Dynamoelectric winding end portion forming apparatus
View Patent ↗A holding jig is made into cylindrical body that has a conductor insertion aperture, and a conductor end portion is inserted into the conductor insertion aperture in a loosely-fitted state and held. The holding jig is moved along an arc that has a radius L that is centered around a projecting root portion of the conductor end portion to a vicinity of a coil end to bend and form the conductor end portion into a desired lead around shape.
1. A dynamoelectric winding end portion forming apparatus in which a plurality of conductor end portions that project axially outside a stator core adjacently from a coil end of a stator winding that is wound onto said stator core are selected and formed by bending, said dynamoelectric winding end portion forming apparatus comprising:
a holding jig that independently holds a selected conductor end portion so as to permit movement of said selected conductor end portion in an axial direction and restrain movement thereof in a direction that is perpendicular to said axial direction, wherein said holding jig is an elongated cylindrical body having a longitudinal central axis alone which is formed a conductor insertion aperture that has an inside diameter slightly larger than an outside diameter of said selected conductor end portion and a tip end that faces the coil end of the stator winding;
a holding jig elevating portion that moves said holding jig so as to make said conductor insertion aperture hold a region of said selected conductor end portion that is a predetermined distance away from said coil end in an axial direction of said stator core; and
a main drive portion that moves said conductor insertion aperture that is holding said region of said selected conductor end portion to a vicinity of said coil end along an arc that is centered around a projecting root end portion of said selected conductor end portion located near said coil end and that has a radius equal to a distance from the tip end to the projecting root end portion thereby simultaneously forming two bends on said selected conductor end portion wherein a first bend is located at the projecting root end portion of said selected conductor end portion and a second bend is located on a portion of said the conductor end portion located near the tip end of said conductor insertion aperture.
2. A dynamoelectric winding end portion forming apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein said holding jig holds said region of said selected conductor end portion so as to cover an outer circumference of said region.
3. A dynamoelectric winding end portion forming apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a clamping jig that selects and secures said selected conductor end portion so as to permit movement of said selected conductor end portion in said axial direction and restrain movement thereof in a direction that is perpendicular to said axial direction; and
a clamping jig drive portion that drives said clamping jig so as to secure or release said selected conductor end portion.
