  • Publication number: 20230219267
    Abstract: To prevent a core from being damaged. A method for manufacturing a reactor includes a step of assembling a core that is configured of a core center part and a pair of core leg parts extending outwardly from the core center part to a coil in such a way that the core center part is inserted into a hollow part of the coil and the coil is sandwiched between the core center part and the pair of the core leg parts; and a step of performing resin molding by disposing the coil and the core that are assembled inside a mold and pouring resin into the mold from a gate provided on the mold to the side which is closer to the coil than the core legs parts are while having an outer surface of each of the core leg parts supported by a support part provided on the mold.

  • Publication number: 20230158715
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for manufacturing a reactor capable of both absorbing a dimensional variation of a core and preventing deformation due to a resin pressure during molding are provided. An apparatus for manufacturing a reactor is provided with a core. The apparatus includes a mold including a cavity for housing the core. The mold includes a plurality of pins protruding into the cavity. When the core is disposed in the cavity, at least one of the plurality of pins is not fixed, and each of the pins functions as a positioning pin. When a molded article is molded, the pin is fixed, and each pin functions as a core support pin for supporting the core against a resin pressure during molding.

  • Patent number: 9935531
    Abstract: A manufacturing method for a laminated rotor includes inserting a bridge member into a magnetic flux leakage suppression hole, thus allowing a tip of the bridge member to project from an end surface of the laminated steel sheet, and bringing a die surface of a die member into pressure contact with an end surface of the laminated steel sheet and filling a molten resin into a gap between a magnet hole and a magnet body in a state where an opening of the magnet hole is closed. A length of the bridge member is larger than a thickness of the laminated steel sheet. The die member includes a housing portion. The housing portion houses the tip of the bridge member projecting from an end surface of the laminated steel sheet.
