Abstract:
A die structure for use in a laminated core manufacture wherein a plurality of apertured sheets are provided with projections formed from the portion of the sheet from which the apertures are formed to define an interlocked laminated stack. The first of the sheets is provided with a through aperture with the projection being eliminated so as to define a nonprojecting surface in the first of the sheets of the stack, with the projections of each of the subsequent sheets extending into and being interlocked with the preceding sheets in the aperture thereof. The punching apparatus for providing the apertures and projections is selectively operated to define either the formed aperture and projection structure or a blanked out apertured structure. The blanked out apertured structure defines the first of the sheets of the stack. The extent of the projections from the sheets is preselected to be no greater than the thickness of the sheets so that the projection of the sheets superjacent the first lamination is received fully within the blanked out aperture thereof. The blanked out sheets may be indexed to define a skewed axis dynamoelectric structure.
Abstract:
An AC generator for a vehicle comprises a rotor having a pair of finger magnetic poles and an armature iron core. By deviating pole pieces of the finger magnetic poles by predetermined angles relative to each of opposed tooth portions of the armature iron core, torque variation applied to each of the pole pieces during rotation is cancelled, and magnetic sound can be greatly decreased without reducing the output of the AC generator.
Abstract:
A laminated electromagnetic core and a method of manufacturing incorporates a double layer winding with the core being formed from first and second sets of apertured laminations of which one set accommodates the conductors of one layer of the winding and the other set accommodates the conductors of the other layer of the winding the conductors being interconnected by end windings and adjacent laminations in each lamination set are displaced from mutual alignment to permit the conductor end windings to be of minimal length such that conductor ends which are to be interconnected adjoin one another, thereby facilitating the formation of end windings by in situ casting.
Abstract:
Fractional horsepower induction motors having a fixed number of poles (and, accordingly, a single no load synchronous speed) that are particularly adapted for multi-speed operation when driving a fan load by changing the field strength of the main winding. Induction motors of N fundamental poles have squirrel cage rotor having a plurality of interrelated conductor bars and end rings that are arranged so that multiple sets of the rotor bars establish a predetermined number of separately identifiable cage sets such that the fundamental pole structure of the stator field is coupled with the rotor and such that the third harmonic of the stator field is not coupled with the rotor. The rotor slot number and total number of separately identifiable cage sets are selected so that a cage set pattern is provided that has two-thirds of a fundamental pole pitch. In addition, the number of rotor cage end rings at one end times the number of rotor cage end rings at the other end is greater than or equal to the number of different cage types.
Abstract:
A direct current motor has a rotatable axially slotted cylindrical armature and an even number of permanent magnet poles. The poles are spaced apart 360*/N where N is the number of poles. The poles can be asymmetrically shaped so that the points of maximum field strength of each pole are spaced 360*/N + OR phi from each adjacent pole to effect cooperative cancellation of cogging torque tending to be generated between the armature and the respective adjacent poles.
