Abstract
A conductor forming device which folds a group of conductors in thickness directions, the group of conductors including a plurality of conductors having straight parts, includes a restrainer provided with a plurality of grooves in which fold parts of the conductors each consisting of at least two unit wires are fitted and which limit a width of each of the conductors to a predetermined distance, when the conductors each consisting of the at least two unit wires are to be folded.
Claims4
A conductor forming device which folds a group of conductors in thickness directions, the group of conductors including a plurality of conductors having straight parts, the conductor forming device comprising:
- a restrainer provided with a plurality of grooves in which fold parts of the conductors each consisting of at least two unit wires are fitted and which limit a width of each of the conductors to a predetermined distance, when the conductors each consisting of the at least two unit wires are to be folded.
A method of manufacturing a wave winding coil from coil wire, the wave winding coil including a plurality of in-slot disposition parts to be disposed in slots of a stator core, and a turning part that couples the in-slot disposition parts adjacent to each other, the method comprising:
- a folding step of forming the turning part by folding two or more unit wires at the same time in a state where a width of an apex part of the turning part consisting of the at least two unit wires is limited to a predetermined distance.
