CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
This is an application for a reissue of U.S. Pat. No. 9,425,663 (patent application Ser. No. 13/942,298). U.S. Pat. No. 9,425,663 and this application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/684,191 filed Aug, 17, 2012. The entire disclosure disclosures of the above application is applications are incorporated herein by reference.
FIELD
The present disclosure relates to electric motors and more particularly to a distributed winding arrangement that reduces brush arcing while reducing the size of the commutator.
BACKGROUND
Brush commutated electric motors generally include an armature having a plurality of coils wound in slots formed in the lamination stack of the armature. With traditional motor designs, the lamination stack of the armature forms a plurality of circumferentially arranged slots extending between adjacent pairs of lamination posts. Two coils per slot are typically used when winding the armature coils on the lamination stack. Among the two coils of the same slot, the one which commutates first is referred to as the first coil and the one which commutates second as the second coil. The second coil has inherently poorer magnetic commutation than the first coil because the second coil passes beyond the magnetic neutral zone within the stator before it finishes commutation. This is illustrated in simplified fashion in FIG. 1, wherein the commutation zone of the first coil is designated by Z1 and the commutation zone of the second coil is designated by Z2. A rotor R is shown positioned within the stator S having field coils F. As a result, the second coil commutation can generate significant brush arcing, and becomes the dominant source of the total brush arcing of the motor. This can also cause electro-magnetic interference (EMI) to be generated which exceeds acceptable levels set by various government regulatory agencies. This brush arcing can also lead to accelerated brush wear.
To address these concerns, distributed winding arrangements have been developed that reduce brush arcing and improve commutation efficiency of an electric motor. It remains desirable, however, to reduce the size and cost of electric motors while maintaining the improved commutation performance achieved by the distributed winding arrangements. This section provides background information related to the present disclosure which is not necessarily prior art.
SUMMARY
A distributed winding arrangement is provided for an electric motor that reduces brush arcing while reducing the size of the commutator. The electric motor is comprised generally of an armature having a plurality of spaced apart posts defining a plurality of spaced apart winding slots; a stator disposed coaxially with the armature; and a commutator having a plurality of commutator bars, where the number of commutator bars is an integer greater than the number of winding slots but less than twice the number of winding slots provided by the armature.
In one arrangement, the number of commutator bars is defined as one and one half times the number of winding slots defined by the armature. Accordingly, the winding arrangement for the armature includes at least a first coil, a second coil, and a third coil. The first coil is wound only in a first pair of spaced apart ones of the winding slots. The second coil has first and second subcoil portions serially coupled together, such that the first subcoil portion is wound in the first pair of spaced apart winding slots, and the second subcoil portion is wound in a second pair of spaced apart winding slots that are circumferentially offset from the first pair of spaced apart winding slots. The first coil and the first subcoil portion of the second coil are wound with different number of winding turns so that a resultant magnetic axis of the first coil lies at a predetermined angular position relative to a first pair of commutator bars to which the first coil is secured.
The third coil has a first and second subcoil portions serially coupled together, such that the first subcoil portion is wound in the second pair of spaced apart winding slots, and the second subcoil portion is wound in a third pair of spaced apart winding slots that are circumferentially offset from the second pair of spaced apart winding slots. The second subcoil portion of the second coil and the first subcoil portion of the third coil are wound with different number of winding turns so that a resultant magnetic axis of the second coil lies at a predetermined angular position relative to a second pair of commutator bars to which the second coil is secured.
More specifically, the first subcoil portion of the second coil has a number of winding turns that is one third the number of winding turns of the first coil, and the second subcoil portion of the second coil has a number of winding turns that is two thirds the number of winding turns of the first coil.
Similarly, the subcoil portion of the third coil has a number of winding turns that is two thirds the number of winding turns of the first coil, and the second subcoil portion of the third coil has a number of winding turns that is one third the number of winding turns of the first coil.
The winding arrangement may further include a fourth coil that is wound only in the third pair of spaced apart winding slots. The second subcoil portion of the third coil and the fourth coil are wound with different number of winding turns so that a resultant magnetic axis of the third coil lies at a predetermined angular position relative to a third pair of commutator bars to which the third coil is secured. This winding pattern may be repeated for the remainder of the winding slots.
This section provides a general summary of the disclosure, and is not a comprehensive disclosure of its full scope or all of its features. Further areas of applicability will become apparent from the description provided herein. The description and specific examples in this summary are intended for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
FIG. 2 depicts an exemplary electric motor 11. The electric motor is comprised generally of an armature 10; a stator (not shown) disposed coaxially with the armature; and a commutator 12 having a plurality of commutator bars. The armature 10 further includes a lamination stack 14 used to support a plurality of coils 25 wound thereon. An armature shaft 22 extends through the lamination stack 14 and is fixedly coupled to a gear reduction assembly 20 and to a fan 18. It will be appreciated, though, that the fan 18 and the gear reduction assembly 20 are optional and not essential to the motor arrangement, and shown merely because they are components that are often used in connection with an armature for an electric motor. The commutator 12, by way of example, includes eighteen (18) independent commutator bars or segments 12 1-12 18. While reference is made to a particular motor arrangement, it is readily understood that the concepts set forth herein may be extended to other types of electric motor arrangements.
