Abstract

There is provided a system for readily and efficiently fabricating a wound coil composed of a bobbinless coil. The system includes a coil winding device having an upper jig to which an upper plate is attached and a lower jig to which a lower plate is attached which are provided so as to be relatively displaceable and a tension device for applying predetermined tension to a wire rod fed from a wire rod supplying source. The coil winding device is provided with a claw section having first through third split claws that function as a winding section around which the wire rod is wound between the upper and lower plates and that slide in a radial direction when the upper jig is assembled coaxially with the lower jig.

Claims (26)

1. A coil winding device for fabricating a wound coil having a coil formed by winding a wire rod and upper and lower plates for sandwiching the coil and having no coil bobbin, comprising:

an upper jig for attaching the upper plate;

a lower jig for attaching the lower plate;

the upper and lower jigs being provided so as to be relatively displaceable;

the lower jig including:

a cylindrical claw section having a peripheral surface around which the wire rod is wound and composed of a plurality of claws that slide in a radial direction;

a first spring member for urging each claw in a radial inner direction; and

a second spring member for urging the claw section upward.

2. The coil winding device as set forth in claim 1 , further comprising a ringed plate between the claw section and the second spring member.

3. The coil winding device as set forth in claim 1 , wherein a guide groove for guiding the wire rod is formed on a peripheral surface of at least one claw among the plurality of claws.

4. The coil winding device as set forth in claim 3 , wherein the peripheral surface of at least one claw among the plurality of claws is a smooth curved surface.

5. A coil winding device for fabricating a wound coil having a coil formed by winding a wire rod and upper and lower plates for sandwiching the coil, comprising:

an upper jig for attaching the upper plate; and

a lower jig for attaching the lower plate;

the upper and lower jigs being provided so as to be relatively displaceable;

the lower jig including:

a cylindrical claw section having a peripheral surface around which the wire rod is wound and composed of a plurality of claws that slide in a radial direction;

wherein the claw section opens when the upper jig is inserted into the claw section of the lower jig and the upper jig is assembled with the lower jig;

each claw presses an inner peripheral lower end surface of the upper plate axially upward and an inner peripheral upper end surface of the lower plate axially downward, respectively;

the upper jig applying pressure for pressing the upper plate vertically downward and the lower jig applying pressure for pressing the lower plate vertically upward.

6. A coil winding system for winding a coil as a wound coil, comprising:

a coil winding device provided with an upper jig to which an upper plate is attached and a lower jig to which a lower plate is attached in such a manner that the upper and lower jigs are relatively displaceable;

a wire rod supplying means for supplying a wire rod to be wound around the coil winding device as a coil; and

a tension device for applying predetermined tension to the wire rod supplied to the coil winding device;

wherein the coil winding device has a claw section as a wire winding section around which the wire rod is wound between the upper and lower plates and the claw section contains a plurality of split claws that slide in a radial direction when the upper jig is assembled coaxially with the lower jig.

7. The coil winding system according to claim 6 , wherein the wound coil has a stacked coil having the coil stacked into a plurality of levels by winding the wire rod between the upper and lower plates and a weaving wire for holding the upper and lower plates by alternately weaving projections formed around an outer periphery of the upper and lower plates.
