The operation of the winding device 10 thus configured will be described below.

First, a predetermined number of plates are laminated to form the stator core 14, while the swing support member 54 constituting the holding mechanism 30 is held in the upright posture. Then, as shown in FIG. 6, a push rod 86 constituting the drive mechanism 36 is protruded, and the clamp member 72 is forcibly moved vertically upward (opening direction) against the elastic force of the spring 76 by the push rod 86. Supported by In this state, the stator core 14 is disposed on the swing support member 54. At this time, the stator core 14 is inserted into the hole 27 while the arc-shaped outer peripheral surface of the head 20 is guided by the curved receiving portion 70 of the swing support member 54. And is held accurately.

Next, the push rod 86 is retracted, the clamp member 72 constituting the clamp means 56 swings vertically downward (closing direction) by the elastic force of the spring 76, and the clamp member 72 14 is pressed toward the bending portion 66 of the swing support member 54. For this reason, the stator core 14 is pressed and held against the holding mechanism 30. After holding the stator core 14, the swing support member 54 changes the posture from the vertical posture to the horizontal posture via the support shaft 64. Thereby, the stator core 14 is moved from the horizontal posture to the vertical posture, that is, the leg 2 which is the rotor side end.
2 are arranged so as to be directed vertically upward (see FIG. 5).

In a state where the stator core 14 is rotated to the vertical posture, or from this state, the index table 3 is rotated.
After 2 is indexed, the winding mechanism 34 is driven. In this winding mechanism 34, the linear coil 16a is fed out from a nozzle 84 provided at the tip of the flyer main body 82, and the flyer main body 82 is integrated with the rotary shaft 80 under the action of a rotation drive source (not shown). Rotate. Therefore, the winding coil 16 is attached to the leg 22 of the stator core 14.
Is formed.

At this time, the second drive cam member 90 constituting the drive mechanism 36 is moving upward, and its tapered surface 92
Comes into contact with the tapered surface 60 of the driven cam member 58 and

Direction (inward radius). Therefore, the holding mechanism 30 is securely and firmly held from both sides in the radial direction via the first and second drive cam members 88 and 90, and the winding operation by the winding mechanism 34 is smoothly and rapidly performed. become.

After the winding work by the stator core 14 is completed, the winding mechanism 34 once applies a winding process to the locking pin 28 provided on the commutator member 18 and then presses the new holding mechanism 30. The winding work for the held stator core 14 is performed. Here, the first drive cam member 88 holds the holding mechanism 30 while the winding operation by the winding mechanism 34 is being performed, and in a direction opposite to the arrow A direction after the winding processing is completed. It moves and is arranged at a predetermined retreat position.

On the other hand, the second drive cam member 90 performs a winding process on each stator core 14 held by all the holding mechanisms 30 so that the holding mechanism 30 does not move in the direction of arrow A when the index table 32 rotates. Until the end, it is engaged with the driven cam member 58.

As described above, in the present embodiment, all (9
After the stator cores 14 are held by the holding mechanisms 30 and the winding coils 16 are formed on the respective stator cores 14 via the winding mechanism 34 (see FIG. 7), the push rod 9
4 moves upward, and the swing support member 54 rotates 90 ° about the support shaft 64 (see FIGS. 8 and 9).

Under the pressing action of the push rod 94, the swing support member 54 constituting each holding mechanism 30 rotates 90 °,
When all the stator cores 14 on which the winding coils 16 are formed are held in a horizontal posture, the second drive cam member 90 moves downward and separates from the driven cam member 58 as shown in FIG. The table 96 descends. For this reason,
First, the pressing rod 98 presses the clamp member 72 constituting the clamp means 56 from above, and this clamp member 7
2, the stator core 14 is firmly pressed and held.

Next, the third driving cam member 104 comes into contact with the swing support member 54, and the movable table 52 is moved to the opening 38 of the index table 32 under the pressing action of the tapered surface 106 of the third driving cam member 104. Move in the direction of arrow A. Therefore, the nine holding mechanisms 30 correspond to the winding coils 16.
Are moved integrally toward the center of the annular shape, and the stator cores 14 engage with each other (see FIG. 11). Specifically, a concave portion 24 provided on the head 20 of one stator core 14 is provided with a convex portion 26 provided on the head 20 of the other stator core 14.
Are fitted, and the nine stator cores 14 are engaged with each other and arranged in an annular shape.

When the swing support member 54 is rotated by 90 ° via the push rod 94, the coil 16
As a result, the linear coil 16a wound around the locking pin 28 of the commutator member 18 becomes loose. Therefore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the rotating shaft 42 holding the commutator member 18 moves vertically downward under the driving action of the cylinder 48 synchronized with the lifting operation of the push rod 94. A predetermined tension can be applied to the linear coil 16a.

When the holding mechanism 30 moves in the direction of arrow A via the third drive cam member 104, the commutator member 18 descends under the action of the cylinder 48, as shown in FIG. A predetermined tension is applied to the linear coil 16a that is bridged from the pin 16 to the locking pin 28. Next, the stator 12 is obtained by arranging the stator cores 14 in an annular shape and then arranging them in the outer diameter ring 13.

In this case, in the present embodiment, when the stator core 14 is held by the swing support member 54, the stator core 14 is once placed in the upright position under the rotation of the swing support member 54. Therefore, the winding process can be easily and quickly performed on the stator core 14 via the winding mechanism 34. Further, the stator core 1 after the winding process
4 is rotated from the vertical posture to the horizontal posture, and then moved toward the center of the annular shape under the pressing action of the third drive cam member 104, whereby the stator cores 14 engage with each other to form a circle. An annular stator 12 is obtained.

As a result, the winding process can be easily and efficiently performed by using a single winding device 10, the productivity can be easily improved, and the entire configuration of the winding device 10 can be effectively used. The effect that it becomes possible to simplify is obtained. Moreover, it is only necessary to use a single holding mechanism 30 for each stator core 14, and the number of components can be greatly reduced as compared with a conventional one using other types of jigs. There is an advantage that manufacturing costs can be effectively reduced.
