- the permanent magnets 62 are fixed in the magnet holes 322 of the rotor core 32 by a resin material layer 72.
- the resin material layer 72 may be formed, for example, from a thermosetting resin or from a thermoplastic resin. A method for forming the resin material layer 72 will be described in detail later.
- the resin material layer 72 is bonded, for example, to both the permanent magnet 62 and the rotor core 32 with an anchor effect.
- the anchor effect on the permanent magnet 62 side may be achieved by roughening the insulating layer (not shown) provided as a surface coating for the permanent magnet 62.
- the anchor effect on the rotor core 32 side may be achieved by forming the rotor core 32 from laminated steel plates.
- the resin material layer 72 may be joined to the permanent magnet 62 in such a manner that both axial end faces 621, 622 of the permanent magnet 62 are exposed.

- the resin material layer 72 is bonded to the peripheral wall surface of the magnet hole 322 over its entire circumference when viewed in the axial direction. That is, the resin material layer 72 is bonded to the magnet hole 322 over its entire circumference.

- This manufacturing method first prepares the permanent magnets 62 and includes a steel plate lamination process (step S1) in which multiple steel plates 3250 are laminated as a preparation process for preparing the workpiece W of the rotor core 32.
- the workpiece W of the rotor core 32 may be a unit of the laminated block.
- the manufacturing method includes a workpiece supporting step (step S2) of placing the workpiece W on the support jig 120, as shown in FIG. 6.
- the support jig 120 is one element of the manufacturing apparatus 100, and may support the workpiece W while transporting the workpiece W between each process.
- the support jig 120 may be in the form of a movable conveyor or the like, or may be in the form of a transport tray that is transported by being placed on a conveyor or the like.
- the support jig 120 may also be configured to be grasped by a transport robot.
- the manufacturing method includes a preheating process (step S3) (an example of a heat application process) of preheating the workpiece W.
- the preheating process may be achieved by an induction heating device, a heating furnace, or the like.
- the induction heating device may be disposed radially inside and/or radially outside the rotor core 32 of the workpiece W.
- the preheating process (step S3) may be achieved by using a heating device 160 (see Figures 10 and 11) described below.
- the manufacturing method includes a nozzle positioning step (step S4) in which the nozzle 131 of the resin placement device 130 is positioned within the magnet hole 322 of the workpiece W on the support jig 120.
- the nozzle 131 of the resin placement device 130 may be positioned so that it can be inserted into and removed from the magnet hole 322 by vertical movement.
- the manufacturing method includes a resin injection process (step S5) in which the resin material 90 for forming the above-mentioned resin material layer 72 is placed in the magnet hole 322 in a molten state.
- the resin material 90 may be molten in a resin injector (not shown) and introduced to the nozzle 131.
- the nozzle 131 may eject the molten resin material 90 from the outlet 1310 with the outlet 1310 inserted into the magnet hole 322.
- the amount of heat dissipation can be reduced (and therefore the molten state can be easily maintained), and the occurrence of resin material 90 that does not enter the magnet hole 322 due to scattering or the like can be prevented.
- the resin material 90 is a thermosetting resin material with a relatively low viscosity, and is injected in a pre-hardened state (a flowable molten state). Therefore, the resin material 90 injected into the magnet hole 322 flows (falls) downward due to its own weight, and accumulates with the surface of the support jig 120 as the bottom surface.
- the resin material 90 preferably has a melt viscosity of 500 Pa ⁇ s or more, and more preferably has a melt viscosity of 700 Pa ⁇ s or more, at 90° C. and a shear rate of 1/s.
- a resin material 90 may include a crystalline radically polymerizable composition as described in JP 2021-161164 A, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.
- the resin material 90 has a characteristic that the melting temperature and the curing temperature are different.
- the resin material 90 described in JP 2021-101605 A the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference, may be used.
- the melting temperature (melting start temperature) is, for example, 60° C.
- the curing temperature (curing start temperature) is, for example, 120° C.
- the resin temperature heated by the resin injection machine may be a temperature (for example, 80° C.) higher than the melting temperature (for example, 60° C.) and lower than the curing temperature. This allows the resin material 90 to be placed (injected) into the magnet hole 322 in a pre-curing state (flowable molten state) without starting to cure the resin material 90.
- the manufacturing method includes a magnet insertion process (step S6) in which a permanent magnet 62 is placed in the magnet hole 322 of the workpiece W on the support jig 120, as shown diagrammatically in FIG. 9.
