Description

本発明は、例えば、電動機用コイルを構成する断面円形或は矩形の金属線（例えば平角線）や、その他、棒材、パイプ材、板材等の所定の素材に曲げ加工を施す曲げ加工装置及び曲げ加工機に係り、詳しくは、前記素材の曲げ加工時に生じる引き込みをなくすことにより、曲げ加工を精度良く行える曲げ加工装置及び曲げ加工機に関する。 The present invention relates to a bending apparatus for bending a predetermined material such as a metal wire having a circular or rectangular cross section (for example, a flat wire) constituting a coil for an electric motor, or a bar material, a pipe material, a plate material, and the like. More particularly, the present invention relates to a bending apparatus and a bending machine that can perform bending with high accuracy by eliminating pull-in that occurs during bending of the material.

一般的に、電動機用コイル等は、曲げ治具に金属線等の素材を巻き付けることにより曲げ加工を施すことにより得る。従来、曲げ治具を素材上で回転させることにより、該素材を該曲げ治具に巻き付ける方法が、特許文献１により提案されている。又、素材の曲げ中心と一致させた位置で一方の治具を回転させ、該素材を他方の治具に巻き付ける方法が、特許文献２により提案されている。更に、素材の２個所を同時に曲げる場合には、素材の２個所をクランプで固定し、素材を引っ張りつつ曲げる方法が、特許文献３により提案されている。 Generally, a coil for an electric motor or the like is obtained by bending a material such as a metal wire around a bending jig. Conventionally, Patent Document 1 proposes a method of winding a material on the bending jig by rotating the bending jig on the material. Further, Patent Document 2 proposes a method in which one jig is rotated at a position coinciding with the bending center of the material and the material is wound around the other jig. Furthermore, in the case of bending two parts of the material at the same time, Patent Document 3 proposes a method of fixing the two parts of the material with a clamp and bending the material while pulling.

上述の特許文献１に記載された構造の場合、曲げ加工を行う際に、素材の端部を曲げ治具に固定した状態で、該曲げ治具を回転させつつ該素材に沿って移動させる必要がある。この為、機構が複雑になり、正確な曲げ加工を行えない可能性がある。 In the case of the structure described in Patent Document 1 described above, when bending, it is necessary to move the bending jig along the material while rotating the bending jig while the end of the material is fixed to the bending jig. There is. For this reason, the mechanism becomes complicated and there is a possibility that accurate bending cannot be performed.

又、特許文献２に記載された構造の場合、素材の曲げ中心と両治具の回動中心とを一致させている為、曲げ加工の際に、該素材が何れかの治具に対して変位する（素材が引き込まれる）。この様な素材の引き込みに就いて、図１５により説明する。図１５に示す曲げ加工装置１は、素材２の曲げるべき部分の両側に第一及び第二の治具３、４を配置している。そして、該両治具３、４を、図１５の（Ａ）→（Ｂ）に示す様に、回動軸５を中心として相対的に回動させることより、前記素材２に曲げ加工を施す。図１５に示した構造の場合、前記両治具３、４の回動中心と前記素材２の曲げ中心とを一致させている。又、該素材２は前記第二の治具４に変位不能に固定される。この為、曲げ加工の際に、該素材２が前記回動軸５の外周面に沿って曲げられる分、前記第一の治具３に対し変位し、図１５の（Ａ）→（Ｂ）に示す様に、該素材２の端部が該第一の治具３の端面から突出する量が短くなる（引き込まれる）。 Further, in the case of the structure described in Patent Document 2, since the bending center of the material and the rotation center of both jigs coincide with each other, the material is not attached to any of the jigs during the bending process. Displace (the material is pulled in). Such material pull-in will be described with reference to FIG. In the bending apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 15, first and second jigs 3 and 4 are arranged on both sides of a portion of the material 2 to be bent. Then, as shown in FIGS. 15A to 15B, the jigs 3 and 4 are rotated relative to each other about the rotation shaft 5 to bend the material 2. . In the case of the structure shown in FIG. 15, the rotation centers of the jigs 3 and 4 are aligned with the bending center of the material 2. The material 2 is fixed to the second jig 4 so that it cannot be displaced. Therefore, during bending, the material 2 is displaced with respect to the first jig 3 by the amount bent along the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 5, and (A) → (B) in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the amount by which the end portion of the material 2 protrudes from the end surface of the first jig 3 is shortened (drawn).

この様に、曲げ加工の際に素材２が第一の治具３に対し変位した場合、該素材２が該第一の治具３と擦れ合い、該素材２が損傷する可能性がある。又、上述の様に、曲げ加工の際に素材２が第一の治具３に対し変位する場合、複数の曲げ加工装置を組み合わせて、前記素材２の複数個所を同時に曲げる加工を行いにくい。 In this way, when the material 2 is displaced with respect to the first jig 3 during the bending process, the material 2 may rub against the first jig 3 and the material 2 may be damaged. Further, as described above, when the material 2 is displaced with respect to the first jig 3 during bending, it is difficult to perform a process of bending a plurality of portions of the material 2 at the same time by combining a plurality of bending devices.

