Abstract
Method and device for time-optimized curing of winding coils and/or rods of electrical machines having winding coils and/or rods with groove and coil face areas and have at least one individual conductor provided with a curable material. The coated conductor insulation or a conductor assembly is inductively heated prior to, and/or during the inductive heating process and/or thereafter, the winding coils and/or rods are pressed and the winding coils and/or rods are cooled. With this method and device, time-optimized manufacture of winding coils and/or rods can be manufactured with reproducible quality results.
Claims11
A method of curing at least one of a winding coil and a rod of an electrical machine, the at least one of the winding coil and rod having a groove face area and a coil face area and includes at least one individual conductor provided with a curable material, the method comprising the steps of:
- inductively heating one of i) a coated conductor insulation of the at least one individual conductor and, ii) a conductor assembly including the at least one individual conductor using an inductor which is separate from the at least one of the winding coil and the rod;
- pressing the at least one of the winding coil and rod, the pressing step being performed at least one of i) prior to, ii) during, and iii) after the inductively heating step;
- and
- cooling the at least one of the winding coil and rod.
A method of curing at least one of a winding coil and a rod of an electrical machine, the at least one of the winding coil and rod having a groove face area and a coil face area and includes at least one individual conductor provided with a curable material, the method, comprising:
- inductively heating one of i) a coated conductor insulation of the at least one individual conductor and, ii) a conductor assembly including the at least one individual conductor, the inductively heating step being performed by an inductor;
- supplying the inductor with one of a low-frequency, medium-frequency and high-frequency power to control a penetration depth of a heat radiation via a skin effect;
- pressing the at least one of the winding coil and rod, the pressing step being performed at least one of i) prior to, ii) during, and iii) after the inductively heating step;
- cooling the at least one of the winding coil and rod inductively heating at least one of i) the entire at least one of the winding coil and rod, and ii) only groove areas in the grooves of the at least one of the winding coil and rod;
- simultaneously with the inductively heating step, cooling a coil face not to be cured;
- and
- after the inductively heating step, cooling, via at least one of the inductive heating system and an additional cooling system, the inductively heated at least one entire at least one of the winding coil and rod, and only the groove areas.
A method of curing at least one of a winding coil and a rod of an electrical machine, the at least one of the winding coil and rod having a groove face area and a coil face area and includes at least one individual conductor Provided with a curable material, comprising:
- inductively heating one of i) a coated conductor insulation of the at least one individual conductor and, ii) a conductor assembly including the at least one individual conductor;
- pressing the at least one of the winding coil and rod, the pressing step being performed at least one of i) prior to, ii) during, and iii) after the inductively heating step;
- cooling the at least one of the winding coil and rod;
- inductively heating at least one of i) the entire at least one of the winding coil and rod, and ii) only groove areas in the grooves of the at least one of the winding coil and rod;
- simultaneously with the inductively heating step, cooling a coil face not to be cured;
- and
- after the inductively heating step, cooling, via at least one of the inductive heating system and an additional cooling system, the inductively heated at least one entire at least one of the winding coil and rod, and only the groove areas.
A method of curing at least one of a winding coil and a rod of an electrical machine, the at least one of the winding coil and rod having a groove face area and a coil face area and includes at least one individual conductor provided with a curable material, comprising the steps of:
- inductively heating one of i) a coated conductor insulation of the at least one individual conductor and, ii) a conductor assembly including the at least one individual conductor;
- pressing the at least one of the winding coil and rod, the pressing step being performed at least one of i) prior to, ii) during, and iii) after the inductively heating step;
- and
- cooling the at least one of the winding coil and rod;
- wherein the steps are performed one of i) continuously on an assembly line, ii) via a single-stage press, and iii) via a multistage press.
A device for heating at least one of winding coils and rods of electrical machines, comprising:
- an arrangement receiving the at least one of winding coils and rods, the at least one of winding coils and rods including groove areas, coil face areas, and at least one individual conductor provided with a curable material;
- and
- an inductor heating the at least one of winding coils and rods, the inductor being separate from the at least one of winding coils and rods.