- the permanent magnet 62 may be inserted to a position where the lower end face 622 abuts against the surface of the support jig 120 without any gaps (i.e., a position where they make surface contact).
- the magnet insertion process (step S6) is performed while maintaining the resin material 90 in the magnet hole 322 of the workpiece W in a molten state. Therefore, when the permanent magnet 62 is inserted into the molten resin material 90 that accumulates in the lower part of the magnet hole 322 of the workpiece W (the lower part with the surface of the support jig 120 on the lower side), the molten resin material 90 is pushed aside and rises by an amount corresponding to the volume of the permanent magnet 62.
- the molten resin material 90 reaches the periphery of the permanent magnet 62 (it is pushed up by the permanent magnet 62 and reaches the periphery of the permanent magnet 62), and extends over the same extension range as the extension range of the resin material layer 72 as described above with reference to FIG. 3.
- the resin material 90 has a relatively low melt viscosity as described above, so that it can easily and tightly extend around the permanent magnet 62 during the magnet insertion process. That is, the resin material 90 in the magnet hole 322 can easily wrap around the permanent magnet 62 while being pushed aside by the permanent magnet 62. This can increase the fixing strength of the resin material layer 72 formed by the resin material 90 (fixing strength related to the permanent magnet 62).
- the resin material 90 preferably has a property that the curing reaction does not substantially proceed when in a molten state below the curing temperature.
- the curing reaction does not substantially proceed may include, for example, a state in which the content of the curing reaction material is 10% or less.
- the resin material 90 can maintain a relatively low melt viscosity as described above. Therefore, even in the magnet insertion process (step S6) performed after the resin injection process (step S5), the resin material 90 can maintain a relatively low melt viscosity as described above. This allows the resin material 90 to easily extend around the permanent magnet 62 without gaps during the magnet insertion process (step S6).
- the amount V2 (ml) of resin material 90 injected into one magnet hole 322 may be less than the difference between the volume V0 (cm 3 ) of that one magnet hole 322 and the volume V1 (cm 3 ) of the permanent magnet 62 inserted into that one magnet hole 322 by a margin ⁇ (ml).
- V2 V0 - V1 - ⁇ . This reduces the possibility that the molten resin material 90 pushed aside by the permanent magnet 62 will overflow from the magnet hole 322 during the magnet insertion process (step S6).
- the allowance ⁇ is preferably adapted so that the resin material 90 does not reach the upper end surface 621 of the permanent magnet 62 during the magnet insertion process (step S6). This is because if a layer of resin material 90 is formed on the upper end surface 621 of the permanent magnet 62, a thermal stress problem will occur. That is, due to the difference in linear expansion coefficient between the permanent magnet 62 and the resin material 90 layer, thermal stress will be a problem due to the difference in axial expansion and contraction that occurs between the two when the temperature changes. Therefore, by adapting the allowance ⁇ , it is possible to reduce the thermal stress problem due to the difference in axial expansion and contraction between the resin material layer 72 and the permanent magnet 62.
- the magnet insertion process (step S6) is performed while maintaining the resin material 90 in the magnet hole 322 of the workpiece W in a molten state.
- heat may be applied to the resin material 90 in the magnet hole 322 of the workpiece W by the heating device 160 so that the molten state of the resin material 90 can be appropriately maintained.
- the temperature of the resin material 90 may be heated to a hardening temperature or higher in a manner that does not impair the ease of inserting the permanent magnet 62 during the magnet insertion process (step S6). That is, the resin hardening process (step S7) described later may be started in a manner that overlaps with the magnet insertion process (step S6).
- the temperature of the resin material 90 may be managed so that the temperature of the resin material 90 does not reach or exceed the hardening temperature (for example, so that it is maintained at a temperature significantly lower than the hardening temperature) until the magnet insertion process (step S6) is completed.
- the heating device 160 which is one element of the manufacturing apparatus 100, is disposed radially inside and outside the rotor core 32 of the workpiece W.
- the heating device 160 can heat the resin material 90 via the rotor core 32, so that the resin material 90 can be maintained in a molten state.
- the heating device 160 may be, for example, an induction heating device.
- Such a heating device 160 may also function in the resin injection process (step S5). That is, in the resin injection process (step S5), heat may be applied by the heating device 160 to the resin material 90 that is poured into the magnet hole 322. In this case, too, the heating device 160 can heat the resin material 90 via the rotor core 32, so that the molten state of the resin material 90 can be effectively maintained.
- a preheating process may be separately performed to preheat the permanent magnet 62 to be inserted.