これに対して特許文献３に記載された構造の場合、素材の２個所に同時に曲げ加工を施している。又、素材の曲げ中心と回動中心とがオフセットしていると共に、素材を固定する両クランプが接離し得る方向にスライド自在に連結されている。そして、両クランプに曲げ及び引っ張り力（バックテンション）を作用して、素材を２個所で曲げているが、この際、素材が引き込みを生じないように、両クランプが離れる方向に大きなバックテンションを作用する必要がある。この為、曲げ加工の際に、素材の寸法管理が難しく、正確な曲げ加工を行いにくい。 On the other hand, in the case of the structure described in Patent Document 3, bending is simultaneously applied to two portions of the material. In addition, the bending center and the rotation center of the material are offset, and both clamps for fixing the material are slidably connected in a direction in which they can come in contact with and away from each other. Then, bending and pulling force (back tension) is applied to both clamps, and the material is bent at two locations. At this time, a large back tension is applied in the direction in which both clamps are separated so that the material does not pull in. Need to work. For this reason, it is difficult to manage the dimensions of the material during bending, and it is difficult to perform accurate bending.

そこで、本発明は、金属線等の素材に正確な曲げ加工を施すことができ、曲げ加工の際に、該素材が引き込まれることを防止して、曲げ加工時に該素材に損傷が生じることを防止し、更には、複数個所に同時に曲げ加工を施しても加工精度を良好にできる曲げ加工装置及び曲げ加工機を提供することを目的とするものである。 Therefore, the present invention can accurately bend a material such as a metal wire, prevent the material from being pulled in during bending, and cause damage to the material during bending. Further, it is an object of the present invention to provide a bending apparatus and a bending machine that can improve the processing accuracy even if bending is performed simultaneously at a plurality of locations.

一方、第二の治具４ａは、前記第一の治具３ａと同様の抑え部６と、保持部９とを備える。但し、該第一の治具３ａと異なり、曲げ部７は備えていない。前記第二の治具４ａの場合、該曲げ部７を備えていない為、前記抑え部６の抑え面８と前記保持部９の保持面１０との間でのみ、前記素材２を挟持している。 On the other hand, the 2nd jig | tool 4a is provided with the holding | suppressing part 6 and the holding | maintenance part 9 similar to said 1st jig | tool 3a. However, unlike the first jig 3a, the bending portion 7 is not provided. In the case of the second jig 4a, since the bending portion 7 is not provided, the material 2 is sandwiched only between the holding surface 8 of the holding portion 6 and the holding surface 10 of the holding portion 9. Yes.

それぞれが上述のように構成される第一、第二の治具３ａ、４ａは、前述したように、回動軸５ａを介して連結される。そして、該回動軸５ａの回動中心Ｏを中心として、互いに相対的に回動可能である。曲げ加工の際には、前記第一の治具３ａに固定した前記曲げ部７は、回動の前後で、図１の（Ａ）→（Ｂ）に示すように、直線状態にある前記両治具３ａ、４ａに対して前記回動中心Ｏを通る直交線（仮想線α）を跨ぐように、相対的に移動し、その中心が前記素材２の曲げ中心Ｐと一致する。該曲げ中心Ｐは、前記回動中心Ｏから該素材２の回動側に、前記両治具３ａ、４ａの相対的な回動角度が前記素材２の曲げ角度と等しくなるように所定量オフセットして配置される。 The first and second jigs 3a and 4a, each configured as described above, are connected via the rotation shaft 5a as described above. The rotation shafts 5a can be rotated relative to each other around the rotation center O. During bending, the bending portion 7 fixed to the first jig 3a is in a linear state before and after rotation as shown in FIGS. The jigs 3a and 4a move relative to each other so as to cross an orthogonal line (imaginary line α) passing through the rotation center O, and the center thereof coincides with the bending center P of the material 2. The bending center P is offset by a predetermined amount from the rotation center O toward the rotation side of the material 2 so that the relative rotation angle of the jigs 3a and 4a is equal to the bending angle of the material 2. Arranged.

次に、本実施形態の曲げ加工装置１ａの詳細について、図２により説明する。図２に示す構造の場合、第一の治具３ａは、第一のブロック１１に、抑え部６と、曲げ部７とをそれぞれ固定してなる。このうちの第一のブロック１１は、図２（Ａ）（Ｂ）の上下方向上端部乃至中間部に存在する本体部１２と、該本体部１２の下端から下方に向けて突出し、本体部１２よりも板厚｛図２（Ｂ）の左右方向の厚さ｝が小さい突出部１３とからなる。該突出部１３は、前記本体部１２に対し前記素材２を配置する側と反対側｛図２（Ｂ）の右側｝の側面を凹ませることにより、該本体部１２よりも板厚を小さくしている。従って、前記突出部１３の前記素材２を配置する側｛図２（Ｂ）の左側｝の側面は、前記本体部１２の該素材２を配置する側の側面と同一平面上に存在する。 Next, details of the bending apparatus 1a of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In the case of the structure shown in FIG. 2, the first jig 3 a is formed by fixing the holding portion 6 and the bending portion 7 to the first block 11. Among these, the first block 11 protrudes downward from the lower end of the main body part 12 and the main body part 12 existing at the upper and lower ends in the vertical direction in FIGS. 2A and 2B, and the main body part 12.

