  • Patent number: 6745973
    Abstract: An apparatus for forming wire coils on a stator including a winding tool movable in reciprocating and rotating movement and including wire apertures for feeding wire into slots of a stator. A drifting tool is provided adjacent an end of the winding tool and includes drifting blades extending radially outwardly for positioning within the slots of the stator. The drifting tool is movable with the winding tool during the winding operation such that the drifting tool follows the winding tool in its reciprocating movement to provide for displacement of wire in the slots and improve the slot fill during the winding operation. Wire retaining structures are provided above and below the stator to intermittently engage and retain wire located at the ends of the stator. A wire feed mechanism is also provided including a wire feed pulley and a belt cooperating with the pulley to push wire toward the winding tool.

  • Patent number: 6695244
    Abstract: A winding tool for forming wire coils in a stator stack for a dynamoelectric machine including a base structure having a cylindrical wall and forming members for forming wire located in the stator stack during the winding operation. The winding tool includes wire apertures for feeding wire into the slots of a stator stack during a winding operation, and the forming members include forming blades for extending into the slots of the stator stack to push the wires positioned therein radially outwardly. In addition, end formers are provided at longitudinal ends of the forming blades for extending across the end faces of the stator stack to position the end turns of the wire coils radially outwardly. An actuator structure is provided for actuating the forming blades and end formers simultaneously at predetermined times throughout a winding operation to thereby form the wire coils radially outwardly and create greater slot fill densities.

  • Patent number: 5931993
    Abstract: A black uniform coating with excellent adhesion, bend flexibility, and corrosion resistant characteristics can be formed on metals such as aluminum and its alloys, zinc and its alloys, and copper and its alloys such as brass, with the deposition of zinc and antimony compounds through a base solution and sealed with a water base sealer. The water based sealer comprises an organic film forming resin, an organic solvent, and emulsifying agents and an alkyd resin.

  • Patent number: 5731648
    Abstract: One aspect of the invention is a rotor core for use with a permanent ring magnet in an electric motor which serves to minimize and evenly distribute thermal stresses in the rotor without undermining the efficiency of the motor by distorting the flux return to the ring magnet. According to one embodiment, the rotor core comprises a plurality of laminated plates. Each of the plates has a rim with a circular outer perimeter, a hub concentric with the outer perimeter of the rim, and first and second sets of curved spokes coupling the hub to the rim. Each spoke of the first set of curved spokes is concave in a clockwise direction and each spoke of the second set of curved spokes is concave in a counter-clockwise direction. According to another embodiment, the rotor core comprises a plurality of laminated structurally-identical perforated plates having obverse and reverse sides such that the obverse side of each plate faces the obverse side of an adjacent plate.
