A method comprising: a first process of placing a laminated rotor core in a preheating device to preheat the laminated core; a second process of removing the preheated laminated core from the preheating device and disposing the laminated core between upper and lower dies of a resin sealing apparatus; a third process of pressing the laminated core by the upper and lower dies and liquefying resin material in resin reservoir pots by heating; and a fourth process of ejecting the liquefied resin material from the pots into the magnet insertion holes by plungers inserted and moving vertically in the pots and thermally curing the resin material. The method improves efficiency of resin sealing the permanent magnets in the laminated core.

1. A method of producing a laminated rotor core being formed by a stack of a plurality of core pieces and having a plurality of magnet insertion holes for insertion of permanent magnets, the method comprising: a first process of disposing the laminated rotor core between upper and lower dies of a resin sealing apparatus after preheating of the laminated rotor core;a second process of pressing the laminated rotor core by the upper and lower dies and liquefying resin material in a plurality of resin reservoir pots by heating, the resin reservoir pots penetrating either one of the upper and lower dies so as to extend to a surface thereof that contacts the laminated rotor core; anda third process of ejecting the liquefied resin material from each of the resin reservoir pots by a plunger to fill corresponding one or more of the magnet insertion holes with the resin material and curing the resin material, the plunger being inserted and moving vertically in the each of the resin reservoir pots,wherein the resin material is overflowed from the magnet insertion holes and cured and is removed. 2. The method of producing a laminated rotor core as defined in claim 1, wherein the resin reservoir pots are formed in a region located radially inward or outward with respect to the magnet insertion holes so that the resin material is filled into the magnet insertion holes from the resin reservoir pots via resin passages formed in either one of the resin sealing apparatus and the laminated rotor core. 3. The method of producing a laminated rotor core as defined in claim 1, wherein the resin reservoir pots are formed in the lower die. 4. The method of producing a laminated rotor core as defined in claim 1, wherein the preheating of the laminated rotor core in the first process is performed with the permanent magnets inserted in the magnet insertion holes. 5. The method of producing a laminated rotor core as defined in claim 1, wherein the preheating of the laminated rotor core in the first process is performed without the permanent magnets inserted in the magnet insertion holes, and the permanent magnets are inserted in the magnet insertion holes after completion of the preheating of the laminated rotor core.
