Abstract
Abstract An oil-cooled generator (10) is provided having a housing (20) with a gas-filled interior and rotor (46,56) therein. A stator (44,58) associated with the rotor (46,56) is secured to a surrounding sleeve (70',70) by an interference fit and pins (72',72). A bolt (84',84) is secured in an opening (82',82) in the housing (20) to fix the sleeve (70',70) thereto, the housing opening (82',82) being open only to the housing interior. The housing (20) is provided with grooves (76) therein and a ring (78) is secured to the inner diameter of the housing (20) to secure those grooves (76) to define oil passages (74) therein.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
89 words
In an oil-cooled generator having a housing with a gas-filled interior and a rotor therein, means for supporting a stator association with the rotor comprising: a sleeve surrounding said stator; pins extending through said sleeve and into said stator; a bolt secured in a bore in said housing and fixing said sleeve thereto, said bore opening only to the housing interior; and a ring surrounding said sleeve and adapted to seal oil passages in said housing, said ring having an interference fit with both the housing and the sleeve.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
89 words
In an oil-cooled generator having a housing with a gas-filled interior and a rotor therein, means for supporting a stator association with the rotor comprising: a sleeve surrounding said stator; pins extending through said sleeve and into said stator; a bolt secured in a bore in said housing and fixing said sleeve thereto, said bore opening only to the housing interior; and a ring surrounding said sleeve and adapted to seal oil passages in said housing, said ring having an interference fit with both the housing and the sleeve.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
The generator of claim 1, wherein said sleeve has an interference fit with said stator.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
37 words
The generator of claim 1, wherein the generator is a three-phase generator having a permanent magnet generator, an exciter and a main generator, and said supporting means mounts stators of both the exciter and the main generator.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
106 words
A structure for mounting a stator in a housing of a gas-filled, oil-cooled generator, comprising: a sleeve surrounding said stator and having an interference fit therewith; a plurality of pins extending through said sleeve and into said stator; a bolt hole in said housing, said hole being open only to the housing interior and said housing including inwardly opening grooves; a bolt engaging a flange on said sleeve and secured in said bolt hole; and a ring surrounding said sleeve and adapted to seal said grooves to define oil passages in said housing, said ring having an interference fit with both the housing and the sleeve.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
106 words
A structure for mounting a stator in a housing of a gas-filled, oil-cooled generator, comprising: a sleeve surrounding said stator and having an interference fit therewith; a plurality of pins extending through said sleeve and into said stator; a bolt hole in said housing, said hole being open only to the housing interior and said housing including inwardly opening grooves; a bolt engaging a flange on said sleeve and secured in said bolt hole; and a ring surrounding said sleeve and adapted to seal said grooves to define oil passages in said housing, said ring having an interference fit with both the housing and the sleeve.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
36 words
The structure of claim 4, wherein the generator is a three-phase generator having a permanent magnet generator, an exciter and a main generator, and said structure mounts stators of both the exciter and the main generator.
