Publication number: 20040173710Abstract: The present invention concerns forming wire coils by simultaneously winding a plurality of wires onto a dynamo-electric machine component. In order to maximize the amount of wire that can be placed in the spacings of the dynamo-electric machine component, the turns of the wire coil must be regularly disposed without twisting the plurality of wires onto each other. Current winding apparatus may allow certain portions of the wire turns to unevenly accumulate and locally bulge outward from the collection of wire coils. Such bulges, especially in consideration of the limited spacings available on an dynamo-electric machine component, may interfere with or access to the spacings by a wire dispensing member during the winding process. The present invention proposes to perform multiple-wire winding processes that avoid wire twisting and improper disposition of the wires. Further, the present invention proposes to improve the ability of the wire dispensing member to traverse the spacings on the component.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2003Publication date: September 9, 2004Inventors: Gianfranco Stratico, Antonio Lumini

The N sets of segments are wound with a single continuous length of wire for each set. Each of the N sets of segments is wound separately from the remaining sets of segments and then combined in the common circular arrangement with the remaining sets of segments to form the wound member.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 1999Publication date: January 31, 2002Inventors: VADIM SHTEYNBERG, HUCK A.

Patent number: 6325318Abstract: In a dynamo-electric machine, a stator having a terminal board with at least one pair of slots located along its inside circumference, includes at least one pair of coil holders. Each coil holder is cantilevered from the terminal board at the ends of a pair of slots, and a wire guide is positioned on each coil holder. A wire depositing needle and the stator are placed in relative motion, which causes the guide to support the wire as it is transported along its surface. Coils of wire are created as each pair of slots is wound. The invention will typically be used to form multiple coil windings on a single stator.Type: GrantFiled: January 7, 2000Date of Patent: December 4, 2001Assignee: Axis USA, Inc.Inventors: Gianfranco Stratico, Pasquale Ciarlitto

Patent number: 6067702Abstract: Stator coils having lead wires inserted into temporary wire clamps (36) at a winding station are electrically tested before the coil lead wires are removed from the temporary clamps. In one aspect, the clamps each include a jaw (54) formed with a wire-engaging surface (88) which scrapes the insulating coating off from a lead wire as it is inserted therein. The clamps are electrically connected to terminal members (90) which are engageable by electrical test terminal members (100). In a modification, the clamps include a wire-scraping jaw having, in addition to a body formed with a sharpened or knife edge, a shield having wire-guiding surfaces engageable by a lead wire being inserted into the clamp. The wire-guiding surfaces are located adjacent the knife edge and are so positioned that the depth of the insulated wire scraped or cut away by the knife edge is only a few thousandths of an inch.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 1997Date of Patent: May 30, 2000Assignee: Globe Products Inc.Inventors: Gary E. Clemenz, Raymond S. Furlong, Lawrence E. Newman

Patent number: 5794867Abstract: At each work station of a textile machine producing wound bobbins, the yarn package on which yarn is wound is driven by a friction roller. In contrast to the conventional driving of the roller by a gear motor flanged to the housing of the work station, which has the disadvantage of requiring space and difficulty in removing and replacing the friction roller for maintenance, the present invention simplifies the friction roller drive by configuring the housing of the work station for the direct reception of the stator windings of the drive motor for the friction roller and mounting the friction roller and the rotor of the drive motor together on a continuous shaft.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 1994Date of Patent: August 18, 1998Assignee: W.

Patent number: 5760505Abstract: An apparatus and method is provided for introducing slack into a coil wire prior to termination. A stator having a volume of coil windings has a terminal board mounted thereon. Means for introducing slack in the coil wire includes a terminal receiving cavity located in the terminal board. A portion of the coil wire is passed across the cavity and a terminal is inserted therein, thereby crimpingly engaging the wire. The wire is simultaneously passed over a spacer which extends laterally across the cavity. When the spacer is subsequently removed a loop of slack remains in the wire.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 1996Date of Patent: June 2, 1998Assignee: Ametek, Inc.Inventors: Adnan M. Farou, Robert L.

Patent number: 5740973Abstract: A method for cross-winding of thread-like or band-like winding material on winders is described for the production of bobbins wound up in cross-winding with random winding or precision cross winding. The winding material is traversed by a slit drum (1) comprising a slit (5) and is wound up to a bobbin (18). The winding material is traversed by a slit drum (1) comprising at least three parts (2, 3, 2) forming the slit (5) and at least one crossing point (6). The winding material entering the slit drum (1) is guided by an auxiliary apparatus (10), which forces an additional motion to the winding material while passing each crossing point (6) of the slit (5) of the slit drum (1) to maintain the corresponding traversing direction (8).Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 1996Date of Patent: April 21, 1998Assignee: Georg Sahm GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 5664317Abstract: Electric motor stators can have coils wound on their poles which coils have more turns than the poles could normally support by augmenting the pole with additional structures to support the added coil turns. The additional structures can be only temporarily associated with the stator, e.g., by adding them to the winding shrouds which are customarily applied to the stator during winding. Alternatively these additional structures can be permanent but non-magnetic portion of the stator, e.g., by adding them to the terminal board members of the stator.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 1996Date of Patent: September 9, 1997Assignee: Axis USA, Inc.Inventors: Massimo Ponzio, Massimo Lombardi

Patent number: 5607115Abstract: In order to simplify the changing of a traversing mechanism depending on the yarn conditions, an insertable and exchangeable traversing device is provided in a bobbin winding machine. The traversing mechanism either guides the yarn by way of a so-called cam cylinder traversing device or by way of a so-called wing traversing device which guides the yarn through rotation of traversing wings. The traversing device is arranged substantially opposite a contact roller so that a yarn to be wound up is guided to-and-fro by way of a thread guide in accordance with a stroke length and is deposited on a yarn package via the contact roller. The wing traversing device includes upper and lower wings, with the upper wings being held in a stationary manner in an overall base plate, while the lower wings are held rotatably in unit base plates.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 1994Date of Patent: March 4, 1997Assignee: Maschinenfabrik Rieter AGInventor: Peter Frech
