Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

This invention relates to an improved armature for a four pole wave wound direct current machine and also to a method for winding the armature for such a machine. A plural turn winding is free formed or wound in place to substantially a final shape with two ends spaced for connection to commutator segments spaced substantially 180° apart on the armature and with at least four sides defining at least two open turns.
The winding sides are spaced for engaging slots in the armature core which are spaced substantially 90° apart. The winding is initially free formed and the turns are separated as necessary to insert the winding on the core and to position the winding sides in their assigned slots in the armature core.

Description

, 1 BACKGROU~ID OF THE INVE~TIO~I
2 ~ This invention relates to electric generator and
3 '~ motor structures and more particularly to an
4 `! improved four pole wave wound direct current rotary ~achine
5 ~I having plural turn open wind:ings on an armature.
6 ~i For four pole wave wound direct current motors
7 ! operated at relatively low speeds and/or relatively
8 ¦I high voltages, there i5 a tendency for excessive currents
9 ¦l to flow in armature windings having only a single turn- One
10 1 common method for limiting the currents in the
11 ¦ armature windings is to form the windings with a
12 1 plurality of turns. An armature of this type for a
13 ¦ D.C. ~otor is illustrated, for example, in United States
14 ~ Patent 3,506,864 which is directed to winding an I armature with a plurality of turns extending between two 16 jl spaced slots in a laminated core. However, armatures of this 17 I type are only practical with thin flexible wire having a 18 round cross section. It is often desirable to wind the 19 armature with wire having a square or rectangular cross section, Such a wire cross section increases the 21 efficiency of the armature by completely filling the 22 space within each armature slot~ as distinguished from having 23 1~ perhaps 25% or more air space in each armature slot when round 24 ¦I wires are used. Heretofore, when heavy gauge wires and 25 ¦¦ rectangular cross section wires were used for winding 26 ~f armatures, it was necessary either to limit each 27 ¦~ winding to a single turn in order to place the 1~

.

14:~4 . ., conductor in the armature slo-t or to form each winding from a plurality of sections which are welded or soldered together to form a continuous conductor. This greatly increases the comple~ity and cost of manuEacturing the armature.
The prior art has also suggested tha-t the number of armature windings may be increased, for example, by doubling the number of windings in each armature core slot. One winding is connected between two commutator segments spaced substantially 180 apart and a second winding in the same core slot is connected between the adjacent two commutator segments, also spaced substantially 180 apart. However, this arrangement requires twice as many commutator segments than in a conventional armature having only single turn windings. The prior art also has suggested that a double winding may be applied to the armature in four slots mechanically spaced 90 apart about the armature. However~
the prior art has indicated that such an arrangeme~t ls not applicable to four pole machines, since the winding ends must be connected to commutator segments spaced 360~ apart. See the treatise by A. S. Langsdorf, "Principals of Direct-Current Machines'i, Fifth Edition, published in 1940 by McGraw Hill Book Company (New York and London), pages 317-365, especially pages-348 and 349, or the Sixth Edition, published in 1959, pages 45 to 90, especially pages 64 and 65.

1 1 SUMMARY or 1'HE INVF,NTION
2 ~ ~ccording to the present inventlon, a 3 ~ method is provided for placing a plural turn winding on an 4 , armature core for a four pole wave wound direct current 5 ~, machine and also an improved armature for such a 6 ~I machine is provided. The basic armature is of a 7 ~I conventional design in that it has a commutator formed from a 8 i¦ plurality of commutator segments mounted adjacent 9 1 one snd of a shaft and a slotted, laminated core mounted on a 10 ¦ central region of the shaft. According to the 11 ¦ present invention, a plurality of windings, each 12 ~ having at least two open turns, are mounted in the 13 core slots. Each winding is electrically connected between two 14 commutator segments which are spaced substantially 180 apart about the axls of the armature. The 16 ¦ four sides of each winding which form two open turns are mounted 17 ¦ in four slots which are spaced 90 apart about the 18 1 armature axis. Where the windings are formed wlth round ¦ wire of a sufficiently small gauge as to be deformable, each 20 1 winding may be free formed on substantially a 21 flat surface to define the open turns. The free formed winding 22 ~ then is wrapped around the armature core and the sides of thë
23 turns are posltioned within their assigned slots.
24 ~I With heavier gauge wire or with wire having a rectangùlar cross 25 t¦ section, the winding is free formed to its final shape.
26 The winding turns are spread apar~ to permit 1~ ~

