Laminated winding for electric machines

Claim 1

A laminated winding for generating magnetic poles of a magnetic field in electric machines, characterized in that the winding is composed of a multiple of stacked, electrically connected, mutually isolated circular patterns of plate material of the same shape, each having an insulating layer on one side and forming electrical conductors, wherein each pattern forms a wave winding and is composed of a plurality of radially arranged strips which are electrically connected at their ends by outer and inner circumferential strips of electrical conductor material alternatively located on the outer circumference and on the inner circumference, respectively, so that magnetic poles are generated upon passage of current through each wave winding, and wherein a first adjacent radial strip and a second adjacent radial strip in each pattern are elongated towards the center of said pattern, said second adjacent radial strip having an inner end, said first adjacent radial strip having one of said inner circumferential strips overlapping the inner end of said second adjacent radial strip, each of said magnetic poles having four cross-section sides and being defined at three of said four cross-section sides by two of said radially arranged strips and one of said circumferential strips, and wherein said stacked patterns are stacked mutually displaced one with respect to another such that the respective outer and inner circumferential strips of adjacent said stacked patterns together define each magnetic pole, each pair of adjacent ones of said stacked patterns being the mirror image of the other said stacked patterns, said first and second adjacent radial strips of said stacked patterns being arranged one on top of another in alternating fashion so that each said first adjacent radial strip has its inner circumferential strip adjacent to said inner end of at least one of said second adjacent radial strips of said stacked patterns, successive said stacked patterns being electrically connected in series such that, upon passage of current through all said stacked patterns, a plurality of magnetic poles of successively opposite polarity is produced.
