[0002] Laminated cores are known that are manufactured by bending strip-shaped steel plates extending in one direction into an arc to form spirally extending core pieces, and then stacking the spirally extending core pieces. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a stator core in which a blanked plate having a plurality of teeth protruding from one long side of a strip-shaped back yoke is bent into an arc, multiple arc-shaped blanked plates are combined to form a ring-shaped straight core, and the outer periphery of the straight core is fixed by laser welding.
[0003] Furthermore, a laminated core is known in which a plurality of disk-shaped core pieces adjacent in the lamination direction are bonded together with an adhesive. For example, Patent Document 2 discloses a laminated core including a plurality of electromagnetic steel sheets, adhesive portions that bond the electromagnetic steel sheets together, and weld portions that weld the electromagnetic steel sheets together, and in which the electromagnetic steel sheets are joined together only by the adhesive portions and the weld portions.

[0012] Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The same or corresponding parts in the drawings are designated by the same reference numerals, and their description will not be repeated. Furthermore, the dimensions of the components in each drawing do not faithfully represent the actual dimensions of the components and the dimensional ratios of the components.
[0013] In the following description, the direction parallel to the axis P of the central axis of the laminated core will be referred to as the axial direction, the direction perpendicular to the axis P will be referred to as the radial direction, and the direction along the arc centered on the axis P will be referred to as the circumferential direction.
[0014] In the following description, expressions such as "fix," "connect," and "attach" include not only cases where members are directly fixed to each other, but also cases where members are fixed via other members. In other words, in the following description, expressions such as "fix" include both direct and indirect fixation of members to each other.
[0015] (Embodiment 1) BACKGROUND ART A motor is known that has a stator having a laminated core, and a rotor that is positioned radially inward D1 or radially outward D2 relative to the stator and rotates about an axis P of the laminated core.
[0016] (Laminated core made up of spiral core pieces) A laminated core 1 according to a first exemplary embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 6. As shown in Figure 1, the laminated core 1 has a cylindrical shape extending along an axis P. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the laminated core 1 is formed by stacking core pieces 10, which extend spirally around the axis P, in the thickness direction and bonding the stacked core pieces 10 together in the stacking direction.
[0017] 2, the core pieces 10 that make up the laminated core 1 are formed by winding a plate-shaped core piece forming portion formed by punching an electromagnetic steel sheet into an arc shape in the thickness direction. Hereinafter, the lamination direction is the same as the thickness direction of the core pieces 10 in the laminated core 1.
[0018] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the core pieces 10 constituting the laminated core 1 have a back yoke portion 11, a plurality of teeth portions 12, and a plurality of slits 13.
[0019] The back yoke portion 11 is located radially outward of the core piece 10 and extends spirally around the axis P. The multiple teeth portions 12 extend radially inward from the back yoke portion 11 and are aligned in the circumferential direction C. The multiple teeth portions 12 are located radially inward of the core piece 10. The back yoke portion 11 and the multiple teeth portions 12 are parts of the core piece 10, which is a single member, and each is plate-shaped.
[0020] The multiple slits 13 are cuts that extend radially outward from an end face 111 on the inner circumferential side of the back yoke portion 11 at positions between the base ends of the teeth portions 12 that are adjacent in the circumferential direction C. In other words, the multiple slits 13 are located in the back yoke portion 11.
[0021] The laminated core 1, which is formed by laminating spiral core pieces 10, has a laminated core body portion 20, slit grooves 23, and adhesive fixing portions 30.
[0022] The laminated core body 20 is a laminate in which the back yoke 11 and the plurality of teeth 12 of the core pieces 10 are spirally wound and stacked in the thickness direction. The outer edges of the back yoke 11 and the plurality of teeth 12 that make up the laminated core body 20 overlap when viewed in the stacking direction.
[0023] The slit grooves 23 are formed in the laminated core 1 by overlapping multiple slits 13 in the core pieces 10 in the stacking direction. The multiple slits 13 that make up the slit grooves 23 are located at positions that overlap in the stacking direction. The slit grooves 23 extend from one end to the other end in the stacking direction of the laminated core 1, and multiple slit grooves 23 are lined up in the circumferential direction C. The slit grooves 23 are grooves that open to one side X1 and the other side X2 in the stacking direction and radially inward D1.
[0024] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the slit groove 23 has a radially outer groove portion 231 and a radially inner groove portion 232.
[0025] The radially outer groove portion 231 is located at the radially outer end of the slit groove 23. The radially inner groove portion 232 is located radially inward of the radially outer groove portion 231 and has a slit shape when viewed in the stacking direction. The radially outer groove portion 231 and the radially inner groove portion 232 are radially connected at a predetermined angle at a connection point E23. The radially outer groove portion 231 and the radially inner groove portion 232 are each part of a single slit groove 23. The radially outer groove portion 231 is a part located radially outward D2 from the connection point E23, and the radially inner groove portion 232 is a part located radially inward D1 from the connection point E23.
