Next, an operation of assembling the first core member 120 and the second core member 130 will be described.
First, the insulator 200 is attached to the teeth 121 (the teeth base portion 122) of the first core member 120. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the end of the tooth base 122 of the tooth 121 is inserted into the through hole 270 of the insulator 200 from the second flange 220 side. At this time, the end portion of the teeth base 122 is guided into the through hole 270 by the inclined surfaces 271 a to 274 a on the radially inner peripheral side of the inner wall surfaces 271 to 274 forming the through hole 270. The teeth base 122 is inserted so that the end of the teeth base 122 protrudes from the outer peripheral surface 210 </ b> A of the first flange 210.
Then, the stator winding 150 is wound with the insulator 200 mounted on the teeth 121 of the first core member 120. In the present embodiment, the stator winding 150 is wound around the space formed by the first flange portion 210, the second flange portion 220, and the trunk portion 230 of the insulator 200.
Regarding the mounting of the insulator 200 and the winding of the stator winding 150, a method of mounting the insulator 200 on the teeth 121 of the first core member 120 in a state where the stator winding 150 is wound around the insulator 200. Can also be used.

The first core member 120 and the second core member 130 are assembled in a state where the insulator 200 is attached to the tooth 121 and the stator winding 150 is wound around the insulator 200. In the present embodiment, the end portion of the teeth base portion 122 that is inserted into the through hole 270 of the insulator 200 and protrudes from the outer peripheral surface 210 </ b> A of the first flange portion 210 is formed in the yoke 131 of the second core member 130. The first core member 120 and the second core member 130 are assembled by press-fitting into the recessed portion 134 formed.
In the present embodiment, when the end portion of the tooth base 122 inserted into the through hole 270 of the insulator 200 is press-fitted into the recess 134 of the second core member 130 while being moved along the axial direction, the through hole 270 The end of the teeth base 122 is guided into the recess 134 by the outer wall surface 261 of the protrusion 260 formed on the end surface 212 side (the other side in the axial direction). As a result, the first core member 120 or the insulator 200 and the second core member 130 can be prevented from contacting with a strong force, and the first core member 120 and the second core member 130 are deformed. Alternatively, the occurrence of cracks in the insulator 200 can be prevented.
Further, as a method of press-fitting the end portion of the teeth base portion 122 into the concave portion 134 of the second core member 130, the teeth base portion 122 protruding from the outer peripheral surface 210A of the first flange portion 210 using a press-fitting jig, A method of applying a force for moving the end portion of the teeth base portion 122 in the direction of inserting the recess portion into the wall surface 122a on one axial side can be used.
At this time, if the end of the teeth base 122 swells in the circumferential direction and the radial direction due to the force applied by the press-fitting jig, the press-fitting operation becomes difficult. For this reason, it is necessary to apply force to an appropriate portion of the end portion of the teeth base 122 using a press-fitting jig having an appropriate size. In the present embodiment, protrusions 240 and 250 are provided on the first flange 210 on the end surface 211 side from the through hole 270, and the outer wall surface 243 of the protrusion 240 and the outside of the protrusion 250 are opposed to each other. The wall surface 253 forms a movement path for the press-fitting jig. Accordingly, the end portion of the teeth base portion 122 can be press-fitted into the concave portion 134 of the second core member 130 while preventing the end portion of the teeth base portion 122 from being deformed.
The outer wall surface 243 of the protrusion 240 corresponds to the “path forming surface of the first protrusion” of the present invention, and the outer wall surface 253 of the protrusion 250 is the “path forming surface of the second protrusion” of the present invention. Accordingly, the outer wall surface 243 of the protrusion 240 and the outer wall surface 253 of the protrusion 250 form the “movement path of the press-fitting jig” of the present invention.

Next, an insulating member that insulates the stator winding 150 wound around the insulator 200 and the yoke 131 will be described. The insulating member is disposed between the insulator 200 and the yoke 131. The insulating member is preferably made of an insulating film formed of a resin having insulating properties, for example, a polyethylene terephthalate resin or a polyethylene naphthalate resin.
The insulating member only needs to be arranged so as to be able to insulate between the stator winding 150 wound around the insulator 200 and the yoke 131, and all of the insulating members are the insulator 200 and the yoke 131. It may not be arranged between. That is, at least a part of the insulating member only needs to be disposed between the insulator 200 and the yoke 131.

