Abstract

The stacked core assembly apparatus, which can perform assembly at a high speed while keeping strength of an angle indexing apparatus, comprises a press machine 1 , a non-synchronous transmitting apparatus 10 and an angle indexing apparatus 7. The non-synchronous transmitting apparatus 10 transforms a constant revolution of the press machine 1 into a variable revolution. The angle indexing apparatus 7 is connected to the non-synchronous transmitting apparatus 10 via a coupling device 20, and is connected to a rotatably stacking cavity device 51 of a press die 5. An accelerated rotational speed period of an output shaft 13 of the non-synchronous transmitting apparatus 10 is set during a Feeding-Phase period of time of the press machine 1, and thereby, a rotational state completion of a driving shaft 33 of the angle indexing apparatus 7 completes earlier than the Feeding-Phase period of time completion of the press machined 1 so that a non-rotating period of time can be provided as to settle pivoting motion of stacking cavity device prior to a Machining-phase period starts.

Claims (3)

1. A stacked core assembly method, which performs stacking in a manner of sequentially rotating a stacking cavity device when assembling a stacked member, the stacked core assembly method comprising the step of:

arranging, in the stacking process, an angle indexing apparatus for intermittently rotating the stacking cavity device and having an angle indexing input shaft and an angle indexing output shaft interconnected to the angle indexing input shaft, a non-synchronous transmitting device having a continuously rotating input shaft and an intermittently rotating output shaft interconnected to the continuously rotating input shaft, the intermittently rotating output shaft being interconnected to the angle indexing input shaft for synchronous intermittent rotation therewith, and a press machine for continuously rotating the continuously rotating input shaft of the non-synchronous indexing apparatus, wherein the intermittently rotating output shaft, the angle indexing input shaft and the angle indexing output shaft intermittently and simultaneously rotate with each other such that the angle indexing output shaft interconnected to the stacking cavity device and the stacking cavity device are in a non-rotating state for a non-rotating period of time after completion of being in a rotating state for a rotating period of time and before completion of a Feeding-Phase period of time, within a predetermined range of the Feeding-Phase period of time.

2. The stacked core assembly method according to claim 1 , wherein the non-rotating period of time is set by driving the output driving shaft of the angle indexing apparatus in an accelerated rotational speed during the predetermined Feed-Phase period of time.
