Outline of the invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
[0004]
 There is room for improvement in improving the magnetic properties of the conventional laminated core.
[0005]
 The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to improve magnetic characteristics.
Means to solve problems
[0006]
 In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes the following means.
(1) The first aspect of the present invention is provided between a plurality of electrical steel sheets laminated to each other and both sides coated with an insulating coating, and the electrical steel sheets adjacent to each other in the laminated direction, and the electrical steel sheets are bonded to each other. It is a laminated core including an adhesive portion to be bonded to each other, and the adhesive area ratio of the electromagnetic steel sheet by the adhesive portion is 1% or more and 40% or less.
[0007]
 If the electromagnetic steel sheets adjacent to each other in the stacking direction are not fixed by some means, they are relatively displaced. On the other hand, when the electromagnetic steel sheets adjacent to each other in the lamination direction are fixed by caulking, for example, the electromagnetic steel sheets are greatly distorted, which greatly affects the magnetic characteristics of the laminated core.
 In the laminated core of the present invention, electromagnetic steel sheets adjacent to each other in the laminated direction are adhered to each other by an adhesive portion. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the electromagnetic steel sheets adjacent to each other in the laminating direction from being relatively displaced in the entire plurality of electromagnetic steel sheets. Here, the adhesive area ratio of the electromagnetic steel sheet by the adhesive portion is 1% or more. Therefore, it is possible to ensure the adhesion between the electromagnetic steel sheets by the bonded portion, and to effectively regulate the relative displacement between the electromagnetic steel sheets adjacent to each other in the lamination direction even when winding the electromagnetic steel sheets to the laminated core slot, for example. can. Moreover, since the method of fixing the electromagnetic steel sheets to each other is not the fixing by caulking as described above but the fixing by adhesion, the strain generated in the electromagnetic steel sheets can be suppressed. From the above, the magnetic characteristics of the laminated core can be ensured.
 By the way, compressive stress is generated in the magnetic steel sheet as the bonded portion is cured. Therefore, the electromagnetic steel sheet may be distorted due to the adhesion by the adhesive portion.
 In the laminated core in the present invention, the adhesive area ratio of the electromagnetic steel sheet by the adhesive portion is 40% or less. Therefore, the strain generated in the electrical steel sheet due to the bonded portion can be suppressed to a low level. Therefore, the magnetic characteristics of the laminated core can be further secured.
[0008]
(2) In the laminated core according to the above (1), the adhesive area ratio may be 1% or more and 20% or less.
[0009]
 The adhesive area ratio is 20% or less. Therefore, the strain generated in the electrical steel sheet due to the bonded portion can be further suppressed.
[0010]
(3) In the laminated core according to the above (1) or (2), the adhesive portion may be provided along the peripheral edge of the electromagnetic steel sheet.
[0011]
 Adhesive portions are arranged along the periphery of the electrical steel sheet. Therefore, for example, it is possible to suppress the turning of the electromagnetic steel sheet. As a result, it is possible to easily apply windings to the laminated core slot and further secure the magnetic characteristics of the laminated core.
[0012]
(4) In the laminated core according to (3), the electromagnetic steel having no adhesive portion between the adhesive region of the electromagnetic steel sheet provided with the adhesive portion and the peripheral edge of the electrical steel sheet. A non-adhesive region of the steel sheet may be formed.
(5) In the laminated core according to (4), the adhesive portion includes a first adhesive portion provided along the outer peripheral edge of the electromagnetic steel sheet, and the non-adhesive region of the electrical steel sheet is the first adhesive steel sheet. It may be formed between the adhesive region of the electromagnetic steel sheet provided with the adhesive portion of 1 and the outer peripheral edge of the electromagnetic steel sheet.
(6) In the laminated core according to the above (4) or (5), the adhesive portion includes a second adhesive portion provided along the inner peripheral edge of the electromagnetic steel sheet, and the electromagnetic steel sheet is not adhered. The region may be formed between the adhesive region of the electrical steel sheet provided with the second adhesive portion and the inner peripheral edge of the electrical steel sheet.
[0013]
 The electromagnetic steel sheet forming the laminated core is manufactured by punching an electromagnetic steel sheet as a base material. At the time of punching, strain due to punching is applied to a width corresponding to the thickness of the electromagnetic steel sheet from the peripheral edge of the electrical steel sheet toward the inside of the electrical steel sheet. Since the peripheral edge of the electrical steel sheet is work-hardened by the above strain, it is unlikely that the peripheral edge of the electrical steel sheet is deformed so as to be locally turned over. Therefore, deformation of the electrical steel sheet is unlikely to occur even if it is not adhered to the peripheral edge of the electrical steel sheet. Therefore, even if a non-adhesive region is formed on the peripheral edge of the electrical steel sheet, deformation of the electrical steel sheet can be suppressed. By forming the non-adhesive region in this way, it is possible to suppress the application of extra strain to the electrical steel sheet. Therefore, the magnetic characteristics of the laminated core can be further secured.
[0014]
(7) In the laminated core according to any one of (1) to (6), the electromagnetic steel sheet protrudes from the annular core back portion and the core back portion in the radial direction of the core back portion. In addition, a plurality of teeth portions arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the core back portion may be provided.
[0015]
(8) In the laminated core according to (7), the adhesive area of ​​the core back portion by the adhesive portion may be equal to or larger than the adhesive area of ​​the teeth portion by the adhesive portion.
[0016]
 When the width of the teeth portion (size in the circumferential direction) is narrower than the width of the core back portion (size in the radial direction), the magnetic flux is concentrated in the teeth portion, and the magnetic flux density of the teeth portion tends to increase. There is. Therefore, when strain is applied to the electrical steel sheet by the adhesive portion, if the strain is the same amount, the influence on the magnetic characteristics of the teeth portion is greater than the magnetic characteristics of the core back portion.
 The adhesive area of ​​the core back portion by the adhesive portion is equal to or larger than the adhesive area of ​​the teeth portion by the adhesive portion. Therefore, it is possible to secure the adhesive strength of the laminated core as a whole in the core back portion while suppressing the influence of deterioration of the magnetic characteristics due to the distortion of the adhesive portion in the teeth portion.
[0017]
(9) In the laminated core according to (8), the electrical steel sheet protrudes inward in the radial direction of the core back portion and the core back portion from the annular core back portion and the circumference of the core back portion. A plurality of tooth portions arranged at intervals in the direction are provided, and the adhesive portion includes a first adhesive portion provided along the outer peripheral edge of the electrical steel sheet and along the inner peripheral edge of the electrical steel sheet. The width of the portion of the first adhesive portion provided along the outer peripheral edge of the core back portion is the ratio of the width of the core back portion to the width of the core back portion. A certain first ratio is 33% or less, and the width of the portion of the second adhesive portion provided along the side edge of the teeth portion is the ratio of the width of the teeth portion to the second ratio. May be 10% or less.
