Abstract

An object of the invention is to increase productivity of a coil. A coil forming device according to the present invention includes: a first bending unit 200 A that performs a compression bending process with respect to a linear conductor; and a second bending unit 200 B that performs a draw bending process with respect to the linear conductor, wherein the first bending unit 200 A and the second bending unit 200 B are integrated in one device, and wherein the first bending unit 200 A and the second bending unit 200 B are switched to access one linear conductor so as to perform the compression bending process and the draw bending process onto the one linear conductor.

Claims (11)

1. A stator for a rotating electric device, comprising:

a plurality of slots formed in an iron core, and

a plurality of split coils inserted into the plurality of slots, wherein each split coil of the plurality of split coils are coated with an insulating film,

wherein each split coil includes:

a plurality of first bent portions having an inner peripheral side thicker than a radially opposite outer peripheral side of the plurality of first bent, the first bent portions having a cross-section formed in a trapezoidal shape,

a second bent portion having an impression on an inner peripheral side of the second bent portion, and

a straight portion, having a rectangular cross-section, disposed between the first bent portion and the second bent portion,

wherein the second bent portion is arranged between two of the plurality of first bent portions.

2. A rotating electric device, comprising:

a stator for a rotating electric device according to claim 1 ; and

a rotor.