[0026] 4, the width of the radially outer groove portion 231 is greater than the width of the radially inner groove portion 232. More specifically, an average width L231 obtained by averaging the widths of the radially outer groove portion 231 in the circumferential direction C in the radial direction is greater than an average width L232 obtained by averaging the widths of the radially inner groove portion 232 in the circumferential direction C in the radial direction.
[0027] (Adhesive fixing part) 5, the adhesive fixing portion 30 extends in the stacking direction along the inner wall surface of the slit groove 23. The adhesive fixing portion 30 bonds together in the stacking direction regions (lamination regions R1, R2) of the core pieces 10 that overlap in the stacking direction.
[0028] The adhesive fixing portion 30 is in a state where the adhesive member M injected into the radially outer groove portion 231 of the slit groove 23 has hardened. The adhesive member M is a fluid adhesive. Since a known adhesive can be used for the adhesive member M, detailed description will be omitted, but for example, an anaerobic adhesive or the like can be used.
[0029] The adhesive fixing portion 30 is formed when the adhesive material M injected into the slit groove 23 travels along the inner wall of the slit groove 23, penetrates between the laminated regions R1, R2 of the iron core piece 10, and hardens. Details of the laminated regions R1, R2 will be described later.
[0030] The adhesive fixing portion 30 has an inner slit groove adhesive portion 31 and a region adhesive portion 32 .
[0031] The adhesive portions 31 within the slit grooves extend along the inner wall surfaces of the slit grooves 23 from one end to the other end in the stacking direction of the slit grooves 23. The adhesive portions 31 within the slit grooves are formed when the adhesive material M injected into one end of the slit grooves 23 in the stacking direction reaches the other end and then hardens. The adhesive portions 31 within the slit grooves 23 fix the laminated core pieces 10 in the stacking direction. The adhesive portions 31 within the slit grooves 23 are respectively located within the multiple slit grooves 23 that are aligned in the circumferential direction C in the laminated core 1.
[0032] As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the slit groove adhesive portion 31 has a radially outer groove adhesive portion 311 and a radially inner groove adhesive portion 312.
[0033] The radially outer groove adhesive portion 311 extends along the inner wall surface of the radially outer groove portion 231, from one end to the other end in the stacking direction of the radially outer groove portion 231. The radially inner groove adhesive portion 312 extends along the inner wall surface of the radially inner groove portion 232, from one end to the other end in the stacking direction of the radially inner groove portion 232. The radially outer groove adhesive portion 311 and the radially inner groove adhesive portion 312 are each part of a single slit groove adhesive portion 31.
[0034] 3 and 5, the area adhesive portions 32 are formed by the adhesive material M injected into the slit grooves 23 entering between the laminated regions R1, R2 of the core piece 10 from the slit grooves 23 and hardening. Therefore, the area adhesive portions 32 are connected to the intra-slit groove adhesive portions 31, and are located between the laminated regions R1, R2, bonding the laminated regions R1, R2 to each other in the lamination direction. Furthermore, the intra-slit groove adhesive portions 31 connect the area adhesive portions 32 in the lamination direction.
[0035] 3 and 4, the regional adhesive portions 32 are connected to the intra-slit groove adhesive portions 31 located in each of the multiple slit grooves 23 in the laminated core 1, and extend from the intra-slit groove adhesive portions 31 in the circumferential direction C when viewed in the lamination direction. The regional adhesive portions 32 are formed by the adhesive material M extending from the intra-slit groove adhesive portions 31 aligned in the circumferential direction C being connected in the circumferential direction C and hardening. In other words, the regional adhesive portions 32 are continuous in a spiral shape in the laminated core 1.
[0036] The lamination regions R1 and R2 will now be described. As shown in FIG. 5, the core piece 10 in the laminated core 1 has a first lamination region R1 and a second lamination region R2. The first lamination region R1 is a region of the first surface F1, which is the surface of the core piece 10 on one side X1 of the lamination direction, where the first surface F1 faces the second surface F2, which is the surface of the core piece 10 on the other side X2 of the lamination direction. The second lamination region R2 is a region of the second surface F2 of the core piece 10 where the second surface F2 faces the first surface S1 in the lamination direction. Therefore, one end surface T1 of the first surface F1 that does not face the second surface F2 is not included in the first lamination region R1. Similarly, the other end surface T2 of the second surface F2 that does not face the first surface F1 is not included in the second lamination region R2.
[0037] In the laminated core 1 in which the core pieces 10 are stacked in a spiral shape, the first stacked region R1 and the second stacked region R2 overlap in the stacking direction. That is, in the laminated core 1, the stacked regions R1 and R2 overlap in the stacking direction.