(10) In the laminated core according to (9), the first ratio may be 5% or more, and the second ratio may be 5% or more.
(11) In the laminated core according to the above (9) or (10), the first ratio may be the second ratio or more.
[0018]
 The first ratio is 33% or less, and the second ratio is 10% or less. When both of these ratios are large, the adhesive area ratio becomes large. Therefore, by keeping both ratios appropriately small, the adhesive area ratio can be suppressed to an appropriate value or less, for example, 40% or less.
 Here, when one of the first ratio and the second ratio is extremely high (for example, more than 50%) and the other is extremely low (for example, 0%), the adhesive area ratio itself is appropriate. It is possible that the value can be suppressed below the above value. However, in this case, there is a possibility that the adhesion is locally insufficient at the core back portion or the teeth portion.
 On the other hand, in this laminated core, the first ratio and the second ratio are below a certain value, and one of these ratios is not extremely high. Therefore, it is possible to easily secure the adhesive strength in each of the core back portion and the tooth portion while suppressing the adhesive area ratio to an appropriate value or less. For example, when both of these ratios are 5% or more, it is possible to easily secure good adhesive strength in each of the core back portion and the teeth portion.
[0019]
 In general, the shape of the teeth portion is restricted depending on, for example, the number of poles and the number of slots. Therefore, it is not easy to adjust the width of the teeth portion. On the other hand, the above limitation does not occur in the core back portion, and the width of the core back portion can be easily adjusted. Moreover, the core back portion needs to ensure the strength as a laminated core. Therefore, the width of the core back portion tends to be wide.
 From the above, it can be said that the width of the core back portion tends to be wider than the width of the teeth portion. Therefore, the magnetic flux is widely dispersed in the width direction in the core back portion, and the magnetic flux density in the core back portion tends to be lower than the magnetic flux density in the teeth portion. Therefore, even if the magnetic steel sheet is distorted due to the bonded portion, when the strain occurs in the core back portion, the influence on the magnetic characteristics becomes smaller than in the case where the strain occurs in the teeth portion.
 When the first ratio is the second ratio or more, it can be said that the adhesive portion is unevenly distributed in the core back portion as compared with the teeth portion. Here, as described above, when distortion occurs in the core back portion, the influence on the magnetic characteristics is smaller than in the case where distortion occurs in the teeth portion. Therefore, by setting the first ratio to the second ratio or more, it is possible to suppress the influence of the magnetic characteristics generated on the electrical steel sheet to a small value while ensuring the adhesive area ratio.
[0020]
(12) In the laminated core according to any one of (1) to (11), the average thickness of the bonded portion may be 1.0 μm to 3.0 μm.
[0021]
(13) In the laminated core according to any one of (1) to (12), the average tensile elastic modulus E of the bonded portion may be 1500 MPa to 4500 MPa.
[0022]
(14) In the laminated core according to any one of (1) to (13), the adhesive portion is a room temperature adhesive type acrylic adhesive containing SGA made of an elastomer-containing acrylic adhesive. You may.
[0023]
(13) A second aspect of the present invention is a rotary electric machine provided with the laminated core according to any one of the above (1) to (12).

[0026]
 Hereinafter, the rotary electric machine according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the present embodiment, an electric motor as a rotary electric machine, specifically an AC electric motor, more specifically a synchronous electric motor, and even more specifically, a permanent magnet field type electric motor will be described as an example. This type of electric motor is suitably used for, for example, an electric vehicle.
[0027]
 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the rotary electric machine 10 includes a stator 20, a rotor 30, a case 50, and a rotary shaft 60. The stator 20 and rotor 30 are housed in a case 50. The stator 20 is fixed to the case 50.
 In the present embodiment, as the rotary electric machine 10, an inner rotor type in which the rotor 30 is located inside the stator 20 is adopted. However, as the rotary electric machine 10, an outer rotor type in which the rotor 30 is located outside the stator 20 may be adopted. Further, in the present embodiment, the rotary electric machine 10 is a 12-pole 18-slot three-phase AC motor. However, for example, the number of poles, the number of slots, the number of phases, and the like can be changed as appropriate. The rotary electric machine 10 can rotate at a rotation speed of 1000 rpm by applying an exciting current having an effective value of 10 A and a frequency of 100 Hz to each phase, for example.
[0028]
 The stator 20 includes a stator core 21 and a winding (not shown).
 The stator core 21 includes an annular core back portion 22 and a plurality of teeth portions 23. In the following, the axial direction of the stator core 21 (core back portion 22) (the central axis O direction of the stator core 21) is referred to as the axial direction, and the radial direction of the stator core 21 (core back portion 22) (perpendicular to the central axis O of the stator core 21). The direction) is called the radial direction, and the circumferential direction of the stator core 21 (core back portion 22) (the direction that orbits around the central axis O of the stator core 21) is called the circumferential direction.
[0029]
 The core back portion 22 is formed in an annular shape in a plan view of the stator 20 when viewed from the axial direction.
 The plurality of tooth portions 23 project from the core back portion 22 inward in the radial direction (toward the central axis O of the core back portion 22 along the radial direction). The plurality of tooth portions 23 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. In the present embodiment, 18 tooth portions 23 are provided at every 20 degrees of the central angle centered on the central axis O. The plurality of tooth portions 23 are formed to have the same shape and the same size as each other.
 The winding is wound around the teeth portion 23. The winding may be a centralized winding or a distributed winding.
[0030]
 The rotor 30 is arranged inside the stator 20 (stator core 21) in the radial direction. The rotor 30 includes a rotor core 31 and a plurality of permanent magnets 32.
 The rotor core 31 is formed in an annular shape (annular ring) arranged coaxially with the stator 20. The rotating shaft 60 is arranged in the rotor core 31. The rotating shaft 60 is fixed to the rotor core 31.
 The plurality of permanent magnets 32 are fixed to the rotor core 31. In this embodiment, a set of two permanent magnets 32 form one magnetic pole. The plurality of sets of permanent magnets 32 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. In the present embodiment, 12 sets (24 in total) of permanent magnets 32 are provided at a central angle of 30 degrees about the central axis O.
