Abstract

In a winding apparatus ( 1 ) of a stator (multi polar armature) winding a bundle of plural wire rods ( 5 ) on a circular core in which teeth (winding core) ( 9 ) are arranged circularly, an index mechanism ( 11 ) rotating the circular core ( 8 ) around its central axis, a core turning mechanism ( 30 ) turning the index mechanism ( 11 ), a nozzle ( 3 ) reeling out a plurality of wire rods ( 5 ), and a nozzle travel mechanism ( 15 ) traveling the nozzle in the three dimensional directions are provided. The index mechanism ( 11 ) and the nozzle travel mechanism ( 15 ) travel the nozzle ( 3 ) around each tooth ( 9 ) to wind the wire rods around each tooth ( 9 ), as well as the core turning mechanism ( 30 ) turns the index mechanism ( 11 ) and also the circular core ( 8 ) to eliminate the twist produced in the wire rods ( 5 ) wound around tooth ( 9 ).

Claims (28)

1. A winding method of a multi polar armature winding a bundle of a plurality of wire rods on a circular core in which a plurality of winding cores are arranged circularly, comprising the steps of:

providing an index mechanism to rotate the circular core around a central axis thereof;

providing a nozzle to reel out the plurality of the wire rods;

providing a nozzle travel mechanism to travel the nozzle;

traveling the nozzle around the winding cores to wind the wire rods around the winding cores; and

turning the circular core substantially around an axis that is offset from the central axis of the circular core, to wind the wire rods around at least one winding core of the circular core, to eliminate twist produced in the wire rods.

2. A winding apparatus of a multi polar armature winding a bundle of a plurality of wire rods on a circular core in which a plurality of winding cores are arranged circularly, comprising:

an index mechanism to rotate the circular core around a central axis thereof;

a nozzle to reel out the plurality of the wire rods; and

a nozzle travel mechanism to travel the nozzle, wherein:

the nozzle travels around the winding cores to wind the wire rods around the winding cores; and

a core turning mechanism to turn the circular core substantially around an axis that is offset from the central axis of the circular core, to wind the wire rods around at least one winding core of the circular core, to eliminate twist produced in the wire rods.

3. The winding apparatus of the multi polar armature according to claim 2 ,

wherein the core turning mechanism turns the index mechanism and the circular core for eliminating the twist produced in the wire rods.

4. The winding apparatus of the multi polar armature according to claim 3 , wherein:

the core turning mechanism turns the index mechanism and the circular core such that the nozzle travels relatively in a radial direction to restrict travel of the wire rods extending from the nozzle to the winding cores.

5. The winding apparatus of the multi polar armature according to claim 2 , wherein:

the nozzle is provided with a plurality of guide holes opened for insert of the wire rods; and

the nozzle travel mechanism is arranged in such a manner that the nozzle is rotated to separate the wire rods reeled out from each guide hole with each other.

6. The winding apparatus of the multi polar armature according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a guide pin disposed along an end of the winding core; and

a guide pin travel mechanism to travel the guide pin, wherein:

after each of the wire rods reeled out from the nozzle is hooked on the guide pin once, the guide pin is removed to drop each of the wire rods on the winding core.

7. The winding apparatus of the multi polar armature according to claim 6 wherein:

the nozzle is provided with a plurality of guide holes opened for insert of the wire rods; and

the nozzle travel mechanism is arranged in such a manner that the nozzle is rotated to separate the wire rods reeled out from each guide hole with each other.

8. The winding apparatus of the multi polar armature according to claim 2 , wherein in turning the circular core substantially around a portion of the circular core where the wire rods are wound, the core turning mechanism rotates the circular core substantially around an axis passing through the portion of the circular core where the wire rods are wound.

9. The winding method of a multi polar armature winding according to claim 1 , wherein the step of turning the circular core substantially around a portion of the circular core where the wire rods are wound further comprises rotating the circular core substantially around an axis passing through the portion of the circular core where the wire rods are wound.
