  • Publication number: 20140139067
    Abstract: A metal article, such as a stator core, is formed from a continuous strip of wound sheet stock material including winding slot cutouts. The winding slot cutouts are maintained at a substantially constant width throughout most of the radial extent of the winding slots in the finished article, except that one or more of the first and/or last wound layers (i.e., the radially innermost and radially outermost layers) may define winding slot cutouts that are wider than the other winding slot cutouts. Several radial layers may define cutout widths that are progressively expanded such that the resulting winding slot has terminal ends with edges that defining a stair-step profile that approximates a “radiused” or rounded edge. This rounded edge profile protects windings projecting radially into or outwardly from the winding slots near the edge of such slots.

  • Patent number: 8258671
    Abstract: A rotor assembly is assembled by providing an elongated rectangular strip of material having a first edge and a second edge defining a width, cutting the elongated rectangular strip to form a first patterned strip having a first side corresponding to the first edge, winding the first patterned strip portion around the perimeter of the rotor core such that the first edge is adjacent to the perimeter and the patterned strip portion forms a continuous laminated ring structure. Two laminated ring structures can be cut from a single strip, thereby reducing waste material and forming a strong structure.

  • Patent number: 8159105
    Abstract: When accommodating a cage stator coil in a stator core made up of distributed cores, an end side distributed core composing end side core at an end side in axial direction is made larger than a central side distributed core composing central side core. The cage stator coil is formed by compressing a central portion of an original cage stator coil. The end side segment core composing the end core is set at a central portion in an axial direction of the cage stator coil then the end side coil is moved to an end portion in the axial direction. The central side segment core composing the central core is set at the central portion in the axial direction of the cage stator coil thereafter.

  • Patent number: 8143752
    Abstract: An electric motor has a rotor (52) and a stator (60) equipped with salient poles on each of which is provided a winding (88 to 99), which windings together form a winding arrangement (85?), electrical connecting leads (88? to 99?) being provided between at least some of the windings. The stator (60) further has electrical connecting elements (108 to 119) that are arranged on at least one insulating carrier (102) and are equipped with contact elements (108? to 119?) and with mounting elements (108?? to 119??), which latter serve for electrical and mechanical connection to the connecting leads (88? to 99?). The use of a printed circuit board (140) formed with press-fit seats, to receive the contact elements, facilitates rapid, secure and automated connection of stator windings to other circuit parts, which is particularly useful in making low-voltage, high-current motors such as those used in mining.
