Title:

ELECTRICAL CONDUCTOR ALIGNING DEVICE AND ALIGNING METHOD

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/010642

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

Provided are an electrical conductor aligning device and aligning method 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 (1) is characterized by being provided with: holding sections (5) of which a plurality are provided in an annular shape, and that hold one of the legs of each coil element (10), which are approximately u-shaped; and a slide mechanism (7, 7A) and a cylinder mechanism (9, 9) that move the plurality of holding sections (5) in the radial direction. The aligning device (1) is further characterized by one leg of each coil element (10) being held by the plurality of holding sections, the plurality of coil elements (10) 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 (5) being moved inwards in the radial direction by means of the slide mechanism (7, 7A) and the cylinder mechanism (9, 9), thereby aligning the plurality of coil elements (10) in an annular shape while overlapping in the peripheral direction.
