ROTOR MANUFACTURING METHOD AND ROTOR MANUFACTURING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18372190 titled 'ROTOR MANUFACTURING METHOD AND ROTOR MANUFACTURING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The method described in the patent application involves manufacturing a rotor by preparing a sleeve with a tubular shape, expanding the inner diameter of the sleeve using liquid pressure, inserting the rotor body into the sleeve while applying pressure, and fixing the sleeve to the rotor body by contracting it.

  • Preparation of sleeve with tubular shape
  • Expansion of inner diameter of sleeve using liquid pressure
  • Insertion of rotor body into expanded sleeve
  • Fixing sleeve to rotor body by contracting it

Potential Applications

Original Abstract Submitted

A method for manufacturing a rotor including a rotor body, and a sleeve surrounding an outer peripheral portion of the rotor body and applying a pressurizing force toward an inner periphery to the rotor body, includes: preparing the sleeve having a tubular shape and having an inner diameter smaller than an outer diameter of the rotor body; expanding an inner diameter of the sleeve to be larger than an outer diameter of the rotor body, by applying a liquid pressure to an inner diameter portion of the sleeve; inserting the rotor body into the inner diameter portion of the sleeve while applying the liquid pressure; and fixing the sleeve to the rotor body by removing the liquid pressure and contracting the sleeve.