3~
posi-tionin~ -the ~indinc3 over the core ancl i.nsertiny each side of the winding in i.ts ~.sslcJned slot. ~ter t}le windiny i5 placed in the slots in -the armature core, two ends of the winding are connected to risers for two commutator segments which are spaced suhs-tantially 180 apar-t. By free forming each winding to substantially its f.inal shape and using open turns as distinguished from closed turns, it is possible to wind armatures with relatively heavy gauge wire having a rectangular cross section and with a plurality of turns for each winding. In the pas-t, it was not possible to wind armatures in this manner.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an improved armature and method for winding an armature for a four pole wave wound direct current machine.
Accordingly, the invention in broad terms is for a 4-pole wave wound direct-current machine having an armature including a plurality of commutator segments and a . laminated core with a plurality of slots formed therein. The invention defines a method for placing a winding on the armature,.which method comprises, free fo ~ ng a oontinuous elonated ccndùctor.having two~ends into a plural~ty.of turns.witll each of the t~rns having.two.sides; ~he conductor.-so formed has substantially a final shape of the conductor on the core and having four of the sides spaced to engage four different slots in the core space approximately 90 apart. The method further comprisec the step of spreading the sides apart and positioning the.formed conductor about the armature core and positioning the four sides in the four different slots in the core.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description, with .. :

l jl DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFFR~ED EMBODIMFNTS
2 l¦ Turning now to the drawings and 3 Iparticularly to Flg. 1, an armature 10 is illustrated 4 'Iconstructed in accordance with the p:resent invention 5 j~for use in a four pole Wave wound direct current motor. The 6 !larmature 10 has a shaft 11 which is supported at ends 12 and 7 ! 13 by bearings mounted on a motor housin~ (not shown). A
8 ¦~commutator 14 having a plural:ity of bars or segments 15 9 1 is mounted on the sha~t 11 with the segments 15 circumferentially ¦
lO ¦ spaced about the armature shaft 11 and electrically lr~sulated from¦
ll ¦ each other. A laminated core 16 extends between the commutator 14 12 ¦ and the shaft end 13. The laminated core 16 is formed from a 13 llferromagnetic material and has alternating slots 17 and 14 ~teeth 18 formed in its outer surface and extending in a 15 1 direction parallel with the axis of the shaft 11. A
16~ plurality of open turn windings 19 are positioned within the : 17 core slots 17. ~ach winding 19 forms at least two ;:18 turns having four sides which are positioned ~ in four different slots 17 spaced substantially :~ ;20 90 apart about the core 16. Each winding 19 is formed from a : 21 single continuous electrical conductor and has two ends which 22 are connected to two of the commutator segments 15 23 1 spaced substantially 1~0 apart about the axis of the .
24 larmature shaft 11. A riser 20 is provided at the ~lend of each of the commutator segments 15 adjacent the 26 ¦¦laminated core 16 for conn9cting the ends of two windings 27 ¦~to eaoh oommutator 993m9nt 15. Th9 armatur9 70 lS providsd 3o .

l ll with identical pluralities of commutator seg~ents 15, core 2 ¦ slots 17 and windings 19. For a four poie wave wound maahine, 3 " the number of segments and windings is always odd. Since each 4 l~ windin~ 19 is positioned in ~our di~ferent slots 17, each S '¦ slot 17 will contain the side or legs of four different ones 4 6 ¦1 of the windings 19.
7 ¦I Turning for a moment to Figs. 2-5, prior art 8 1l methods for wlnding the armature for four pole direct current g ¦ machines are illustrated. Fig. 2 is a pictorial illustration lO I of a single conventional winding 23 for a four pole machine.
ll Of course, the machine will have a plurality of similar windings l2 connected to commutator segments spaced around the armature.
13 The winding 23 has a s:ide 24 which is shown positioned adjacent a l4 I south pole 25 and a side 26 which is shown positioned lS adjacent a north pole 27. A knuckle 28 interconnects one 16 end of the two sides ~4 and 26. The other end of the side 24 17 is connected through a leg 29 to a commutator segment 30 and l8 the other end of the side 26 is connected through a leg 31 to a l~ commutator segment 32. The commutator segments 30 and 20 32 are spaced apart a distance equal to one-half the 21 number of commutator segment bars minus one-half 22 ¦ or approximately 180. This conventional wave winding 23 is normallly satisfactory. However, excessive currents can 24 occur with this winding arrangement in~ for example, D.C.
25 motors operated at relatively high voltages or at relatively 26 low speeds.
27 Fig. 3 illustrates a method for increasing the 28 number of winding turns on the armature for a four pole 29 wave wound direct current machine. In this arrangement, the
30 I numbe of windings are doubles~ as are the ,1 , I I