[0031]
 In this embodiment, an embedded magnet type motor is adopted as a permanent magnet field type motor. The rotor core 31 is formed with a plurality of through holes 33 that penetrate the rotor core 31 in the axial direction. The plurality of through holes 33 are provided corresponding to the plurality of permanent magnets 32. Each permanent magnet 32 ​​is fixed to the rotor core 31 in a state of being arranged in the corresponding through hole 33. Fixing of each permanent magnet 32 ​​to the rotor core 31 can be realized, for example, by adhering the outer surface of the permanent magnet 32 ​​and the inner surface of the through hole 33 with an adhesive or the like. As the permanent magnet field type motor, a surface magnet type motor may be adopted instead of the embedded magnet type motor.
[0032]
 Both the stator core 21 and the rotor core 31 are laminated cores. The laminated core is formed by laminating a plurality of electromagnetic steel sheets 40.
 The product thickness of each of the stator core 21 and the rotor core 31 is, for example, 50.0 mm. The outer diameter of the stator core 21 is, for example, 250.0 mm. The inner diameter of the stator core 21 is, for example, 165.0 mm. The outer diameter of the rotor core 31 is, for example, 163.0 mm. The inner diameter of the rotor core 31 is, for example, 30.0 mm. However, these values ​​are examples, and the product thickness, outer diameter and inner diameter of the stator core 21, and the product thickness, outer diameter and inner diameter of the rotor core 31 are not limited to these values. Here, the inner diameter of the stator core 21 is based on the tip of the teeth portion 23 of the stator core 21. The inner diameter of the stator core 21 is the diameter of a virtual circle inscribed in the tips of all the teeth portions 23.
[0033]
 Each of the electromagnetic steel sheets 40 forming the stator core 21 and the rotor core 31 is formed, for example, by punching an electromagnetic steel sheet as a base material. As the electromagnetic steel sheet 40, a known electrical steel sheet can be used. The chemical composition of the electrical steel sheet 40 is not particularly limited. In this embodiment, a non-oriented electrical steel sheet is used as the electrical steel sheet 40. As the non-oriented electrical steel sheet, for example, a non-oriented electrical steel strip of JIS C 2552: 2014 can be adopted. However, as the electromagnetic steel sheet 40, it is also possible to use a grain-oriented electrical steel sheet instead of the non-oriented electrical steel sheet. As the grain-oriented electrical steel sheet, for example, a grain-oriented electrical steel strip of JIS C 2553: 2012 can be adopted.
[0034]
 Insulating coatings are provided on both sides of the electrical steel sheet 40 in order to improve the workability of the electrical steel sheet and the iron loss of the laminated core. As the substance constituting the insulating film, for example, (1) an inorganic compound, (2) an organic resin, (3) a mixture of an inorganic compound and an organic resin, and the like can be applied. Examples of the inorganic compound include (1) a complex of dichromate and boric acid, and (2) a complex of phosphate and silica. Examples of the organic resin include epoxy-based resin, acrylic-based resin, acrylic-styrene-based resin, polyester-based resin, silicon-based resin, and fluorine-based resin.
[0035]
 In order to ensure the insulating performance between the electromagnetic steel sheets 40 laminated with each other, the thickness of the insulating film (thickness per one side of the electromagnetic steel sheets 40) is preferably 0.1 μm or more.
 On the other hand, as the insulating film becomes thicker, the insulating effect saturates. Further, as the insulating film becomes thicker, the space factor decreases, and the performance as a laminated core deteriorates. Therefore, the insulating coating should be as thin as possible to ensure the insulating performance. The thickness of the insulating film (thickness per one side of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40) is preferably 0.1 μm or more and 5 μm or less, and more preferably 0.1 μm or more and 2 μm or less.
[0036]
 As the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 becomes thinner, the effect of improving iron loss gradually saturates. Further, as the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 becomes thinner, the manufacturing cost of the electrical steel sheet 40 increases. Therefore, the thickness of the electrical steel sheet 40 is preferably 0.10 mm or more in consideration of the effect of improving iron loss and the manufacturing cost.
 On the other hand, if the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 is too thick, the press punching operation of the electrical steel sheet 40 becomes difficult. Therefore, considering the press punching work of the electrical steel sheet 40, the thickness of the electrical steel sheet 40 is preferably 0.65 mm or less.
 Further, as the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 becomes thicker, the iron loss increases. Therefore, considering the iron loss characteristics of the electrical steel sheet 40, the thickness of the electrical steel sheet 40 is preferably 0.35 mm or less, more preferably 0.20 mm or 0.25 mm.
 In consideration of the above points, the thickness of each electrical steel sheet 40 is, for example, 0.10 mm or more and 0.65 mm or less, preferably 0.10 mm or more and 0.35 mm or less, more preferably 0.20 mm or 0.25 mm. be. The thickness of the electrical steel sheet 40 includes the thickness of the insulating coating.
[0037]
 The plurality of electrical steel sheets 40 forming the stator core 21 are bonded by the bonding portion 41. The adhesive portion 41 is an adhesive that is provided between electromagnetic steel sheets 40 that are adjacent to each other in the stacking direction and is cured without being divided. As the adhesive, for example, a thermosetting adhesive by polymerization bonding is used. As the composition of the adhesive, (1) an acrylic resin, (2) an epoxy resin, (3) a composition containing an acrylic resin and an epoxy resin, and the like can be applied. As such an adhesive, a radical polymerization type adhesive or the like can be used in addition to a thermosetting type adhesive, and from the viewpoint of productivity, it is desirable to use a room temperature curing type adhesive. The room temperature curable adhesive cures at 20 ° C to 30 ° C. As the room temperature curing type adhesive, an acrylic adhesive is preferable. Typical acrylic adhesives include SGA (Second Generation Acrylic Adhesives. Second Generation Acrylic Adhesive) and the like. An anaerobic adhesive, an instant adhesive, and an elastomer-containing acrylic adhesive can be used as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired. The adhesive referred to here refers to a state before curing, and becomes an adhesive portion 41 after the adhesive is cured.
[0038]
 The average tensile elastic modulus E of the bonded portion 41 at room temperature (20 ° C. to 30 ° C.) is in the range of 1500 MPa to 4500 MPa. If the average tensile elastic modulus E of the bonded portion 41 is less than 1500 MPa, there will be a problem that the rigidity of the laminated core is lowered. Therefore, the lower limit of the average tensile elastic modulus E of the adhesive portion 41 is 1500 MPa, more preferably 1800 MPa. On the contrary, if the average tensile elastic modulus E of the adhesive portion 41 exceeds 4500 MPa, a problem occurs in which the insulating film formed on the surface of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 is peeled off. Therefore, the upper limit of the average tensile elastic modulus E of the adhesive portion 41 is 4500 MPa, more preferably 3650 MPa.
