TOOTH TIP INSERT FOR DIAMOND COIL WINDING ARRANGEMENTS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240055914 titled 'TOOTH TIP INSERT FOR DIAMOND COIL WINDING ARRANGEMENTS
Simplified Explanation
The stator assembly described in the patent application has a cylindrical core with winding slots and wedge-shaped insert slots alternating around the perimeter face of the core. Each insert slot is designed to receive a wedge-shaped insert, which includes a cap at one end to be positioned at the insert slot opening. The cap has wings that overlap a portion of a winding slot on either side of the insert slot, and there is a locking feature for engagement of the inserts in the slots.
- Cylindrical core with winding slots and wedge-shaped insert slots
- Wedge-shaped inserts with caps and wings for overlapping winding slots
- Locking feature for engagement of inserts in slots
- Potential Applications
- Electric motors - Generators - Alternators
- Problems Solved
- Secure positioning of inserts in slots - Efficient assembly of stator components
- Benefits
- Improved stability and performance of stator assembly - Simplified manufacturing process - Enhanced durability and longevity of stator components
Original Abstract Submitted
a stator assembly has a substantially cylindrical core that defines a plurality of winding slots and a plurality of wedge-shaped insert slots, with the winding slots and insert slots alternating around the perimeter face of the core. each insert slot is wedge-shaped to receive a wedge-shaped insert. the insert includes a cap at one end that is configured to be positioned at the insert slot opening when the insert is disposed within the corresponding insert slot. the cap includes a pair of wings extending therefrom that are sized and configured to overlap a portion of a winding slot on either side of the insert slot when the insert is disposed in said insert slot. the insert slots and inserts include a feature for locking engagement of the inserts in the slots.
