Patent ID: 7159297

Claim:
A method of manufacturing a rotor of an electric motor having a motor housing, a rotating shaft rotationally supported by the motor housing, and a rotor supported by the rotating shaft, wherein the rotor comprises an inner core fixed to the rotating shaft, and a coil unit having multiple outer cores, bobbins provided on the outer cores and windings respectively wound on the bobbins, wherein the method comprises; a step of forming outer core pieces from metal sheet; a step of measuring a thickness of the metal sheet and deciding a number of lamination of outer core pieces; a step of laminating the decided number of outer core pieces to form the outer core; a step of measuring weight of the outer cores; a step of stratifying the outer cores into a predetermined number of outer core groups, wherein each of the groups has a weight range; a step of forming a winding unit, wherein the winding is formed on the bobbin; a step of measuring weight of the winding units; a step of stratifying the winding units into a predetermined number of winding unit groups, wherein each of the groups has a weight range; a step of preparing a set of coil units, which has a certain number of outer cores and winding units, wherein the outer cores and winding units are respectively picked out from one of the outer core groups and one of the winding unit groups; and a step of assembling the set of coils unit to the inner core.
