Abstract

In the case of a laminated rotor core 10 , insertion of permanent magnets 14 and filling of resin 15 into each of magnet insertion holes 13 are performed in order to cancel out a problem of an imbalanced weight estimated from a deviation of lamination thickness in a circumferential direction of a laminated core body 12 , and a manufacturing method includes a step of measuring a deviation of lamination thickness in which an imbalanced weight is estimated by measuring the deviation of lamination thickness in the circumferential direction of the laminated core body 12 , and a step of balance adjustment in which the insertion of the permanent magnets 14 into each of the magnet insertion holes 13 and the filling of resin 15 into each of the magnet insertion holes 13 are performed in a manner that cancels out a problem of this imbalanced weight.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A system for manufacturing a laminated rotor core, wherein the laminated rotor core has: a laminated core body formed by laminating a plurality of iron core pieces; and a plurality of magnet insertion holes having permanent magnets inserted inside and resin-sealed, the magnet insertion holes being formed in a circumferential direction centering on a shaft center of the laminated core body, the system comprising:
a cull plate being placed between an upper die and the laminated core body and covering all the magnet insertion holes, wherein the cull plate has resin injection holes and depressed parts or protruded parts, the depressed parts or the protruded parts being provided at positions different from the resin injection holes and at positions corresponding to all or some of the magnet insertion holes, the depressed parts or the protruded parts being configured to adjust an amount of resin to be injected into the magnet insertion holes in a manner that cancels out an imbalance in weight in the circumferential direction of the laminated core body.

2. A laminated rotor core, comprising:
a laminated core body formed by laminating a plurality of iron core pieces; and
a plurality of magnet insertion holes having permanent magnets inserted inside and resin-sealed, the magnet insertion holes being formed in a circumferential direction centering on a shaft center of the laminated core body, the laminated rotor core, further comprising: and
arranging the permanent magnets on the inner side in the radial direction inside the magnet insertion holes in an area of a heavy weight to cancel out an imbalanced weight in the circumferential direction of the laminated core body that is estimated from a deviation of lamination thickness in the circumferential direction of the laminated core body.

3. The laminated rotor core according to claim 2 , wherein positioning members are attached to the side surfaces on the inner side in the radial direction of the permanent magnets to be positioned on the outer side in the radial direction of the magnet insertion holes.

4. A method for manufacturing a laminated rotor core, comprising:
composing a laminated core body by laminating a plurality of iron core pieces;
inserting permanent magnets in a plurality of magnet insertion holes formed in a circumferential direction centering on a shaft center of the laminated core body and injecting resin into the magnet insertion holes; and
curing the resin having been filled into the magnet insertion holes, the method for manufacturing a laminated rotor core, further including:
a step of measuring a deviation of lamination thickness in which a deviation of lamination thickness in the circumferential direction of the laminated core body is measured and an imbalanced weight in the circumferential direction of the laminated core body is estimated from the measured value; and
a step of balance adjustment in which an amount of the resin to be filled into each of the magnet insertion holes is adjusted by placing between an upper die and the laminated core body a cull plate which covers all the magnet insertion holes, and has resin injection holes and depressed parts or protruded parts, the depressed parts or the protruded parts being provided at positions different from the resin injection holes and at positions corresponding to all or some of the magnet insertion holes in a manner that cancels out the imbalanced weight estimated.

5. The method for manufacturing a laminated rotor core according to claim 4 , wherein an amount of resin to be filled into each of the magnet insertion holes is adjusted.

6. The method for manufacturing a laminated rotor core according to claim 4 , wherein the measurement of the deviation of lamination thickness in the step of measuring a deviation of lamination thickness is performed after placing the laminated core body on a conveyor jig, and the permanent magnets are inserted in each of the magnet insertion holes and resin is injected and cured while the laminated core body is on the conveyor jig.

7. A method for manufacturing a laminated rotor core, comprising:
composing a laminated core body by laminating a plurality of iron core pieces;
inserting permanent magnets in a plurality of magnet insertion holes formed in a circumferential direction centering on a shaft center of the laminated core body and injecting resin into the magnet insertion holes; and
curing the resin having been filled into the magnet insertion holes, the method for manufacturing a laminated rotor core, further including:
a step of measuring a deviation of lamination thickness in which a deviation of lamination thickness in the circumferential direction of the laminated core body is measured and an imbalanced weight in the circumferential direction of the laminated core body is estimated from the measured value; and
a step of balance adjustment including arranging the permanent magnets inside the magnet insertion holes based on the estimated imbalanced weight, the permanent magnets being arranged on the outer side in the radial direction inside the magnet insertion holes in an area of a light weight in a manner that cancels the estimated imbalanced weight, and/or the permanent magnets being arranged on the inner side in the radial direction inside the magnet insertion holes in an area of a heavy weight in a manner that cancels out the estimated imbalanced weight.
