Abstract

Abstract The stator of a three phase AC generator is wound automatically. A first set of partial windings consitutes the first winding. Each of the partial windings has at least one turn. The first partial winding is wound in slots 1 and 4 in the clockwise direction, the second in slots 7 and 4 in the counterclockwise direction, etc. Before the second partial winding of the first set is wound, the first partial windings of the second and third phase are wound in slots 2 and 5 and 3 and 6, respectively. Similarly, after the counterclockwise winding in slots 4 and 7, the second partial windings of the second and third phase are wound in the counterclockwise direction in slots 8 and 5 and 9 and 6, respectively. This procedure is repeated until all slots are filled. If the same winding profile is to be maintained throughout, the part of the first partial windings associated with the first, second and third phase to be inserted in slots 1, 2, 3, respectively, is left out of the slots until the last partial winding of the phases has been wound. The loose ends of the first partial windings are then pushed into the respective slots. After the partial windings are connected to each other to form the first, second and third main windings, the winding starts and the winding ends of these main windings are connected together to form the desired electrical configuration. In this connection, the start and end of the second winding are electrically interchanged, to create the required 120° phase difference between all the windings.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 240 words
Method for winding a first, second and third (40,41,42) winding, respectively, associated with the first, second and third phase of a three-phase a-c generator on a stator having a plurality of slots, comprising the steps of winding a first partial winding (43) of a first phase, forming part of said first winding (40), in a first direction (clockwise) in a first and fourth slot (1, 4) of the stator, leaving empty second and third intervening slots (2, 3); then winding a first partial winding (44) of a second phase and forming part of the second winding (41) in the first direction in the second and a fifth slot (2, 5); then winding a first partial winding (45) of a third phase and forming part of the third winding (42) in the first direction in the third slot (3) and a sixth slot (6); then continuing to wind the first winding (40) by winding, in opposite direction (counterclockwise), and starting from the seventh slot back to the fourth slot, the second partial winding (46) of said first winding (40); then continuing, in like manner, winding the second partial windings of each of the second and third windings (41, 42) in said opposite direction, backwardly, from respectively the eighth and ninth slots to the fifth and sixth slots; and connecting the winding starts and winding ends of said first, second and third windings to each other to form a prdetermined three-phase configuration.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 240 words
Method for winding a first, second and third (40,41,42) winding, respectively, associated with the first, second and third phase of a three-phase a-c generator on a stator having a plurality of slots, comprising the steps of winding a first partial winding (43) of a first phase, forming part of said first winding (40), in a first direction (clockwise) in a first and fourth slot (1, 4) of the stator, leaving empty second and third intervening slots (2, 3); then winding a first partial winding (44) of a second phase and forming part of the second winding (41) in the first direction in the second and a fifth slot (2, 5); then winding a first partial winding (45) of a third phase and forming part of the third winding (42) in the first direction in the third slot (3) and a sixth slot (6); then continuing to wind the first winding (40) by winding, in opposite direction (counterclockwise), and starting from the seventh slot back to the fourth slot, the second partial winding (46) of said first winding (40); then continuing, in like manner, winding the second partial windings of each of the second and third windings (41, 42) in said opposite direction, backwardly, from respectively the eighth and ninth slots to the fifth and sixth slots; and connecting the winding starts and winding ends of said first, second and third windings to each other to form a prdetermined three-phase configuration.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 47 words
Method according to claim 1, wherein said step of connecting said winding starts and ends of said first, second and third windings comprises connecting the winding end (Z) of said second winding (41) to the winding starts (X, Y) of said first and third windings (40, 42).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 36 words
Method according to claim 1, wherein each of the last partial windings of the respective first, second and third windings is placed underneath one of said first partial windings of the first, second and third windings.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 73 words
Method according to claim 1, wherein each of said first partial windings includes a first and second leg, to be inserted, respectively, into a first, lower-numbered and a second, higher-numbered slot; and wherein the first leg is pushed into the first, lower-numbered slot only after winding of the last partial winding has been completed to provide for overlap of said first leg of the first partial winding over the last-wound last partial winding.