[0038] The area bonding portion 32 is located between the laminated regions R1, R2 of the core piece 10 that overlap in the laminated direction, and bonds the laminated regions R1, R2 to each other in the laminated direction. That is, the area bonding portion 32 is located between the first laminated region R1 and the second laminated region R2 of the core piece 10, and bonds the first laminated region R1 to the second laminated region R2 in the laminated direction. The area bonding portion 32 is not located on one end face T1 of the first surface F1 or the other end face T2 of the second surface F2.
[0039] As shown in Figures 3 and 6, each of the lamination regions R1 and R2 includes a back yoke lamination region RB and a teeth lamination region RT. The back yoke lamination region RB is the region of the lamination regions R1 and R2 where the back yoke portions 11 of the laminated core 1 overlap in the lamination direction. The teeth lamination region RT is the region of the lamination regions R1 and R2 where the multiple teeth portions 12 of the laminated core 1 overlap in the lamination direction. The back yoke lamination region RB and the teeth lamination region RT are each portions of a single lamination region R1 and R2.
[0040] The region adhesive portion 32 includes a back yoke lamination region adhesive portion 321 and a teeth lamination region adhesive portion 322 .
[0041] As shown in Figures 3, 4 and 5, the back yoke stacking region adhesive portion 321 is connected to the radially outer groove adhesive portion 311 and is located between the back yoke stacking regions RB to adhesively bond the back yoke stacking regions RB in the stacking direction.
[0042] 3, 4, and 6, teeth stacking region adhesive portion 322 is connected to back yoke stacking region adhesive portion 321 and is located between teeth stacking regions RT to adhesively bond the teeth stacking regions RT in the stacking direction. Back yoke stacking region adhesive portion 321 and teeth stacking region adhesive portion 322 are parts of a single region adhesive portion 32.
[0043] (Laminated core manufacturing method) An exemplary method for manufacturing the laminated core 1 having the above-described configuration will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.
[0044] Fig. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of a method for manufacturing the laminated core 1. As shown in Fig. 7, the method for manufacturing the laminated core 1 includes a preparation step S1, a steel plate punching step S2, a bending step S3, a lamination step S4, an adhesive injection step S5, and an adhesive hardening step S6.
[0045] In the preparation step S1, a known magnetic steel sheet, which is a magnetic material, is prepared. Note that the magnetic steel sheet will be referred to as a steel sheet 70 hereinafter.
[0046] In the steel plate punching step S2, the steel plate 70 is punched to form a plate-shaped core piece forming portion 80. Fig. 8 is an example of a punching diagram of the core piece forming portion 80. In the steel plate punching step S2, the core piece forming portion 80 is obtained by removing the removed portion 75 (part of the steel plate 70) indicated by diagonal lines in Fig. 8 by punching. The steel plate punching step S2 is performed by, for example, pressing.
[0047] The core piece forming portion 80 formed in the steel plate punching step S2 has a back yoke forming portion 81, a plurality of teeth forming portions 82, and a plurality of slit forming portions 83.
[0048] Back yoke forming portion 81 is strip-shaped and extends in one direction. Multiple tooth forming portions 82 protrude in one width direction W1 from an end portion 811 on one width direction side of back yoke forming portion 81 and are lined up in one direction.
[0049] The multiple slit forming portions 83 are cuts that extend from an end portion 811 on one width direction side of the back yoke forming portion 81 toward the other width direction W2 at positions between the base ends of adjacent tooth forming portions 82 in one direction in the back yoke forming portion 81. The multiple slit forming portions 83 are located in the back yoke forming portion 81.
[0050] As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, in the bending step S3, the core piece forming portion 80 is bent into an arc shape when viewed in the thickness direction, and the gaps between the multiple slit forming portions 83 are eliminated to form the core piece 10.
[0051] Specifically, in the bending process S3, a back yoke portion 11 is formed in which the back yoke forming portion 81 is bent into an arc shape when viewed in the thickness direction, and a plurality of tooth portions 12 are formed in which a plurality of tooth forming portions 82 arranged in one direction are arranged in the circumferential direction C when viewed in the thickness direction.
[0052] Furthermore, the plurality of slits 13 are formed by closing the gaps between the plurality of slit forming portions 83. The plurality of slits 13 each have a radially outer slit portion 131 and a radially inner slit portion 132.
[0053] The radially outer slit portion 131 is located at the radially outer end of the slit 13. The radially inner slit portion 132 is located radially inward of the radially outer slit portion 131 and has a slit shape when viewed in the thickness direction. The radially outer slit portion 131 and the radially inner slit portion 132 are radially connected at a predetermined angle at a connection point E13. The radially outer slit portion 131 and the radially inner slit portion 132 are each part of a single slit 13. The radially outer slit portion 131 is a part located radially outward D2 from the connection point E13, and the radially inner slit portion 132 is a part located radially inward D1 from the connection point E13.