Accordingly, the side surface of the protruding portion 13 on the side where the material 2 is arranged {the left side in FIG. 2B} is on the same plane as the side surface of the main body portion 12 where the material 2 is arranged.

又、前記突出部１３の回動側の側面｛図２（Ａ）の右側面｝は、前記本体部１２の回動側の側面よりも凹ませている。これと共に、前記突出部１３の下端面と回動側の側面との連続部１４は、部分円筒状に形成している。これにより、両治具３ａ、４ａの相対回動時に、前記突出部１３の該連続部１４が前記第二の治具４ａに接触することを防止している。 Further, the side surface {right side surface in FIG. 2 (A)} of the protruding portion 13 is recessed from the side surface of the main body portion 12 on the rotating side. At the same time, the continuous portion 14 between the lower end surface of the projecting portion 13 and the side surface on the rotating side is formed in a partial cylindrical shape.

Among these, the second block 22 protrudes upward from the upper end of the main body 23 and the main body 23 of the lower end in the vertical direction or the middle in FIGS. And a protrusion 24 having a small plate thickness (thickness in the left-right direction in FIG. 2B). The projecting portion 24 has a plate thickness smaller than that of the main body portion 23 by denting a side surface (left side in FIG. 2B) on which the material 2 is arranged with respect to the main body portion 23. The amount of the recess is substantially the same as the plate thickness of the protruding portion 13 of the first block 11.

又、前記抑え部６は、ボルト１５、１５により前記第二のブロック２２の片面｛図２（Ａ）の手前側の面、（Ｂ）の左側面｝に固定している。又、前記第二のブロック２２の回動側と反対側｛図２（Ａ）の左側、（Ｂ）の奥側｝に、位置決め板１６をボルト１５、１５により固定し、該位置決め板１６の側面を前記抑え部６の回動側と反対側の側縁部に当接させている。そして、前記第二のブロック２２の片面上で、該抑え部６の前記素材２に直交する方向｛図２（Ａ）の左右方向｝に関する位置決めを図っている。 The holding portion 6 is fixed to one side of the second block 22 (the front side in FIG. 2A, the left side in FIG. 2B) with bolts 15 and 15. Further, a positioning plate 16 is fixed by bolts 15 and 15 on the opposite side of the second block 22 from the rotation side (the left side in FIG. 2A, the back side in FIG. 2B). The side surface is brought into contact with the side edge portion of the holding portion 6 opposite to the rotating side. And the positioning regarding the direction {left-right direction of FIG. 2 (A)} orthogonal to the said raw material 2 of this holding | suppressing part 6 is aimed at on the single side | surface of said 2nd block 22.

In a state where the material 2 is disposed on the second jig 4 a, the material 2 is sandwiched between the holding surface 8 of the holding portion 6 and the holding surface 10 of the holding portion 9.

又、前記第二のブロック２２の片面の中間部に対向する位置には、前記素材２を挟んで抜け止め板１７を固定している。該抜け止め板１７は、前記素材２を跨ぐ様に配置され、両端部を前記第二のブロック２２に、前記抑え部６と保持部９とを介して、ボルト１５、１５により固定している。これにより、前記素材２を配置した状態で、該素材２を前記抜け止め板１７と第二のブロック２２とにより挟持して、該素材２が図２（Ａ）の表裏方向、図２（Ｂ）の左右方向に変位する事を防止している。 Further, a retaining plate 17 is fixed at a position facing the intermediate portion of one side of the second block 22 with the material 2 interposed therebetween. The retaining plate 17 is disposed so as to straddle the material 2, and both ends thereof are fixed to the second block 22 by bolts 15, 15 via the holding portion 6 and the holding portion 9. . Accordingly, the material 2 is sandwiched between the retaining plate 17 and the second block 22 in a state where the material 2 is arranged, and the material 2 is in the front-back direction of FIG. ) Is prevented from shifting in the left-right direction.

それぞれが上述のように構成される第一、第二の治具３ａ、４ａは、回動軸５ａを介して連結される。この為に、第一のブロック１１の突出部１３と、第二のブロック２２の突出部２４とを、それぞれの突出部１３、２４に形成した通孔２５、２５同士を整合させた状態で、図２に示すように重ね合わせ、該通孔２５、２５に前記回動軸５ａを嵌合する。この状態で、前記第一のブロック１１の前記素材２を配置する側の片面と、前記第二のブロック２２の同じく片面とを、同一平面状に位置させる。 The first and second jigs 3a and 4a, each configured as described above, are connected via a rotation shaft 5a. For this purpose, in a state in which the protruding portion 13 of the first block 11 and the protruding portion 24 of the second block 22 are aligned with the through holes 25, 25 formed in the respective protruding portions 13, 24, As shown in FIG. 2, the rotating shaft 5 a is fitted into the through holes 25 and 25. In this state, one side of the first block 11 on the side where the material 2 is arranged and the same one side of the second block 22 are positioned on the same plane.

