Patent ID: 8610328

Claim:
A rotary electric machine comprising: a rotor; a stator comprising: an annular stator core; and concentrated winding coils that are configured by winding conductor wires that have a rectangular cross section into edgewise windings on respective teeth of said stator core, said stator being disposed so as to surround said rotor; bobbins comprising: a trunk portion; and a pair of guide portions that are disposed so as to protrude from two longitudinal ends of an upper surface of said trunk portion, said bobbins being disposed such that longitudinal directions of said respective trunk portion are oriented in a radial direction of said teeth, and so as to place bottom surfaces of said trunk portions alongside two axial end surfaces of said teeth; an insulating sheet comprising: slot insulating portions that are disposed on first and second circumferential sides of each of said teeth of said stator core, and that are interposed between inner wall surfaces of slots of said stator core and straight portions of said concentrated winding coils to insulate between said stator core and said straight portions; and interphase insulating portions that are disposed on first and second circumferential sides of each of said teeth of said stator core, and that cover said straight portions to insulate between said straight portions in adjacent concentrated winding coils, wherein: said concentrated winding coils are mounted onto each of said teeth such that a coil end portion is housed inside a concave space that is formed by said trunk portion and said pair of guide portions at two axial ends of said teeth; a portion of said insulating sheet extends so as to cover said coil end portion; a first leader line that projects outward from a radially outer end portion of said concentrated winding coil is bent and led radially outward; and a second leader line that projects outward from a radially inner end portion of said concentrated winding coil is bent and led radially outward parallel to said coil end portion that is covered by said portion of said insulating sheet; and a first extended portion that is extended axially outward from said interphase insulating portion of said insulating sheet that is disposed on said first circumferential side of said teeth is folded and extended so as to cover said coil end portion; and a second extended portion that is extended circumferentially outward from one of said interphase insulating portions of said insulating sheet that are disposed on said first and second circumferential sides of said teeth is folded so as to overlap with said first extended portion and extended so as to cover said coil end portion.
