Rotor/stator winding and method and apparatus for producing same

A cup-shaped winding for motors, said cup-shaped winding having a cylindrical shape and having a substantially closed end defined by a shoulder portion, a substantially open end defined by a peripheral portion and an intermediate cylindrical portion between said shoulder and peripheral portions, said winding comprising a plurality of bands of wire wound at a predetermined angle with respect to a center axis of said cylindrical shape, and bands of wire being displace with respect to one another about the circumference of said cup-shaped winding and overlapping one another at said closed end to form a bow string portion comprising said should portion, overlapping at said open end to form said peripheral portion and overlapping between said bow string and peripheral portions to form an inclined portion comprising said intermediate portion, said bands of wire forming said intermediate cylindrical portion being wound to surround said center axis and any given band of wire being formed of at least first and second successive turns of wire, said second turn of wire in said peripheral portion extending further in an axial direction of said cup-shaped winding and further along a circumferential direction of said open end than said first turn of wire in said given band, said second turn of wire in said bow string portion passing closer to said center axis than said first turn of wire in said given band whereby the length of said second turn of wire in said bow string portion is greater than the length of said first turn of wire in said bow string portion in said given band, and said first and second turns of wire in any given band intersecting one another in said inclined portion.

A cup-shaped winding for motors, said cup-shaped winding having a cylindrical shape and a substantially closed end defined by a shoulder portion, a substantially open end defined by a peripheral portion and an intermediate cylindrical portion between said shoulder and peripheral portions, said winding comprising a plurality of bands of wire wound at a predetermined angle with respect to a center axis of said cylindrical shape, said bands of wire being displaced with respect to one another about the circumference of said cup-shaped winding and overlapping one another at said closed end to form a bow string portion comprising said shoulder portion, overlapping at said open end to form said peripheral portion and overlapping between said bow string and peripheral portions to form an inclined portion comprising said intermediate portion, said bands of wire forming said intermediate cylindrical portion being wound to surround said center axis and any given one of said bands of wire being formed of at least first and second successive turns of wire, said second turn of wire in said peripheral portion extending further in an axial direction of said cup-shaped winding and further along a circumferential direction of said open end than said first turn of wire in said given band, said first and second turns of wire in said given band being substantially parallel with one another in said inclined portion, said second turn of wire in said bow string portion being displaced further from said center axis than said first turn in said given band whereby the length of said second turn of wire in said bow string portion is less than the length in said bow string portion of said first turn of wire in said given band, and each of said bands of wire in said bow string portion forming a substantially curved shape as view from an axial direction of said cup-shaped winding.

A cup-shaped winding for motors, said cup-shaped winding having a cylindrical shape and having a substantially closed end defined by a shoulder portion, a substantially open end defined by a peripheral portion and an intermediate cylindrical portion between said shoulder and peripheral portions, said winding comprising a plurality of bands of wire wound at a predetermined angle with respect to a center axis of said cylindrical shape, each of said bands of wire being displaced with respect to one another about the circumference of said cup-shaped winding and overlapping one another at said closed end to form a bow string portion comprising said shoulder portion, overlapping at said open end to form said peripheral portion and overlapping between said bow string and peripheral portions to form an inclined portion comprising said intermediate portion, wherein each of said bands of wire forming said cup-shaped winding are wound to circumscribe a band area and wherein said center axis passes outside of said band area circumscribed by each of said bands of wire and wherein any given one of said bands of wire is formed of at least first and second successive turns of wire, said second turn of wire in said peripheral portion extending further in an axial direction of said cup-shaped winding and further along a circumferential direction of said cup-shaping winding than said first turn of wire in said given band, said second turn of wire in said bow string portion passing closer to said center axis than said first turn of wire in said given band whereby said second turn of wire in said bow string portion has a length in said bow string portion which is longer than the length of said first turn of wire in said bow string portion in said given band, and wherein said first and second successive turns of wire in said given band are substantially parallel with one another in said inclined portion.
