ELECTRICAL CONDUCTOR ALIGNING DEVICE AND ALIGNING METHOD

摘要

An electrical conductor aligning device that can, without mutual interference, easily, and in a short period of time, align a plurality of electrical conductors in an annular shape while overlapping in the peripheral direction. The coil element aligning device includes: holding sections, a slide mechanism and a cylinder mechanism. One leg of each coil element is held by the plurality of holding sections, the plurality of coil elements being aligned in an annular shape at a spacing such that there is no overlapping in the peripheral direction, and then the plurality of holding sections being moved inwards in the radial direction by the slide mechanism and the cylinder mechanism, thereby aligning the plurality of coil elements in an annular shape while overlapping in the peripheral direction.

1. An electrical conductor aligning device that aligns a plurality of substantially U-shaped electrical conductors in an annular shape while overlapping in a circumferential direction, the device comprising:
a plurality of holding sections provided in an annular shape that holds one leg of each of the electrical conductors; and a moving part that causes the plurality of holding sections to move in a radial direction, wherein the plurality of electrical conductors is aligned in an annular shape while overlapping in the circumferential direction, by aligning the plurality of electrical conductors in an annular shape at intervals not overlapping in the circumferential direction by way of the plurality of holding sections holding one leg of each of the electrical conductors, and then causing the plurality of the holding sections to move substantially at the same time to an inner side in the radial direction by way of the moving part.
