Patent ID: 7360303

Claim:
A manufacturing method for a winding assembly of a rotating electrical machine, comprising a winding step of winding respective winding members so that each of the plural winding members has a first straight part, a second straight part, a first turn part connecting the first straight part and the second straight part at their one sides, and a second turn part connecting the first straight part and the second straight part at the other sides, wherein at the winding step, a rotation block and a fixed block are used, the rotation block includes a rotation surface rotatable around a rotation axis, the fixed block includes a first and a second surfaces opposite to each other and a shaping surface formed between end parts of the first surface and the second surface, and the shaping surface is made to have a substantial semicircular shape with the rotation axis as a center and is extended in a direction of the rotation axis, and the winding step includes a first and a second wire rod feed steps, and a first and a second wire rod turn steps, at the first and the second wire rod feed steps, plural wire rods are supplied such that in a state where they are arranged substantially in parallel to each other, the wire rods extend from the first surface of the fixed block onto the rotation surface of the rotation block and project by a predetermined dimension from the rotation axis, and consequently, lengths of the first and the second straight parts are respectively set, and at the first and the second wire rod turn steps, the plural wire rods on the rotation surface of the rotation block, together with the rotation block, are rotated, so that the plural wire rods are simultaneously bent along the shaping surface, and the first and the second turn parts are respectively formed.