[0054] In the bending process S3, by closing the gaps of the slit forming portions 83, the width L131 of the radially outer slit portions 131 located at the ends of the plurality of slits 13 on the radially outer side D2 is made larger than the width L132 of the radially inner slit portions 132 located radially inward D1 from the radially outer slit portions 131. More specifically, in the bending process S3, the average width L131 obtained by averaging the widths in the circumferential direction C of the radially outer slit portions 131 in the radial direction is made larger than the average width L132 obtained by averaging the widths in the circumferential direction C of the radially inner slit portions 132 in the radial direction.
[0055] In the lamination step S4, the core pieces 10 formed in the bending step S3 are stacked in the thickness direction while being wound in a spiral shape. Specifically, the back yoke portion 11 and the plurality of teeth portions 12 are stacked in the thickness direction with the outer edges of the back yoke portion 11 and the plurality of teeth portions 12 and the plurality of slits 13 overlapping when viewed in the lamination direction.
[0056] In the lamination process S4, a plurality of slits 13 aligned in the circumferential direction C are stacked in the lamination direction to form a plurality of slit grooves 23 aligned in the circumferential direction C. As a result, the radially outer slit portions 131 become radially outer groove portions 231 of the slit grooves 23. The radially inner slit portions 132 become radially inner groove portions 232 of the slit grooves 23.
[0057] 11, in the adhesive member injection step S5, with the other end in the stacking direction of the laminate of the core pieces 10 formed in the stacking step S4 facing downward, an adhesive member M is injected into the multiple slit grooves 23 from one side in the stacking direction X1. More specifically, in the adhesive member injection step S5, the adhesive member M is injected into the radially outer groove portions 231 of the multiple slit grooves 23.
[0058] The adhesive material M injected into one end of the radially outer groove portion 231 of the slit groove 23 in the stacking direction flows along the inner wall surface of the radially outer groove portion 231 in the other stacking direction X2 due to the influence of gravity. The adhesive material M injected into the radially outer groove portion 231 flows radially inward D1 within the radially outer groove portion 231 and spreads into the radially inner groove portion. The gap between the stacking regions R1 and R2 opens into the slit groove 23. Therefore, the adhesive material M flowing along the inner wall surface of the slit groove 23 in the other stacking direction X2 enters the gap between the stacking regions R1 and R2 from the inner wall surface of the slit groove 23 and penetrates between the stacking regions R1 and R2. In this way, the adhesive material M spreads from the inner wall surface of the slit groove 23 between the stacking regions R1 and R2. As a result, as shown in FIG. 12 , the adhesive material M can penetrate between the stacking regions R1 and R2 located from one side to the other in the stacking direction.
[0059] In adhesive material injection step S5, adhesive material M is injected into the plurality of slit grooves 23 aligned in the circumferential direction C. The adhesive material M injected into the plurality of slit grooves 23 penetrates between the back yoke stacking regions RB that overlap in the stacking direction of the back yoke section 11, and spreads in the circumferential direction C. The adhesive material M injected into each slit groove 23 connects the back yoke stacking regions RB in the circumferential direction C.
[0060] The adhesive member M that has entered between the back yoke laminated regions RB also spreads in the radial direction. The adhesive member M positioned between the back yoke laminated regions RB spreads between the teeth laminated regions RT where the teeth portions 12 overlap in the lamination direction.
[0061] In the adhesive member curing step S6, the adhesive member M injected in the adhesive member injection step S5 is cured to form the adhesive fixing part 30. The curing of the adhesive member M can be achieved by a known curing method and will not be described in detail, but can be achieved, for example, by promoting the reaction of the adhesive component over time or by heating, etc.
[0062] More specifically, in adhesive member hardening step S6, the adhesive member M attached to the inner wall surface of the slit groove 23 in adhesive member injection step S5 is hardened to form the slit groove adhesive portion 31. As a result, in adhesive member hardening step S6, the slit groove adhesive portion 31 can be formed, which extends from one end to the other end of the slit groove 23 in the stacking direction.
[0063] When the slit groove adhesive portion 31 is formed, the adhesive member M located in the radially outer groove portion 231 hardens to become the radially outer groove adhesive portion 311. Similarly, the adhesive member M located in the radially inner groove portion 232 hardens to become the radially inner groove adhesive portion 312.
[0064] In the adhesive member curing step S6, the adhesive member M that has entered between the stacked regions R1, R2 from the inner wall surface of the slit groove 23 is cured to form the area adhesive portion 32. The area adhesive portion 31 in the slit groove and the area adhesive portion 32 are connected to each other. The area adhesive portion 32 is connected to the multiple area adhesive portions 31 in the slit groove that are aligned in the circumferential direction C.
