Split stator segment manufacturing method

1. A split stator segment manufacturing method comprising the steps of:

setting a split core segment in a lower die of a molding die including a first upper die and a second upper die, which are selectively used, and the lower die;

forming an insulator on the split core segment on a teeth side by resin molding using the first upper die;

changing the first upper die to the second upper die;

mounting a formed coil wound in a predetermined shape onto the teeth of the split core segment, and

molding the formed coil with resin by the second upper die and the lower die.

2. The split stator segment manufacturing method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the method comprises:

supplying resin in the lower die so as to surround the teeth of the split core segment before closing the first upper die and the lower die, and then closing and clamping the first upper die and the lower die to form the insulator from the resin;

opening the first upper die and the lower die;

changing the first upper die to the second upper die;

mounting the formed coil onto the teeth of the split core segment and supplying resin in the lower die before closing the second upper die and the lower die;

closing and clamping the second upper die and the lower die to mold the formed coil with the resin.

3. The split stator manufacturing method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the method further comprises:

inserting a first solid resin element formed in annular shape in the lower die to surround the teeth of the split core segment set in the lower die, before closing the first upper die and the lower die;

closing and clamping the first upper die and the lower die to heat and compress the first resin element to form the insulator;

opening the first upper die and the lower die;

changing the first upper die to the second upper die;

mounting the formed coil while compressing the coil onto the teeth of the split core segment and inserting a second solid resin element formed in annular shape in the lower die before closing the second upper die and the lower die;

closing and clamping the second upper die and the lower die to heat and compress the second resin element to mold the formed coil with resin.

4. The split stator manufacturing method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the method comprises:

placing the first upper die and the second upper die on the same fixed base and placing a pair of lower dies on a movable platen;

simultaneously forming the insulator and molding the winding portion with respect to different split core segments respectively by closing and clamping the molding die once; and

interchanging positions of the pair of lower dies by rotation of the rotatable platen to newly form the insulator and mold the winding portion with resin with respect to different split core segments respectively at the same time.
