Abstract:
1. A rotating electric machine armature core comprising a number of magnetic tooth sections that corresponds to the number of magnetic poles, each of said magnetic tooth sections being formed by laminating a specific number of sheet members each of which has a magnetic tooth portion formed at one end and a back yoke portion formed at the other end, said magnetic tooth sections being combined in a radial form centering on said other end and fixedly joined together to form a single body, each of said magnetic tooth sections including: a plurality of first sheet members each of which includes said magnetic tooth portion formed at one end and a root portion formed at the other end with an end face of the root portion having a prescribed external shape; and at least one second sheet member inserted between individual first sheet members in a laminating direction thereof at a location different from the locations of said other sheet members, said second sheet member including said magnetic tooth portion formed at one end and an overlapping portion formed at the other end, the overlapping portion forming said back yoke portion together with said root portion with a through hole formed at a specified position in the overlapping portion, the overlapping portion jutting out from said root portion in such a manner that the overlapping portion can fit on the end face of the root portion of said first sheet member; wherein said rotating electric machine armature core is configured by combining said magnetic tooth sections with the through holes in said individual overlapping portions aligned at the same location.