 The average tensile elastic modulus E is measured by the resonance method. Specifically, the tensile elastic modulus is measured in accordance with JIS R 1602: 1995.
 More specifically, first, a sample for measurement (not shown) is produced. This sample is obtained by adhering two electromagnetic steel sheets 40 together with an adhesive to be measured and curing them to form an adhesive portion 41. When the adhesive is a thermosetting type, this curing is performed by heating and pressurizing under the heating and pressurizing conditions in actual operation. On the other hand, when the adhesive is a room temperature curing type, it is performed by pressurizing at room temperature.
 Then, the tensile elastic modulus of this sample is measured by the resonance method. As described above, the method for measuring the tensile elastic modulus by the resonance method is performed in accordance with JIS R 1602: 1995. After that, the tensile elastic modulus of the bonded portion 41 alone can be obtained by removing the influence of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 itself from the tensile elastic modulus (measured value) of the sample by calculation.
 Since the tensile elastic modulus obtained from the sample in this way is equal to the average value of the entire laminated core, this value is regarded as the average tensile elastic modulus E. The composition of the average tensile elastic modulus E is set so that it hardly changes at the stacking position along the stacking direction or at the circumferential position around the central axis of the laminated core. Therefore, the average tensile elastic modulus E can be set to a value obtained by measuring the cured bonded portion 41 at the upper end position of the laminated core.
[0039]
 As the bonding method, for example, a method of applying an adhesive to the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 and then bonding by heating and / or pressure bonding can be adopted. The heating means may be any means such as heating in a high temperature bath or an electric furnace, or a method of directly energizing.
[0040]
 In order to obtain stable and sufficient adhesive strength, the thickness of the adhesive portion 41 is preferably 1 μm or more.
 On the other hand, when the thickness of the adhesive portion 41 exceeds 100 μm, the adhesive force is saturated. Further, as the adhesive portion 41 becomes thicker, the space factor decreases, and the magnetic properties such as iron loss of the laminated core decrease. Therefore, the thickness of the adhesive portion 41 is preferably 1 μm or more and 100 μm or less, more preferably 1 μm or more and 10 μm or less.
 In the above, the thickness of the adhesive portion 41 means the average thickness of the adhesive portion 41.
[0041]
 The average thickness of the bonded portion 41 is more preferably 1.0 μm or more and 3.0 μm or less. If the average thickness of the adhesive portion 41 is less than 1.0 μm, sufficient adhesive strength cannot be secured as described above. Therefore, the lower limit of the average thickness of the adhesive portion 41 is 1.0 μm, more preferably 1.2 μm. On the contrary, if the average thickness of the bonded portion 41 becomes thicker than 3.0 μm, problems such as a large increase in the amount of strain of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 due to shrinkage during thermosetting occur. Therefore, the upper limit of the average thickness of the adhesive portion 41 is 3.0 μm, more preferably 2.6 μm.
 The average thickness of the bonded portion 41 is an average value of the laminated core as a whole. The average thickness of the adhesive portion 41 is almost the same at the stacking position along the stacking direction and the circumferential position around the central axis of the laminated core. Therefore, the average thickness of the adhesive portion 41 can be set as the average value of the numerical values ​​measured at 10 or more points in the circumferential direction at the upper end position of the laminated core.
[0042]
 The average thickness of the adhesive portion 41 can be adjusted by changing, for example, the amount of the adhesive applied. Further, the average tensile elastic modulus E of the adhesive portion 41 should be adjusted, for example, in the case of a thermosetting type adhesive by changing one or both of the heating and pressurizing conditions applied at the time of adhesion and the type of curing agent. Can be done.
[0043]
 In this embodiment, the plurality of electromagnetic steel sheets 40 forming the rotor core 31 are fixed to each other by caulking C (dowels). However, a plurality of electrical steel sheets 40 forming the rotor core 31 may be bonded to each other by the bonding portion 41.
 The laminated cores such as the stator core 21 and the rotor core 31 may be formed by so-called rotating stacking.
[0044]
 Here, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, in the present embodiment, the electromagnetic steel sheets 40 adjacent to each other in the stacking direction are adhered to each other by the adhesive portion 41. In the illustrated example, the electromagnetic steel sheets 40 adjacent to each other in the stacking direction are fixed only by adhesion, and are not fixed by other means (for example, caulking or the like).
[0045]
 As shown in FIG. 4, the electromagnetic steel sheets 40 adjacent to each other in the stacking direction are not completely adhered to each other. These electromagnetic steel sheets 40 are locally bonded to each other.
[0046]
 In the present embodiment, the electromagnetic steel sheets 40 adjacent to each other in the stacking direction are adhered to each other by an adhesive portion 41 provided along the peripheral edge of the electromagnetic steel sheets 40. Specifically, the electromagnetic steel sheets 40 adjacent to each other in the stacking direction are adhered to each other by a first adhesive portion 41a and a second adhesive portion 41b. The first adhesive portion 41a is provided along the outer peripheral edge of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 in a plan view of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 when viewed from the stacking direction. The second adhesive portion 41b is provided along the inner peripheral edge of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 in a plan view of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 when viewed from the stacking direction. The first and second adhesive portions 41a and 41b are formed in a strip shape in a plan view, respectively.
[0047]
 Here, the band shape also includes a shape in which the width of the band changes in the middle. For example, a shape in which round points are continuous in one direction without being divided is also included in a band shape extending in one direction. However, the fact that the adhesive portion 41 is along the peripheral edge does not presuppose a shape in which the adhesive portion 41 is continuous in one direction. For example, a case where a plurality of adhesive portions 41 are intermittently arranged in one direction is also included. However, in this case, it is preferable that the distance between the pair of adhesive portions 41 adjacent to each other in one direction (length in one direction) is large, and the size of each of the pair of adhesive portions 41 (length in one direction) is also large. ..
 Further, when the adhesive portion 41 is provided along the peripheral edge, not only when the adhesive portion 41 is provided without a gap from the peripheral edge, but also when the adhesive portion 41 is provided with a gap with respect to the peripheral edge of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40. It is also included if it is. In this case, the fact that the adhesive portion 41 is along the peripheral edge means that the adhesive portion 41 extends substantially parallel to the target peripheral edge. In other words, the fact that the adhesive portion 41 is along the peripheral edge is not only when the adhesive portion 41 is completely parallel to the peripheral edge, but also when the adhesive portion 41 has an inclination of, for example, within 5 degrees with respect to the peripheral edge. It is also included if it is.
