Title: Innovations by Naohiko Aoyama
Introduction
Naohiko Aoyama is a prominent inventor based in Tokyo, Japan. He has made significant contributions to the field of engineering, particularly in the development of advanced coil-winding technologies. With a total of six patents to his name, Aoyama's work has had a notable impact on manufacturing processes.
Latest Patents
One of Aoyama's latest patents is the "Coil-winding machine stator installation jig." This invention provides a consistent amount of slack in stator coil wires without increasing the complexity of coil-winding machines or adding production steps. It prevents the crossing of stator coil wires in slack areas. The design includes a stator stack with magnetic pole teeth mounted in a stator installation jig, where slack forming plates with grooves project above the stator stack's surface. This innovative approach allows the coil-winding machine to wind stator coil wires around the magnetic pole teeth efficiently. After winding, the ends of the stator coil wires are passed through grooves to output pins, ensuring a streamlined process.
Another significant patent is related to "Iron core winding, method of winding an iron core, and variable reluctance angle detector." This invention involves coiling a winding of a given polarity in series, ensuring that the beginning and ending of each coiling cross on a magnetic pole positioned circumferentially around the iron core. Upon completion, the winding direction is reversed for the remainder of the winding, which has the opposite polarity. This method results in a consistent number of windings for each pole and produces an induced voltage output in the form of a sine wave.
