Abstract

In a method for correcting a coil wound in two layers, the coil is corrected as follows: a conductor is wound from an outside layer toward an inside layer to form a first row; the conductor is wound from the inside layer toward the outside layer to form a second row; the conductor is wound from the outside layer toward the inside layer to form a third row; a crossover portion is formed by connecting adjacent rows of the conductor; and a load is applied to the crossover portion from a coil correcting die through a crossover-portion correcting die so as to push first and second ends of the crossover portion along adjacent rows and move an intermediate portion of the crossover portion to an adjacent row.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for correcting a coil made of a conductor wound in two layers that are an inside layer and an outside layer, comprising the steps of:
providing a coil that includes a first row formed of the conductor wound from the outside layer toward the inside layer, a second row formed of the conductor wound from the inside layer toward the outside layer, a third row of the conductor wound from the outside layer toward the inside layer, and crossover portions of the conductor connecting the adjacent rows;
providing a coil correcting die configured to apply a load to the coil in an arrangement direction of the first row, the second row, and the third row, to correct the coil;
clamping the crossover portions by crossover-portion correcting dies placed on both sides of each crossover portion in the arrangement direction; and
applying the load to the crossover portions by the coil correcting die through the crossover-portion correcting dies to make a first end portion and a second end portion of each crossover portion extend along the adjacent rows, and make an intermediate portion between the first end portion and the second end portion extend to shift to the adjacent rows.

2. The method for correcting a coil according to claim 1 , wherein the crossover-portion correcting dies are disposed in positions on both sides of each crossover portion in the arrangement direction in sync with movement of the coil correcting die in applying the load.

3. The method for correcting a coil according to claim 2 , wherein
each of the crossover-portion correcting dies includes a thick wall portion and a thin wall portion,
the thin wall portion has a thickness equal to a thickness of a part of each crossover portion to be applied with the load when the load is applied, and
the thick wall portion has a thickness double the thickness of the thin wall portion.

4. The method for correcting a coil according to claim 2 , wherein
the crossover-portion correcting dies are mounted on a movable part that is movable forward and backward with respect to the crossover portions, and
when the movable part is moved forward with respect to the crossover portions, the crossover-portion correcting dies are disposed on both sides of each crossover portion in the arrangement direction.

5. The method for correcting a coil according to claim 2 , wherein
the crossover portions include an outside crossover portion formed of the conductor connecting the second row and the third row, and
the crossover-portion correcting dies clamp the first end portion and the second end portion of the outside crossover portion.

6. The method for correcting a coil according to claim 2 , wherein
the crossover portions include an inside crossover portion of the conductor connecting the first row and the second row, and
the crossover-portion correcting dies clamp an intermediate portion between the first end portion and the second end portion of the inside crossover portion.

7. The method for correcting a coil according to claim 2 , wherein
the crossover portions include an inside crossover portion of the conductor connecting the first row and the second row and an outside crossover portion of the conductor connecting the second row and the third row, and
the crossover-portion correcting dies clamp an intermediate portion between the first end portion and the second end portion of the inside crossover portion and clamp the first end portion and the second end portion of the outside crossover portion.

8. The method for correcting a coil according to claim 1 , wherein
each of the crossover-portion correcting dies includes a thick wall portion and a thin wall portion,
the thin wall portion has a thickness equal to a thickness of a part of each crossover portion to be applied with the load when the load is applied, and
the thick wall portion has a thickness double the thickness of the thin wall portion.

9. The method for correcting a coil according to claim 8 , wherein
the crossover-portion correcting dies are mounted on a movable part that is movable forward and backward with respect to the crossover portions, and
when the movable part is moved forward with respect to the crossover portions, the crossover-portion correcting dies are disposed on both sides of each crossover portion in the arrangement direction.

10. The method for correcting a coil according to claim 8 , wherein
the crossover portions include an outside crossover portion formed of the conductor connecting the second row and the third row, and
the crossover-portion correcting dies clamp the first end portion and the second end portion of the outside crossover portion.

11. The method for correcting a coil according to claim 8 , wherein
the crossover portions include an inside crossover portion of the conductor connecting the first row and the second row, and
the crossover-portion correcting dies clamp an intermediate portion between the first end portion and the second end portion of the inside crossover portion.

12. The method for correcting a coil according to claim 8 , wherein
the crossover portions include an inside crossover portion of the conductor connecting the first row and the second row and an outside crossover portion of the conductor connecting the second row and the third row, and
the crossover-portion correcting dies clamp an intermediate portion between the first end portion and the second end portion of the inside crossover portion and clamp the first end portion and the second end portion of the outside crossover portion.

13. The method for correcting a coil according to claim 1 , wherein
the crossover-portion correcting dies are mounted on a movable part that is movable forward and backward with respect to the crossover portions, and
when the movable part is moved forward with respect to the crossover portions, the crossover-portion correcting dies are disposed on both sides of each crossover portion in the arrangement direction.

14. The method for correcting a coil according to claim 13 , wherein
the crossover portions include an outside crossover portion formed of the conductor connecting the second row and the third row, and
the crossover-portion correcting dies clamp the first end portion and the second end portion of the outside crossover portion.

15. The method for correcting a coil according to claim 13 , wherein
the crossover portions include an inside crossover portion of the conductor connecting the first row and the second row, and
the crossover-portion correcting dies clamp an intermediate portion between the first end portion and the second end portion of the inside crossover portion.

16. The method for correcting a coil according to claim 13 , wherein
the crossover portions include an inside crossover portion of the conductor connecting the first row and the second row and an outside crossover portion of the conductor connecting the second row and the third row, and
the crossover-portion correcting dies clamp an intermediate portion between the first end portion and the second end portion of the inside crossover portion and clamp the first end portion and the second end portion of the outside crossover portion.