l number of commutator ~eFments. One ~llnding 33 has a side 34 2 , shown in a position adjacent a south pole 35 and a side 3 " 36 shown positloned adjacent a north pole 37. The sidcs 4 , 34 and 36 each have one end which is lnkerconnected by a S ¦¦ knuckle 38. The other end of the slde 34 is connected to a 6 ~I commutator segment 39 and the other end of the side 7 l¦ 36 ls connected to a commutator segment 40, with the 8 l~ se~ments 39 and 40 spaced substantially 180 apart on the 9 I armature. A second winding 41 is shown positioned ad~acent ¦ and in the same armature core slots as the winding 33 or in an ll I adjacent slot. The winding 41 has a slde 42 positioned adjacent 12 I the south pole 35 and a side 43 positioned adjacent the 13 ¦ north pole 37. The sides 42 and 43 are interconnected at one 14 I end by means of a knuckle 44. The side 47 has a second ~ end oonnected to a commutator segment L15 and the side 43 16 has a second end connected to a commutator segment 46.
The segments 45 and 4~ are spaced substantially 180 18 apart on the armature and also are located respectively, I ~adjacent the commutator segments 39 and 40. Although this arrangement is used commercially, there are several 21 disadvantages. In this arrangement, two colls go in 22 each slot or in adjacent slots and the number of commutator 23 se~ments or bars is often twice the number of slots. This ~ -- 24 complicates both commutation and construction. Often, the 25 1 commutator segments become too narrow to function properly.
26 ¦ Furthermore, since the number of commutator segments must be 27 ! odd for wave windings, a dead or unconnected winding must 28 be used if the number of windings resulting is even.

~1 Fig. Il illustrates another ~nethod for increasing the 2 l,nurnber of winding turns on the armature of a four pole wa~e wound 3 l direct current machine. Each wlnding is in the form of a 4 itwo turn closed loop. A single winding 49 of the plurallty of 5 1~armature windings is illustrated positioned adjacent a south pole 6 il 50 and a north pole 51. The winding 49 has four side~ 52-55. The 7 il sides 52 and 54 are positioned adjacent the south pole 50 and 8 1 the sides 53 and 5~ are positioned adjacent the 9 north pole 51. Ends of the sides 52 and 10 53 are interconnected by a knuckle 56; ends of the 11 sides 53 and 54 are interconnected by a knuckle 57 and 12 ends of the sides 54 and 55 are interconnected by a 13 knuckle 58. The remaining end of the side 52 is connected to a 1~ ¦ commutator segment 59 and the remaining end of the 15 ¦ side 55 is connected to a commutator segment 60. The 16 commutator segments 59 and 60 are spaced substantially 17 180 apart on the armature. By doubling the 18 number of turns of the winding 49 over the winding 28 shown 19 in Fig. 2, the applied voltage may be doubled. Furthermore, this 20 arrangement does not require additional commutakor segments as 21 does the arrangmeent shown in Fig~ 3. However, the 22 winding 49 is in the form of a closed loop which 23 is difficult to insert into armature cores with heavy gauge 24 ~Iconductors and is difficult to form with rectangular wire.

