Laminated Core Bonding with Separated Pressing and Heating
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing method for producing laminated cores results in the generation of compressive residual stress and increased iron loss due to concurrent pressurization and heating of iron core sheets.
Innovation Solution
A production apparatus and method that involves cutting core sheets from a steel strip with an adhesive layer, laterally pressurizing the outer peripheral portion using a first holding part, and heating the core sheets while being held in a separate second holding part, ensuring pressurization and heating occur at different stages to prevent adhesive softening and residual stress.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If pressurization and heating of iron core sheets occur concurrently, then production efficiency is improved, but compressive residual stress is generated and iron loss increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the holding part into a first holding part and a second holding part that are separate from each other. The first holding part applies lateral pressurization to the outer peripheral portion of core sheets, while the second holding part supports the core sheets during heating. This segmentation allows pressurization and heating to occur at different locations without interfering with each other, preventing the generation of compressive residual stress while maintaining production efficiency.
2Reliability
If lateral pressurization is applied to outer peripheral portion during heating, then adhesive softening is prevented, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The holding part is segmented into two independent parts: the first holding part that applies lateral pressurization and the second holding part that supports during heating. This segmentation enables the system to maintain adhesive bonding quality by preventing softening while keeping each component's function simple and well-defined.
Solution Approach 2:
The first holding part acts as an intermediary that applies controlled lateral pressurization to the outer peripheral portion of core sheets during heating. This intermediary action prevents adhesive softening without requiring complex integrated systems, as the first holding part can be a simple pressurization mechanism.
