Description

  The present invention relates to a manufacturing technology for a motor of a type in which a magnet wire is directly wound around a magnetic pole tooth, and more specifically, relates to a manufacturing technology of a motor for winding a magnet wire more efficiently and with high density.

  For example, Patent Document 1 discloses an electric motor for a compressor of a refrigeration cycle, in which a cylindrical stator (stator) is fixed along an inner peripheral surface of a cylindrical hermetic shell, and a rotor (rotor) is centered on the stator. An inner rotor type electric motor arranged rotatably is shown.

  The stator of this electric motor has a stator core (stator core) in which a large number of magnetic pole teeth (teeth) project toward the center, and insulators made of a resin molded product are arranged at both ends of the stator core, An insulating sheet is disposed in the slot between the magnetic pole teeth.

  A magnet wire (coil) is wound around the outer periphery of each magnetic pole tooth. There are two methods of winding the magnet wire: a direct winding method in which the magnet wire is directly wound around the magnetic pole teeth, and a distributed winding method in which a magnet wire bundled in advance is fitted into the slot. In general, a direct winding type having good assembling workability and cost reduction effect is generally used.

  By the way, in order to use the electric motor of patent document 1 for compressors, the notch part for refrigerant | coolant circulation is provided between the airtight shell and the stator. Normally, the notch is formed on the back side of each magnetic pole tooth in order to reduce the influence on the magnetic force, but the width of the back yoke is inevitably narrowed, so that the magnetic path width lost in the past is widened. In addition, a part of the width of the base side of the winding drum portion of the magnetic pole teeth was widened.

  However, when the width of the winding drum portion is widened, the base of the winding drum portion is inclined, and it is difficult to wind the magnet wire therewith in an aligned manner. In particular, since there was a limit in the movement width of the needle, the magnet wire could not be wound outside the movement width of the needle.

Other than that, since it can be arbitrarily changed according to the specification, a specific description of its shape and material is omitted.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the stator 20 has a cylindrical stator core 40 in which the rotor 30 is disposed at the center, and a pair of insulations attached to both ends (upper and lower ends in FIG. 2) of the stator core 40. End plates (insulators) 50 and 50 are provided, and an insulating sheet (not shown) is disposed in each slot 43 of the stator core 40. In this embodiment, the stator 20 is a stator of an inner rotor type brushless motor. Further, instead of the insulating sheet, a sleeve provided integrally with a part of the insulating end plate 50 may be inserted into the slot for insulation, and in the present invention, the method for insulating the stator 20 is arbitrary.

It is used as a circulation hole.

  In addition, although the formation position of the notch groove 41 and the refrigerant | coolant circulation hole 45 can be changed arbitrarily by specification, it is preferable to provide in the back side (outer peripheral side) of each magnetic pole tooth 42a-42i. In this example, the stator core 40 is made of a laminated body of electromagnetic steel sheets, but may be a cast-molded product, a metal powder sintered-molded product, or the like.

  The stator core 40 has magnetic pole teeth 42a to 42i at nine positions arranged at equal intervals along the circumferential direction, and the tip ends of the magnetic pole teeth 42a to 42i are curved in an arc shape along the shape of the rotor. The magnetic pole surface 421 thus formed is formed.

  Since the number of the magnetic pole teeth 42a to 42i is nine, the slot 43 formed between the magnetic pole teeth 42a to 42i is also 9 slots as the number of the magnetic pole teeth 42a to 42i, but the magnetic pole teeth 42a to 42i and The number of slots 43 (slot combination) can be arbitrarily changed according to specifications.

  Since each of the magnetic pole teeth 42a to 42i has the same shape, the magnetic pole teeth 42a will be described below as an example. The magnetic pole teeth 42a have a winding drum portion 422 extending from the inside of the yoke 40a toward the center, and make up for the magnetic path width lost due to the formation of the notch groove 41 on the base side of the winding drum portion 422. A widened portion 423 is provided.

  Each slot 43 is formed with a slot opening 44 into which a needle 60 (see FIG. 5) (winding supply nozzle) is inserted when winding the winding around each of the magnetic pole teeth 42a to 42i. The slot opening 44 is formed of a slit groove formed along the axial direction of the adjacent magnetic pole surface 421.

  Next, the insulating end plates 50 and 50 will be described. Since the insulating end plates 50 and 50 are vertically symmetrical with respect to the stator core 40, the upper insulating end plate 50 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the insulating end plate 50 is made of a synthetic resin molded product. In this example, when the insulating end plate 50 is required to have refrigerant resistance as a motor for a refrigerant compressor in a refrigeration cycle, for example, PBT. (Polybutylene terephthalate), PPS (polyphenylene sulfide), a liquid crystal polymer, a fluororesin, or the like is preferably used.

