Abstract: A method of manufacturing a laminated rotor core, includes a first process of placing segment dummy plates between an iron core and a die, each of each segment dummy plates covering one or more of plural magnet insertion portions and including a resin injection hole communicating to the one or more of the magnet insertion portions; a second process of injecting a resin from resin reservoir parts formed in any one of an upper die and a lower die holding the iron core through the resin injection hole of each segment dummy plate to the corresponding one or more of the magnet insertion portions; and a third process of detaching the segment dummy plates together with excess resin after the resin injected to the one or more of the magnet insertion portions is cured.

Abstract: A laminated core 10 improves material yield and prevents cracks or breakages of core pieces by relaxing stress on connecting portions 13. A connected core segment 14 to be the laminated core 10 includes: a V-shaped cutout 17 located radially inward from the connecting portion 13, the cutout 17 opening in a radially inward direction with an opening angle of 360°/n given that n is a number of core segments 19; a slit 18 located radially outward from the connecting portion 13, the slit 18 dividing adjacent segment yokes 12 located radially outward from the connecting portion; a first through-hole 20 having a circular arc formed in a radially outward end of the cutout 17 in contact with the connecting portion 13; and a second through-hole 21 having a circular arc formed in a radially inward end of the slit 18 in contact with the connecting portion 13.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a laminated rotor core, including inserting permanent magnets into magnet insertion portions of an iron core formed by laminating plural core sheets; and thereafter to fix the magnets, injecting resin into the magnet insertion portions from a resin reservoir part in a die holding the iron core; the method comprising: a first process of placing a segment dummy plate between the body and the die, the plate covering one or more of the plural magnet insertion portions individually and including a resin injection hole continuing thereto; a second process of injecting the resin from the resin reservoir part of the die through the resin injection hole of the plate to the corresponding magnet insertion portions; and a third process of detaching the dummy plate with excess resin after the resin injected to the magnet insertion portions is cured; and the method improving a resin sealing process.
