Electric conductor insertion device

An electric conductor insertion device configured to insert predetermined portions of electric conductors with respect to slots which are formed in plurality in a stator core, together with being formed in linear shapes including diametrically directed sides extending along diametrical directions of the stator core, and circumferential sides extending along a circumferential direction of the stator core, and in which insulating papers are respectively arranged, the electric conductor insertion device comprising:

• a guide member configured to guide the predetermined portions of the electric conductors into the slots;
• and
• a supporting body configured to support the guide member;
• wherein, by a single member being bent at a bent portion, the guide member includes a first diametrically directed side guide section adapted to guide the predetermined portions of the electric conductors on a diametrically directed side of a first slot, and a second diametrically directed side guide section adapted to guide the predetermined portions of the electric conductors on a diametrically directed side of a second slot adjacent to the first slot, together with the first diametrically directed side guide section and the second diametrically directed side guide section forming an inverted V-shape with the bent portion forming an apex thereof, and the bent portion is supported by the supporting body,
• wherein the first diametrically directed side guide section, at a time of approaching toward the first slot, presses the insulating paper inside the first slot toward an inner wall side of the diametrically directed sides of the first slot, and the second diametrically directed side guide section, at a time of approaching toward the second slot, presses the insulating paper inside the second slot toward an inner wall side of the diametrically directed sides of the second slot;
• further comprising a second supporting body, wherein the second supporting body includes an inner circumferentially directed side guide section adapted to guide the predetermined portions of the electric conductors on a circumferentially directed side of an inner circumference of the second slot.