  The insulating end plate 50 includes a bobbin 51 formed in a ring shape and nine tooth ends 52 attached so as to cover the ends of the teeth 42 a to 42 i of the stator core 40. The bobbin 51 is formed of a cylindrical body having a predetermined height, and a locking portion 511 for hooking a connecting wire of the winding is provided on the outer peripheral surface thereof.

  The locking portion 511 is formed in, for example, a T-shape, an L-shape, or an inverted L-shape, and at different height positions so that the connecting wires of the windings wound around each tooth do not buffer each other. Has been placed. The shape and arrangement of the locking portion 511 can be arbitrarily changed according to specifications.

  The bobbin 51 is provided with a guide slot 512 for guiding the connecting wire bundled for each phase to the inside of the bobbin. The guide slot 512 is a slit groove cut from one end side (the upper end side in FIG. 2) of the bobbin 51 toward the other end side, and a crossover (not shown) passes through the guide slot 512 inside the bobbin 51. Be drawn into.

  The teeth end 52 has a winding portion 521 extending from the inner peripheral surface of the bobbin 51 toward the center, and a flange portion that is formed on the distal end side of the winding portion 521 and prevents the magnet wire from falling off. 522. The teeth end 52 is formed in a shape that matches the end portions of the magnetic pole teeth 42 a to 42 i of the stator core 40.

  As shown in FIG. 4A, the winding portion 521 of each tooth end 52 is slightly wider than the width of the winding drum portion 422 of the stator core 40 and covers the upper end surface of the winding drum portion 422. The bobbin 51 and the collar part 522 are standing substantially perpendicularly at the both ends. The winding portion 521 and the base portion between the bobbin 51 and the flange portion 522 are provided with an R portion having a predetermined curvature for winding the magnet wire 70 with good alignment.

  In FIG. 4A, the winding portion 521 is a smooth surface. More preferably, as shown in FIG. 4B, the surface of the winding portion 521 is semicircular in accordance with the cross-sectional shape of the magnet wire. The locking groove 523 may be formed continuously. According to this, the magnet wire can be aligned and wound by being locked along the locking groove 523.

  Moreover, as another aspect, as shown in FIG.4 (c), you may perform the anti-slip | skid prevention process 524 on the surface of the coil | winding part 521. FIG. As the anti-slip treatment, for example, a high friction treatment such as knurling or a material having a high friction coefficient such as LCP (liquid crystal polymer) or PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) may be adopted, and the strength is further increased. Therefore, glass or the like may be added as an additive.

  The end face (lower end face) facing the magnetic pole teeth 42a to 42i of the insulating end plate 50 is provided with a locking rib (not shown) that is inserted into a locking hole 46 provided on the stator core 40 side shown in FIG. By inserting the locking rib into the locking hole 46, the insulating end plate 50 is fixed to the stator core.

  Next, the manufacturing procedure of the stator 20 will be described. Assuming that insulating end plates 50 and 50 are attached to both ends of the stator core 40 in advance, the stator 20 is first attached to a dedicated winding device (not shown). The winding device includes a support base (not shown) to which the stator 20 is fixed, and a needle 60 (see FIGS. 5A to 5D) that feeds the magnet wire 70.

  In this example, the support pedestal can rotate in the θ direction (the rotation direction about the axis of the stator 20), and the clockwise rotation is + θ and the counterclockwise rotation is −θ. The needle 60 can reciprocate in the radial direction and can move up and down along the axial direction. The magnet wire 70 is wound around each of the magnetic pole teeth 42a to 42i. Hereinafter, a case where the magnet wire 70 is wound around the magnetic pole teeth 42a will be described.

  5A shows a state before the magnet wire 70 is wound, and after the stator 20 is fixed to the support pedestal, the magnet fed out from the tip of the needle 60 as shown in FIG. 5B. A part of the wire 70 is hooked on the bobbin 51 of the insulating end plate 50, and the magnet wire is drawn from the guide slot 512 to the inner peripheral side of the stator 20. This state is the initial state.

  In this initial state, the winding operation is started by operating the winding start button. When the winding operation is started, a control unit (not shown) moves the needle 60 located on the upper end side to the lower end side along the axial direction, and then rotates the support base by one magnetic pole tooth 22a in the + θ direction. Next, the needle 70 is lifted again from the lower end to the upper end, and finally the support pedestal is again rotated in the −θ direction by one magnetic pole tooth 22a (winding step).

  With this series of operations, the magnet wire 70 is wound by one turn along the outer peripheral surface of the winding drum portion 422. Next, the control unit moves the needle 60 by a predetermined pitch along the radial direction, and then repeats the above-described series of operation steps, whereby a magnet is formed along the winding drum 422 as shown in FIG. Wire 70 is aligned and wound.

  Here, the moving pitch of the needle 60 is preferably 80 to 90% of the wire diameter of the magnet wire 70. According to this, the magnet wire 70 to be wound next is wound while being in contact with the previously wound magnet wire 70, so that the magnet wire 70 can be tightly wound while approaching. Further, variations in the diameter of the magnet wire 70 can be absorbed.

