Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of coil forming equipment, and specifically relates to a stator coil forming method and equipment.
Background Art
[0002] Among many manufacturing methods, the coil 3D forming technology is usually direct three-dimensional forming, that is, in the slots of the stator or in the winding space, the wire is directly placed in a three-dimensional space structure according to the trajectory of the wave.
[0003] However, for the design of a specific stator (such as windings outside the slots or a stator with a special shape), when directly 3D press-forming the stator coil, the needs of a specific stator shape cannot be met.
[0004] Therefore, a method of first 2D-forming a coil with a complex shape and then performing 3D pressing is adopted to meet the manufacturing needs of a specific stator, but a new problem is faced.
[0005] After the 2D coil is processed, the wire is loose and easily deformed. When directly used for 3D forming, the coil shape becomes uncontrollable, affecting the motor performance.
[0006] Therefore, there is a need for a method and equipment that can ensure that the 2D-formed stator coil does not deform after 3D press-forming while satisfying the stator coil formed into a specific shape by 2D forming.

[0013] The present invention has the following beneficial effects compared to the prior art. 1. Equipped with a stable winding structure: Pre-winding treatment improves winding stability and reduces the risk of direct pressing. 2. Optimized winding performance: The combination of coil preforming and press forming improves the winding's filling density, mechanical strength, and heat dissipation performance. 3. Can meet complex needs: The stepwise method is more flexible and suitable for complex stator designs and three-dimensional geometric forms. 4.

For example, it may be a fixed connection, a fixed installation, a removable connection, a removable installation, or an integral connection, or an integral installation. A person skilled in the art can specifically understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention.
[0017] Embodiment As shown in FIGS. 1-3, this embodiment provides a stator coil forming method, and this stator coil forming method includes the following steps.
[0018] As shown in Figure 1, S1, a single straight wave winding is placed in the 2D molding apparatus 11, and by simultaneously extruding both sides of the straight wave winding, one-step molding of the 2D wave winding is achieved.
[0019] S2, the 2D wave winding is placed in the 3D pre-forming machine 22 and pre-winding is performed.
[0020] S2-1, The 2D wave winding formed in a planar shape by the 2D molding device is transported to the 3D pre-molding device 22 for pre-molding preparation.
[0021] S2-2, each bent end of the planar 2D wave winding is wound sequentially around the surface of the 3D preforming machine 22.
[0022] As shown in Figure 2, in S2-3, a planar 2D wave winding is completely wound around the surface of the 3D pre-forming machine 22 to form a wave winding sleeve.
[0023] As shown in Figure 3, S3, the wave winding sleeve is placed over the 3D press forming machine 33, and the upper and lower ends of the adjusted 2D wave winding after the pre-winding process are pressed to form the final wave winding.
[0024] Steps S4 and S1-S3 are repeated to form the required wave windings, which are then placed one by one on the winding machine to manufacture the stator coil.
[0025] The equipment used in the above process is specifically a 2D molding machine 11, a 3D pre-molding machine 22, and a 3D press molding machine 33, which are sequentially mounted on the same table.
[0026] As shown in Figures 4 and 7, the 2D molding apparatus 11 includes a moving means 2 attached to the top of a table, a molding means 3 and a moving end forming line folding means 4 attached to and driven by the top of the moving means 2, and a fixed end forming line folding means 5 attached to the top of the table and cooperating with the molding means 3 to fix the wave winding. In detail, the molding means 3 is used to press the end of the wave winding, and the moving end forming line folding means 4 is used to drive a straight line with the moving means 2 and gradually bring it closer to the fixed end forming line folding means 5, thereby pushing the straight line to fold into a wave winding.
[0027] As shown in Figures 5 and 8, the 3D pre-forming machine 22 includes an adjustment jacking means 6 and a pre-winding means 7 mounted on the top of the table. More specifically, the adjustment jacking means 6 is used to transport the 2D-formed bent wave winding to the bottom of the pre-winding means 7. As the pre-winding means 7 rotates, it hooks and winds the wave winding at the bottom, forming a wave winding sleeve, thereby enabling the pre-winding process of the 2D-formed bent wave winding.
[0028] As shown in Figures 6 and 9, the 3D press forming machine 33 includes a support assembly 8 mounted on the top of the table, and a press assembly 9 surrounding the outside of the support assembly 8. More specifically, the pre-winding process of the wave winding sleeve covers the outside of the support assembly 8, and the press assembly 9 is used to press form the wave winding sleeve in a press die fixed to the outer circumference of the support assembly 8 to obtain the final wave winding. However, there only needs to be a one-to-one correspondence between the press assembly 9 and the press die (for example, press assemblies 9 and press dies provided in different shapes, angles, and positions).
[0029] Furthermore, the structure of the present invention can be realized in multiple different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described above. Any equivalent transformation performed by those skilled in the art using the description and drawings of the present invention, or any application of such equivalent transformation directly or indirectly to other related technical fields (e.g., the field of attaching and detaching other articles), is within the scope of protection of the present invention.