1 'I bloclc diagram of Fig. 5 extends from a commutator segment 65, 2 ~, along a slde 66, a knuckle 67, a side 68, a second knuokle 69, 3 !1 a side 70, a third knuckle 71, a side 72 and thence to a 4 ll commutator seg~ent 73. The winding 64 i9 :illustrated in a 5 1 position with the side 66 adjacent a north magnetic pole 74, 6 1 the side 68 adjacent a south magnet:ic pole 75, the side 70 7 ` ad~acent a north magnetic pole 76 and the side 72 adjacent 8 a south magnetio pole 77. However, according to the teachings 9 of the prior art, such as Langsdorf~s book Principles of Direct Current ~achines, 5th Edition, this arrangement is not satis-. ~
11 factory for a four pole machine since the commutator segments 12 65 and 73 must be positioned 360 apart. Therefore, the com~
13 mutator segments 65 and 73 must lie on top of each other.
14 ¦ This arrangement clearly is not functional. Therefore, ~ the prior art shows that an open double turn winding of the 16 1 type shown in Fig. 5 cannot be used in a four pole machine.
17 Turning now to Fig. 6, a pictorial illustration 18 shows the connection of an exemplary two turn winding 80 on the armature of a four pole wave wound direct current machine in accordance with the present invention. The 21 winding 80 is illustrated as having two open loops. The 22 winding 80 extends from a commutator segment 81 along a 23 ~slde 82, through a knuckle 83, along a side 84, through a 24 knuckle 85, along a side 86, thorugh a knuckle 87, along a ;~ 25 -~ 26 ~ 30 1 ¦ ' 11_ '~' ' !

1 `I slde 88 and is terminated at a commlltator segment 2 ,, 89. The side 82 is illustrated adJacent a 3 ll north magnetic pole 91 the side 84 is illustrated 4 jl adjacent a south magnetic pole 91, the S ll side 86 is illustrated adjacent a 6 ,1 north magnetic pole 92 and the side 88 ls lllustrated 7 I! adjacent a south magnetic pole 93. Of course, as the 8 ¦~ armature rotates, the relative position of the 9 ¦~ sides 82, 84, 86 and 88 wlth respect to the 10 , poles 90-93 will chan~e. It will be seen that the 11 ¦ winding 80 forms two open loops, with the sides 82 and 12 ¦ 84 and the interconnecting knuckle 83 forming one loop and 13 ¦ the sides 86 and 88 and the interconnecting knuckle 87 14 ¦I forming the second open loop. Vnlike the winding 64 illustrated 15 !¦ in Fig. 5, the winding 80 illustrated in Fig. 6 16 il is connected between commutator segments 81 and 17 89 which are spaced approximately 180 apart on the 18 armature. Since there are four active winding sides 82, 84, 19 ¦ 86 and 88 as compared to the two active sides 24 and ¦ 26 for the single turn winding 23 shown in Fig. 2, the 21 ¦ voltage applied to the winding 80 in Fig. 6 22 ¦ may be doubled over the voltage applied to the 23 ¦ winding 23 shown in Fig. 2. It will be noted that the 24 ¦ armature for the winding 80 can be constructed with the 25 ~I same number of commutator segments and the same number of slots 26 as the armature for the winding 23 shown in Fig. 2. The 27 I primary difference is that there will be four conductors j : ,- "' .~ 34 1,' 1 1 or winding sides in each slot for the armature illustrated 2 '~ in Fi~. 6 whereas there are only two winding sides in each 3 ~! slot for the armature illustrated in Fi~. 2. Or, two of the 4 , four conductors or winding sides can be placed in each of two 5 ~1 adjacent slots.
6 ~ Turnin~ naw to Flg~ 7, the final form for the winding ¦ 80 on a motor armature is illustrated in its free form 8 I prior to posltioning on the motor armature. The winding 80 9 j is free formed to have its final shape with the sides 82, 84 J 86 and ~8 spaced parallel and generally forming the 11 outline of the long sides of a box having rectangular sides 12 and square ends. The spacings between the sides 82, 84, 86 13 ¦ and 88 are substantially identical to their final spacings 14 when they are positioned within their assigned slots on the armature core which are spaced substantially 90 apart. One end 16 ¦ of the winding side 82 is connected through a leg 94 to an 17 j end 95 and one end of the side 88 is connected thorugh a leg 18 ¦ 96 to an end 97. The ends 95 and 97 are connected, 19 respectively, to risers for the commutator segments 81 and 89 on the armature. Where the winding 80 is formed from heavy 21 gauge wire or from wire having a rectangular cross section 22 and preferably a square cross section, the winding 80 is formed to substantially its exact final dimensions as- shown 24 in Fig. 7. The winding 80 is then spread apart as far as is necessary to insert the winding 80 about the armature 26 ~ core and to position the sides 82, 84, 86 and 88 within 27 ¦¦ their assigned slots on the armature core. Through this 28 1 arrangement, it is possible to wind a multiple turn winding 29 , ~rom rectangular or round cross section wire. As used 30 ~

