Abstract
A winding apparatus comprises a core jig having a circular outer circumference, plate-shaped stator core jigs designed to have a shape corresponding to stator cores, and holding jigs to be detachably installed to the outer circumference of the core jig for holding the stator core jigs. Accordingly, the plurality of divided stator cores can be subjected to winding quickly and easily. It is possible to perform an efficient winding operation.
Claims6
A winding apparatus for producing stators for electric motors, wherein a plurality of stator cores divided to have a tooth-shaped configuration are assembled into an annular structure, and said stator cores are subjected to winding to form a stator, said apparatus comprising:
- a core jig having a circular outer circumference;
- a plurality of plate-shaped stator core jigs designed to have a configuration corresponding to said stator cores;
- and
- a plurality of holding jigs each projecting radially outwardly from said outer circumference of said core jig and having ends which are installed detachably to said outer circumference of said core jig for temporarily holding said stator core jigs, each of said holding jigs comprising a pair of pin members, wherein ends of said pin members are installed to said core jig while being separated from each other in an axial direction, and wherein said stator core jigs are detachably held against said outer circumference of said core jig by said holding jigs, such that said stator core jigs project radially outwardly from said outer circumference of said core jig.
