CLAMP DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING STATOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18496073 titled 'CLAMP DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING STATOR

The abstract describes a patent application related to a stator core design with two shafts that restrict the positions of end portions in the circumferential direction.

The first shaft and the second shaft have grooves that help in positioning the end portions of the stator core.
The grooves are defined by side walls and end walls, which aid in pressing curved portions of the stator core in different directions.
The first shaft presses the first curved portion outward, while the second shaft presses the second curved portion inward, clamping the segment coils together.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in electric motors, generators, and other rotating machinery where precise positioning of coils is crucial.

Problems Solved: - Ensures proper alignment and clamping of segment coils in the stator core, improving the efficiency and performance of the machinery.

Benefits: - Enhanced stability and reliability of electric motors and generators. - Improved energy efficiency due to optimized coil positioning.

Commercial Applications: - This technology can be applied in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and renewable energy for various electric motor and generator applications.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this design improve the overall performance of electric motors and generators?

  - This design ensures precise positioning of coils, leading to improved efficiency and reliability.

2. What are the potential cost savings associated with implementing this technology in industrial applications?

  - The improved efficiency and performance can lead to energy savings and reduced maintenance costs over time.

Original Abstract Submitted

The first shaft and the second shaft restrict the positions of the first end portion and the second end portion in the circumferential direction of the stator core with the first end portion and the second end portion interposed therebetween. Each of the first shaft and the second shaft has a groove. The groove is defined by a first side wall, a second side wall, and an end wall connecting the first side wall and the second side wall. A first side wall of the first shaft presses the first curved portion radially outward of the stator core. The second side wall of the second shaft presses the second curved portion radially inward of the stator core. Thereby, the first segment coil and the second segment coil are clamped in a state where the first end portion and the second end portion are brought into contact with each other.
