HAIRPIN ALIGNMENT DEVICE FOR HAIRPIN WINDING MOTOR AND HAIRPIN ALIGNMENT METHOD USING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17536658 titled 'HAIRPIN ALIGNMENT DEVICE FOR HAIRPIN WINDING MOTOR AND HAIRPIN ALIGNMENT METHOD USING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The hairpin alignment device described in this patent application is designed for the hairpin winding motor. It includes a rotation unit with a dummy core that rotates by a predetermined angle based on the number of slots in the motor. There is also an alignment unit with push bars that move in a radial direction to align the hairpin. A guide unit helps pre-align the hairpin to the slot and creates space for insertion. A handling gripper supplies the hairpin to the slot.

  • Rotation unit with a dummy core that rotates to align the hairpin
  • Alignment unit with push bars that move in a radial direction to align the hairpin
  • Guide unit that helps pre-align the hairpin and creates space for insertion
  • Handling gripper that supplies the hairpin to the slot

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Hairpin winding motors in various industries such as automotive, aerospace, and industrial machinery

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensures accurate alignment of hairpin in the motor slots
  • Simplifies the hairpin winding process
  • Increases efficiency and productivity in motor manufacturing

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved precision and reliability in motor performance
  • Reduces the risk of hairpin misalignment and potential motor failure
  • Streamlines the manufacturing process and reduces labor requirements


Original Abstract Submitted

A hairpin alignment device for the hairpin winding motor according to an embodiment includes a rotation unit in which the dummy core is mounted in the center and rotates the dummy core by a first predetermined angle in correspondence with the number of slots, an alignment unit disposed on the upper surface of the rotation unit, and including a plurality of push bars disposed along the upper end circumference of the dummy core and reciprocating in a radial direction with respect to the hairpin, a guide unit disposed on the side of the rotation unit, selectively operating with the hairpin overlapped in each layer when pre-aligning the hairpin to the slot, and moving the overlapping hairpin outward in a radial direction to secure an inserting space of the hairpin, and a handling gripper adjacent to the rotation unit and supplying the hairpin to the slot.