又、前記回動軸５ａを、例えば、一方の通孔２５に対しては締まり嵌めと、他方の通孔２５に対しては隙間嵌めと、それぞれすることにより、前記第一、第二の治具３ａ、４ａが前記回動軸５ａの中心軸を中心として回動可能とする。この場合、隙間嵌めとした方に、回動軸５ａの抜け止め手段を設けることが好ましい。或は、前記回動軸５ａを、何れか一方の通孔２５に対しては締まり嵌めとし、他方の通孔２５には軸受を介して嵌合しても良い。何れにしても、前記第一、第二の治具３ａ、４ａ同士を、前記回動軸５ａの中心軸（回動中心Ｏ）を中心として、互いに相対的に回動可能とする。図２に示した構造の場合も、前述の図１に示した構造と同様に、前記曲げ部７が、回動の前後で、図２の（Ａ）（Ｂ）→（Ｃ）に示すように移動する。 Further, the first and second treatments can be performed by fitting the rotating shaft 5a to, for example, an interference fit with respect to one through hole 25 and a clearance fit with respect to the other through hole 25. The tools 3a and 4a are rotatable about the central axis of the rotation shaft 5a. In this case, it is preferable to provide means for preventing the rotation shaft 5a from being removed in the direction in which the gap is fitted. Alternatively, the rotary shaft 5a may be an interference fit with respect to any one of the through holes 25 and may be fitted into the other through hole 25 via a bearing. In any case, the first and second jigs 3a and 4a can be rotated relative to each other around the central axis (rotation center O) of the rotation shaft 5a. In the case of the structure shown in FIG. 2, as in the structure shown in FIG. 1, the bending portion 7 is as shown in FIGS. Move to.

曲げ加工を行う場合、前記第一、第二の治具３ａ、４ａに前記素材２を配置する。このように配置する場合には、例えば、次のように行う。先ず、前記両治具３ａ、４ａを構成する抜け止め板１７、１７の少なくとも片端部を、同じく第一、第二のブロック１１、２２から取り外す。そして、前記素材２を、前記第一の治具３ａを構成する抑え部６と曲げ部７との間、及び、前記第二の治具４ａを構成する抑え部６と保持部９との間に配置する。次いで、前記両治具３ａ、４ａを構成する前記抜け止め板１７、１７を前記第一、第二のブロック１１、２２に取り付ける。この結果、前記素材２が、該両ブロック１１、２２と前記抜け止め板１７、１７との間で挟持される。 When bending is performed, the material 2 is placed on the first and second jigs 3a and 4a. In the case of such arrangement, for example, the following is performed. First, at least one end of the retaining plates 17, 17 constituting both the jigs 3 a, 4 a is removed from the first and second blocks 11, 22. And the said raw material 2 is between the holding | suppressing part 6 and the holding | maintenance part 9 which comprise said 2nd jig | tool 4a, between the holding | suppressing part 6 and the bending part 7 which comprise said 1st jig | tool 3a. To place. Next, the retaining plates 17 and 17 constituting both the jigs 3a and 4a are attached to the first and second blocks 11 and 22, respectively. As a result, the material 2 is sandwiched between the blocks 11 and 22 and the retaining plates 17 and 17.

このように、素材２を両治具３ａ、４ａに配置した状態で、第一の治具３ａを第二の治具４ａに対し、回動軸５ａを中心として相対的に回動させる。この際、前記素材２の回動側と反対側の側面が、両治具３ａ、４ａを構成する抑え部６の抑え面８に当接し、該素材２が回動方向と反対方向に変位することを抑える。又、前記曲げ部７が、図２の（Ａ）（Ｂ）→（Ｃ）に示すように移動する。 In this way, the first jig 3a is rotated relative to the second jig 4a with the rotation shaft 5a as the center in a state where the material 2 is disposed on both the jigs 3a and 4a. At this time, the side surface of the material 2 opposite to the rotating side abuts against the holding surface 8 of the holding portion 6 constituting both jigs 3a and 4a, and the material 2 is displaced in the direction opposite to the rotating direction. Suppress it. The bending portion 7 moves as shown in FIGS. 2A, 2B, and 2C.

このように曲げ部７が移動する点について、図３により説明する。図３は、前記素材２を９０度曲げる場合の、曲げ加工の前後での該素材２と前記曲げ部７との位置関係を示している。加工前における該曲げ部７の位置は、前記素材２が直線状態にある場合、前記回動中心Ｏを通り、該素材２に直交する仮想線αの前記第一の治具３ａ側（図３の上側）に位置する。そして、曲げ加工時に、前記曲げ部７は、前記第一の治具３ａと共に、前記回動中心Ｏを中心とした回転方向に移動し、加工後には、前記仮想線αよりも前記第二の治具４ａ側（図３の下側）に位置する。この状態で、前記曲げ部７の曲げ円筒面１８の曲率中心は、前記素材２の曲げ中心Ｐに位置する。該曲げ中心Ｐは、前記回動中心Ｏから、該素材２の回動側に、所定量オフセットした位置となる。 The point that the bending portion 7 moves in this way will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 shows the positional relationship between the material 2 and the bending portion 7 before and after bending when the material 2 is bent 90 degrees. When the material 2 is in a straight state, the position of the bent portion 7 before processing passes through the rotation center O and is on the first jig 3a side of the virtual line α orthogonal to the material 2 (FIG. 3). Above). At the time of bending, the bending portion 7 moves together with the first jig 3a in the rotation direction around the rotation center O, and after the processing, the second portion is more than the virtual line α. Located on the jig 4a side (lower side in FIG. 3). In this state, the center of curvature of the bending cylindrical surface 18 of the bending portion 7 is located at the bending center P of the material 2. The bending center P is a position offset from the rotation center O by a predetermined amount on the rotation side of the material 2.

