9 Claims.
Our invention relates to mountings for electromagnetic devices, and more particularly to the mounting structure for the windings for the pole pieces of dynamo-electric machines.
An object of our invention is the provision of the firm positioning of coil windings on pole pieces regardless of whether the poles are in motion or at rest.
A further, somewhat more specific object of our invention is to prevent any shifting, or movement, of the coil windings of a dynamo-electric machine when the pole pieces stop rotating.
Another object of our invention is an improvement in the mounting of the coil windings for the pole pieces of a dynamo-electric machine to increase the efliciency of the machine.
The objects hereinbefore stated are merely illustrative and, no doubt, many other objects and advantages will become readily apparent from a study of the following specification when made in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, in which:
Figure 1 is a sectional View of a pole piece, including our invention, taken in a plane normal to the axis of the rotor with which the poles are to cooperate;
Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the subject matter shown in Fig. 1 taken substantially on the section line IIII shown in Fig. 1; and
Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the subject matter shown in Figs. 1 and 2 on the section line III-III of Figs. 1 and 2.
In all dynamo-electric machines, generally, and large electromagnetic couplings particularly, the air gap may be non-uniform either because of bearing war, or inaccurate bearing alignment, or any one of a number of other reasons. The magnetic pull on the pole pieces is thus asymmetric and tends to aggravate the effects of the variable air gap. By positioning a heavy copper collar, or damper winding, about the pole ends near the air gap, the asymmetric magnetic pull is substantially eliminated.
Another problem, particularly in large dynamoelectric machines, is to hold the coils, or pole windings, firmly on the pole pieces. During normal operation, the centrifugal forces are suflicient to hold the coils in place but as the machine slows down during stopping, the coils, when above the shaft, slide on the pole pieces toward the shaft and when below the shaft, slide on the pole pieces away from the shaft.
To eliminate the slipping of the coils on the pole pieces and yet to get the benefit of the effect ends, springs were formerly positioned between the coils and the copper collars.
We have found that such a construction is rather inefficient and is wasteful of very valuable space. With our novel construction, the coils are firmly held on the pole pieces and, for a given frame size, larger coils, that is, coils as high as ten percent larger, may be used. This also means that a smaller machine, as a magnetic coupling, may be used for given torque, or load, requirements.
The novel construction will become more apparent from a detailed discussion of the figures on the drawing.
In Figures 1 and 2-, I represents the outer rotating frame, or members, of a large electromagnetic coupling to which frame the laminated pole pieces 2 are rigidly bolted by bolts not shown.
The laminations are firmly held together by rivets, or bolts, 3 and 4, and an iron pole face plate 5 is rigidly held on the laminations by stud bolts 6. Disposed between the outer rim 1 of the plate 5 and the coil 8 is a copper, silver, aluminum, or other metal collar 9. This collar acts as a damper winding and substantially eliminates the asymmetric magnetic pull hereinbefore mentioned.
To hold the coil firmly on the pole piece, we provide a groove l0 longitudinally of the face of the laminated portion of the pole piece and position a spring II in this groove, which spring acts on the plate 5 and collar 9 to firmly bias the coil toward the frame I.
The spring II is a leaf spring including one, two, or more leaves. At the mid-portion of the spring, the spring pressure is against the plate 5, whereas at the ends the spring ends fit into grooves [3 in the damper winding. The collar 9, and in consequence, coil 8, is thus firmly held on the pole piece 2 and the short shuttling action of the coils as the rotor I slows down to a stop is entirely eliminated. Valuable coil space is not taken up by the springs when the springs are positioned between the collar rim and the coil, the spring construction is simplified, and the size of the coil, for a given pole size, is increased.
The structure we have thus invented is cheaper, greater flux densities can be obtained, and the efficiency of a dynamo-electric machine is increased.
We realize that others, particularly after having had the benefit of our teaching, may devise other similar structures. We, therefore, do not of the respective copper collars at the pole piece 55 wish to be limited to the exact showing made but wish to be limited only by the scope of the claims hereto appended.
