Abstract

A manufacturing method of a core of a rotating electrical machine includes: a preparation step of preparing a press device; a fixing step of fixing a steel sheet to a shaft member held by the press device by passing the shaft member through a hole provided in the steel sheet and extending in a stacking direction; and a processing step of performing press-working on the steel sheet by the press device in a state where the steel sheet is fixed to the shaft member.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A manufacturing method of a core of a rotating electrical machine, the core including a stack of steel sheets and being included in the rotating electrical machine including a shaft member, the shaft member being fixed to the stack of the steel sheets and extending in a stacking direction of the steel sheets,
the manufacturing method comprising:
a preparation step of preparing a press device;
a fixing step of fixing a steel sheet to the shaft member held by the press device, by passing the shaft member through a hole previously punched in the steel sheet and extending in the stacking direction; and
after the fixing step, a processing step of performing press-working on the steel sheet to form an inner periphery or an outer periphery of the steel sheet by the press device in a state where the steel sheet is fixed to the shaft member.

2. The manufacturing method of the core of the rotating electrical machine according to claim 1 , further comprising
a cutting step of cutting off the steel sheet fixed to the shaft member from a band-shaped steel sheet, wherein:
the preparation step is a step of preparing the press device that sequentially performs press-working on, while conveying, the band-shaped steel sheet by a plurality of press machines of the press device arrayed in a longitudinal direction of the band-shaped steel sheet;
the fixing step is a step of fixing the shaft member and the steel sheet to each other by press-fitting the shaft member held by a final press machine of the plurality of press machines for a final process in the press device into the hole previously punched in the steel sheet and extending in the stacking direction; and
the cutting step is performed by press-working in the final process.

3. The manufacturing method of the core of the rotating electrical machine according to claim 1 , wherein:
the fixing step includes a step of fixing a first steel sheet to the shaft member by passing the shaft member through a hole previously punched in the first steel sheet and extending in the stacking direction, and a step of stacking a second steel sheet on the first steel sheet and fixing the second steel sheet to the shaft member to which the first steel sheet is fixed, by passing the shaft member through a hole previously punched in the second steel sheet and extending in the stacking direction, the first steel sheet and the second steel sheet being included among the steel sheets; and
the processing step includes a step of performing press-working on the first steel sheet by the press device in a state where the first steel sheet is fixed to the shaft member, and a step of performing press-working on the second steel sheet by the press device in a state where the second steel sheet is fixed to the shaft member.

4. The manufacturing method of the core of the rotating electrical machine according to claim 3 , wherein
the first steel sheet and the second steel sheet are stacked without being fixed to each other.

5. The manufacturing method of the core of the rotating electrical machine according to claim 1 , wherein
press-working on the steel sheet is press-working for a rotor core.

6. The manufacturing method of the core of the rotating electrical machine according to claim 5 , wherein
the shaft member is a rotor shaft.

7. The manufacturing method of the core of the rotating electrical machine according to claim 1 , wherein
press-working on the steel sheet is press-working for a stator core.

8. The manufacturing method of the core of the rotating electrical machine according to claim 7 , wherein
the shaft member is a sleeve.
