Description

  The present invention relates to a manufacturing method and a manufacturing apparatus for a laminated core used for a stator and a rotor of a rotating electrical machine, and more particularly to a technique for forming a uniform and wide smooth surface on an inner peripheral end of a stator.

  A laminated iron core for a rotating electrical machine is often manufactured from a hoop material (strip-shaped thin steel sheet) of an electromagnetic steel sheet by a progressive die apparatus because cutting of slots and small teeth is complicated and difficult. For example, a laminated iron core for stators is made by continuously punching holes such as pilot holes, slots, inner peripheral teeth, and outer shapes on a hoop material that is intermittently transferred in a progressive die, thereby continuously forming an annular core sheet. After being obtained, it is manufactured by laminating and integrating a certain number of these iron core thin plates in a die.

  Although there are some processing defects (burrs, sagging, breakage, etc.) on the punched surface of the iron core thin plate, in the laminated core for a stepping motor, the stator magnetic pole and the rotor magnetic pole have a very small gap (air gap). Therefore, a processing defect on the tip surface (inner peripheral surface or outer peripheral surface) of the magnetic pole becomes a factor that deteriorates the product performance. Therefore, a method is known in which the iron sheet is subjected to post-processing (shaving) in the final process of the progressive die, and the processing defect at the tip of the magnetic pole is removed to obtain a smooth end face (see Patent Documents 1 and 2). . Note that broaching or honing is also employed as post-processing of the punched surface.

  However, since the air gap between the stator and the rotor is very small as described above in the laminated iron core for the stepping motor, the post-processing is performed when the iron core thin plate for the stator and the iron core thin plate for the rotor are punched from the same part of the hoop material. In many cases, it was not possible to secure a processing allowance (remaining wall) for the purpose. In this case, the stator core thin plate and the rotor core thin plate must be formed separately (that is, from different hoop materials), the yield of the hoop material is reduced and the material cost is increased. There was a problem that the cost of equipment increased because two molds were required.

  Also, in the case where the stator core thin plate and the rotor core thin plate are punched from the same portion of the hoop material and small teeth are provided on the rotor magnetic pole and the stator magnetic pole, respectively, when the rotor is punched Concave portions and convex portions corresponding to the outer peripheral small teeth are formed in the hoop material. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 12A and 12B, when the stator inner periphery Cis is punched into a circle by the stator inner periphery punching punch 8 in the next step, the portion corresponding to the convex portion 32 of the stator inner periphery Cis. Thus, the scrap 45 has a wider width (dimension in the radial direction), and a large tensile force (indicated by an arrow in the drawing) acts to generate a discontinuous fracture surface 46 having a large area at the site. Then, as shown in FIG. 12C, the angular interval of the small teeth on the rotor core thin plate (not shown) side and the angular interval of the small teeth 72 of the stator core thin plate 71 are different. When the small teeth 72 on the stator core thin plate 71 side are formed in the process, the area of the smooth surface 47 on the inner peripheral side end surface of the small teeth 72 becomes non-uniform and small, and the performance of the stepping motor deteriorates (rotation characteristics, etc. There was a risk of worsening.

  Further, when the inner circumference (stator inner circumference Cis) of the stator core thin plate 71 and the small teeth 72 are formed simultaneously (when punched with one punch / die assembly), the small teeth as shown in FIG. There is a problem that chipping 81 occurs at the corners of 72 or sagging 82 due to stress concentration occurs as shown in FIG. 13B, thereby further reducing the area of the smooth surface 47 on the inner peripheral side end face.

  In addition, in the case where the stator core thin plate and the rotor core thin plate are punched concentrically from the hoop material, the above-mentioned scrap is generated in the process of punching the inner peripheral surface of the stator. A very narrow part is generated, so the scrap drawn into the die rises (that is, scrap rises), enters the inside of the punch or die, causes malfunction, and scratches on the hoop material passing through the upper surface. There was sometimes. In the conventional apparatus, as shown in FIG. 14, since the small teeth 72 of the stator core thin plate 71 are punched out by the small tooth punching punch 9 having a grooved portion 9a protruding on the outer periphery, the grooved portion of the workpiece W is formed. The part adjacent to 9a protrudes inward, and a burr 83 may be formed at the end of the inner peripheral surface of the small tooth 72 as shown in FIG. In the laminated iron core for a stepping motor, since the air gap between the stator and the rotor is very small as described above, it is necessary to perform post-processing (shaving) on the iron core thin plate in the final process to remove the above-described burrs. It was.

  This invention is made | formed in view of the said condition, and aims at providing the manufacturing method and manufacturing apparatus of a laminated iron core which form a uniform and wide smooth surface in a data inner peripheral end.

