`(54) [Title of Invention] METHOD OF MANUFACTURING COOLING DEVICE
`
`
`(57) [Abstract]
`[Object] Provided is a method of manufacturing a cooling device
`that allows a cooling tube to be fitted onto a stator of a servo
`motor or the like, and molded in resin so that the contact area
`between the two parts can be maximized without creating a large
`gap between them.
`[Structure] A spiral groove having a same diameter as a flexible,
`highly thermally conductive and thin-walled cooling tube is
`formed on the outer periphery of the stator, and the cooling tube is
`placed in the groove in a spiral configuration, and the outer
`periphery of the stator and tube is molded in resin while fluid
`pressure is applied to the interior of the cooling tube.

`

`[Claims]
`[Claim 1] A method of manufacturing a cooling device,
`comprising: forming a spiral groove around an outer periphery of a
`stator; winding a flexible and highly thermally conductive cooling
`tube is wound into the groove, the groove having a same cross
`sectional shape as the cooling tube; and performing an insert
`molding of thermoplastic resin so as to integrally join the outer
`periphery of the stator with the cooling tube in a mold die
`assembly surrounding the outer periphery of the stator and the
`cooling tube while applying liquid or gaseous pressure into the
`cooling tube in such a manner that a wall of the cooling tube
`adequately expands.
`[Detailed Description of the Invention]
`[0001]
`[Technical Field] The present invention relates to a method of
`manufacturing a cooling device for a compact servo motor
`configured to perform a precise rotation control that can prevent
`servo control errors which could be caused by thermal expansion
`owing to an internal heat generation.
`[0002]
`[Prior Art] Conventionally, it has been practiced to fit a cooling
`tube onto an outer periphery of a stator by molding resin.
`[0003]
`[Task to be Accomplished by the Invention] However, the prior art
`is unable to provide a high cooling efficiency because the contract
`area between the stator and the cooling tube is limited, and the
`contact pressure between the stator and the cooling tube cannot be
`controlled. Once the cooling tube and the outer periphery of the
`stator are integrally molded in resin, the two parts are permanently
`joined to each other, and there is nothing that can be done to
`improve the cooling efficiency. In view of such problems of the
`prior art, a primary object of the present invention is to provide a
`method of manufacturing an ideal cooling device.
`[0004]
`[Means to Accomplish the Task] To accomplish such a task, the
`method of manufacturing a cooling device according to the present
`invention
`(1) maximizes the contact area between the stator outer periphery
`and the cooling tube, and
`(2) maximizes the contact pressure between the two parts by
`applying pressure to the interior of the cooling tube that contacts
`the stator outer periphery.
`More specifically, the present invention provides a method of
`manufacturing a cooling device, comprising the steps of: forming
`a spiral groove around an outer periphery of a stator; winding a
`flexible and highly thermally conductive cooling tube by placing
`the cooling tube in the groove, the groove having a same cross
`sectional shape as the cooling tube; and performing an insert
`molding of thermoplastic resin so as to integrally join the outer
`periphery of the stator with the cooling tube in a mold die
`assembly surrounding the outer periphery of the stator and the
`cooling tube while applying liquid or gaseous pressure into the
`cooling tube in such a manner that the wall of the cooling tube
`adequately expands.
`[0005]
`[Effect] Owing to such a structure of the method of manufacturing
`a cooling device according to the present invention, the contact
`area between the stator outer periphery and the cooling tube can be
`maximized, and no gap is created between the stator outer
`periphery and the cooling tube so that the Joule heat generated
`within the stator can be expelled away from the stator via the
`cooling tube in a highly efficient manner.

`Patent Application Kokai H07-322566
`
`[Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention is
`described in the following with reference to the appended
`drawings. Figure 1 is a sectional side view of a stator of a servo
`motor fitted with a cooling tube according to the embodiment of
`the present invention. Numeral 1 denotes a stator core formed by
`stacking laminates made of electromagnetic steel, numeral 2
`denotes a coil wound around the stator to conduct a field current,
`and numeral 3 denotes a cooling tube made of flexible and highly
`thermally conductive metallic material and having a circular cross
`section in the illustrated embodiment. Numeral 4 denotes molded
`thermoplastic resin. In all of the drawings, like numerals denote
`like or corresponding parts. Figure 2 is a side view showing a
`stator having a spiral groove for receiving the cooling tube 3
`formed on an outer periphery thereof according to the embodiment
`of the present invention. The outer periphery of the stator is
`formed with a groove having a same cross sectional shape as the
`cooling tube, and end parts of the coil 2 of the stator 1 can be seen
`on the respective end surfaces of the stator in the embodiment of
`the present invention. Figure 3 is a side view showing the cooling
`tube fitted into the spiral groove so as to be wound around the
`outer periphery of the stator 1 in a spiral configuration. The
`present invention is characterized in integrally molding the cooling
`tube and the stator outer periphery in resin. Figure 4 is a sectional
`side view illustrating the method of manufacturing a cooling
`device according to the embodiment of the present invention.
`More specifically, in Figure 4, K1a denotes a lower mold, and K2a
`denotes an upper mold. The lower mold K1a includes a gate K1b, a
`cooling pipe insertion portion K1c configured to form a hole for
`receiving the cooling tube in cooperation with a part K2c which
`will be discussed later, a mandrel K1d or a bolt fastening portion
`for positioning the stator 1 on the lower mold K1a. The upper mold
`K2a includes a sprue K2b, and a cooling pipe insertion portion K2c
`configured to form the hole for receiving the cooling tube in
`cooperation with the cooling pipe insertion portion K1c mentioned
`earlier. Following such preparatory steps, a fluid pressure
`consisting of a gaseous or liquid pressure is applied from an end B
`of the cooling tube 3. The other end of the cooling tube 3 is closed
`although not shown in the drawings. The cooling tube 3 may
`consist of a thin-walled cylindrical tube made of flexible and
`highly thermally conductive metallic material such as copper and
`brass. The cooling tube 3 is interposed between the stator 1 and the
`lower mold K1a, and the fluid pressure such as air pressure and
`liquid pressure is applied to the inside of the cooling tube 3 so that
`the cooling tube 3 is made conformal to the surface of the groove
`on the stator outer periphery, and is made to contact surface of the
`groove on the stator outer periphery with an adequate surface area
`without any gap. Resin is then filled into the upper mold K2a from
`a part A. The fluid pressure applied to the part B is maintained
`until the resin has been filled into the cavity of the mold, and
`solidified. Once the resin has solidified, the lower mold K1a and
`the upper mold K2a are separated from each other, and the stator
`integrally fitted with the cooling pipe by resin molding is obtained.
`[0007]
`[Effect of the Invention] As described above, according to the
`present invention, an adequate contact surface area can be ensured
`between the stator and the cooling tube, and a contact pressure can
`be applied to the cooling tube so that no gap is created between the
`cooling tube and the stator, and the stator can be cooled with a
`high efficiency.