前記曲げ中心Ｐと回動中心Ｏとの関係について、図４により説明する。先ず、次の数値を規定する。前記素材２の曲げ角度をθ、前記素材２の厚さ（素材２が断面円形の場合は直径）をＷ、前記素材２の中立線Ｎから該素材２の曲げ加工後の内周面までの距離の前記Ｗに対する割合をａ、前記曲げ部７の曲げ円筒面１８の曲率半径をＲ、前記曲げ中心Ｐの前記回動中心Ｏに対する距離のうち、前記素材２の曲げ方向で該素材２を曲げる以前の状態が直線であるとした場合の直線方向と直交する方向（Ｘ方向、図４の左右方向）に関する距離をＸ、同じく、前記直線方向と平行な方向（Ｙ方向、図４の上下方向）に関する距離をＹ、とする。この場合に、前記曲げ中心Ｐは、前記回動中心Ｏに対し、
Ｘ＝（Ｒ＋Ｗ×ａ）×θ／２／ｔａｎ（θ／２）
Ｙ＝（Ｒ＋Ｗ×ａ）×θ／２
０＜θ≦π／２
を満たす位置に設置される。 The relationship between the bending center P and the rotation center O will be described with reference to FIG. First, the following numerical values are defined. The bending angle of the material 2 is θ, the thickness of the material 2 (the diameter when the material 2 is circular in cross section) is W, and the neutral line N of the material 2 to the inner peripheral surface after bending of the material 2 The ratio of the distance to W is a, the radius of curvature of the bending cylindrical surface 18 of the bending portion 7 is R, and the distance of the bending center P to the rotation center O is the bending direction of the material 2 in the bending direction of the material 2. When the state before bending is a straight line, the distance with respect to the direction orthogonal to the linear direction (X direction, left and right direction in FIG. 4) is X, and the direction parallel to the linear direction (Y direction, up and down direction in FIG. 4). Let Y be the distance with respect to (direction). In this case, the bending center P is relative to the rotation center O.
X = (R + W × a) × θ / 2 / tan (θ / 2)
Y = (R + W × a) × θ / 2
0 <θ ≦ π / 2
It is installed at a position that satisfies

上述の式について説明する。先ず、仮に、前述の図１５に示したように、曲げ中心Ｐと回動中心Ｏとを一致させた状態で前記素材２に曲げ加工を施した場合、前記中立線Ｎの位置で、該素材２が（Ｒ＋Ｗ×ａ）×θだけ、前記第一の治具３ａに対し移動する。即ち、該中立線Ｎの曲げ部分の円周長さ分、前記素材２が引き込まれる。従って、曲げ加工の際に該素材２が引き込まれないようにする為には、前記曲げ部７を曲げ加工の前後で該素材２に沿って前記（Ｒ＋Ｗ×ａ）×θだけ移動させれば良い。図４から明らかなように、前記曲げ部７のＸ方向の距離は、曲げ加工の前後では変化しない為、該曲げ部７はＹ方向に前記（Ｒ＋Ｗ×ａ）×θだけ移動させれば良い。又、該曲げ部７の移動は、前記回動中心Ｏを中心として行われる為、図４（Ｂ）から明らかなように、前記曲げ中心Ｐの回動中心ＯからのＹ方向の距離は、前記曲げ部７の移動距離の半分である（Ｒ＋Ｗ×ａ）×θ／２となる。 The above formula will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 15 described above, when the material 2 is bent in a state where the bending center P and the rotation center O coincide with each other, at the position of the neutral line N, the material 2 moves with respect to the first jig 3a by (R + W × a) × θ. That is, the material 2 is pulled in by the circumferential length of the bent portion of the neutral line N. Therefore, in order to prevent the material 2 from being pulled in during the bending process, the bending portion 7 is moved along the material 2 by (R + W × a) × θ before and after the bending process. good. As apparent from FIG. 4, since the distance in the X direction of the bent portion 7 does not change before and after the bending process, the bent portion 7 may be moved in the Y direction by the (R + W × a) × θ. . Further, since the movement of the bending portion 7 is performed around the rotation center O, as is clear from FIG. 4B, the distance in the Y direction of the bending center P from the rotation center O is It is (R + W × a) × θ / 2, which is half the moving distance of the bent portion 7.

このように、曲げ中心Ｐの回動中心ＯからのＹ方向の距離が分かれば、三角関数から、同じくＸ方向の距離（Ｒ＋Ｗ×ａ）×θ／２／ｔａｎ（θ／２）を導き出せる。尚、０＜θ≦π／２と規定したのは、本実施形態の場合、曲げ角度をπ／２よりも大きくした場合に、前記素材２の引き込みを防止できない為である。 Thus, if the distance in the Y direction from the rotation center O of the bending center P is known, the distance in the X direction (R + W × a) × θ / 2 / tan (θ / 2) can be similarly derived from the trigonometric function. The reason why 0 <θ ≦ π / 2 is defined is that, in the case of this embodiment, when the bending angle is larger than π / 2, the pull-in of the material 2 cannot be prevented.