. .1 1 1 herein, rectangular cross section wire inc]ucles wire 2 with a square cross section. Thi.s was not possible with 3 l, prior art multiple turn windings, such as the winding 49 4 ~l illustrated in Fig. 4O The only prior art method known 5 1! for positioning ~ultiple turn windings of rectangular 6 ~ cross section wire on an armature requires forming the 7 1¦ windings from se~ments which are inserted :in section~ and 8 l~ welded or soldered together to form connections at the 9 knuckles, as illustrated in United States Patent 1,849,215.
Turning now to Fig. 8, a winding 100 for a four pole 11 wave wound direct current machine is illustrated 12 as including three open turns instead of the two 13 open turns shown in the winding 80. The winding 100 14 is formed from a single continuous conductor which ~ may have a round or rectangular cross section. The 16 winding 100 has two ends 101 and 102 which 17 ¦ are connected to risers on two commutator segments which 18 ¦ are spaced substantially 180 apart on an armature. The 19 I end 101 is connected through a leg 103 to a side 104 and 20thence through a knuckle 105 to a side 106, through a second 21knuekle 107 to a side 108, from the side 108 through a 22! knuekle 109 to a side 110, from the side 110 through a 1 23~ knuekle 111 to a side 112, from the side 112 through a 24knuekle 113 to a side 114, and from the side 114 thorugh a 25 1¦ leg 115 to the end 102. The sides 104 and 106 form a first 26 ~1 open turn, the sides 108 and 110 form a second 27 ,j open turn and the sides 112 and 114 form a third open 28 ~ turn to define a three open turn winding configuration.

~: .

i~

i ~ Ihen the winding lO0 is pLaced on an armature, the sides 2 ,l~ 104 an~ l12 are positioned abutting in the same winding 3 1¦ core slot and the sides 106 and 114 are positioned abutting 4 ¦! in the same winding core slot. The two abutting sides 104 5 !1 and 112, the two abutting sides 106 and 114, the side 108 and 6 1l the side 1 ~o are placed in four dif`ferent slots which are 7 jl spaced substantially 90 apart about the axis of the arrnature.
8 Provided sufficient spacing is available ln the arrnature 9 core slots, the wlnding 100 may be further modified to provide four or more open turns by adding two additional sides ll and an interconnecting knuckle for each additional turn.
12 ¦ In each case, the winding is free formed prlor to positioning 13 ~ on the armature. The coils of the free formed winding 1~ ¦ are deformed or separated to permit positioning the winding lS ~1 over the armature core with the sides of the winding located -16 ¦ in their assigned slots.
It will be noted that in the description of ; 18 the invention, the two commutator segments to which the I ends of a winding are connected have been described as being ¦ spaced substantially 180 apart. This is due to the 21 ¦ fact that the armature is provided with an odd number -22 of commutator segments. As the number of commutator 23 segments increases, the spacing of the two commutator segments connected to the two ends of a winding will 25 ~I gradually approach 180. For example, if an armature is 26 ¦¦ provided with seventeen commutator segments and seventeen 27 ~1 slots, the two commutator segments connected to the 28 end of a plural turn winding are spaced approximately 169 3D~ ~

!l l ,~ I
1 l, apart. On the other hand, i~ the number of comtnutator 2 i segments is increased to forty-five segments, then the two 3 i commutator segments connected to the end of a windinK are 4 ,~ spaced 176 apart or much closer to the desired 180 5 , spacing. As used herein, a spacing of "substantially 180"
6 il between two commutator segments connected to the ends of a 7 1~, winding refers to the closest possible spacing, depending 8 ¦ upon the number of commutator segments on an armature.
9 Similarly, the spacing between the four slot~ receivlng the sides of a two open turn winding in accordance with the 11 present invention has been described as being either 12 "approximately 90 apart" or "substantially 90 apart".
13 1 This spacing wlll vary somewhat dependirg upon the actual 14 number of slots in the armature core. In each case, the sides of a winding are placed in slots which are spaoed as 16 close as possible to 90 apart and such a spacing has been 17 referred to as "approximately 90" or "substantially 90~O
It will be appreciated that various other modiflca-19 1 tions and changes may be made to the above-described preferred 20 ~ embodiments of the invention without departing from the spirit 21 1 and scope of the following claims.
