Abstract

A stator transformer is composed of a concave metal ring formed by drawing a metal plate produced by pressing, and a planer metal plate formed by pressing. The concave metal ring has a bottom having a through hole in which a rotor is to be disposed, and a side formed upstanding at the bottom. The side has a circular or elliptic guide hole for guiding a lead wire connected to a stator transformer coil to the outside. The metal plate has the through hole in which the rotor is to be disposed. The concave metal ring has therein the stator transformer coil wound around a bobbin. The metal plate and the end of the side of the concave metal ring, which is formed upstanding at the bottom, are integrated with each other by, for example, welding or force-fitting.

Claims

1. A method of forming a core structure of a stator transformer having a stator transformer coil and a guide hole for guiding a lead wire connected to the stator transformer coil to the outside, comprising:

pressing a planar plate comprising a magnetic material having a thickness and a drawing property determined by the thickness to form a circular plate, said circular plate having a through hole in the center thereof in which a rotor is to be disposed and a guide hole for guiding a lead wire connected to the stator transformer coil to the outside; and

drawing a diameter portion of the circular plate to form a concave metal ring having a bottom and an outside diameter, the bottom having;

a diameter substantially identical to the outside diameter of the concave metal ring; and

a through hole in the center thereof and a side part formed in the upright condition thereof, such that the guide hole is disposed on said side part.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising disposing a stator transformer coil inside the concave metal ring.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising integrating the concave metal ring and the circular plate.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the concave metal ring and the circular plate are integrated by welding.

5. The method of claim 3, wherein the concave metal ring and the circular plate are integrated by force-fitting.

6. The method of claim 2, wherein the guide hole is formed when the concave metal ring is integrated with the circular plate.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the guide hole is formed before the concave metal ring is formed.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the metal plate comprises one of a nickel-iron alloy, an iron-cobalt alloy and a silicon steel.
