ROTOR MANUFACTURING METHOD AND ROTOR MANUFACTURING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240113605 titled 'ROTOR MANUFACTURING METHOD AND ROTOR MANUFACTURING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for manufacturing a rotor with a sleeve surrounding an outer peripheral portion of the rotor body and applying a pressurizing force towards the inner periphery of the rotor body.
- The sleeve is prepared with a tubular shape and an inner diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the rotor body.
- The inner diameter of the sleeve is expanded by applying liquid pressure to accommodate the rotor body.
- The rotor body is inserted into the sleeve while the liquid pressure is applied.
- The sleeve is fixed to the rotor body by removing the liquid pressure and contracting the sleeve.
Potential Applications
This technology could be used in the manufacturing of various types of rotors for machinery and equipment where a sleeve is required to be securely attached to the rotor body.
Problems Solved
This method solves the problem of securely attaching a sleeve to a rotor body without the need for complex machinery or processes.
Benefits
The benefits of this method include a simple and efficient way to manufacture rotors with sleeves, reducing production time and costs.
Potential Commercial Applications
The potential commercial applications of this technology could be in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing where rotors are used in various applications.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be methods involving the use of heat or mechanical force to attach sleeves to rotor bodies. However, this method using liquid pressure to expand and contract the sleeve may offer a more efficient and cost-effective solution.
Unanswered Questions

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.
