Method of manufacturing laminated core

Abstract

A method of manufacturing a laminated stator core includes: forming a band-shaped yoke core sub-piece having a shape that an outer half is developed in a straight line when a yoke portion of the laminated stator core is divided into two halves in the width direction by punching a metal plate; forming an outer laminated yoke body by winding and laminating the band-shaped yoke core sub-piece in a spiral shape and coupling it in a caulking manner; forming an inner yoke-attachment magnetic core sub-piece having an inner yoke sub-portion obtained by dividing the inner half in a unit of magnetic poles when the yoke portion of the laminated stator core is divided into two halves in the width direction, by punching a metal plate; forming an inner yoke-attachment laminated magnetic sub-body by laminating and coupling a predetermined number of the inner yoke-attachment magnetic core sub-pieces to each other in a caulking manner; forming an intermediate assembly in which the inner yoke sub-portions form a ring shape by winding a coil on the inner yoke-attachment laminated magnetic sub-body and connecting the ends of the inner yoke sub-portions in a predetermined number of the inner yoke-attachment laminated magnetic sub-bodies to each other; and coupling the inner yoke-attachment laminated magnetic sub-bodies to the outer laminated yoke body by shrink-fitting the outer laminated yoke body to the outer circumference of the intermediate assembly.