[0048]
 The first adhesive portion 41a is arranged along the outer peripheral edge of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40. The first adhesive portion 41a extends continuously over the entire circumference in the circumferential direction. The first adhesive portion 41a is formed in an annular shape in a plan view of the first adhesive portion 41a when viewed from the stacking direction.
 The second adhesive portion 41b is arranged along the inner peripheral edge of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40. The second adhesive portion 41b extends continuously over the entire circumference in the circumferential direction.
[0049]
 The second adhesive portion 41b includes a plurality of tooth portions 44 and a plurality of core back portions 45. The plurality of tooth portions 44 are provided at intervals in the circumferential direction, and are arranged in each tooth portion 23. The plurality of core back portions 45 are arranged in the core back portion 22, and connect the tooth portions 44 adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction.
 The teeth portion 44 includes a pair of a first portion 44a and a second portion 44b. The first portion 44a is arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction. The first portion 44a extends along the radial direction. The first portion 44a extends in a radial direction in a strip shape. The second portion 44b connects a pair of first portions 44a to each other in the circumferential direction. The second portion 44b extends in a band shape in the circumferential direction.
[0050]
 In the present embodiment, in the plan view of the electrical steel sheet 40, the adhesive portion 41 is provided without a gap from the peripheral edge of the electrical steel sheet 40, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as in the stator 20A according to the first modification shown in FIG. 5, in the plan view of the electrical steel sheet 40, the adhesive portion 41 may be provided with a gap with respect to the peripheral edge of the electrical steel sheet 40. That is, a non-adhesive region 43 of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 without the adhesive portion 41 is formed between the adhesive region 42 of the electromagnetic steel plate 40 provided with the adhesive portion 41 and the peripheral edge of the electromagnetic steel plate 40. May be good. The adhesive region 42 of the electrical steel sheet 40 provided with the adhesive portion 41 was cured without being divided from the surfaces of the electrical steel sheet 40 facing the stacking direction (hereinafter referred to as the first surface of the electrical steel sheet 40). It means the area where the adhesive is provided. The non-adhesive region 43 of the electrical steel sheet 40 in which the adhesive portion 41 is not provided means a region of the first surface of the electrical steel sheet 40 in which the adhesive cured without being divided is not provided.
 Here, the fact that the adhesive portion 41 is along the peripheral edge is not included when the adhesive portion 41 is provided with a gap exceeding a certain width with respect to the peripheral edge of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40. Specifically, the adhesive portion 41 is provided within a range not exceeding three times the width corresponding to the thickness of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 from the peripheral edge of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40. The distance (width) between the bonded portion 41 and the peripheral edge of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 is preferably not more than the plate thickness of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40, and may be 3 times or less the plate thickness. When the distance is 0, the adhesive portion 41 is provided on the peripheral edge of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 without any gap.
[0051]
 In the present embodiment, the plan-view shapes of all the adhesive portions 41 provided between the electromagnetic steel sheets 40 are the same. The plan view shape of the adhesive portion 41 means the overall shape of the adhesive portion 41 in a plan view of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 provided with the adhesive portion 41 when viewed from the stacking direction. The fact that all the adhesive portions 41 provided between the electromagnetic steel sheets 40 have the same plan view shape means that the plan view shapes of all the adhesive portions 41 provided between the electromagnetic steel sheets 40 are completely the same. It does not include only certain cases, but includes substantially the same cases. In the case of substantially the same, it is a case where all the adhesive portions 41 provided between the electromagnetic steel sheets 40 have a common plan view shape of 95% or more.
[0052]
 In the present embodiment, the adhesive area ratio of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 by the adhesive portion 41 is 1% or more and 40% or less. In the illustrated example, the adhesive area ratio is 1% or more, 20% or less, and specifically 20%. The adhesive area ratio of the electromagnetic steel plate 40 by the adhesive portion 41 is the area of ​​the region (adhesive region 42) of the first surface where the adhesive portion 41 is provided with respect to the area of ​​the first surface of the electromagnetic steel plate 40. It is a ratio. The region provided with the adhesive portion 41 is a region (adhesive region 42) of the first surface of the electrical steel sheet 40 in which the adhesive cured without being divided is provided. The area of ​​the region where the adhesive portion 41 is provided can be obtained, for example, by photographing the first surface of the magnetic steel sheet 40 after peeling and analyzing the imaged result.
[0053]
 In the present embodiment, the bonding area ratio of the electromagnetic steel sheets 40 by the bonding portion 41 between the electromagnetic steel sheets 40 is 1% or more and 20% or less. In both electrical steel sheets 40 adjacent to each other in the stacking direction, the adhesive area ratio of the electrical steel sheets 40 by the adhesive portion 41 is 1% or more and 20% or less. When the adhesive portions 41 are provided on both sides in the stacking direction with respect to one electrical steel sheet 40, the adhesive area ratios on both sides of the electrical steel sheet 40 are 1% or more and 20% or less.
 By adhering the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 with the adhesive portion 41, it is possible to easily secure the adhesive area (bonding area) as compared with the case where the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 is crimped.
[0054]
 Further, in the present embodiment, the adhesive area of ​​the core back portion 22 by the adhesive portion 41 (hereinafter, referred to as “first adhesive area S1”) is the adhesive area of ​​the teeth portion 23 by the adhesive portion 41 (hereinafter, “second adhesive area”). It is called "S2".) That is, S1 ≧ S2.
 Here, the first adhesive area S1 is a region of the core back portion 22 on the first surface of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 where the adhesive cured without being divided is provided. The second adhesive area S2 is a region of the teeth portion 23 on the first surface of the electrical steel sheet 40 where the adhesive cured without being divided is provided. As for the area of ​​the area where the adhesive portion 41 is provided, for the first adhesive area S1 and the second adhesive area S2, for example, the first surface of the magnetic steel sheet 40 after peeling is photographed, and the photographed result is photographed. Obtained by image analysis.
[0055]
 Let S11 be the bonding area of ​​the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 by the first bonding portion 41a. Of the second adhesive portion 41b, the adhesive area of ​​the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 by the core back portion 45 is S12a. Of the second adhesive portion 41b, the adhesive area of ​​the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 by the tooth portion 44 is S12b. The bonding area of ​​the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 by the first bonding portion 41a is the area of ​​the area of ​​the first surface of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 where the first bonding portion 41a is provided. Of the second bonded portion 41b, the bonding area of ​​the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 by the core back portion 45 is the region where the second bonded portion 41b of the core back portion 45 on the first surface of the electromagnetic steel plate 40 is provided. The area. Of the second bonded portion 41b, the bonding area of ​​the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 by the teeth portion 44 is the area of ​​the region provided with the second bonded portion 41b of the teeth portions 44 on the first surface of the electromagnetic steel plate 40. be.