上述したような本実施形態によると、前記素材２に曲げ加工を施す為に、前記曲げ部７を回動中心Ｏから所定量オフセットさせた状態で、前記第一、第二の治具３ａ、４ａを相対的に回動させるだけである為、曲げ加工の機構が簡単である。従って、正確な曲げ加工を容易に行える。 According to the present embodiment as described above, the first and second jigs 3a, 2a, 3b, with the bending portion 7 being offset from the rotation center O by a predetermined amount in order to bend the material 2. Since only the 4a is relatively rotated, the bending mechanism is simple. Accordingly, accurate bending can be easily performed.

又、曲げ加工時に、前記素材２が前記第一の治具３ａに対し変位しない。この点について、図５、６により説明する。図５、６では、素材２の曲げ加工前の第一の治具３ａの端部に位置する部分に印を付け、曲げ加工時の、該印の該第一の治具３ａに対する移動量を示している。又、図５は、回動中心Ｏと曲げ中心Ｐとを一致させて曲げ加工を行う場合を、図６は、本実施形態により曲げ加工を行う場合をそれぞれ示している。 Further, the material 2 is not displaced with respect to the first jig 3a during bending. This point will be described with reference to FIGS. In FIGS. 5 and 6, the portion of the material 2 that is positioned at the end of the first jig 3a before bending is marked, and the amount of movement of the mark relative to the first jig 3a during bending is indicated. Show. FIG. 5 shows a case where bending is performed with the rotation center O and the bending center P being coincident, and FIG. 6 shows a case where bending is performed according to the present embodiment.

図５に示す構造の場合、素材２が該曲げ部７の曲げ円筒面１８に倣うように曲げられる。この際、図５（Ａ）〜（Ｅ）に示すように、該曲げ円筒面１８に倣って変形する分、該素材２が第一の治具３ａに対し変位し、最終的に図５（Ｅ）に示す長さＬ分、該素材２が該第一の治具３ａに対し変位する。このＬは、前述した（Ｒ＋Ｗ×ａ）×θに相当する。このように、曲げ加工の際に、素材２が第一の治具３ａに対し移動した場合、該素材２と該第一の治具３ａを構成する抑え部６の抑え面８とが擦れ合い、該素材２に損傷が生じる可能性がある。尚、図５に示した構造の場合、前記素材２が第二の治具４ａに対し変位しないように固定した構造について示している。該素材２が該第二の治具４ａに対し変位可能であれば、該素材２が該第二の治具４ａに対しても変位する可能性がある。 In the case of the structure shown in FIG. 5, the material 2 is bent so as to follow the bending cylindrical surface 18 of the bending portion 7. At this time, as shown in FIGS. 5A to 5E, the material 2 is displaced relative to the first jig 3a by the amount of deformation following the bending cylindrical surface 18, and finally FIG. The material 2 is displaced relative to the first jig 3a by the length L shown in E). This L corresponds to the aforementioned (R + W × a) × θ. As described above, when the material 2 moves with respect to the first jig 3a during bending, the material 2 and the restraining surface 8 of the restraining portion 6 constituting the first jig 3a rub against each other. The material 2 may be damaged. In the case of the structure shown in FIG. 5, the structure in which the material 2 is fixed so as not to be displaced with respect to the second jig 4a is shown. If the material 2 can be displaced with respect to the second jig 4a, the material 2 may also be displaced with respect to the second jig 4a.

これに対して、図６に示す本実施形態の場合、図６（Ａ）〜（Ｅ）に示すように、曲げ部７が素材２と共に、回動中心Ｏを中心として回動する。そして、図６（Ｅ）に示すように、前記曲げ部７が、曲げ円筒面１８の曲率中心が曲げ中心Ｐと一致する位置に移動する。このような本実施形態の場合、曲げ中心Ｐを回動中心Ｏに対して、適切な距離オフセットさせている為、図６（Ｅ）に示すように、前記素材２が前記第一の治具３ａに対し移動しない。この結果、曲げ加工時に該素材２と第一の治具３ａとの間で摺れ合いが生じることを防止でき、該素材２に損傷が生じることを防止できる。又、該素材２が、電動機用コイルを構成する平角線の場合、曲げ加工の際に絶縁用のエナメル層を傷つけることがない為、良質な電動機用コイルを得られる。 On the other hand, in the case of the present embodiment shown in FIG. 6, as shown in FIGS. 6A to 6E, the bending portion 7 rotates around the rotation center O together with the material 2. Then, as shown in FIG. 6 (E), the bending portion 7 moves to a position where the center of curvature of the bending cylindrical surface 18 coincides with the bending center P. In this embodiment, since the bending center P is offset by an appropriate distance from the rotation center O, as shown in FIG. 6 (E), the material 2 is the first jig. It does not move relative to 3a. As a result, it is possible to prevent sliding between the material 2 and the first jig 3a during bending, and it is possible to prevent the material 2 from being damaged. In addition, when the material 2 is a rectangular wire constituting the motor coil, the insulating enamel layer is not damaged during bending, so that a high-quality motor coil can be obtained.