Referring to FIG. 3, the lamination stack 14 is illustrated without any coils wound thereon. The lamination stack 14 includes a plurality of radially projecting lamination posts 24, thereby defining a plurality of winding slots S1-S12. In an exemplary embodiment, twelve slots S1-S12 are formed between the posts 24, such that the number of commutator bars 12 1-12 18 is one and one half times the number of winding slots S1-S12. It will be appreciated, however, that while twelve winding slots are illustrated, that a greater or lesser number of winding slots could be employed. Likewise, a greater or lesser number of commutator bars could be employed. In any case, the number of commutator bars is preferably an integer greater than the number of winding slots but less than twice the number of winding slots provided by the armature. Because the number of commutator bars is less than twice the number of winding slots, the size (i.e., diameter) of the commutator 12 can be reduced, thereby reducing the overall size of the motor.
FIG. 4 illustrates a distributed winding pattern that maintains commutation efficiency in the motor arrangement above. Coil number 1 (25 1) has one end thereof coupled to commutator segment number 12 1 and the other end coupled to commutator segment number 12 2. Coil number 1 includes a first plurality of winding turns, for example twelve turns, which are wound around slots S12 and S5 of the lamination stack 14. It will be appreciated that the precise number of windings of each coil (or subcoil portion) can vary depending on the number of winding slots and the number of commutator bars in the motor arrangement.
Coil number 2 (25 2) has a first subcoil portion 2A and a second subcoil 2B in series with one another. First subcoil portion 2A is wound in slots S12 and S5 with one third the number of winding turns of coil number 1; whereas, the second subcoil portion 2B is wound in slots S1 and S6 with two thirds the number of winding turns of coil 1. In the exemplary embodiment, the first subcoil portion 2A is wound with four (4) winding turns and the second subcoil portion 2B is wound with eight (8) winding turns. The end of first subcoil portion 2A is coupled to commutator segment 12 2 while the end of second subcoil portion 2B is coupled to commutator segment 12 3. Windings of the first subcoil portion 2A of coil 25 2 overlaps with the windings of the first coil 25 1.
Coil number 3 (25 3) also includes a first subcoil portion 3A and a second subcoil portion 3B in series with one another. First subcoil portion 3A is wound in slots S1 and S6 with two thirds the number of winding turns of coil number 1; whereas, the second subcoil portion 3B is wound in slots S2 and S7 with one third the number of winding turns of coil number 1. In the exemplary embodiment, the first subcoil portion 3A is wound with eight (8) winding turns and the second subcoil portion 3B is wound with four (4) winding turns. The end of first subcoil portion 3A is coupled to commutator segment 12 3 while the end of second subcoil portion 3B is coupled to commutator segment 12 4. Windings of the first subcoil portion 3A of coil 25 3 overlaps with the windings of the second subcoil portion of coil 25 2.
Coil number 4 (25 4) has one end thereof coupled to commutator segment number 12 4 and the other end coupled to commutator segment number 12 5. Coil number 4 includes a plurality of winding turns, for example twelve turns, which are wound around slots S2 and S7 of the lamination stack 14. It will be noted that the windings of coil number 4 25 4 overlaps with the windings of the second subcoil portion 3B of coil 25 3.
The above-described winding pattern for coils 25 1-25 4 is repeated until all of the coils (in this example, 18 coils) are wound onto the lamination stack 14. Each of the ends of the coils 25 1-25 18 are further secured to immediately adjacent pairs of commutator segments 12 1-12 18. For example, coil 25 5 has its ends secured to commutator segments 12 5 and 12 6, coil 25 6 to segments 12 6 and 12 7, and so forth.
FIG. 6 illustrating the resulting magnetic axes for the distributed winding pattern described above. In this example, the resultant magnetic axis for coil 1 (25 1) is at the center of slot one S1. The resultant magnetic axis for coil 2 is shifted laterally 20 degrees away from the magnetic axis of coil 1. Likewise, the resultant magnetic axis for the coil 3 is shifted laterally 20 degrees away from the magnetic axis of coil 2 and so forth. In this way, the winding pattern results in eighteen (18) magnetic axes that are spaced radially an equal distance (i.e., 20 degrees) from each other.