 Using the above S11, S12a and S12b, S1 and S2 are represented by the following equations.
 S1 = S11 + S12a
 S2 = S12b
[0056]
 Moreover, in the present embodiment, the bonding area of ​​the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 by the first bonding portion 41a is equal to or larger than the bonding area of ​​the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 by the second bonding portion 41b. That is, S11 ≧ S12a + S12b. As a precondition in this case, for example, one or both of the following (1) and (2) can be mentioned. (1) The length of the band formed by the first adhesive portion 41a is longer than the length of the band formed by the second adhesive portion 41b. (2) The width of the band formed by the first adhesive portion 41a is wider than the width of the band formed by the second adhesive portion 41b.
[0057]
 In the stator core 21, if the electromagnetic steel sheets 40 adjacent to each other in the stacking direction are not fixed by some means, they are relatively displaced. On the other hand, when the electromagnetic steel sheets 40 adjacent to each other in the stacking direction are fixed by caulking, for example, the electrical steel sheets 40 are greatly distorted, which greatly affects the magnetic characteristics of the stator core 21.
 On the other hand, in the stator core 21 according to the present embodiment, the electromagnetic steel sheets 40 adjacent to each other in the stacking direction are adhered to each other by the adhesive portion 41. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the electromagnetic steel sheets 40 adjacent to each other in the stacking direction from being relatively displaced in the entire plurality of the electromagnetic steel sheets 40. Here, the adhesive area ratio of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 by the adhesive portion 41 is 1% or more. Therefore, the adhesion by the adhesive portion 41 is ensured, and the relative displacement between the electromagnetic steel sheets 40 adjacent to each other in the stacking direction can be effectively regulated even when winding the stator core 21 into the slot, for example. .. Moreover, since the fixing method of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 is not the fixing by caulking as described above but the fixing by adhesion, the strain generated in the electrical steel sheet 40 can be suppressed. From the above, the magnetic characteristics of the stator core 21 can be ensured.
[0058]
 By the way, when an adhesive is applied to the electrical steel sheet 40, compressive stress is generated in the electrical steel sheet 40 as the adhesive cures. Therefore, if the adhesive portion 41 is formed by applying the adhesive to the electromagnetic steel sheet 40, the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 may be distorted.
 However, in the stator core 21 according to the present embodiment, the adhesive area ratio of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 by the adhesive portion 41 is 40% or less. Therefore, the strain generated in the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 due to the adhesive can be suppressed to a low level. Therefore, the magnetic characteristics of the stator core 21 can be further secured.
 Moreover, the adhesive area ratio of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 by the adhesive portion 41 is 20% or less. Therefore, the strain generated in the electrical steel sheet 40 due to the adhesive can be further suppressed.
[0059]
 The adhesive portion 41 is provided on the adhesive region 42 formed along the peripheral edge of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40. Therefore, for example, it is possible to prevent the electromagnetic steel sheets 40 adjacent to each other in the stacking direction from being turned over. This makes it easy to apply windings to the slots of the stator core 21, and further secures the magnetic characteristics of the stator core 21. Therefore, the magnetic characteristics of the stator core 21 can be further secured.
[0060]
 When the width W1 (magnitude in the circumferential direction) of the teeth portion 23 is narrower than the width W2 (magnitude in the radial direction) of the core back portion 22, magnetic flux is concentrated on the teeth portion 23 and the teeth portion 23 The magnetic flux density tends to be high. Therefore, when strain is applied to the steel sheet by the adhesive, if the strain is the same amount, the influence on the magnetic characteristics of the teeth portion 23 is greater than the magnetic characteristics of the core back portion 22.
 The first adhesive area S1 is equal to or larger than the second adhesive area S2. Therefore, it is possible to secure the adhesive strength of the stator core 21 as a whole in the core back portion 22 while suppressing the influence of deterioration of the magnetic characteristics due to the distortion of the adhesive in the teeth portion 23.
[0061]
 Here, as long as the adhesive area ratio of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 by the adhesive portion 41 is 1% or more and 40% or less, the form of the second adhesive portion 41b is not limited to the form shown in the above embodiment. For example, the second portion 44b of the teeth portion 44 may be omitted. In this case, the influence of deterioration of the magnetic characteristics due to the distortion of the adhesive in the second portion 44b of the tooth portion 23 where the magnetic flux density becomes high can be remarkably suppressed. In this case, for example, the adhesive area ratio of the entire electromagnetic steel sheet 40 may be secured by increasing the adhesive area ratio of the first adhesive portion 41a.
[0062]
 The electromagnetic steel sheet 40 forming the stator core 21 is manufactured by punching an electromagnetic steel sheet as a base material. During the punching process, strain due to the punching process is applied to the width corresponding to the thickness of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 from the peripheral edge of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 toward the inside of the electrical steel sheet 40 (note that the electromagnetic steel sheet). The inside of the 40 is a region between the outer peripheral edge and the inner peripheral edge of the electrical steel sheet 40). Since the peripheral edge of the electrical steel sheet 40 is work-hardened by the above strain, it is unlikely that the peripheral edge of the electrical steel sheet 40 is deformed so as to be locally turned over. Therefore, the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 is unlikely to be deformed even if it is not adhered to the peripheral edge of the electrical steel sheet 40. Therefore, even if the non-adhesive region 43 is formed on the peripheral edge of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 as in the stator core 21 according to the first modification shown in FIG. 5, the deformation of the electrical steel sheet 40 can be suppressed. By forming the non-adhesive region 43 in this way, it is possible to prevent the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 from being subjected to excessive strain. Therefore, the magnetic characteristics of the stator core 21 can be further secured. Considering work hardening due to strain generated during the punching process described above, the width of the non-adhesive region 43 is preferably equal to or less than the thickness of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40.
[0063]
 The technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
[0064]
 The shape of the stator core is not limited to the form shown in the above embodiment. Specifically, the dimensions of the outer diameter and inner diameter of the stator core, the product thickness, the number of slots, the dimensional ratio between the circumferential direction and the radial direction of the teeth portion 23, the dimensional ratio in the radial direction between the teeth portion 23 and the core back portion 22, etc. Can be arbitrarily designed according to the desired characteristics of the rotating electric machine.
[0065]
 For example, the number of tooth portions 23 may be large, as in the stator 20I according to the second modification shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. Such a stator 20I can be suitably adopted in a form in which the windings are distributed and wound. When the windings are wound in a distributed manner, the width W1 of the teeth portion 23 tends to be narrower than when the windings are wound intensively.
