  • Patent number: 10600563
    Abstract: A magnetically shielded current transformer is provided, which includes a magnetic core module including a core formed in a ring shape by winding plate shape ribbon a plurality of times, a bobbin configured to accommodate the core, and a coil configured to be wound along an outer circumferential surface of the bobbin; a shielding member which is configured to surround an outer circumferential surface and both side surfaces of the magnetic core module, includes through-holes at centers of the both side surfaces, and is formed of iron; and an outer case configured to protect the magnetic core module and the shielding member. Accordingly, a magnetic path is formed by an external magnetic field, which is applied from the outside, via the shielding member and thus the external magnetic field is prevented from being transferred to the magnetic core module, thereby stably blocking influences caused by the external magnetic field.

  • Publication number: 20090065623
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for winding a coil and to a method of using the device. The invention is particularly beneficial for winding electromagnetic coils around a closed magnetic circuit having no opening, for example in the form of a ring core. The device comprises a helicoidal channel, means for holding the ring core in a defined position within the helicoidal channel, and thrust means for thrusting the wire (10) toward the helicoidal channel. The method employing the device consists in: engaging a first end of the wire in the thrust means for thrusting the wire (10) toward the helicoidal channel; placing the ring core in its defined position; thrusting the wire into the helicoidal channel until the desired number of turns have been formed; releasing the ring core and disengaging the wire from the thrust means; and cutting a second end of the wire.

  • Patent number: 6685126
    Abstract: Armature structures and methods that provide very dense coil windings and afford very rapid winding methods at a relatively low cost. In addition the likelihood of damaging the already wound wires by contact with the winding nozzle is substantially eliminated. This is achieved by moving the winding needle in varying distances and directions away from the pole teeth to induce varying degrees of slack in the wire during the winding and when the needle is not in the slot between the pole teeth.

  • Patent number: 6557793
    Abstract: A toroidal core automatic winding apparatus has a winding ring positioned concentrically around a supply ring. The rings are C-shaped, by virtue of a through-slit on each ring. Wire wound on the supply ring is drawn out towards a toroidal core, via a wire guide on the winding ring. A ring rotation mechanism rotates the supply ring and winding ring in the same direction as that in which the supply ring was rotated when being loaded with the wire, but at mutually different speeds, to wind the wire around the toroidal core. The difference in the rotation amounts of the supply ring and winding ring equals the length of the wire that is wound on the toroidal core.
