  • Patent number: 9705369
    Abstract: A method of resin-sealing a laminated core, including inserting permanent magnets 24 into magnet insertion holes 18 of a core body 15, pressing the body 15 with upper and lower dies 11, 12, and injecting resin 29 to the holes 18 from a resin reservoir 17 of the die 11 or 12 via a runner 19 in a removable cull plate 14, one end of the runner 19 having plural resin injection holes 33, 34 per hole 18. The resin 29 presses the magnets 24 in the holes 18 to one sides in a radial direction of the holes 18. Thereby, resin-sealing is performed using the plate 14 and the magnets 24 are arranged in radially outward or inward sides even with narrow gaps between the magnets 24 and the holes 18 or without resin injection holes in centers in a width direction of the holes 18.

  • Patent number: 9692281
    Abstract: There is provided a method for producing a rotor laminated core by laminating circular core pieces. The method determines a first blanking area, a second blanking area and a third blanking area in the magnetic steel board, wherein the first blanking area defines a shape of the core piece, the second blanking area defines a shape of a magnet-insertion hole, and the third blanking area defines a shape of an arbitrary part in the magnetic steel board. The method also forms a temporary aperture in the second blanking area, forms a thinning part which extends from the temporary aperture to the third blanking area, and blanks the first blanking area, the second blanking area and the third blanking area, thereby producing each circular core piece including the thinning part and magnet-insertion holes formed in a circumferential direction.

  • Patent number: 9520218
    Abstract: A method of resin-sealing for a laminated core includes the steps of: holding by sandwiching a core body 11 between a resin injection mold 20 and a supporting mold 21; extruding a molten resin using a plunger 37 from a resin reservoir pot 24 provided in the resin injection mold 20; and resin-sealing the permanent magnets 18 in the magnet insertion holes 16 and 17, wherein a material of the resin reservoir pot 24 of the resin injection mold 20 and a region through which the resin passes from the resin reservoir pot 24 is a superhard material, and wear in the resin injection mold 20 due to a flow of the resin is reduced. With this, a gap between the resin reservoir pot 24 and the resin injection mold 20 due to a difference in thermal expansion is less easily produced.