尚、上述の説明では、第一の治具３ａを第二の治具４ａに対し回動させた場合について説明したが、第一の治具３ａを固定とし、第二の治具４ａを該第一の治具３ａに対し回動させても良い。この場合、該第一の治具３ａを構成する曲げ部７の曲げ円筒面１８の曲率中心が曲げ中心となる。 In the above description, the first jig 3a is rotated with respect to the second jig 4a. However, the first jig 3a is fixed and the second jig 4a is fixed to the second jig 4a. You may rotate with respect to the 1st jig | tool 3a. In this case, the center of curvature of the bending cylindrical surface 18 of the bending portion 7 constituting the first jig 3a is the bending center.

＜第二の実施の形態＞
図７は、本発明の第二の実施の形態に係る曲げ加工装置１ｂを示すものであり、第一の実施の形態における曲げ部７の形状を変更したものである。以下に第一の実施の形態の構成と相違する部分を中心に説明する。 <Second Embodiment>
FIG. 7 shows a bending apparatus 1b according to the second embodiment of the present invention, in which the shape of the bending portion 7 in the first embodiment is changed. Below, it demonstrates centering on the part which is different from the structure of 1st embodiment.

A bent cylindrical surface 18a having a ¼ arc shape when viewed from the direction is formed. The bending cylindrical surface 18a is a partial cylindrical surface provided at the continuous portion between the side surface on the material 2 side of the bending portion 7a and the front end surface and whose central axis (axis passing through the center of curvature) passes in the front and back direction in FIG. It is. In the case of the present embodiment, the material 2 is sandwiched between the side surface of the rectangular portion 26 and the holding portion 6 constituting the first jig 3b. The positional relationship of the center of curvature of the bending cylindrical surface 18a with respect to the rotation center O of the first and second jigs 3b and 4a is the same as the configuration of the first embodiment described above.

本実施形態の場合、前記矩形部２６が、図１の保持部９に相当する。この結果、保持部と曲げ部とを単一の部材で構成できる為、図１に示した構造よりも部品点数を減らすことができ、より低コスト化を図れる。 In the present embodiment, the rectangular portion 26 corresponds to the holding portion 9 of FIG. As a result, since the holding part and the bending part can be configured by a single member, the number of parts can be reduced as compared with the structure shown in FIG. 1, and the cost can be further reduced.

The slider mechanism 32 includes a first rail member 34 disposed in the X direction, a second rail member 35 disposed in the Y direction, and a first rail member 34 movable on the first rail member 34. And a second movable element 37 that can move on the second rail member 35. The movable attachment member 33 is fixed to the first moving element 36. The first rail member 34 is fixed to the second moving element 37. The movable attachment member 33 is arranged so that the end jig 28b is attached in the Y direction. Thereby, the movable mounting member 33 is displaceable in the X direction and the Y direction while the end jig 28b is oriented in the Y direction.

又、前記固定取付部材３１と前記可動取付部材３３とに、それぞれ前記両端部治具２８ａ、２８ｂとを、Ｙ方向に向けて取り付ける。又、前記各中間治具２９ａ、２９ｂ、２９ｃのうち、真中に配置される中間治具２９ｂを回転盤３８により回転駆動可能としている。この為に、該回転盤３８上に径方向に形成した長孔３９に、前記中間治具２９ｂに設けた枢軸４０を変位可能に遊合している。前記回転盤３８の回転中心は、前記端部治具２８ａと前記中間治具２９ａとの回動中心に一致させている。尚、前記長孔３９を前記中間治具２９ｂ側に、前記枢軸４０を前記回転盤３８側にそれぞれ設けても良い。 The both end jigs 28a and 28b are attached to the fixed attachment member 31 and the movable attachment member 33, respectively, in the Y direction. Of the intermediate jigs 29 a, 29 b, 29 c, the intermediate jig 29 b arranged in the middle can be driven to rotate by a rotating plate 38. For this purpose, a pivot 40 provided in the intermediate jig 29b is loosely engaged with a long hole 39 formed in the radial direction on the rotating disk 38. The rotation center of the turntable 38 coincides with the rotation center of the end jig 28a and the intermediate jig 29a. The long hole 39 may be provided on the intermediate jig 29b side, and the pivot 40 may be provided on the rotating disk 38 side.

曲げ加工の際には、図９に示すように、前記各治具２８ａ、２８ｂ、２９ａ、２９ｂ、２９ｃに前記素材２を配置する。この状態から前記回転盤３８を回転させることにより、前記長孔３９と前記枢軸４０との係合に基づき、前記中間治具２９ｂが、前記端部治具２８ａと前記中間治具２９ａとの回動中心を中心として回転を開始する。そして、図１０〜１２に示すように、前記端部治具２８ｂがＹ方向に向いた状態を保ちつつ、前記各治具２８ａ、２８ｂ、２９ａ、２９ｂ、２９ｃが、それぞれ相対的に回動する。 At the time of bending, as shown in FIG. 9, the material 2 is placed in the jigs 28a, 28b, 29a, 29b, and 29c. By rotating the turntable 38 from this state, the intermediate jig 29b is rotated between the end jig 28a and the intermediate jig 29a based on the engagement between the elongated hole 39 and the pivot 40. Start rotating around the center of motion. As shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, the jigs 28a, 28b, 29a, 29b, and 29c rotate relatively while the end jig 28b is kept in the Y direction. .

