Abstract
Abstract A rotary transformer includes rotor and stator cores arranged apart from each other. The rotor core is made of a plurality of U-shaped core plates which are laminated around a rotary shaft and supported by a pair of plates engaged with the opposite side ends of the rotor core and by an insulative band winding the bottom of the annular recess for receiving a rotor coil.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
205 words
A rotary transformer comprising: a cylindrical housing; a stator core including a plurality of iron blocks and an annular recess therein, each block being made of U-shaped, laminated iron plates each having the same and uniform thickness and arranged on the inner wall of said housing, and any two adjacent blocks being spaced from each other for a distance at the outer edges and contacted with each other at the inner edges; a rotary shaft; a rotor core including a plurality of iron blocks and an annular recess therein, each block being made of U-shaped, laminated iron plates each having the same and uniform thickness, arranged on the periphery of said rotary shaft, and having the outer end spaced from the inner surface of said stator core; a stator coil disposed in the recess of said stator core; a rotor coil disposed in the recess of said rotor core; first fastening means engaging the end face of every stator iron block to thereby fix the stator iron blocks and secure the stator core to the housing; and second fastening means engaging the end face of every rotor iron block to thereby fix the rotor iron blocks and secure the rotor core to the rotary shaft.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
205 words
A rotary transformer comprising: a cylindrical housing; a stator core including a plurality of iron blocks and an annular recess therein, each block being made of U-shaped, laminated iron plates each having the same and uniform thickness and arranged on the inner wall of said housing, and any two adjacent blocks being spaced from each other for a distance at the outer edges and contacted with each other at the inner edges; a rotary shaft; a rotor core including a plurality of iron blocks and an annular recess therein, each block being made of U-shaped, laminated iron plates each having the same and uniform thickness, arranged on the periphery of said rotary shaft, and having the outer end spaced from the inner surface of said stator core; a stator coil disposed in the recess of said stator core; a rotor coil disposed in the recess of said rotor core; first fastening means engaging the end face of every stator iron block to thereby fix the stator iron blocks and secure the stator core to the housing; and second fastening means engaging the end face of every rotor iron block to thereby fix the rotor iron blocks and secure the rotor core to the rotary shaft.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
A rotary transformer according to claim 1 which includes wedges inserted respectively in the spacings between said stator iron blocks.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
A rotary transformer according to claim 1 which includes wedges inserted respectively in the spacings between said rotor iron blocks.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
A rotary transformer according to claim 1 which includes wedges inserted respectively in the spacings between said stator iron blocks and in the spacings between said rotor iron blocks.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
24 words
A rotary transformer according to claim 3 which includes an insulative tape wound around the bottom surface of the recess in the rotor core.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
42 words
A rotary transformer according to claim 1 further comprising a sleeve disposed between said rotor core and said rotary shaft and adapted to fasten said rotary core and rotary shaft together, and wherein said second fastening means is secured to said sleeve.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
32 words
A rotary transformer according to claim 3 wherein there are formed air passages between said rotary shaft and said wedges inserted in said rotor iron blocks to thereby cool said rotor core.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
29 words
A rotary transformer according to claim 1 wherein said rotor core is spaced partially from said rotary shaft so that air passages are formed to cool the rotor core.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
37 words
A rotary transformer according to claim 7 wherein: said second fastening means is provided with a plurality of holes communicating with the air passages between said rotary shaft and said wedges inserted in said rotor iron blocks.