[0066]
 Here, the width W2a of the portion of the first adhesive portion 41a provided along the outer peripheral edge of the core back portion 22 (the first adhesive portion 41a itself in the present embodiment) is the width W2 of the core back portion 22. The ratio to the first ratio is called the first ratio.
 The widths W2 and W2a in obtaining the first ratio both mean the average value of each width. The width W2 of the core back portion 22 when determining the first ratio is, for example, the width of each of the three points (three points every 120 degrees around the central axis O) at equal intervals in the circumferential direction in the core back portion 22. It can be an average value. Further, the width W2a of the first adhesive portion 41a when determining the first ratio is, for example, three points (3 at 120 degree intervals around the central axis O) at the first adhesive portion 41a at equal intervals in the circumferential direction. Point) It can be the average value of the width in each.
[0067]
 The ratio of the width W1a of the portion of the second adhesive portion 41b provided along the side edge of the teeth portion 23 to the width W1 of the teeth portion 23 is referred to as the second ratio. The side edge of the teeth portion 23 is a portion of the peripheral edge of the teeth portion 23 that faces the circumferential direction. The portion of the second adhesive portion 41b provided along the side edge of the teeth portion 23 is the first portion 44a of the teeth portion 44.
[0068]
 The widths W1 and W1a in obtaining the second ratio both mean the average value of each width.
 The width W1 of the teeth portion 23 when determining the second ratio can be, for example, the average value of the widths of the three points at equal intervals in the radial direction in the teeth portion 23. These three points may be, for example, three points: a radial inner edge of the teeth portion 23, a radial inner edge of the teeth portion 23, and a radial center of the teeth portion 23. can.
 Further, the width W1a of the first portion 44a when determining the second ratio can be, for example, the average value of the widths of the three points at equal intervals in the radial direction in the first portion 44a. These three points are, for example, a radial inner edge of the first portion 44a (teeth portion 23), a radial inner edge of the first portion 44a (teeth portion 23), and a first portion 44a ( It can be three points, the center in the radial direction of the teeth portion 23).
[0069]
 Such a second ratio is defined for each teeth portion 23. In this embodiment, the second ratio for all the teeth portions 23 is the same. Here, the fact that the second ratios for all the teeth portions 23 are the same includes cases where the second ratios for each teeth portion 23 are different, but the difference is small. When the difference is small, for example, the second ratio for each teeth portion 23 is included in the range of ± 5% or less with respect to the average value of these second ratios. In this case, the second ratio for all the teeth portions 23 means the average value of the second ratio for each teeth portion 23.
[0070]
 In the stator 20I, the first ratio is 33% or less. Moreover, in the illustrated example, the first ratio is 5% or more.
 Further, in the stator 20I, the second ratio is 10% or less. Moreover, in the illustrated example, the second ratio is 5% or more. In the present embodiment, the second ratio for all the teeth portions 23 is 10% or less and 5% or more.
 In the stator 20I, the first ratio is the second ratio or more.
[0071]
 The first ratio is 33% or less, and the second ratio is 10% or less. When both of these ratios are large, the adhesive area ratio becomes large. Therefore, by keeping both ratios appropriately small, the adhesive area ratio can be suppressed to an appropriate value or less, for example, 40% or less.
 Here, when one of the first ratio and the second ratio is extremely high (for example, more than 50%) and the other is extremely low (for example, 0%), the adhesive area ratio itself is appropriate. It is possible that the value can be suppressed below the above value. However, in this case, there is a possibility that the adhesion is locally insufficient at the core back portion 22 or the teeth portion 23.
 On the other hand, in the stator core 21, the first ratio and the second ratio are below a certain value, and one of these ratios is not extremely high. Therefore, it is possible to easily secure the adhesive strength in each of the core back portion 22 and the teeth portion 23 while suppressing the adhesive area ratio to an appropriate value or less. For example, when both of these ratios are 5% or more, it is possible to easily secure good adhesive strength in each of the core back portion 22 and the teeth portion 23.
[0072]
 In general, the shape of the teeth portion 23 is restricted depending on, for example, the number of poles and the number of slots. Therefore, it is not easy to adjust the width W1 of the teeth portion 23. On the other hand, the limitation does not occur in the core back portion 22, and the width W2 of the core back portion 22 can be easily adjusted. Moreover, the core back portion 22 needs to secure the strength as the stator core 21. Therefore, the width W2 of the core back portion 22 tends to be wide.
 From the above, it can be said that the width W2 of the core back portion 22 tends to be wider than the width W1 of the teeth portion 23. Therefore, the magnetic flux in the core back portion 22 is widely dispersed in the width direction, and the magnetic flux density in the core back portion 22 tends to be lower than the magnetic flux density in the teeth portion 23. Therefore, even if the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 is distorted due to the adhesive portion 41, when the strain occurs in the core back portion 22, the influence on the magnetic characteristics is affected as compared with the case where the strain is generated in the teeth portion 23. It becomes smaller.
 When the first ratio is the second ratio or more, it can be said that the adhesive portion 41 is unevenly distributed in the core back portion 22 as compared with the teeth portion 23. As described above, when the core back portion 22 is distorted, the influence on the magnetic characteristics is smaller than that when the teeth portion 23 is distorted. Therefore, by setting the first ratio to the second ratio or more, it is possible to minimize the influence of the magnetic characteristics generated on the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 while ensuring the adhesive area ratio.
[0073]
 In the rotor of the above embodiment, a set of two permanent magnets 32 form one magnetic pole, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, one permanent magnet 32 ​​may form one magnetic pole, or three or more permanent magnets 32 may form one magnetic pole.

[0076]
 In addition, it is possible to replace the components in the embodiment with well-known components as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and the above-mentioned modifications may be appropriately combined.
[0077]
 Next, a verification test (first verification test and second verification test) for verifying the above-mentioned action and effect was carried out. This verification test was carried out by simulation using software, except for the verification of adhesive strength described later. As the software, JMAG, a finite element method electromagnetic field analysis software manufactured by JSOL Corporation, was used.
[0078]
(First Verification Test)
 FIGS. 8 to 14 show the stators 20B to 20G that were simulated in this verification test. In each of these stators 20B to 20G, the stator 20 according to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 is used as the basic structure, and the following points are changed with respect to the stator. That is, the thickness of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 was set to 0.25 mm or 0.20 mm. Then, as shown in FIGS. 8 to 13, in both of the two types of plate thickness stators 20B to 20G, the adhesive area ratio of each electrical steel sheet 40 by the adhesive portion 41 is made different from each other by 20% from 0% to 100%. (12 types in total).
