Abstract

An assembling device (10) includes a first rotating portion (11), a second rotating portion (12), and eighteen support arms (13) for supporting coil segments (4), and a motor (29). The first rotating portion (11) includes a first rotating plate (11a) having first holding portions (1d) on an outer peripheral surface thereof. The second rotating portion (12) includes a second rotating plate (12a) having second holding portions (12c) on an outer peripheral surface thereof. The motor (29) rotates the first rotating portion (11) in a counterclockwise direction D1, and the second rotating portion in a clockwise direction D2. Thus, the base parts (21) of the first to eighteenth support arms (13) are transferred from the first holding portions (11d) to the second holding portions (12c) so that the coil segments (4) are assembled to overlap with one another.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An assembling device for assembling a plurality of object members, the object members each including two legs and a connecting portion connecting the two legs, the assembling device comprising:
a plurality of support arms, the support arms each including a support portion for supporting a leg of the object member and a base part spaced apart from the support portion; a first rotating member that has an outer peripheral portion formed in a first arc, the first rotating member being arranged to be rotatable in a first circumferential direction around a center of curvature of the first arc; a second rotating member that has an outer peripheral portion adjacent to the first arc, the outer peripheral portion being formed in a second arc shape having a center of curvature that is located on an opposite side of the outer peripheral portion of the first rotating member from a center of curvature of the first arc, the second rotating member being arranged to be rotatable in a second circumferential direction opposite to the first circumferential direction around the center of curvature of the second arc; and a rotation mechanism that causes the first rotating member to rotate in the first circumferential direction, and causes the second rotating member to rotate in the second circumferential direction, wherein the first rotating member has a plurality of first holding portions formed at a predetermined distance along the outer peripheral surface of the first rotating member, the plurality of first holding portions each holding the base part in a state in which the support portion is located outside of the base part in a radial direction of the first arc, the first rotating member causing each of the plurality of support arms to rotate in the first circumferential direction by rotation, the second rotating member has a plurality of second holding portions formed in a groove shape at the predetermined distance on an outer peripheral surface of the second rotating member, the plurality of second holding portions each holding the base part in a state in which the support portion is located inside of the base part in the radial direction of the second arc, the second rotating member causing each of the plurality of support arms to rotate in the second circumferential direction by rotation, and the rotation mechanism causes the second rotating member to rotate in the second circumferential direction by a length of the predetermined distance when causing the first rotating member to rotate in the first circumferential direction by the length of the predetermined distance.

2 . The assembling device according to claim 1 , wherein
a radius of curvature of the first rotating member is different from a radius of curvature of the second rotating member.

3 . The assembling device according to claim 1 , wherein
the first holding portions are formed from grooves formed on the outer peripheral surface of the first rotating member.

4 . The assembling device according to claim 1 , wherein
the second holding portion is formed from an arc-shaped groove, and the base part is formed from a roller to be fitted to the second holding portion.

5 . The assembling device according to claim 1 , wherein
the rotation mechanism comprises: a first pulley that is provided at a rotation center of the first rotating member, a second pulley that is provided at a rotation center of the second rotating member; a rotatable drive pulley; a motor that rotates the drive pulley; and a belt that is wound around the first pulley, the second pulley, and the drive pulley so that the first pulley rotates in the first circumferential direction and the second pulley rotates in the second circumferential direction.
