Device and Method for Winding Toroidal Cores Without Using a Magazine

Abstract

The invention relates to a device and a method for winding toroidal cores, which can be guided in a toroidal core retaining element, with a wire comprising multiple wire sections without using a magazine. The device additionally comprises: a substantially circular needle roller which is arranged on a winding plane substantially parallel to the wire, is rotatably mounted, and can be positioned relative to the toroidal core retaining element such that the needle roller winds a wire section located on the winding plane through and about a toroidal core which is guided in the toroidal core retaining element during operation. The needle roller additionally comprises a deflecting roller, which is rotatably mounted on the needle roller in a first recess on the winding plane and which is designed to wind the wire section located on the winding plane through and about the toroidal core during operation, and a baffle plate, which is arranged on the needle roller in a second recess on the winding plane adjacently to the first recess and which is designed to guide the wire to be wound between the winding plane and a storing plane arranged substantially parallel to the winding plane via a guide groove during operation. The device additionally comprises multiple storing elements which are arranged on the storing plane, which are mounted in a stationary and rotatable manner, and which are designed to store wire sections located on the storing plane.
