ROTATING ELECTRIC MACHINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18475420 titled 'ROTATING ELECTRIC MACHINE

Simplified Explanation

The rotating electric machine described in the patent application includes a connection terminal that allows for easy separation of the terminal box from the motor case. This design simplifies maintenance and repair processes for the machine.

  • The motor case contains a lead wire that supplies current to a coil within the case.
  • The connection terminal has a first fixing portion attached to the lead wire and a second fixing portion connected to a power supply cable.
  • The terminal box houses the second fixing portion of the connection terminal and can be detached from the motor case.
  • The opening in the motor case allows for the first fixing portion of the connection terminal to be exposed externally.
  • The connection terminal and terminal box can be removed from the motor case together when the first fixing portion is released.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various rotating electric machines, such as motors and generators, to facilitate maintenance and repair processes.

Problems Solved

Original Abstract Submitted

A rotating electric machine includes a motor case, a lead wire that supplies current to a coil in the motor case, a connection terminal including a first fixing portion at one end and a second fixing portion at the other end, the first fixing portion being fixed to the lead wire and the second fixing portion being fixed to a power supply cable, and a terminal box that accommodates the second fixing portion of the connection terminal. The terminal box is separable from the motor case. The motor case includes an opening from which the first fixing portion is exposed to outside. The connection terminal can be separated from the motor case together with the terminal box when the fixing of the first fixing portion is released.