[0065] When the region adhesive portion 32 is formed, the adhesive material M located between the back yoke lamination regions RB hardens to become the back yoke lamination region adhesive portion 321. Similarly, the adhesive material M located between the teeth lamination regions RT hardens to become the teeth lamination region adhesive portion 322. The radially outer groove adhesive portion 311 and the back yoke lamination region adhesive portion 321 are connected to each other. The back yoke lamination region adhesive portion 321 and the teeth lamination region adhesive portion 322 are connected to each other. The back yoke lamination region adhesive portion 321 is connected in the circumferential direction C and is spirally continuous in the laminated core 1.
[0066] Through the above steps, the laminated core 1 is manufactured (END).
[0067] The laminated core 1 according to this embodiment is a cylindrical laminated core 1 formed by laminating core pieces 10, each having a plate-shaped back yoke portion 11 extending spirally around the axis P, a plurality of plate-shaped teeth 12 extending radially inward D1 from the back yoke portion 11 and aligned in the circumferential direction C, and a plurality of slits 13 extending radially outward D2 from an inner end face 111 of the back yoke portion 11 at positions between the base ends of the teeth 12 adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction C. The laminated core 1 has an adhesive fixing portion 30 that bonds regions of the core pieces 10 that overlap in the stacking direction (lamination regions R1, R2) together in the stacking direction. The adhesive fixing portion 30 has an adhesive portion 31 inside the slit groove 23 extending from one end to the other end in the stacking direction along the inner wall surface of the slit groove 23 in which multiple slits 13 are overlapped in the stacking direction, and an area adhesive portion 32 connected to the adhesive portion 31 inside the slit groove and positioned between the stacking areas R1 and R2 to adhere the stacking areas R1 and R2 to each other in the stacking direction.
[0068] In the above-described configuration, the adhesive fixing portion 30 is realized by stacking the iron core pieces 10 in a spiral shape, and then the adhesive material M injected from one end of the slit groove 23 in the stacking direction spreads between adjacent stacking regions R1, R2 of the iron core pieces 10 in the stacking direction.
[0069] This makes it possible to obtain a configuration in which the laminated regions R1, R2 are bonded to each other in the stacking direction by the region adhesive portion 32 without supplying adhesive material M between the laminated regions R1, R2 when stacking the iron core pieces 10.
[0070] Therefore, it is possible to provide a laminated core 1 that allows spiral core pieces to be bonded more easily.
[0071] Moreover, the adhesive portions 31 in the slit grooves can connect the area adhesive portions 32 located in the stacking direction in the stacking direction.
[0072] Therefore, the area adhesive portions 32 can be more firmly connected by the slit groove adhesive portions 31. Therefore, it is possible to provide a laminated core 1 that can more firmly bond the spiral core pieces 10.
[0073] In the laminated core 1 according to this embodiment, the slit grooves 23 have a radially outer groove portion 231 located at the radially outer end, and a radially inner groove portion 232 located radially inward of the radially outer groove portion 231. The average width L231 of the radially outer groove portion 231 is larger than the average width L232 of the radially inner groove portion 232.
[0074] As a result, the average width L231 of the radially outer groove portion 231 is larger than the average width L232 of the radially inner groove portion 232, making it easier to inject the adhesive member M into the radially outer groove portion 231. Therefore, the adhesive fixing portion 30 can be formed more easily.
[0075] In the laminated core 1 according to this embodiment, the slit groove adhesive portion 31 has a radially outer groove adhesive portion 311 extending along the inner wall surface of the radially outer groove portion 231 from one end to the other end in the lamination direction of the radially outer groove portion 231. The lamination regions R1, R2 include back yoke lamination regions RB where the back yoke portions 11 overlap in the lamination direction. The region adhesive portion 32 has a back yoke lamination region adhesive portion 321 connected to the radially outer groove adhesive portion 311 and positioned between the back yoke lamination regions RB to bond the back yoke lamination regions RB together in the lamination direction.
[0076] In the above-described configuration, the back yoke lamination region adhesive portions 321 connected to the radially outer groove adhesive portions 311 bond the back yoke lamination regions RB together in the stacking direction. This allows the back yoke lamination region adhesive portions 321 to more firmly bond the back yoke lamination regions RB together in the stacking direction, and the radially outer groove adhesive portions 311 to connect multiple back yoke lamination region adhesive portions 321 together in the stacking direction. This makes it possible to provide a laminated core 1 in which the stacked back yoke sections 11 are more firmly bonded in the stacking direction.
[0077] In the laminated core 1 according to this embodiment, the lamination regions R1, R2 include teeth laminated regions RT where the tooth portions 12 overlap in the lamination direction. The region bonding portion 32 is connected to the back yoke laminated region bonding portion 321 and has teeth laminated region bonding portions 322 located between the teeth laminated regions RT to bond the teeth laminated regions RT together in the lamination direction.
