The invention provides a method for converting the work position of a double work position electricity core winding machine, comprising the steps: a first needle winding mechanism moves from a winding work position to a discharge work position; the first needle winding mechanism moves from the discharge work position to the winding work position; a second needle winding mechanism moves from the winding work position to the discharge work position, and the second needle winding mechanism moves from the discharge work position to the winding work position; the first needle winding mechanism horizontally returns at a certain distance from the discharge work position and moves to the winding work position with a mode which is not mutually blocked with the step that the second needle winding mechanism moves from the discharge work position to the winding work position; and the second needle winding mechanism horizontally returns at a certain distance from the discharge work position and moves to the winding work position with a mode which is not mutually blocked with the step that the first needle winding mechanism moves from the discharge work position to the winding work position. Byadopting the method, the electricity core can not turn when the work position of the double work position electricity core winding machine is converted, thereby preventing from waggling or loose winding, greatly reducing the probability for wrinkling or breaking pole pieces, and improving the quality of the electricity core.
