  • Patent number: 10693337
    Abstract: An annular conductor retaining device has a retention guide portion formed by blades arranged in a cylindrical shape with gaps therebetween. An annular conductor is inserted into two of the gaps across a plurality of the blades. The next annular conductor is inserted into the gaps to partially overlap the previously arranged annular conductor. This step is repeated so that the annular conductors are arranged in a spiral shape in the retention guide portion. The retention guide portion and the inner circumferential part of the core are fitted to each other, and the gaps and the slots of the core are made to coincide with each other. A pusher is inserted into the inner circumferential part of the retention guide portion so that the annular conductors are caught on the pusher, to move them in the axial direction into the slots of the core, and thus become the coils.

    Abstract: The present invention concerns solutions for disposing the wire leads of a wire coil along trajectories that have predetermined positional references relative to the dynamo-electric machine component. The present invention proposes to provide a wire lead manipulator that operates to dispose the wire lead by entering within extremely narrow gaps on a dynamo-electric machine component at high speed and with a lower risk of the wire lead manipulator colliding with the accessory parts of the component. Using the solutions of this invention, these achievements are possible for dynamo-electric machine components with very small spaces between accessory components that do not allow the passage of conventional wire lead manipulator apparatus.

  • Patent number: 6991194
    Abstract: An improved needle solution is provided for winding wire coils onto dynamo-electric machine components such as electric motor stators and armatures. The improved needle solution decreases the opportunity for collision between the needle apparatus and the machine component onto which wire coils are being wound and enables the winding of machine components with small interior hollows that may not allow conventional needle solutions to pass through. The improved needle solution further provides increased accuracy in wire coil stratification by stabilizing the stratification motion of the apparatus using guide structures that engage the needle arm. The needle solution further provides open access to the wire being fed through the apparatus for winding onto the machine component. Multiple needles may be accommodated by the apparatus to simultaneously wind multiple wire coils onto a machine component using the improved needle solution.
