  • Patent number: 8424792
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for winding wire coils in cores of dynamo electric machine using needles that are relatively movable with respect to the cores. Wire guides are provided that are also relatively movable with respect to the needle and the core so that the wire leaving the needle can be delivered to predetermined positions around the poles of the core to wind the wire coils. The wire guides are supported adjacent to the ends of the core by support means which have portions occupying positions of the needle trajectory during winding. The portion of the support means are movable as a function of the position occupied by the needle around the poles so that the needle can move without being obstructed. The arrangement enhances accuracy of guiding and positioning of the wire to form the wire coils and is suitable for compactly sized cores.

  • Patent number: 7934530
    Abstract: A filament winding apparatus efficiently performs a helical winding process in which the winding angle of the fiber bundle differs. A helical winding head includes two guide rings, adjacently arranged along an axis center of the mandrel, and guide tubes arranged at equal intervals along a circumferential direction of the guide rings. The guide rings are switchable between a first state in which phase positions of the guide tubes are matched and a second state in which the phase positions of the guide tubes are evenly shifted in the circumferential direction by a phase switching structure. Tube exits of the guide tubes are arranged close in the first state.

  • Publication number: 20100181413
    Abstract: An automatic annular winding machine includes a paying off unit, a sending wire group, a winding wire group, a sending material group, and a perpendicularly vibrating hopper. The wires are sent to the winding wire group by the sending wire group. A magnetic ring is put into the perpendicularly vibrating hopper and sent to a clamping holder by the sending material group. Then the wires are winded on the magnetic ring by a lead pin of the winding wire group. The winding wire group further includes a pull wire slanting wheel group comprising of a pull wire slanting wheel, a spring, and a regulatable suspending sliding block. Accordingly, the heads of the plurality twisted wires would not branch off during working, and the length of the heads is left after winding accomplishing.