[0079]
 The iron loss of each of the electrical steel sheets 40 constituting the 12 types of stators 20B to 20G was determined by the above simulation. Further, as a comparison target, as in the stator 20H shown in FIG. 14, the iron loss of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 in the stator 20H in which the plurality of electromagnetic steel sheets 40 are all-layered is also determined. For the stator 20H to be compared, iron loss was determined for two types when the plate thickness was 0.25 mm or 0.20 mm. The stator 20H to be compared includes a plurality of caulking C1 and C2. The caulking C1 and C2 include a first caulking C1 provided on the core back portion 22 and a second caulking C2 provided on the teeth portion 23. The ratio of the area occupied by the caulked C1 and C2 to the first surface of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 is about 3.2%.
[0080]
 The results are shown in the graph of FIG. In the graph of FIG. 15, the horizontal axis is the adhesive area ratio of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 by the adhesive portion 41. The vertical axis is the value obtained by dividing the iron loss of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 in each of the stators 20B to 20G by the iron loss of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 in the comparison target stator 20H (the stator 20H having the same thickness of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40). (Iron loss ratio). If the iron loss of the electrical steel sheet 40 in each of the stators 20B to 20G is equivalent to the iron loss in the stator 20H to be compared, the iron loss ratio is about 100%. The smaller the iron loss ratio, the smaller the iron loss of the electrical steel sheet 40, and the better the magnetic characteristics of the stators 20B to 20G.
[0081]
 In the graph shown in FIG. 15, 12 types of stators 20B to 20G were divided into two groups, and the results of each group were summarized as a line graph. The six stators 20B to 20G having a thickness of 0.25 mm of the electrical steel sheet 40 were designated as the first group, and the six stators 20B to 20G having a thickness of 0.20 mm of the electrical steel sheet 40 were designated as the second group.
[0082]
 From the graph shown in FIG. 15, it can be confirmed that in the stators 20E to 20G in which the bonding area ratio of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 by the bonding portion 41 is 40% or less, the iron loss is equivalent to that of the stator 20H to be compared.
[0083]
(Second verification test)
 This verification test is a verification test for the first ratio and the second ratio.
 Each of the stators simulated in this verification test has a basic structure of the stator 20I according to the second modification shown in FIGS. 6 and 7.
 In each stator, the first ratio and the second ratio were changed by changing the shape of the adhesive portion 41 while keeping the shape of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40 as it was. Specifically, the widths W1a and W2a of the adhesive portion 41 were narrowed to change the first ratio and the second ratio. In each of the stators, the adhesive portion 41 was arranged without a gap with respect to the peripheral edge of the electromagnetic steel sheet 40.
[0084]
(Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1) In
 each of the stators of Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1, the first ratio was fixed and then the second ratio was changed. Then, the adhesive area ratio and the adhesive strength were confirmed for each stator.
 Table 1 shows the results of the first ratio and the second ratio values, the adhesive area ratio, and the adhesive strength for each of the stators of Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1.
[0085]
[table 1]

[0086]
 In Table 1 above, the adhesive strength was evaluated in a state where a plurality of motors were manufactured by winding the slots after manufacturing the stator core. Five stator cores were made for each embodiment. At that time, when none of the core back portion and the tooth portion is affected in all five stator cores, that is, in any of the core back portion and the teeth portion, the stator core is peeled off (damage of the adhesive portion, adjacent electromagnetic steel sheets). If there was no peeling), it was considered excellent. As a result of winding, in only one of the five stator cores, although the stator core was peeled off in a part of the teeth portion, it was evaluated as good when the shape of the teeth portion was not affected when the winding was completed. .. It was evaluated as acceptable when two or more of the five stator cores had peeling of the stator core in the teeth portion as a result of winding, but the shape of the teeth portion was not affected when the winding was completed. Other cases were evaluated as impossible.
[0087]
 In each of the stators of Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1, the first ratio was set to 33%. Then, the second ratio was changed respectively.
 From the above results, when the first ratio is 33%, the adhesive area ratio is 40% even if the second ratio is 10% (Example 3). However, when the second ratio exceeds 10%, for example, 13% (Comparative Example 1), it is confirmed that the adhesive area ratio exceeds 40%. Further, when the second ratio became 5% (Example 1), it was confirmed that there was a stator core in which the tooth portion had peeled off, and that the adhesive strength was slightly affected.
[0088]
(Examples 11 to 13 and Comparative Example 11) In
 each of the stators of Examples 11 to 13 and Comparative Example 11, the second ratio was fixed and then the first ratio was changed. Then, the adhesive area ratio and the adhesive strength were confirmed for each stator.
 Table 2 shows the results of the first ratio and the second ratio values, the adhesive area ratio, and the adhesive strength for each of the stators of Examples 11 to 13 and Comparative Example 11.
[0089]
[Table 2]

[0090]
 In Table 2 above, the evaluation criteria for the adhesive strength were the presence or absence of peeling of the upper and lower surfaces of the stator core caused by the contact between the stator and the case when the stator was inserted into the case after the stator was manufactured, and the degree of peeling. Five stators were made for each embodiment. When the stator is inserted into the case, if neither the core back part nor the teeth part is affected in all five stators, that is, in any of the core back part and the teeth part, the stator core is peeled off (damaged adhesive part, If there was no peeling of adjacent electromagnetic steel sheets), it was considered excellent. It was evaluated as good when the stator core was peeled off in a part of the core back portion in only one of the five stators at the time of the insertion, but the shape of the core back portion was not affected when the insertion was completed. At the time of the insertion, in two or more of the five stators, the case where the stator core was peeled off at the teeth portion and the shape of the core back portion was not affected at the time of the completion of the insertion was evaluated as acceptable. Other cases were evaluated as impossible.
[0091]
 In each of the stators of Examples 11 to 13 and Comparative Example 11, the second ratio was set to 10%. Then, the first ratio was changed respectively.
 From the above results, when the second ratio is 10%, the adhesive area ratio is 40% even if the second ratio is 33% (Example 13). However, when the first ratio exceeds 33%, for example 36% (Comparative Example 11), it was confirmed that the adhesive area ratio exceeds 40%. Further, when the first ratio becomes 4.9% (Example 11), when the stator is inserted into the case, the upper surface of the core back portion is peeled off in some of the stators, which slightly affects the adhesive strength. It was confirmed that.
[0092]
(Example 21) In
 the stator of Example 21, the first ratio was 6.6% and the second ratio was 7%. When the adhesive area ratio in this stator was confirmed, it was 12%.