[0078] In the above-described configuration, the teeth lamination region adhesive portion 322 is connected to the back yoke lamination region adhesive portion 321 and adheres the teeth lamination regions RT to each other in the lamination direction. This allows the teeth lamination region adhesive portion 322 to more firmly adhere not only the back yoke lamination regions RB but also the teeth lamination regions RT to each other in the lamination direction. This makes it possible to provide a laminated core 1 in which the back yoke lamination regions RB and the teeth lamination regions RT are more firmly adhered to each other in the lamination direction.
[0079] In the laminated core 1 according to this embodiment, a plurality of slit grooves 23 are arranged in the circumferential direction C. The area adhesive portions 32 are connected to the slit groove adhesive portions 31 located respectively within the plurality of slit grooves 23 arranged in the circumferential direction C.
[0080] In the above-described configuration, the area adhesive portion 32 is connected to the plurality of slit groove adhesive portions 31 and is located between the plurality of slit groove adhesive portions 31 when viewed in the axial direction.
[0081] As a result, the multiple slit groove adhesive portions 31 can connect the area adhesive portions 32 more firmly in the stacking direction, and the area adhesive portions 32 can bond the laminated areas R1, R2 that overlap in the stacking direction of the core pieces 10 together over a wider range in the stacking direction. Therefore, it is possible to provide a laminated core 1 in which the laminated areas R1, R2 are bonded together even more firmly in the stacking direction.
[0082] In the laminated core 1 according to this embodiment, the slit groove inner adhesive portion 31 extends along the inner wall surface of the slit groove 23 from one end to the other end of the slit groove 23 in the lamination direction.
[0083] As a result, the area adhesive portion 32 can adhere the stacking areas R1 and R2 where the iron core pieces 10 overlap in the stacking direction from one end to the other end in the stacking direction, and the slit groove adhesive portion 31 can connect the area adhesive portion 32 more firmly in the stacking direction.
[0084] Therefore, it is possible to provide a laminated core 1 in which the spiral core pieces 10 are bonded from one end to the other end in the lamination direction.
[0085] The manufacturing method of the laminated core 1 according to this embodiment is a method for manufacturing a cylindrical laminated core 1 in which core pieces 10 are stacked, each core piece having a plate-shaped back yoke portion 11 extending spirally around the axis P, a plurality of plate-shaped tooth portions 12 extending radially inward D1 from the back yoke portion 11 and aligned in the circumferential direction C, and a plurality of slits 13 extending radially outward D2 from the inner end face of the back yoke portion 11 at positions between the base ends of adjacent tooth portions 12 in the circumferential direction C on the back yoke portion 11. This manufacturing method includes a steel plate punching process S2 in which a plate-shaped core piece forming portion 80 is formed by punching a steel plate 70, the plate-shaped core piece forming portion 80 having a strip-shaped back yoke forming portion 81 extending in one direction, a plurality of tooth forming portions 82 that protrude in one direction W1 from an end portion 811 on one side in the width direction of the back yoke forming portion 81 and are aligned in one direction, and a plurality of slit forming portions 83 that extend from the end portion 811 on one side in the width direction of the back yoke forming portion 81 toward the other side in the width direction W2 at positions between base ends of adjacent tooth forming portions 82 in the back yoke forming portion 81 in one direction; a bending process S3 in which gaps between the plurality of slit forming portions 83 in the core piece forming portion 80 formed in the steel plate punching process S2 are eliminated and the core piece forming portion 80 is bent into an arc shape when viewed in the stacking direction to form the core piece 10; and The method includes a stacking process S4 in which the formed core pieces 10 are stacked in the stacking direction; an adhesive material injection process S5 in which adhesive material M is injected from one end in the stacking direction into a slit groove 23 in which multiple slits 13 in the core pieces 10 stacked in the stacking process S4 overlap in the stacking direction, so that the adhesive material M penetrates between the stacking regions R1, R2 of the core pieces 10 that overlap in the stacking direction; and an adhesive material hardening process S6 in which the adhesive material M injected in the adhesive material injection process S5 is hardened to form an intra-slit groove adhesive portion 31 that extends along the inner wall surface of the slit groove 23 from one end in the stacking direction to the other end of the slit groove 23, and an area adhesive portion 32 that is integrally connected to the intra-slit groove adhesive portion 31 and is located between the stacking regions R1, R2 to bond the stacking regions R1, R2 to each other in the stacking direction.
[0086] According to the above-described method, when stacking the iron core pieces 10, it is possible to obtain a configuration in which the laminated regions R1 and R2 are bonded together in the stacking direction by the region adhesive portion 32 without supplying adhesive material M between the laminated regions R1 and R2 adjacent to each other in the stacking direction of the iron core pieces 10.
