Description

  The present invention relates to a laminate applied to a motor core and the like, and a manufacturing method thereof.

  When stacking plate materials punched into a predetermined shape to produce a laminated body, as a joining method, a convex portion processed into a plate material and a concave portion processed into another plate material adjacent to the plate material are fitted, and its caulking force A method of joining the plate materials is used.

  As a manufacturing method thereof, a metal plate material intermittently fed is punched with a punch and a die, and the punched plate material is located under the die and has a central hole with an inner diameter slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the plate material. Loading by the friction force (side pressure) generated on the outer peripheral surface of the plate and the inner diameter of the side pressure ring and the force generated from above the plate by the punching force of the punch. A method of manufacturing a laminated body is used in which the plate members thus formed are brought into close contact with each other and fixed by fitting the convex portions and the concave portions already processed into the plate members.

  At this time, if the lateral pressure is too strong, the plate material is warped, and if it is too weak, it cannot be fixed by caulking. Further, if there is a gap between the plate materials, the electric resistance increases, and if the laminate is a motor core, the efficiency of the motor is deteriorated, so that the adhesion between the plate materials is also required to be good.

  When the plate material is circular, the installation position r from the center of the rugged portion for caulking to be processed into the plate material is set to r> 0.8R, where R is the radial dimension to the outer peripheral portion of the plate material. Then, since there is an uneven portion in the vicinity of the punched portion of the outer shape of the plate material during processing, it is structurally difficult to install a cutting tool for punching, and when r <0.7R, the side pressure for caulking Acts on the outer peripheral portion of the plate material, and the location where the side pressure is generated is separated from the position of the concavo-convex portion. Therefore, the plate materials are not squeezed well, and a gap is generated between the plate materials. Therefore, it is general that the unevenness installation position is 0.7R ≦ r ≦ 0.8R.

  Hereinafter, an example of manufacturing a conventional laminate will be described with reference to the drawings.

  7 is a front sectional view showing a schematic configuration of a conventional laminate manufacturing apparatus, FIG. 8 is a plan view of a conventional side pressure ring (with a product inserted), FIG. 9 is a plan view of a conventional side pressure ring, and FIG. Is a plan view of a conventional laminate, and FIG. 11 is a front sectional view showing a caulked state of the conventional laminate.

  In FIG. 7, the original plate material 22 formed with projections 23 that are uneven at regular intervals on the upper and lower surfaces is intermittently sent to the plate material removal step at regular intervals. When the fed original plate material 22 is temporarily stopped, the punching punch 21 is lowered to press the original plate material 22. When the punching punch 21 enters the punching die 24 together with the original plate material 22, a plate material 26 having the same shape as the tip of the punching punch 21 is punched from the original plate material 22.

  Thereafter, the plate material 26 is punched from the original plate material 22 that is intermittently fed in the same manner as described above, and is stacked one after another in the punching die 24, and each time the plate material 26 is punched from the original plate material 22 by the punching punch 21. The plate material 26 loaded in the punching die 24 moves downward by the thickness of the plate material 26. Then, the punched plate material 26 passes through the punching die 24 and enters the side pressure ring 25 disposed under the punching die 24.

  As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the inner diameter of the side pressure ring 25 is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the punched plate material 26, so the outer peripheral surface 26 a of the plate material 26 and the inner peripheral surface 25 a of the side pressure ring 25. Frictional force is generated. Further, the plate material 26 punched by the punching punch 21 from above enters the side pressure ring 25.

  Since the force applied from above by the punching punch 21 in the plate material 26 is larger than the frictional force, the plate material 26 loaded on the side pressure ring 25 gradually moves downward. At that time, the punched plate members 26 are brought into close contact with each other, and the projections of the projections 23 formed on the plate member 26 and the recesses of the projections 23 of the plate member 26 stacked therebelow are fitted together. As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the laminated body 27 is formed by caulking and fixing each other.

  If the installation position of the projection 23 is installed near the outer peripheral surface 26a of the plate member 26, the projection 23 is greatly affected by the frictional force generated on the outer peripheral surface 26a and the inner peripheral surface 25a of the side pressure ring 25. The 23 convex portions and the concave portions fit deeply, and a strong caulking force can be generated. However, since the shape of the outer peripheral surface 26a in the vicinity of the protruding portion 23 is deformed if the protruding portion 23 is installed too close to the outer peripheral surface 26a of the plate material 26, the installation position r of the protruding portion 23 is When the outer diameter is R, it is appropriate that r ≦ 0.8R.