この際、図１１→図１２に示すように、前記端部治具２８ｂに設けたローラ４１を、前記基台３０上に設けたＹ方向に対し傾斜した壁面４２に係合させ、該端部治具２８ｂを所定位置に、円滑に移動させるようにしている。そして、図１２に示すように、前記基台３０上で、前記固定取付部材３１に隣接する部分に設けたスットパ４３に、前記中間治具２９ｃが当接した状態で、前記回動が終了する。この結果、前記素材２の４個所に同時に９０度ずつ曲げ加工を施せる。尚、図９（Ｂ）に示すように、前記基台３０上に設けた別のストッパ４４、４４に、端部治具２８ｂと中間治具２９ｃとを当接させた状態で、前記各治具２８ａ、２８ｂ、２９ａ、２９ｂ、２９ｃが直線状に配置される。 At this time, as shown in FIG. 11 → FIG. 12, the roller 41 provided on the end jig 28b is engaged with the wall surface 42 inclined on the Y direction provided on the base 30, and the end portion The jig 28b is smoothly moved to a predetermined position. Then, as shown in FIG. 12, the rotation is completed in a state where the intermediate jig 29 c is in contact with a stopper 43 provided in a portion adjacent to the fixed mounting member 31 on the base 30. . As a result, the four portions of the material 2 can be bent simultaneously by 90 degrees. In addition, as shown in FIG. 9B, each of the jigs is fixed in a state where the end jig 28b and the intermediate jig 29c are brought into contact with other stoppers 44, 44 provided on the base 30. The tools 28a, 28b, 29a, 29b, 29c are arranged in a straight line.

上述のように構成され作用する本実施形態によると、素材２の４個所に同時に曲げ加工を施すことができる為、複雑な曲げ形状を精度良く、且つ、短時間で製造でき、製造コストの低減を図れる。即ち、前記曲げ加工機２７ａを構成する各曲げ加工装置１ａは、前述したように、曲げ加工時に、前記素材２の引き込みが生じることがない為、４個所に同時に曲げ加工を施しても、該素材２が引っ張られることがない。従って、該素材２の４個所に同時に曲げ加工を施しても、該素材２の寸法が変化することがなく、複雑な曲げ形状を精度良く、且つ、短時間で得られる。 According to the present embodiment configured and operated as described above, it is possible to simultaneously perform bending on the four portions of the material 2, so that a complicated bent shape can be manufactured with high accuracy and in a short time, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. Can be planned. That is, as described above, each bending apparatus 1a constituting the bending machine 27a does not cause the material 2 to be pulled in at the time of bending, so that even if bending is performed at four locations simultaneously, The material 2 is not pulled. Therefore, even if bending is simultaneously performed on the four portions of the material 2, the dimensions of the material 2 are not changed, and a complicated bending shape can be obtained with high accuracy and in a short time.

又、前記素材２に、上述のような曲げ加工を、例えば複数回繰り返すこと等により、図１３に示すような、波型のコイル素子４５が得られる。このような波型のコイル素子４５は、例えば、図１４に示すようなステータ４６に使用する。該ステータ４６について、簡単に説明する。ステータ４６は、電動機に使用されるもので、円筒状のステータコア４７の内周面複数個所に形成したスロット４８、４８内に、それぞれが前記コイル素子４５を複数重ねてなる、Ｕ相、Ｖ相、Ｗ相の３相からなるコイル４９を配設してなる。前記ステータ４６を構成する場合には、前記ステータコア４７内に配置する前に、前記コイル素子４５を複数重ねてコイル４９を形成し、挿入治具を用いて該コイル４９を前記ステータコア４７内に配置する場合が多いが、複数の前記コイル素子４５を該ステータコア４７内に配置した状態で、各コイル素子４５を溶接等により接合する場合もある。 Further, a wave-shaped coil element 45 as shown in FIG. 13 is obtained by repeating the bending process as described above on the material 2 a plurality of times, for example. Such a wave-shaped coil element 45 is used for a stator 46 as shown in FIG. 14, for example. The stator 46 will be briefly described. The stator 46 is used in an electric motor. A U-phase and a V-phase are formed by stacking a plurality of the coil elements 45 in slots 48 and 48 formed at a plurality of locations on the inner peripheral surface of a cylindrical stator core 47. The coil 49 which consists of three phases of W phase is arrange | positioned. In the case of configuring the stator 46, before arranging in the stator core 47, a plurality of the coil elements 45 are stacked to form a coil 49, and the coil 49 is arranged in the stator core 47 using an insertion jig. In many cases, the coil elements 45 may be joined by welding or the like in a state where the plurality of coil elements 45 are arranged in the stator core 47.

本実施形態によれば、コイル素子４５の折り曲げ部を多く形成できる為、該コイル素子４５の接合個所を少なくでき、製造コストの低減を図れる。又、接合個所を少なくできれば、各コイル素子４５同士の間隔を詰めることができ、前記コイル４９の小型化を図れる。 According to the present embodiment, since a large number of bent portions of the coil element 45 can be formed, the number of joint portions of the coil element 45 can be reduced and the manufacturing cost can be reduced. If the number of joints can be reduced, the distance between the coil elements 45 can be reduced, and the coil 49 can be reduced in size.
