  • Publication number: 20140252908
    Abstract: The disclosed stator or rotor has a distributed wave winding, in which the wires are associated in pairs lying with straight segments in the same slots. Head portions of two successive straight segments of each wire of a pair protrude from opposite ends of slots. For forming two wire groups, a plurality of coil windings are simultaneously created by winding up n parallel wires with intermediate spacing onto a striplike former that is rotatable about its longitudinal axis. From each of the parallel wires one straight segment and one end turn are doubled by being bent over with the wire length of a head portion, and then head portions are formed and the wires interlaced. Finally, the two wire groups are wound onto one another and thereby intertwined with one another, and then introduced as an entire intertwined wave winding strand into the stator or rotor slots.

  • Patent number: 8020282
    Abstract: An apparatus for producing a coil winding for stators is described, in which each coil turn rests, with one fillet (14) each, in two stator slots, and the two fillets (14) are joined by a head portion (16). A plurality of coil turns are made simultaneously by winding up n parallel wires (10) with intermediate spacing onto a rotatable former (20). To obtain small winding heads, alternatingly in a work step A, one fillet (14) and the wire length of one head portion (16) are made from each of the n parallel wires (10) on the former (20). Then in a work step B, the resultant fillets (14) together with the adjoining first end of the respective associated head portions (16), and the wire guide together with the second end of these head portions (16), are displaced relative to one another along the former (20) by n times the intermediate spacing of the wires (10).

  • Patent number: 7703192
    Abstract: A method for producing a pattern of coil windings in which each coil turn has one fillet each in two slots, and the two fillets are joined by a head portion. A plurality of coil turns are made simultaneously by winding n parallel wires with intermediate spacing onto a rotatable former. To obtain small winding heads, there is a repeating of: a laying work step where one fillet and the wire length of one head portion are laid on the former; and a displacing work step where the resultant fillets together with the adjoining first end of the respective associated head portions, and the wire guide together with the second end of these head portions, are displaced relative to one another along the former by n times the intermediate spacing of the wires. Next, the winding is removed from the former, and pressed flat.

After work steps A and B have been repeated multiple times, the fillets (14) for the last n stator slots are then also made on the former (20).

  • Patent number: 7385331
    Abstract: The stator for electrical machines has stator slots that are open radially inward, at least some of which contain coils made from round wire and have side walls (10, 12) of equal length that each extend parallel to their center radial plane. To attain an especially high fill factor, the entrances (16) of the stator slots have a width, measured transversely to their center radial plane, that is slightly greater than the diameter d of the round wire (18). A further condition is that the width of the stator slots, measured between the parallel side walls (10, 12), amounts to (1+cos 30°)d, and the radially outer slot wall (14) forms angles of 60° and 120°, respectively, with each of the two side walls (10, 12).

  • Patent number: 7281312
    Abstract: A method and apparatus in which wave windings, cut from a continuously formed wave winding band, are brought with a defined number of waves essentially tangentially to a rotor or stator lamination packet or a rotorlike transfer tool having radially outwardly open slots. During a rotary motion of the lamination packet or transfer tool and a substantially tangential relative motion, at a speed corresponding to the circumferential speed of the rotary motion, the straight portions of the bandlike wave windings are pressed into the slots.

  • Patent number: 7185414
    Abstract: An apparatus in which wave windings with a defined number of waves are cut from a continuously formed wave winding band. In forming with a wire guide, the wave winding band is laid in alternation around the outer side faces of forming protrusions, offset from one another on the circumference of two disks. The two disks can be driven to rotate. In the angular range in which the wave winding band is driven on the circumference of the disks or roller, the spacing between one forming protrusion of one row and the next forming protrusion in the other row is increased by such an amount that the outer side faces of the forming protrusions form the winding heads of the wave windings. The wave windings cut from the wave winding band are introduced into radially outwardly open slots of a lamination packet or a rotorlike transfer tool.

  • Patent number: 6477762
    Abstract: In the described device a wire (18), which is fed in by a wire guide (20), is wound on a shaping body (10) provided with recesses (16), of a rotatably driveable template (10, 12) and, in the course of the rotation of the latter, is cyclically pushed into the recesses (16) by radially movable outer shaping elements (12). Subsequently the wave-shaped wire windings are transferred into longitudinal slits of a coil receiver (34), which is positioned axially in front of the shaping body (10) and is essentially maintained fixed against relative rotation during the winding movement. In order to obtain complete wave windings over the circumference in a simple manner, it is provided that the shaping of the end of the last winding of a wave winding is finished in the allocated recess (16) by means of an additional inward movement of at least one of the shaping elements (12) in a different angle of rotation position of the template (10, 12) than during the cyclically performed shaping movement.