  The laminated core manufacturing method according to the first invention uses a progressive die to concentrically form a rotor core thin plate having small teeth on the outer periphery and a stator core thin plate having small teeth on the inner periphery from a strip-shaped thin steel plate.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the method for manufacturing a laminated core according to the first aspect of the invention, the semi-punched punch is chamfered at the tip.

  The third invention is characterized in that, in the laminated core manufacturing method according to the first or second invention, the scrap generated by the inner peripheral punching step is dropped in a die by a scrap ejector.

  According to the first and fifth inventions, since the inner circumference of the stator core thin plate is punched concentrically and annularly with the half punch after the true circular half punch is performed by the half punch, the rotor core thin plate The tensile force due to the convex portions corresponding to the outer peripheral small teeth does not act, and it is difficult for large breakage to occur on the inner periphery of the stator core thin plate, so that a wide smooth surface can be formed.

Stamping process (5), status lot punching process (6) of status lot Ss by status lot punch 6, scrap scraping process (7) by scrap half punching punch 7 having substantially the same outer diameter as the rotor core thin plate 61 Is done.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 2, the stator inner periphery Cis punching step (8) by the stator inner periphery punching punch 8, and the small teeth 72 punching step on the stator core thin plate 71 side by the small tooth punching punch 9 are performed. (9), the stator measuring hole Ks1 punching step (10) by the stator measuring hole punch 10, the stator caulking projection Ks2 half-punching step (11) by the stator caulking punch 11, and the stator outer shape Os by the stator outer punch 12 (ie, A stamping step (12) of the stator core thin plate 71) is sequentially performed. The rotor metering hole Kr1 and the stator metering hole Ks1 are punched only once every predetermined number of times (for example, 50 times), whereby the number of laminated core sheets 61 for the rotor and the core sheet 71 for the stator (that is, The thickness of the laminated iron core LCr for rotor and the laminated iron core LCs for stator) is determined.

<Scrap half extraction process>
As shown in FIG. 3, the mold in the seventh step includes a scrap half punch 7 held on the upper holder 21 via the sheet plate 22 and the punch plate 23, and a die 25 held on the lower holder 24. And have. The scrap half punching punch 7 has a cylindrical shape and is chamfered at the lower end. In FIG. 3, a member denoted by reference numeral 26 is a stripper body, and a stripper plate 27 that presses the hoop material W against the die 25 is fixed to the lower surface thereof. In addition, the member shown with the code | symbol 28 is a knock pin, and the member shown with the code | symbol 29 is a volt | bolt.

  In the seventh step, when the scrap half-punch punch 7 is lowered together with the upper mold holder 21, as shown in FIG. 31 is applied. The scrap half-punch 31 is provided on the outer side of the convex portion 32 corresponding to the small teeth 62 on the rotor core thin plate 61 side. And since the chamfering 7a is given to the lower end of the scrap half punching punch 7, as shown in FIG. .

<Stator inner circumference punching process>
As shown in FIG. 6, the mold in the eighth step includes a cylindrical stator inner punching punch 8 held on the upper mold holder 21 via a sheet plate 22 and a punch plate 23, and a stator inner peripheral punching. A scrap ejector 41 installed below the punch 8 and a die 42 held by the lower mold holder 24 are provided.

  The scrap ejector 41 includes an ejector plate 41 a having a smaller diameter than the stator inner peripheral punch 8 and a stem 41 b protruding upward from the center of the ejector plate 41 a, and is formed on the stator inner peripheral punch 8. A stem 41b is slidably fitted in the guide hole 8a. A guide bolt 43 is screwed into the shaft center of the stem 41b, and the head of the guide bolt 43 is locked to an inward flange 8b formed in the stator inner peripheral punching punch 8. A compression coil spring 44 is accommodated in the guide hole 8 a of the stator inner periphery punching punch 8, and the scrap ejector 41 is always urged downward by the spring force of the compression coil spring 44.

  When the punch plate 23 is lowered, as shown in FIG. 7A, the lower end of the punch plate 23 is locked to the scrap half-punch 31 and the convex portion 32, so that the scrap ejector 41 rises while compressing and compressing the compression coil spring 44. After contacting the lower surface of the stator inner periphery punching punch 8, the stator inner periphery punching punch 8 bites into the hoop material W, and punching of the stator inner periphery Cis is started. When the punch plate 23 is further lowered, as shown in FIG. 7 (b), the punching of the stator inner circumference Cis is completed, and the scrap 45 is separated from the hoop material W and protrudes by the spring force of the compression coil spring 44. 41 causes the scrap 45 to fall downward.

