, the second bridging portions 44 and 44 connected to the 48th and 49th element conductors 31 and 31, respectively, are bridge conductors 51X (51U, 51V, and 51W). Connected through. Similarly, in the second coil 21X2, the second crossing portions 44 and 44 connected to the 48th and 49th element conductors 31 and 31 are connected to each other via a bridge conductor 52X (52U, 52V, and 52W).

  In this case, the bridge conductors 51 </ b> X and 52 </ b> X in each phase are between the front end portion of the second crossover portion 44 connected to the 48th element conductor 31 and the front end portion of the second crossover portion 44 connected to the 49th element conductor 31. Thus, a convex shape (specifically, a rectangular shape) is formed so as to project in the radial direction of the stator 11.

  Further, for each phase, the width of the bridge conductor 51X in the radial direction of the stator 11 is set so that the bridge conductor 51X of the first coil 21X1 fits inside the bridge conductor 52X of the second coil 21X2. The width of the bridge conductor 51X in the circumferential direction of the stator 11 is smaller than the width, and is smaller than the length of the bridge conductor 52X.

  The length of the bridge conductor 51X in the circumferential direction of the stator 11 is approximately the same as the distance between the 48th and 49th element conductors 31 and 31 of the first coil 21X1 (interval of 5 slot pitch). It is. The length of the bridge conductor 52X in the circumferential direction of the stator 11 is approximately the same as the distance between the 48th and 49th element conductors 31 and 31 of the second coil 21X2 (7-slot pitch interval). It is.

  In the following description, the width of the bridge conductors 51X and 52X in the radial direction of the stator 11 is referred to as the protruding height, and the length of the bridge conductors 51X and 52X in the circumferential direction of the stator 11 is referred to as the circumferential length.

  Then, for each phase, both end portions of the bridge conductor 51X are connected by welding to the tip portions of the second crossover portions 44 and 44 respectively connected to the 48th and 49th element conductors 31 and 31 of the first coil 21X1. The Similarly, both ends of the bridge conductor 52X are connected by welding to the distal ends of the second bridging portions 44 and 44 respectively connected to the 48th and 49th element conductors 31 and 31 of the second coil 21X2.

  In this case, in the present embodiment, the second transition portions 44, 44 connected to the 48th and 49th element conductors 31, 31 respectively have the respective leading ends of the bridge conductors 51 </ b> X, 52 </ b> X in the axial direction of the stator 11. It protrudes in the axial direction of the stator 11 by a length that is approximately the same as the width (thickness) than the tip of the second transition portion 44 that is continuous with the other element conductors 31 (the height in the axial direction increases). (See FIG. 11). The width (thickness) of the bridge conductors 51X and 52X in the axial direction of the stator 11 is a thickness including the thickness of an insulating member (insulating film or the like) provided around the bridge conductors 51X and 52X.

  For this reason, it is possible to easily weld the end portions of the bridge conductors 51 </ b> X and 52 </ b> X to the tip end portion of the 48th or 49th element conductor 31 from the radial direction of the stator 11.

  Further, in order to prevent the bridge conductors 51X and 52X of each phase from interfering with the bridge conductors 51X and 52X of other phases, the bridge conductors 51U and 52U of the U phase, the bridge conductors 51V and 52V of the V phase, Of the W-phase bridge conductors 51W and 52W, two phase bridge conductors located on both sides in the circumferential direction of the stator 11 and a bridge conductor located between the two-phase bridge conductors The bridge conductors 51X and 52X of the respective phases are formed so as to protrude in the opposite directions in the radial direction (being convex in the opposite direction in the radial direction).

  Specifically, in the present embodiment, the U-phase bridge conductors 51U and 52U, the V-phase bridge conductors 51V and 52V, and the W-phase bridge conductors 51W and 52W are arranged on both sides in the circumferential direction of the stator 11. The two phase bridge conductors positioned are the U-phase bridge conductors 51U and 52U and the W-phase bridge conductors 51W and 52W. In this case, the circumferentially positive end of the longer U-phase bridge conductor 52U and the circumferentially negative end of the longer W-phase bridge conductor 52W are spaced approximately 1 slot pitch apart. Have.

  The U-phase bridge conductors 51 </ b> U and 52 </ b> U and the W-phase bridge conductors 51 </ b> W and 52 </ b> W are formed so as to protrude (convex) inward in the radial direction of the stator 11.

  The V-phase bridge conductors 51V and 52V are located at the center in the circumferential direction between the U-phase bridge conductors 51U and 52U and the W-phase bridge conductors 51W and 52W.

  The V-phase bridge conductors 51V and 52V protrude (convex) in the radial direction outside the stator 11, that is, in the opposite direction to the U-phase bridge conductors 51U and 52U and the W-phase bridge conductors 51W and 52W. Is formed.

