BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention

The present disclosure relates to a soldering apparatus for a winding head of a stator of a vehicle drive motor or a generator and a soldering process.


2. Description of Related Art Including Information Disclosed Under 37 CFR 1.97 and 37 CFR 1.98

In the formation of a winding of a stator of a flat-wire motor, a formed hair-pin coil or single-sided coil is first inserted in a slot in a stator iron core, a bending die is then used to bend an opening end of the coil, and bent adjacent conductors are soldered to implement the electrical connection of the winding. Existing welding manners mainly include laser beam welding or argon arc welding. In both the methods, copper is molten at an instantaneous high temperature to form a welding spot, so as to implement the electrical connection of a winding. However, the prior art mainly has two disadvantages. First, a high temperature needs to be instantaneously generated to melt copper in laser beam welding or argon arc welding, and enamel films of enamel wires around the welding spot are prone to damage, resulting in reduced insulation reliability. Second, a large number of hair-pin coils or single-sided coils form a winding of a stator of a flat-wire motor, and a large number of welding spots are needed. In laser beam welding or argon arc welding, welding is usually performed at welding spots one by one, and the production efficiency of a flat-wire stator is severely affected.

The solder tray 5 is provided at the center of the support base 6. The solder tray 5 is provided with an annular solder slot 51. The solder tray is provided with a threaded fixing hole 52. The solder tray 5 is connected to the support base 6 by a screw passing through the threaded fixing hole 52. The solder spot isolation and limit plate 4 is provided on the solder tray 5. The shaft lever 3 is provided on the support base 6. The movable tray 2 is provided on the shaft lever 3. There are four shaft levers 3 respectively distributed at four corners of the support base 6. The shaft lever 3 is a smooth shaft lever. The movable tray 2 is located above the solder tray 5. The movable tray 2 moves vertically along the shaft lever 3. The 8-pole 48-slot flat-wire motor stator 1 is placed at the center of the movable tray 2, and a non-outlet terminal of a winding head of the stator extends below the movable tray 2. As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, iron core slot numbers of the 8-pole 48-slot flat-wire motor stator 1 are sequentially labeled as S1, S2, . . . , S47, and S48 in a clockwise direction. Each slot has eight conductors. Layer numbers of the conductors in the slot are sequentially named L1, L2, . . . , L7, and L8 in a radial direction away from the center of circle. A winding of the 8-pole 48-slot flat-wire motor stator 1 is formed by a plurality of single-sided coils. Two ends of the single-sided coils are soldered to implement the electrical connection of the winding. Solder spots at the non-outlet terminal of the winding head of the stator are evenly distributed in a circumferential direction. The solder spots are sequentially named H1, H2, H3, and H4 in the radial direction away from the center of circle. The conductor layers L1 and L2 in the slot form the solder spot H1, L3 and L4 form the solder spot H2, L5 and L6 form the solder spot H3, and L7 and L8 form the solder spot H4. The solder spot isolation and limit plate 4 is provided with threaded holes 41. Screws pass through the threaded holes 41 to fix the solder spot isolation and limit plate 4 on the solder tray 5. The solder spot isolation and limit plate 4 is provided with solder spot isolation and limit through holes 42. The solder spot isolation and limit through holes 42 are evenly distributed in a ring.