A first embodiment 10 of an insulating member will be described with reference to FIG.
The insulating member 10 of the first embodiment is formed by bending a rectangular insulating film having edges 10a to 10d, and has a V-shaped cross section. That is, the rectangular insulating film is divided into an edge portion 11 including the edge portion 10a, an edge portion 14 including the edge portion 10b, and central portions 12 and 13 between the edge portions 11 and 14, and the edge portion 11 and the central portion 12 are separated. A fold line 10A between the center portions 12 and 13, a fold line 10B between the center portions 12 and 13, and a fold line 10C between the center portion 13 and the edge portion 14 are perpendicular to the extending direction of the edges 10a and 10b. It is bent so as to have a V shape when viewed from any direction.
The insulating member 10 is inserted between the insulator 200 and the yoke 131 in a state where the first core member 120 and the second core member 130 are assembled. At this time, the insulating member 10 is inserted between the insulator 200 and the yoke 131 so that the edge portions 10a and 10b are arranged on one side in the circumferential direction and the other side in the circumferential direction.
In the present embodiment, the insulator 200 is in a state where the insulating member 10 is elastically deformed by applying a force so that the distance between the edge portion 10a (edge portion 11) and the edge portion 10b (edge portion 14) is shortened. The first flange 210 is inserted between the insulator 200 and the yoke 131 from the end face 212 side (the other side in the axial direction), that is, from the side where the protrusions 240 and 250 are not provided. In the present embodiment, the insulator 200 is inserted through a gap between the outer peripheral surface 210A of the first flange 210 and the yoke inner peripheral surface portions 333a and 333b of the yoke 131.
When the insertion of the insulating member 10 is completed, the force applied to the insulating member 10 is released. Thereby, the insulating member 10 is elastically restored, and the edges 10a and 10b of the insulating member 10 are disposed in the recesses 280 and 290 formed in the first flange 210 of the insulator 200.
Here, in the present embodiment, the wall surface 282 and a part of the wall surface 284 of the recess 280 are formed by the cut-out surface (outer wall surface) of the protrusion 240, and therefore from the outer peripheral surface 210 </ b> A of the first flange portion 210. It protrudes outward in the radial direction. Similarly, part of the wall surface 292 and the wall surface 294 of the recess 290 is formed by the notch surface (outer wall surface) of the protrusion 250, so that the outer peripheral surface 210 </ b> A of the first flange 210 is radially outward. It's popping out. For this reason, the insulating member 10 inserted through the gap between the insulator 200 and the yoke 131 comes into contact with the wall surface 282 of the recess 280 or the wall surface 292 of the recess 290 protruding from the outer peripheral surface 210A. It is possible to easily determine the completion of insertion. In addition, it is ensured that the edges 10a and 10b of the insulating member 10 move to the through hole 270 side by a part of the wall surface 284 of the recess 280 and a part of the wall surface 294 of the recess 290 protruding from the outer peripheral surface 210A. Can be prevented.

At this time, at least a part of the edge portion 11 including the edge portion 10 a is also disposed in the recess 290. By disposing the edge 10a in the recess 290, the wall surfaces 292 and 293 of the recess 290 restrict the movement of the edge 10a in the axial direction (movement toward one side in the axial direction and movement toward the other side in the axial direction). The movement of the edge 10a toward the through hole 270 (movement toward the one side in the circumferential direction) is restricted by the wall surface 294 of the recess 290.
Further, the edge 10b (the edge on the other side in the circumferential direction) of the insulating member 10 is disposed in the recess 280 (the recess on the one side in the circumferential direction) of the other (the other in the circumferential direction) insulator 200. At this time, at least a part of the edge portion 14 including the edge portion 10 b is also disposed in the recess 280. By disposing the edge portion 10b in the recess 280, the wall surfaces 282 and 283 of the recess 280 restrict the movement of the edge portion 10b in the axial direction (movement toward one side in the axial direction and movement toward the other side in the axial direction). The movement of the edge 10b toward the through hole 270 (movement toward the other side in the circumferential direction) is restricted by the wall surface 284 of the recess 280. Thereby, the elastic member 10 can be hold | maintained reliably.
Further, the central portions 12 and 13 of the insulating member 10 extend along the radial direction between one (circumferential one side) insulator 200 and the other (circumferential other side) insulator.

In the present embodiment, the central portions 12 and 13 of the insulating member 10 are disposed between the stator windings 150 of different phases wound around the one insulator 200 and the other insulator 200, respectively. As a result, the insulating member 10 has a function of insulating the stator winding 150 wound around the insulator 200 and the yoke 131 and a function of an interphase insulating member for insulating the stator windings of different phases. Therefore, it is not necessary to separately provide an interphase insulating member.

In the concave portion). At this time, the edge portion including the edge portion 20 a is also disposed in the recess 290. Accordingly, the movement of the edge 20a in the axial direction is restricted by the wall surfaces 292 and 293 of the recess 290, and the movement of the edge 20a toward the through hole 270 is restricted by the wall surface 294 of the recess 290.