The above-described winding pattern significantly improves the commutation performance. Splitting portions of coils 25 into first and second subcoil portions allows the subcoil portions to shift the magnetic axis (i.e., laterally), from the position it would have otherwise had in a traditional two-coil-per-slot approach. This is illustrated in FIG. 6. For example, a first subcoil portion shifts their magnetic axes forward to produce a first coil commutation zone, as indicated by line 30, and a second subcoil portion shifts their magnetic axes backward to produce a second coil commutation zone, as indicated by line 32, in reference to the armature's 10 rotational direction. Both of these commutation zones are now in a magnetic neutral zone between field coils 34. With an appropriate turns ratio between coils and subcoils thereof, this winding pattern smooths out the magnetic “unevenness” between adjacent coils, which is a drawback with traditional two-coil-per-slot winding patterns. This, in connection with the shifting of the resultant magnetic axes of each coil, serves to significantly improve the commutation efficiency of the motor and to reduce the overall brush arcing.
FIG. 7 illustrates an alternative distributed winding pattern that maintains commutation efficiency. In this motor arrangement, the commutator 12 includes twenty-four (24) commutator bars 12 1-12 24 and the armature 12 includes a plurality of lamination posts which thereby define sixteen (16) winding slots S1-S16. The winding pattern for this arrangement is further described below.
Coil number 1 (25 1) has one end thereof coupled to commutator segment number 12 1 and the other end coupled to commutator segment number 12 2. Coil number 1 includes a first plurality of winding turns, for example twelve turns, which are wound around slots S14 and S5 of the lamination stack 14. It will be appreciated that the precise number of windings of each coil (or subcoil portion) can vary depending on the number of winding slots and the number of commutator bars in the motor arrangement.
Coil number 2 (25 2) has a first subcoil portion 2A and a second subcoil 2B in series with one another. First subcoil portion 2A is wound in slots S14 and S5 with one third the number of winding turns of coil number 1; whereas, the second subcoil portion 2B is wound in slots S15 and S6 with two thirds the number of winding turns of coil 1. In the exemplary embodiment, the first subcoil portion 2A is wound with four (4) winding turns and the second subcoil portion 2B is wound with eight (8) winding turns. The end of first subcoil portion 2A is coupled to commutator segment 12 2 while the end of second subcoil portion 2B is coupled to commutator segment 12 3. Windings of the first subcoil portion 2A of coil 25 2 overlaps with the windings of the first coil 25 1.
Coil number 3 (25 3) also includes a first subcoil portion 3A and a second subcoil portion 3B in series with one another. First subcoil portion 3A is wound in slots S15 and S6 with two thirds the number of winding turns of coil number 1; whereas, the second subcoil portion 3B is wound in slots S16 and S7 with one third the number of winding turns of coil number 1. In the exemplary embodiment, the first subcoil portion 3A is wound with eight (8) winding turns and the second subcoil portion 3B is wound with four (4) winding turns. The end of first subcoil portion 3A is coupled to commutator segment 12 3 while the end of second subcoil portion 3B is coupled to commutator segment 12 4. Windings of the first subcoil portion 3A of coil 25 3 overlaps with the windings of the second subcoil portion of coil 25 2.
Coil number 4 (25 4) has one end thereof coupled to commutator segment number 12 4 and the other end coupled to commutator segment number 12 5. Coil number 4 includes a plurality of winding turns, for example twelve turns, which are wound around slots S16 and S7 of the lamination stack 14. It will be noted that the windings of coil number 4 25 4 overlaps with the windings of the second subcoil portion 3B of coil 25 3.
The above-described winding pattern for coils 25 1-25 4 is repeated until all of the coils (in this example, 24 coils) are wound onto the lamination stack 14. Each of the ends of the coils 25 1-25 24 are further secured to immediately adjacent pairs of commutator segments 12 1-12 24. For example, coil 25 5 has its ends secured to commutator segments 12 5 and 12 6, coil 25 6 to segments 12 6 and 12 7, and so forth.
The winding pattern employed on the armature reduces the number of commutator segments which in turn reduces the size of the commutator and the motor. The winding pattern employed also serves to significantly reduce the cost of constructing the armature by eliminating components that would otherwise be needed to sufficiently attenuate the EMI that results from traditional two-coil-per-slot winding patterns. Typically, inductive components are required to form a choke circuit associated with each armature brush. These additional components increase the overall cost of manufacturing a motor, as well as increase the complexity of the task of replacing the brushes during repair procedures.
The apparatus and method of the present disclosure thus allows an armature to be formed which significantly reduces brush arcing, and therefore the EMI that is present with traditional two-coil-per-slot armature constructions for all brush commutated electric motors. The apparatus and method of the present disclosure further does not increase the complexity of the manufacturing process or require additional component parts that would otherwise increase the overall cost of construction of an armature and the motor.
The foregoing description of the embodiments has been provided for purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the disclosure. Individual elements or features of a particular embodiment are generally not limited to that particular embodiment, but, where applicable, are interchangeable and can be used in a selected embodiment, even if not specifically shown or described. The same may also be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the disclosure, and all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of the disclosure.