  When the magnet wire 70 corresponding to the number of turns set in the winding drum 422 is wound, the control unit changes the moving direction of the needle 60, and as shown in FIG. The magnet wire 70 is further wound around the magnet 70, and the magnet wire 70 is laminated on the winding body 422 by repeating this process.

  By the way, in the winding procedure shown in FIGS. 5A to 5D, the magnet wire 70 cannot be evenly wound around the widened portion 423 at the base of the winding drum portion 422. Therefore, in the present invention, as shown in FIG. 6 (a), the control means first moves the needle 60 toward the tip along the radial direction with the root of the magnetic pole tooth 22a as the start end (magnet wire 70a). Then, after winding the magnet wire 70 of the first round around the winding drum portion 422 and a part of the widening portion 423, the needle 60 is folded back and the magnet wire 70 of the second round is rooted from the tip side of the winding drum portion 422. Wind sequentially to the deepest position X toward the side.

  When the magnet wire 70 is wound up to the deepest reaching position X of the needle 60, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), the control means wraps the magnet wire 70c on the magnet wire 70b positioned at the terminal end (see FIG. 6B). Overlap step). In this example, the term “end” refers to the last magnet wire that is aligned and wound from the tip of the magnetic pole tooth 22a toward the base, and the term “overlap” refers to the next magnet wire at least at a predetermined position above the last magnet wire. Say to wrap.

  After the magnet wire 70c is overwrapped, the control means rotates the support pedestal by + θ so that a certain tension is applied to the magnet wire 70c. As a result, the magnet wire 70c immediately above is slid down on the magnet wire 70b by the tension and is placed on the widened portion 423 over the deepest reaching position X (dropping step).

  Similarly, as shown in FIG. 6C, the magnet wire 70d is placed on the magnet wires 70b and 70c by winding the magnet wire 70d on top of the magnet wire 70b and then dropping it under tension. As a result, the magnet wire 70 of the second round is wound.

  As shown in FIG. 6 (d), the magnet wire 70 in the third round moves from the root side of the magnetic pole teeth 22a toward the tip side, thereby moving the magnet wire 70 in the second round. The magnet wire 70 of the 3rd round is laminated | stacked on this. In the third winding operation, no dropping operation is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 6E, the fourth round is wound from the tip side (tooth surface side) of the magnetic pole teeth 22a toward the root side. When the needle 60 is wound to the deepest reach position X, the control means wraps the magnet wire 70f on the upper right of the magnet wire 70e located at the end.

  When tension is applied to the overwrapped magnet wire 70f, the magnet wire 70f slides down from the magnet wire 70e, gets over the deepest reaching position X, and is wound around the upper left of the magnet wire 70d of the widened portion 423.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6 (f), the magnet wire 70g is further wound on the magnet wire 70e, and the magnet wire 70h is further wound around the magnet wire 70e. And magnet wire 70f. Thus, the fourth winding is completed.

  As shown in FIG. 6 (g), the winding operation for the fifth round is sequentially performed from the base portion side of the magnetic pole teeth 22a toward the distal end side, so that the dropping operation is not performed. Finally, as shown in FIG. 6 (h), all the windings are performed by winding the magnet wire 70 of the sixth round from the tip side toward the root side on the magnet wire 70 of the fifth round. The work is complete.

  According to this, as shown in FIG. 7, on the stator core 40 side, the magnet wire 70 is sequentially aligned and wound around the winding drum portion 422 and the widened portion 423, and part of the needle 60 is By arranging behind the deepest reach position X, the magnet wire 70 can be wound more, and the motor can have higher output. Further, even on the insulating end plate 30 side, by arranging the magnet wires 70 in an aligned manner, the winding can be wound with higher efficiency and higher density.

  In this example, the needle 60 can reciprocate in the radial direction, and can move up and down in the axial direction, and the stator 2 can rotate about the axis via the support pedestal, but the support pedestal is completely fixed. The needle 60 may be rotated 360 ° with respect to the magnetic pole teeth 22a, and the magnet wire 70 may be wound only by the needle 60.

  In this example, the electric motor 10 has been described by taking an example of an inner rotor type electric motor in which the magnetic pole teeth 22a to 22i are formed toward the center. However, the dropping operation of the present invention is provided with the magnetic pole teeth protruding outward. An outer rotor type electric motor is also applicable. In some cases, the present invention can also be applied as a winding method for an axial air gap type motor in which the rotor and the stator are arranged to face each other along the axial direction.

  In this example, the electric motor 10 has been described using an electric motor used in a compressor for compressing refrigerant (compressor). However, the present invention is applicable to an electric motor as a general application (for example, a fan drive motor of an air conditioner). The electric motor and the winding method may be applied.
