- The present invention relates to an a.c. generator for vehicle which is equipped in, for example, a passenger car and a truck.
- 2. Discussion of Background
- A conventional a.c. generator for a vehicle is disclosed in, for example, JP-B-2927288. In this conventional technique, a plurality of substantially U-like conductor segments are used as a stator coil. In slots of the stator, the conductor segments are paired as an inner layer and an outer layer along depth directions of the slots to be a single pair or a plurality of pairs and arranged in the slots in a state that the conductor segments are mutually insulated. In an outside of the slots, the conductor segments are arranged by protruding on an end surface side of the stator core, wherein a coil end group mainly having repeating serially connected patterns, by which different layers in the separated slots are serially connected in correspondence with an NS magnetic pole pitch of a rotator.
- At a coil end, the plurality of the conductor segments are arranged interposing intervals so as to cross a ventilating direction of a cooling air in a frame, whereby the cooling air flows by crossing the plurality of the conductor segments at the coil end.
- In other words, in this conventional technique, because the conductor segments are mutually separated at the coil end and the cooling air passes across the plurality of the conductor segments at the coil end, it is aimed to improve cooling of the coil end to thereby obtain a high output.
- In the above conventional technique, because the conductor segments at the coil end of the stator coil are separately arranged interposing spaces therebetween, there is problems that a short occurs by a contact between adjacent coils at the coil end or between joining portions of the adjacent coils in receipt of vibrations from an engine to thereby decrease the output and generate noises.
- Further, there are problems that the joining portions at the coil end are disconnected by the vibrations of the a.c. generator and that a temperature excessively increases by a connection resistance as a result of a crack.
- Further, there is a problem of wind noise caused by uncomfortable high order interference sound between an edge of a molten joining portion of the coil end caused by welding and an edge of a claw-like magnetic pole of a rotator or a fan occurs because the coil end of the stator coil is positioned on a discharge side of a cooling air.
- Further, there is a problem that high order wind noise occurs because of a cooling air passing through a gap between coils at the coil end of the stator.
- Incidentally, in JP-A-11-164505, it is disclosed that insulation is assured by providing a gap between coils at a coil end of a stator coil. However, there is a problem that the insulation is spoiled when an extraneous matter intrudes between the coils and the coil is deformed by a collision of the extraneous matter.
- It is an object of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned problems inherent in the conventional technique and to provide an a.c. generator for vehicle which improves insulation at a coil end of a stator coil, keeps vibration proof, and reduces wind noise.
