Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
295 words
A device for manufacturing coiled magnetic cores for electrical machines by bending a continuous band edgewise into a coil and wherein said band is provided with recesses, comprising a bed; means for tensioning said band mounted on said bed; a straight guide and an arched guide for said band mounted on said bed; a shaping element interposed between said guides; a rotary disc, mounted on a shaft and having an end face or side surface, received in a recess provided in said bed, a portion of the end face of said rotary disc facing said arched guide; said shaping element being a die having a wedge-shaped head with a working edge to produce a maximum elongation of said band at one edge forming the outer diameter of said coil; said working edge of said head extending radially and at an angle to said side surface of said rotary disc for forming a coil of a preset shape having at least one angled side surface formed by a series of elementary portions in the zone of the edge with maximum elongation alternate with portions preserving the original thickness of said band; uniformly spaced fingers mounted on said rotary disc and equal to the number of recesses in a single complete stator turn of said electrical machine; a cam secured to said bed for setting said fingers in reciprocating motion; for engagement with said band recesses two guide channels; for said band the first of said guide channels being straight and formed by said bed and said straight guide; the second guide channel being arched and formed by a portion of said rotary disc and said arched guide; and drive means for driving said shaping member in reciprocating motion, and for driving said shaft carrying said disc.

A device for manufacturing coiled magnetic cores for electrical machines by bending a continuous band edgewise into a coil and wherein said band is provided with recesses, comprising a bed; means for tensioning said band mounted on said bed; a straight guide and an arched guide for said band mounted on said bed; a shaping element interposed between said guides; a rotary disc, mounted on a shaft and having an end face or side surface, received in a recess provided in said bed, a portion of the end face of said rotary disc facing said arched guide; said shaping element being a die having a wedge-shaped head with a working edge to produce a maximum elongation of said band at one edge forming the outer diameter of said coil; said working edge of said head extending radially and at an angle to said side surface of said rotary disc for forming a coil of a preset shape having at least one angled side surface formed by a series of elementary portions in the zone of the edge with maximum elongation alternate with portions preserving the original thickness of said band; uniformly spaced fingers mounted on said rotary disc and equal to the number of recesses in a single complete stator turn of said electrical machine; a cam secured to said bed for setting said fingers in reciprocating motion; for engagement with said band recesses two guide channels; for said band the first of said guide channels being straight and formed by said bed and said straight guide; the second guide channel being arched and formed by a portion of said rotary disc and said arched guide; and drive means for driving said shaping member in reciprocating motion, and for driving said shaft carrying said disc.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The device according to claim 1, wherein said drive means comprise separate drives for said shaping member and said shaft.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
The device according to claim 2, wherein the frequency of the reciprocating motion of said shaping member is variable so that the frequency at which said band is deformed can be controlled.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
The device according to claim 2, wherein the speed of said band is adjustable by varying the rotational speed of said disc.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
The device according to claim 1, wherein said arched guide and said second guide channel covers an arc of about 180°.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
17 words
The device according to claim 1, including a cutter for separating said coil from said rotary disc.