  Further, if the installation position of the protrusion 23 is further set inside the center portion of the plate member 26, the influence of the frictional force generated on the side pressure ring 25 and the plate member 26 is small, so that the protrusion and the recess of the protrusion 23 are formed. Since the fitting force is only the strength of the plate member 26, the strength of the plate member 26 is lost compared to the fitting force in the protrusion 23, and the plate member 26 is warped, and a sufficient caulking force cannot be generated. A gap is generated between the plate members 26. The thinner the plate 26, the more pronounced its adverse effects. Therefore, it is appropriate that the installation position of the protrusion 23 is in a range of r ≧ 0.7R.

  Therefore, the installation position of the projection 23 is generally set in the range of 0.7R ≦ r ≦ 0.8R as described above by combining with the above conditions.

In addition, conventionally, in order to prevent warpage occurring in the plate material by caulking and fixing, the plate material in advance in a direction opposite to the warpage occurring due to caulking and fixing in a step prior to the final removal step. A method of warping is adopted (for example, see Patent Document 1).
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-243669

  Conventionally, the installation position of the caulking protrusion is generally 0.7R ≦ r ≦ 0.8R. However, in the case of a laminated body used for a motor core, the installation position of the protrusion is related to the magnetic field and magnetic density. Is suitable to be installed at half the radius of the plate (r≈0.5R), and by doing so, the motor characteristics are improved. In particular, when the thickness of the plate material is reduced (t ≦ 0.3 mm), the effect is increased.

  However, if the installation position of the protrusion is to be installed in the center (center) direction away from the outer peripheral surface of the plate material, the position to be caulked and fixed is away from the outer peripheral surface where the side pressure is generated. Warping occurs in the plate material, and the force that generates the caulking pressure due to the thickness of the plate becomes weak, and caulking is difficult to fix. In particular, it is more difficult when the plate thickness is as thin as 0.1 mm or less. Therefore, in the prior art, the protrusions (caulking positions) have to be set in the range of 0.7R ≦ r ≦ 0.8R.

  Further, if the caulking fixing position is set near the center of the plate material, the plate material is warped. As a countermeasure, as described above, there is a method of warping the product in a direction opposite to the direction in which the warpage occurs. However, when this method is applied, a warp correction process is necessary, and the warpage of the plate material is the processing speed or Since it differs depending on the processing conditions such as the type of processing oil, it becomes very difficult to set how much warpage is generated in advance in the plate material. The basic idea of this method is based on the premise that warpage occurs in the plate material.

  The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and obtains a strong laminate without any gap between the plate materials by fixing the plate material punched into a predetermined shape without crimping the plate material. With the goal.

  In order to achieve the above object, a method for manufacturing a laminate and a laminate of the present invention include the outer peripheral surface and an inner peripheral surface formed inside the outer peripheral surface. The caulking is performed in a state where the first frictional force is applied to the outer peripheral surface and the second frictional force is applied to the inner peripheral surface, whereby the frictional force is applied to the outer side and the inner side of the plate material, respectively. Thus, the distance R from the central part of the laminated surface of the plate material to the outer peripheral surface, and the distance r from the central part of the caulked portion between the convex part of the plate material and the concave part of the other plate material to the central part of the laminated surface of the plate material, It becomes possible to satisfy 0.4R <r <0.7R.

  According to the present invention, since the caulking fixing position can be set to satisfy 0.4R <r <0.7R as described above, the flatness of the laminated body can be improved as compared with the conventional one. In addition, the caulking force between the plate materials is strengthened. The present invention is particularly effective when the plate thickness is 0.3 mm or less. Moreover, if this laminated body is used for a motor core, an iron loss (motor loss) can be reduced.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a front sectional view showing a schematic configuration of a laminate manufacturing apparatus for explaining an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view of a side pressure ring (a state in which a product is inserted) of the present embodiment, and FIG. FIG. 4 is a plan view of the laminated body of the present embodiment, and FIG. 5 is a front sectional view showing a caulked state of the laminated body of the present embodiment.

  In FIG. 1, an original plate material 12 on which projections 13 that are uneven at regular intervals on the upper and lower surfaces are intermittently sent to the plate material removal step at regular intervals. The fed original plate material 12 is intermittently stopped, and when the punching is stopped, the punching punch 11 is lowered to press the original plate material 12 and is punched into a predetermined plate material 16 by the punching die 14. Since the punching punch 11 is inserted into the punching die 14 by about 0.5 mm, the punched plate 16 is also pressed by the punching punch 11 and enters the punching die 14.