- a magnet preheating process to preheat the permanent magnet 62 may be separately performed before the magnet insertion process (step S6).
- heat can be applied directly to the resin material 90 by the permanent magnet 62 itself.
- the magnet preheating process may preferably include heating the permanent magnet 62 to a temperature equal to or higher than the curing temperature of the resin material 90.
- the resin material 90 rises to above the curing start temperature due to the heat of the permanent magnet 62 from the part that touches the permanent magnet 62.
- the part of the resin material 90 that touches the permanent magnet 62 reaches above the curing start temperature and begins thermal curing.
- the magnet insertion process is completed before the time it takes for the resin material 90 to cure (completely gel) (gel time or gelation time). Therefore, it is possible to achieve both ease of insertion of the permanent magnet 62 (ease of insertion work so that the permanent magnet 62 can be positioned at the desired position in the magnet hole 322) and positional stability of the positioned permanent magnet 62.
- the positional stability of the permanent magnet 62 is achieved by making it difficult for the permanent magnet 62 to move due to an increase in the viscosity of the resin material 90 around the permanent magnet 62.
- the resin material 90 is a thermoplastic resin material
- the rotor core 32 and the like are heated (or preheated by the preheating process described above) to maintain the resin material 90 in a molten state during the magnet insertion process (step S6).
- the temperature of the resin material 90 may be set relatively high during injection in the resin injection process (step S5). Even if the resin material 90 is a thermoplastic resin material, by appropriately setting the temperature of the resin material 90 during the magnet insertion process (step S6), it is possible to achieve both ease of insertion of the permanent magnet 62 (ease of positioning the permanent magnet 62 at the desired position within the magnet hole 322) and positional stability of the positioned permanent magnet 62.
- the resin material 90 has a relatively low melt viscosity as described above, so that the resin material 90 is more likely to leak out from between the steel plates 3250 than when the resin material 90 has a relatively high melt viscosity.
- the resin material 90 is not pressurized in the magnet hole 322, so that the possibility of the resin material 90 leaking out from between the steel plates 3250 can be reduced. That is, the magnet insertion process (step S6) is performed with the inside of the magnet hole 322 of the workpiece W open to atmospheric pressure. This significantly reduces the possibility of the resin material 90 leaking out from between the steel plates 3250 in the magnet insertion process (step S6).
- the resin material 90 starts to harden when it comes into contact with the rotor core 32, so that the possibility of the resin material 90 leaking out from between the steel plates 3250 can be reduced.
- a pressed state in which the rotor core 32 is pressed in the axial direction may be formed during the magnet insertion process (step S6).
- the magnet insertion process (step S6) may be performed together with a pressing process in which the rotor core 32 is pressed in the axial direction.
- the manufacturing apparatus 100 has a pressing tool 170 that applies an axial force to the rotor core 32.
- the pressing tool 170 presses the workpiece W on the support tool 120 from above (see pressing force F80) and applies an axial force to the rotor core 32 (see axial force F82).
- the pressing tool 170 may have a hole 172 that opens the upper part of the magnet hole 322. In this case, the permanent magnet 62 can be inserted while maintaining the pressing state of the pressing tool 170 against the rotor core 32.
- Such a pressing tool 170 may also function in the resin injection process (step S5). That is, in the resin injection process (step S5), the resin material 90 may be placed in the magnet hole 322 under pressure from the pressing tool 170. In this case, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the resin material 90, which has a relatively low melt viscosity, will leak out from between the steel plates 3250 from the resin injection process (step S5) stage. In this case, the resin injection process (step S5) may be realized by utilizing the hole 172 of the pressing tool 170.
- the manufacturing method includes a resin curing process (step S7) in which the resin material 90 injected into the magnet hole 322 is cured.
- the resin curing process (step S7) includes heating the molten resin material 90 to a temperature equal to or higher than the curing temperature. Note that, if the resin material 90 is a thermoplastic resin material, the resin curing process (step S7) includes cooling the molten resin material 90 to a temperature equal to or lower than the curing temperature.
- the resin curing process (step S7) may overlap with the magnet insertion process (step S6) in such a manner that the magnet insertion process (step S6) is completed before the resin curing process (step S7) is completed. That is, the resin curing process (step S7) may be performed in parallel with the magnet insertion process (step S6).
- the temperature of the resin material 90 may be raised to a temperature equal to or higher than the curing temperature in the resin injection process (step S5). That is, part of the resin curing process (step S7) may be realized in the resin injection process (step S5).
