Patent ID: 8516682

Claim:
A manufacturing method of a stator core of a rotating electrical machine comprising: a pressing process that forms a core sheet that has slots punched out on one side in a width direction of a strip of steel sheet at a fixed interval to form teeth between the slots, and core-back parts on another side of the steel sheet; a winding process that forms a helically stacked core by winding spirally and stacking cylindrically the core sheet so that the slots and teeth are positioned in an inner diameter side of the stacked core; a joining process that joins between each layer of the helically stacked core; and a finishing process that corrects inner and outer shapes to predetermined forms while correcting gaps of stacking of the helically stacked core; wherein, the finishing process buckles the core-back part by a coining process that simultaneously moves a coining punch divided in a circumferential direction and arranged around the helically stacked core to a center side in a radial direction and presses an outer surface of each core-back part of the helically stacked core while pressing down an end side of the helically stacked core by a holding device, and both the core-back part and the teeth are deformed until an end side of an inner circumferential surface of the teeth becomes coaxial with the coining punch and contacts an inner circumferential surface pole arranged inside the helically stacked core so as to correct inner and outer circumferential surfaces of the helically stacked core.