[0087] This makes it possible to more easily form the area adhesive portion 32. This makes it possible to provide a laminated core 1 to which the spiral core piece 10 can be more easily adhered.
[0088] Moreover, the area adhesive parts 32 located in the stacking direction can be connected in the stacking direction by the slit groove inner adhesive parts 31. Therefore, the area adhesive parts 32 can be connected more firmly by the slit groove inner adhesive parts 31.
[0089] Therefore, it is possible to provide a laminated core 1 to which the spiral core pieces 10 can be more firmly bonded.
[0090] In the manufacturing method of the laminated core 1 according to this embodiment, in the bending step S3, the gaps of the slit forming portions 83 are eliminated to form the average width L131 of the radially outer slit portions 131 located at the radially outer ends of the multiple slits 13 larger than the average width L132 of the radially inner slit portions 132 located radially inward D1 from the radially outer slit portions 131. In the laminating step S4, the core pieces 10 are laminated in the laminating direction to form radially outer groove portions 231, which are portions of the slit grooves 23 where the multiple radially outer slit portions 131 overlap in the laminating direction, and radially inner groove portions 232, which are portions of the slit grooves where the multiple radially inner slit portions 132 overlap in the laminating direction. In the adhesive member injection step S5, an adhesive member M is injected into the radially outer groove portions 231.
[0091] According to the above-described method, it is possible to obtain a configuration in which the average width L231 of the radially outer groove portion 231 formed by laminating the radially outer slit portion 131 is greater than the average width L232 of the radially inner groove portion 232 formed by laminating the radially inner slit portion 132. This makes it easier to inject the adhesive member M into the radially outer groove portion 231. Therefore, in the subsequent adhesive member hardening step S6, the slit groove adhesive portion 31 and the area adhesive portion 32 can be more easily formed.
[0092] In the manufacturing method of the laminated core 1 according to this embodiment, in the bending step S3, the back yoke forming portion 81 is bent into an arc shape when viewed in the stacking direction to form the back yoke portion 11. In the stacking step S4, the back yoke portion 11 formed in the bending step S3 is stacked in the stacking direction. In the adhesive member injection step S5, the adhesive member M injected into the radially outer groove 231 is inserted between the back yoke stacking regions RB of the back yoke portion 11 that overlap in the stacking direction. In the adhesive member hardening step S6, a radially outer groove inner adhesive portion 311 extending along the inner wall surface of the radially outer groove 231 and a back yoke stacking region adhesive portion 321 connected to the radially outer groove inner adhesive portion 311 and positioned between the back yoke stacking regions RB to bond the back yoke stacking regions RB in the stacking direction are formed.
[0093] As a result, the back yoke lamination regions RB can be more firmly bonded to each other in the stacking direction by the back yoke lamination region adhesive portions 321, and the multiple back yoke lamination region adhesive portions 321 can be integrally connected in the stacking direction by the radially outer groove adhesive portions 311. This makes it possible to provide a laminated core 1 in which the stacked back yoke sections 11 are more firmly bonded in the stacking direction.
[0094] In the manufacturing method of the laminated core 1 according to this embodiment, in the bending process S3, the core piece forming portion 80 is bent into an arc shape to form a plurality of tooth forming portions 82 aligned in one direction as a plurality of tooth portions 12 aligned in the circumferential direction C. In the stacking process S4, the tooth portions 12 are stacked in the stacking direction. In the adhesive member injection process S5, the adhesive member M injected into the radial outer grooves 231 is inserted between the back yoke stacking regions RB and into the spaces between the tooth stacking regions RT where the tooth portions 12 overlap in the stacking direction. In the adhesive member hardening process S6, tooth stacking region adhesion portions 322 are formed that are integrally connected to the back yoke stacking region adhesion portions 321 and are located between the tooth stacking regions RT to bond the tooth stacking regions RT together in the stacking direction.
[0095] This allows not only the back yoke lamination regions RB but also the teeth lamination regions RT to be more firmly bonded in the lamination direction by the teeth lamination region adhesive portion 322. Therefore, it is possible to provide a laminated core 1 in which the back yoke lamination regions RB and the teeth lamination regions RT are more firmly bonded in the lamination direction.
[0096] In the manufacturing method of the laminated core 1 according to this embodiment, in the laminating step S4, a plurality of slits 13 are laminated in the lamination direction to form a plurality of slit grooves 23 in the circumferential direction C. In the adhesive member injecting step S5, an adhesive member M is injected into the plurality of slit grooves 23 to connect the adhesive members M injected into the respective slit grooves 23 to each other between the lamination regions R1 and R2. In the adhesive member hardening step S6, a regional adhesive portion is formed that is connected to each of the in-slit groove adhesive portions located in the plurality of slit grooves.
