## Abstract

A stacked core includes a plurality of single plates which are a plurality of steel plates stacked on one another to constitute a stacked body, a first bonding layer that is sandwiched between the single plates in the stacked body and fixes the single plates to each other, and a second bonding layer that is spread in a stacking direction of the plurality of single plates on a side surface of the stacked body including each end surface of the plurality of single plates, and fixes the plurality of single plates to one another.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A stacked core manufacturing method comprising:
punching a steel plate from a material to which an adhesive has been applied;
sequentially stacking a plurality of the steel plates that have been punched out, and forming a first bonding layer to fix the steel plates adjacent to each other in a stacking direction of the plurality of the steel plates, by the adhesive sandwiched between the steel plates; and
forming a second bonding layer to fix the plurality of the steel plates to one another, on a side surface that is a surface formed by each end surface of the plurality of the steel plates in a stacked body in which the plurality of the steel plates are stacked, by applying a force in the stacking direction to the stacked body to cause the adhesive to protrude from between the steel plates, and causing the adhesive to spread in the stacking direction on the side surface, wherein
in forming the first bonding layer, the adhesive is spread in a part of an area of a plate surface on which the first bonding layer is formed in the steel plates, and
in forming the second bonding layer, the adhesive is caused to protrude from a portion in the area in a contour of the steel plate,
in a holder to hold the stacked body in forming the first bonding layer and forming the second bonding layer, there is provided a holding block to hold the stacked body by coming into contact with the stacked body from a direction perpendicular to the stacking direction, and
in forming the second bonding layer, the second bonding layer is formed by causing the adhesive to protrude in a blank part adjacent to the area, the blank part being a space where the holding block is not provided in a periphery of the stacked body.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The stacked core manufacturing method according to claim 1, wherein, in forming the second bonding layer, the second bonding layer having an anchor structure is formed by curing the adhesive that has entered irregularities on the end surface.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The stacked core manufacturing method according to claim 2, wherein
in a holder to hold the stacked body in forming the first bonding layer and forming the second bonding layer, there is provided a holding block to hold the stacked body by coming into contact with the stacked body from a direction perpendicular to the stacking direction, and
in forming the second bonding layer, the second bonding layer is formed by causing the adhesive to protrude in a blank part adjacent to the area, the blank part being a space where the holding block is not provided in a periphery of the stacked body.

### Claim 4

A stacked core manufacturing apparatus comprising:
a puncher to punch a steel plate from a material to which an adhesive has been applied; and
a holder to hold a stacked body formed by stacking a plurality of the steel plates that have been punched out, wherein
the holder forms a second bonding layer to fix each of the plurality of the steel plates to one another in a rotary electrical machine, on a side surface including each end surface of the plurality of the steel plates in the stacked body, by applying a force in a stacking direction to the stacked body to cause the adhesive to protrude from between the steel plates adjacent to each other in the stacking direction, and causing the adhesive to spread in the stacking direction on the side surface,
the holder causes the adhesive to spread in a part of an area of a plate surface on which a first bonding layer is formed in the steel plates, by the adhesive sandwiched between the steel plates, and the holder causes the adhesive to protrude from a portion in the area of a contour of the steel plate, and
the holder includes a holding block to hold the stacked body by coming into contact with the stacked body from a direction perpendicular to the stacking direction, and the holder forms the second bonding layer by causing the adhesive to protrude in a blank part adjacent to the area, the blank part being a space where the holding block is not provided in a periphery of the stacked body.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The stacked core manufacturing apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the holder includes a plate-shaped elastic body to adjust a position of the holding block by elastic deformation, the plate-shaped elastic body being in contact with the holding block.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The stacked core manufacturing apparatus according to claim 5, wherein the holder includes an adjustment screw to move the holding block and the plate-shaped elastic body in a direction perpendicular to the stacking direction.