  In the present embodiment, since the semicircular scrap half-punch 31 is performed in the scrap half-pulling step, the stator inner periphery Cis is punched concentrically and annularly with the scrap half-pull 31. Therefore, FIGS. ), There is no wide portion in the scrap 45, and a large fracture surface 46 due to the action of the tensile force, which is a problem in the conventional apparatus, does not occur in the stator inner periphery Cis. That is, only a very small fracture surface 46 that does not deteriorate the product performance is generated at the lower portion of the stator inner periphery Cis, and the area of the smooth surface 47 is increased. As a result, as shown in FIG. 8C, when the small teeth 72 on the stator core thin plate 71 side are formed in the stator small tooth punching step described later, the smooth surface 47 on the inner peripheral side end surface of the small teeth 72 is formed. The area becomes uniform and large, and the performance of the stepping motor is significantly improved (rotational characteristics and the like are improved). In this embodiment, since the scrap 45 is forcibly dropped by the scrap ejector 41, the scrap rise is effectively suppressed even though the width of the scrap 45 is very small.

<Stator small tooth punching process>
As shown in FIG. 9, the mold in the ninth step is a small tooth punching punch 9 held on the upper mold holder 21 via a sheet plate 22 and a punch plate 23, and a lower surface of the small tooth punching punch 9. A fixed guide plate 51 and a die 52 held by the lower mold holder 24 are provided.

  The small tooth punch 9 has a cylindrical punch holder 56 having a plurality of holding slots 55 formed along the axial direction on the outer periphery thereof, a groove punch 57 fitted in each holding slot 55, and a punch holder 56. And a locking ring 58 that is externally fitted to the upper portion to prevent the groove punching punch 57 from falling off. The guide plate 51 is composed of a disc-shaped guide portion 51a that is substantially the same diameter as the punch holder 56 and has a taper on the tip side, and a stem 51b that protrudes upward from the center of the guide portion 51a. The stem 51 b is fitted in the holding hole 56 a formed in the punch holder 56. The outer diameters of the punch holder 56 and the guide plate 51 (guide portion 51a) are set equal to or smaller than the diameter of the stator inner circumference Cis.

  When the punch plate 23 is lowered, the guide plate 51 is fitted into the stator inner circumference Cis of the hoop material W as shown in FIG. At this time, since the taper is formed on the distal end side of the guide portion 51a, even if there is a slight deviation between the hoop material W and the guide plate 51, the position of the hoop material W is corrected and smooth insertion is achieved. Done. When the punch plate 23 is further lowered, the punch holder 56 of the small tooth punching punch 9 is fitted into the stator inner circumference Cis of the hoop material W and the groove punching punch 57 is formed on the hoop material W as shown in FIG. The small teeth 72 on the stator core thin plate 71 side are punched out.

In the case of the present embodiment, since the outer diameter of the punch holder 56 is set to be substantially the same as the diameter of the stator inner circumference Cis, when the groove punch 57 bites into the hoop material W, the outer circumference of the punch holder 56 causes burrs. Generation | occurrence | production is suppressed and surplus thickness does not protrude inside, and it is prevented that a burr | flash generate | occur | produces on the inner periphery (stator inner periphery Cis) of the iron core thin plate 71 for stators. As a result, a highly accurate air gap can be obtained without post-processing the stator laminated core LCs, and the performance of the stepping motor or the like can be improved without increasing the number of manufacturing steps or the manufacturing cost. Further, in the present embodiment, the holding slot 55 is formed in the cylindrical punch holder 56, and the groove punch 57 is fitted in the holding slot 55, so that the small tooth punching punch 9 can be easily manufactured. The apparatus cost can be reduced. Further, when the outer diameter of the punch holder 56 to be smaller than the stator inside circumference Cis, (by the excess thickness to bulge to the outer peripheral surface of the punch holder 56) in the tip of the small teeth 72 protrude on the inner peripheral side The finished diameter of the stator inner circumference Cis can be reduced. As a result, the air gap between the rotor laminated core LCr and the stator laminated core LCs is reduced, and the performance of the stepping motor can be improved.

<Partial modification of stator inner peripheral punching process>
Next, a partial modification of the stator inner peripheral punching step will be described.
As shown in FIG. 11A, in this modification, a plurality of protrusion forming portions 8 c are projected on the outer periphery of the stator inner peripheral punching punch 8, and thereby, the floating prevention protrusion 45 a on the outer periphery of the scrap 45. Is formed. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 11 (b), the die 42 is formed with anti-floating grooves 42a, and the anti-floating protrusions 45a of the scrap 45 are fitted into these anti-floating grooves 42a, thereby providing a scrap ejector. As in the embodiment described above, scraping is prevented.

  Although the description of the specific embodiment is finished as described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment and can be widely modified. For example, in the above-described embodiment, the present invention is applied to a progressive mold for manufacturing a laminated core for a stator for a stepping motor and a laminated core for a rotor. However, the present invention is naturally applied to a progressive mold for manufacturing a laminated core for a general motor. It is applicable to. Further, the configuration of the strip layout, the specific structure of the mold, and the like can be changed as appropriate without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