[0097] As a result, the multiple slit groove adhesive portions 31 can connect the area adhesive portions 32 more firmly in the stacking direction, and the area adhesive portions 32 can bond the laminated areas R1, R2 that overlap in the stacking direction of the core pieces 10 together over a wider range in the stacking direction. Therefore, it is possible to provide a laminated core 1 in which the laminated areas R1, R2 are bonded together even more firmly in the stacking direction.
[0098] In the manufacturing method of the laminated core 1 according to this embodiment, in the adhesive member injection step S5, the adhesive member M is injected from one end to the other end in the stacking direction. In the adhesive member hardening step S6, an adhesive portion 31 in the slit groove 23 is formed, extending from one end to the other end in the stacking direction.
[0099] As a result, the region adhesive portions 32 can adhere the laminated regions R1, R2 where the core pieces 10 overlap in the stacking direction from one end to the other in the stacking direction, and the region adhesive portions 32 can be more firmly connected in the stacking direction by the slit groove adhesive portions 31. Therefore, it is possible to provide a laminated core 1 in which the spiral core pieces 10 are more firmly adhered from one end to the other in the stacking direction.
[0100] The motor according to this embodiment includes a stator having a laminated core 1, and a rotor positioned radially relative to the stator and rotating about an axis P of the laminated core 1.
[0101] This makes it possible to obtain a motor having a laminated core 1 with improved connection strength in the lamination direction.
[0102] (Other embodiments) Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the above-described embodiments are merely examples for carrying out the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and it is possible to appropriately modify the above-described embodiments within the scope of the spirit of the present invention.
[0103] In the above embodiment, the slit groove adhesive portion 31 extends from one end of the slit groove 23 to the other end in the stacking direction along the inner wall surface of the slit groove 23. However, the slit groove adhesive portion may extend from one end of the slit groove 23 in the stacking direction to the other end along the inner wall surface of the slit groove. That is, the slit groove adhesive portion may extend, for example, along the inner wall surface of the slit groove from one end of the slit groove in the stacking direction to a position just before the other end. The slit groove adhesive portion may also extend in the stacking direction along at least a portion of the inner wall surface of the slit groove. For example, in a laminated core, the spiral core pieces may be bonded in the stacking direction by combining the slit groove adhesive portion extending in the stacking direction along at least a portion of the inner wall surface of the slit groove with an adhesive portion formed by a known adhesive application method such as spot application.
[0104] In the adhesive member injection step, the adhesive member may be injected along at least a part of the inner wall surface of the slit groove in the stacking direction.
[0105] In the embodiment described above, the slit groove adhesive portions 31 are located in each of the plurality of slit grooves 23 aligned in the circumferential direction C in the laminated core 1. However, the slit groove adhesive portions may be located in at least some of the plurality of slit grooves aligned in the circumferential direction in the laminated core.
[0106] In the adhesive member injection step, the adhesive member may be injected into at least some of the slit grooves arranged in the circumferential direction.
[0107] In the above embodiment, the region adhesive portion 32 includes a back yoke lamination region adhesive portion 321 and a teeth lamination region adhesive portion 322. However, the region adhesive portion may include only the back yoke lamination region adhesive portion without including the teeth lamination region adhesive portion.
[0108] In the above embodiment, the area bonding portion 32 is continuous in a spiral shape in the laminated core 1. However, the area bonding portion does not have to be continuous in a spiral shape in the laminated core 1. In other words, the area bonding portion may not be connected in the circumferential direction, but may bond at least a portion of the back yoke lamination regions together in the stacking direction.
[0109] The region adhesive portion may be located between the stacked regions and may adhere at least a portion of the stacked regions in the stacking direction.
[0110] In the above embodiment, the area adhesive portion 32 is connected to the slit groove adhesive portions 31 located in each of the circumferentially aligned slit grooves 23. However, the area adhesive portion may be connected to at least two or more slit groove adhesive portions among the circumferentially aligned slit grooves.
[0111] In the adhesive member injection step, an adhesive member may be injected into at least two or more of the plurality of slit grooves, and the adhesive member injected into each slit groove may penetrate between the stacked regions to connect the stacked regions to each other. In this way, in the adhesive member hardening step, a region adhesive portion may be formed that is integrally connected with each of the in-slit groove adhesive portions located in the two or more slit grooves.
[0112] This allows the area adhesive portions to be connected more firmly in the stacking direction by at least two or more slit groove adhesive portions while reducing the amount of adhesive material used, and the area adhesive portions can bond the stacked areas together over a wider range in the stacking direction.
[0113] The area adhesive portion may be connected to at least one of the slit groove inner adhesive portions among the plurality of slit grooves arranged in the circumferential direction.
[0114] In the above embodiment, an adhesive such as an anaerobic adhesive can be used as the adhesive member M. However, the adhesive member may be any adhesive as long as it has fluidity, can move along the inner wall surface of the slit groove, and can enter between the stacked regions.