- thermosetting resin suitable as the resin material 90 when the thermosetting resin suitable as the resin material 90 is heated above the curing temperature, it gels and then undergoes a state change called complete curing.
- Gelling refers to a state in which the viscosity of the resin rises sharply due to the crosslinking reaction, in other words, a transition to a semi-solid state.
- Complete curing refers to a state in which the molecular chains after the crosslinking reaction are densified and stabilized. Note that. Generally, the gelation time is greater than the complete curing time.
- the completion of the resin curing process (step S7) corresponds to the completion of gelation of the entire resin material 90 injected into the magnet hole 322.
- step S7 when the resin curing process (step S7) is performed in parallel with the magnet insertion process (step S6), it is sufficient that the magnet insertion process (step S6) is completed by the time gelation is completed. In this case, the time required from the start of the magnet insertion process (step S6) to the completion of the resin curing process (step S7) can be shortened.
- the resin curing process (step S7) may be realized by only these heat sources. In other words, the resin curing process (step S7) does not require the application of new heat energy (further heating).
- the magnet preheating process (step S6A) is performed, as described above, the heat from the permanent magnets 62 initiates the curing reaction of the resin material 90. Therefore, even if the workpiece (the rotor core 32 with the permanent magnets 62 inserted therein) is moved for further heating, the permanent magnets 62 can be prevented from shifting in position due to the movement.
- the heating device 160 which is one element of the manufacturing apparatus 100, is disposed radially inside and outside the rotor core 32 of the workpiece W, and can heat and harden the resin material 90 via the rotor core 32.
- the heating device 160 is, for example, an induction heating device, but may also be realized by a heating furnace.
- the resin curing process (step S7) is preferably performed while applying an axial force F92 to the rotor core 32 of the workpiece W, as shown in FIG. 11.
- the manufacturing apparatus 100 has a pressing tool 170 that applies an axial force to the rotor core 32, as shown in FIG. 11, and the pressing tool 170 applies an axial force to the rotor core 32 by pressing the workpiece W on the support jig 120 from above (see pressing force F90) (see axial force F92).
- the magnitude of the axial force F92 is preferably set based on the magnitude of the axial force that the rotor core 32 receives when assembling the rotor 30 using the rotor core 32 in the later step S9.
- the axial force that the rotor core 32 receives when assembling the rotor 30 may correspond to, for example, the axial force (see force F10 in FIG. 1) generated by being clamped by the end plates 35A and 35B.
- the magnitude of the axial force F92 may correspond to the design value or measured value of the magnitude of the axial force F10. Note that the design value does not necessarily have to be the value written on the design drawing, but is a concept that includes suitable values and target values obtained in the design through analysis, etc.
- the magnitude of the axial force F92 generated in the workpiece W may be set based on the magnitude of the axial force F10 (hereinafter also referred to simply as "axial force F10 in the mounted state") that the rotor core 32 receives when assembling the rotor 30.
- this manufacturing method includes a magnetization process (step S8) in which the permanent magnet 62 is magnetized.
- the permanent magnet 62 when performing the magnet preheating process (step S6A), the permanent magnet 62 will be heated before the magnetization process (step S8), but this heating will not cause any substantial inconvenience (effect on the magnetization characteristics or the magnetic characteristics after magnetization).
- the magnetization process (step S8) may be performed at an earlier stage (for example, before the magnet insertion process or the magnet preheating process).
- this manufacturing method includes a step (step S9) of assembling the rotor 30 with the rotor core 32 after step S7.
- the rotor core 32 is fixed (e.g., pressed in) to the rotor shaft 34, and end plates 35A, 35B are attached.
- the rotor 30 assembled in this manner is then attached to a case (not shown) together with the stator 21, etc., to assemble the motor 1.
- the permanent magnet 62 is inserted into the magnet hole 322 with the molten resin material 90 extending into the magnet hole 322. Therefore, during the magnet insertion process (step S6), the molten resin material 90 in the magnet hole 322 does not provide significant resistance to the insertion of the permanent magnet 62. This allows the permanent magnet 62 to be positioned at the desired position in the magnet hole 322. This effect is more pronounced when the resin material 90 has a relatively low melt viscosity. In this way, according to this manufacturing method, the permanent magnet 62 can be inserted into the desired position in the magnet hole 322 and fixed in place by the resin material 90.
- a common heating device 160 and pressing tool 170 can be used in the magnet insertion process (step S6), or in the resin injection process (step S5) and magnet insertion process (step S6), and the resin hardening process (step S7). This allows for efficient manufacturing of the motor 1.