  The protruding heights of the U-phase bridge conductors 51U and 52U and the W-phase bridge conductors 51W and 52W projecting radially inward are such that these bridge conductors 51U, 52U, 51W and 52W are from the inner peripheral surface of the stator 11. The height is set so as not to protrude inward.

  The protruding heights of the V-phase bridge conductors 51V and 52V protruding outward in the radial direction are set to such a height that the bridge conductors 51V and 52V do not protrude outward from the outer peripheral surface of the stator 11. ing.

  Here, FIG. 10 shows a view of a part of the end portion on the second end side in the axial direction of the stator 11 to which the first coil 21X1 and the second coil 21X2 of each phase are mounted as viewed in the axial direction of the stator 11. FIG. 11 is a perspective view of a part of the end portion of the stator 11 on the second end side in the axial direction.

  As described above, the U-phase bridge conductors 51U and 52U, the V-phase bridge conductors 51V and 52V, and the W-phase bridge conductors 51W and 52W are arranged and formed, and can be seen in FIGS. Thus, the bridge conductors 51U, 52U, 51V, 52V, 51W, 52W can be prevented from interfering with each other.

  Further, the bridge conductors 51U, 52U, 51V, 52V, 51W, and 52W are located on the inner side or the outer peripheral surface of the stator 11 even when the distance between the inner peripheral surface and the outer peripheral surface of the stator 11 is relatively small. Is also prevented from projecting to the outside, and is disposed within the interval between the inner peripheral surface and the outer peripheral surface.

  Further, since the bridge conductors 51U, 52U, 51V, 52V, 51W, 52W are concentrated and arranged at locations close to each other on the second end side of the stator 11, these bridge conductors are welded to the crossover portion 44 by welding or the like. Connection work can be performed efficiently.

  Further, the height positions of the bridge conductors 51U, 52U, 51V, 52V, 51W, 52W in the axial direction of the stator 11 are the same for any bridge conductor. In addition, the height of the bridge conductor is higher by the thickness of the bridge conductor than the second bridge portion 44 connecting the pair of element conductors 31, 31 other than the 48th and 49th element conductors 31, 31. Since it is the position, it is sufficiently close to the end surface of the stator 11 on the second end side in the axial direction.

  For this reason, the axial length of the rotating electrical machine including the coils 21 </ b> X of each phase can be minimized and the rotating electrical machine can be reduced in size.

  In the present embodiment, the U-phase bridge conductors 51U and 52U and the W-phase bridge conductors 51W and 52W are formed so as to protrude (convex) to the inner side in the radial direction of the stator 11, respectively. The bridge conductors 51 </ b> V and 52 </ b> V are formed so as to protrude (convex) outward in the radial direction of the stator 11. However, the U-phase bridge conductors 51U and 52U and the W-phase bridge conductors 51W and 52W are formed so as to protrude outward in the radial direction of the stator 11, and the V-phase bridge conductors 51V and 52V are You may form so that it may protrude in the radial direction inner side.

  Supplementally, in each of the first coil 21X1 and the second coil 21X2 of each phase, the 48th and 49th element conductors 31 and 31 correspond to the A element conductor and the B element conductor in the present invention, respectively. .

The tip portions of the portions 44 and 44 correspond to the a-th end portion and the b-th end portion in the present invention.

  The element conductor 31 on one end side of each of the first coil 21X1 and the second coil 21X2 of each phase of the U phase, V phase, and W phase configured as described above is arranged in the axial direction of the stator 11 as described below. On the two end sides, they are mutually connected to the neutral point 22 common to the three phases. The element conductor 31 on the other end side of each phase of the first coil 21X1 and the second coil 21X2 has a current input / output terminal for each phase on the second end side in the axial direction of the stator 11, as will be described below. 23X.

  In the present embodiment, the element conductor 31 connected to the neutral point 22 is the 96th element conductor 31 in both the first coil 21X1 and the second coil 21X2 of each phase. The 96th element conductor 31 corresponds to the Dth element conductor in the present invention. And the neutral point 22 is comprised by the neutral point formation conductor 53 formed in the rectangular shape as shown in FIG. 8 or FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the neutral point forming conductor 53 has tips of second bridging portions 44 and 44 connected to the 96th element conductors 31 and 31 of the U-phase first coil 21U1 and second coil 21U2, respectively.

Are sequentially provided at regular intervals (intervals of about 4 slot pitches) toward the positive side in the circumferential direction of the stator 11.

  In FIG. 8, for convenience of illustration, each of the second transition portions 44 connected to the 96th element conductor 31 is indicated by a broken line and is illustrated in a state shifted from the actual position in the radial direction of the stator 11. . In practice, these second crossing portions 44 are arranged in the radial direction of the stator 11 at the same layer as the 96th element conductor 31 (the eighth layer which is the outermost layer).

  The neutral point forming conductor 53 includes a portion 53a between the U-phase connecting portion 53U and the V-phase connecting portion 53V adjacent in the circumferential direction of the stator 11, and a V-phase connecting portion 53V and a W-phase connecting portion 53W.