  After that, the plate material 16 is punched from the original plate material 12 that is intermittently sent in the same manner as described above, and is stacked one after another in the punching die 14, and each time the plate material 16 is punched by the punch 11 from the original plate material 12, The plate material 16 laminated in the punching die 14 moves downward by the thickness of the plate material 16. The punched plate 16 passes through the punching die 14 and enters the side pressure ring 15 disposed below it.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, since the inner diameter of the side pressure ring 15 is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the punched plate member 16, the outer peripheral surface 16a of the plate member 16 and the inner diameter portion 15a of the side pressure ring 15 Frictional force is generated. That is, at the time of caulking and fixing, the first frictional force F1 in the direction from the outer peripheral surface 16a of the plate material 16 toward the central portion (center portion) acts on the plate material 16 and caulking is performed. Further, the plate material 16 punched by the punching punch 11 enters the side pressure ring 15 from above.

  Since the force pressed from above by the punching punch 11 is larger than the first frictional force F1, the plate 16 stacked on the side pressure ring 15 gradually moves downward. At that time, the punched plate members 16 are in close contact with each other, and the protrusions of the protrusions 13 formed on the plate member 16 and the recesses of the protrusions 13 of the other plate members 16 stacked thereunder are fitted to each other. 16 are fixed by caulking, and a laminated body 17 is formed as shown in FIGS.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, a large number of pressure members 18 extending radially from the side pressure ring 15 to the central hole of the side pressure ring 15 are installed between the slot portions 16 b of the plate 16. In addition, an elastic body 19 that urges the pressing member 18 toward the plate material is disposed. When the pressing member 18 is pushed out by the pressure of the elastic body 19, a frictional force is generated between the tip of the pressing member 18 and the inner peripheral surface 16 c formed on the plate member 16. That is, the second frictional force F2 in the direction from the center portion of the plate material 16 toward the outer peripheral surface 16a is applied to the plate material 16 and caulking is performed.

  The pushing amount of the pressure member 18 at this time can be adjusted by changing the thickness of the flange portion 18 a of the pressure member 18 disposed in the side pressure ring 15. The pressure can be adjusted by changing the elastic force of the elastic body 19. If the frictional force generated by the pressure member 18 on the inner peripheral surface 16c of the plate member 16 is large, the inner portion of the plate member 16 is deformed. Pressure cannot be obtained, and a gap is generated between the plate members 16 or the plate member 16 is warped. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the frictional force so that the unevenness of the adjacent protrusions 13 fits well and the inner part of the plate 16 is not deformed.

  Further, if the tip surface of the pressure member 18 that contacts the inner peripheral surface 16c of the plate member 16 has a shape that contacts the shape of the plate member 16 rather than a straight shape, there is less influence of deforming the inner shape portion of the plate member 16 and friction. Adjustment of force becomes easy.

  By adopting such a configuration of the present embodiment, a frictional force can be generated on the outer peripheral surface 16a and the inner peripheral surface 16c of the plate member 16, and therefore the installation position r of the protrusion 13 on the plate member 16 is set to 0. .4R <r <0.7R.

  As in the present embodiment, when the laminated body 17 in which the installation position of the protrusion 13 is set to satisfy the above 0.4R <r <0.7R is used for the core of the motor, the iron loss (motor loss) is 5 It decreased about%. Moreover, the flatness of the laminate could be improved from about 0.02 to 0.01 or less. Further, the caulking force between the plate members 16 is strengthened. This effect was particularly effective when the plate thickness was 0.3 mm or less.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the installation position r of the caulking projection 13 is not limited to one row on the circumference of the circular plate 16 within the range of 0.4R <r <0.7R, but the outer circumferential surface. The protrusions 13 may be arranged in multiple rows, such as one row near 16a and one row near the inner peripheral surface 16b. By doing so, it is possible to obtain a laminate that is stronger and less warped.

  Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the position r of the protrusion 13 is set to two types, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, the position of the first protrusion 13a is set to r1 = 0.6R, and the second protrusion 13b. It is also possible to set the position of r2 to r2 = 0.5R so as to be caulked.

  In the present embodiment, the first frictional force F1 and the second frictional force F2 acting near the center of the caulking portion (projecting portion 13) of the plate material 16 rather than the position where the first frictional force F1 acts. Although the laminated body was manufactured by caulking the thin plate material 16 by acting on the plate material 16, the first frictional force acting in the central direction from the outer peripheral surface 16 a of the plate material 16 and the center of the caulking portion of the plate material 16 were used. The thin plate may be caulked by applying a second frictional force acting on the outer peripheral surface 16a.

  Further, the first friction force may be applied in the plate material radius (diameter) direction and the second friction force may be applied in the plate material circumferential direction, and the thin plate may be caulked in this state. In addition, the direction of the first friction force and the direction of the second friction force are set so that the angle between the direction of the first friction force and the direction of the second friction force is an arbitrary angle, and the thin plate is caulked. May be performed.

  The present invention is applied to a laminated structure (especially a laminated body of metal thin plates) that requires a space inside, and the installation position of the caulking projection can be set on the inner side of the plate material. Thus, it is effective for manufacturing a motor having excellent power efficiency.
