Description

Aloys Wobben Argestrasse 19, 26607 Aurich Device for inductively removing the tion from wires and/or profiles The present invention concerns a device for and a method of inductively ing insulation from wires and/or profiles.
For example in wiring a synchronous generator in a wind power installation and at other locations in a wind power installation the electric components have to be connected together for example by electric cables.
That is often effected by a bundle of tors consisting of a licity of electric wires which each have an insulating lacquer layer being used.
The insulating layer or the lacquer layer then has to be removed at the ends of the wires so that an electric or galvanic connection can be made to the respective electric components. Hitherto stripping the insulation at the ends of the wires or profiles is effected mechanically.
As l state of the art attention is ed to DE 1 064 580 B, DE 10 2008 043 876 A1 and DE 601 28 389 T2.
Therefore an object of the present invention is to provide a device for and a method of stripping insulation of wires and/or profiles, which permit rapid stripping of insulation with a uniform y.
That object is attained by a device for inductively stripping insulation from wires according to claim 1 and by a method of inductively stripping insulation from wires according to claim 6.
Thus there is provided a device for stripping insulation from wires and/or profiles having a lacquer or plastic coating. The device has a receiving portion for receiving the ends of the wires and/or profiles from which insulation is to be stripped, at least one induction coil in the region of the ing portion for inductively generating heat to vaporise or thermally remove the g on the wires or profiles within the receiving portion and at least one suction removal hose connected to the receiving portion for sucking away the vaporised or thermally removed coatings of the wires and/or profiles in the region of the receiving portion.
The coatings on the wires and/or profiles can be vaporised or thermally removed with the device accordingto the invention and sucked away by the suction removal hose. Thatmakes it possible to quickly and easily strip insulation from the wires in an automatic procedure.
In addition in an aspect of the ion there is provided a compressed air hose which feeds compressed air into the receiving portion for cooling the heated wire ends and for removing the residues of the coating in the region of the receiving ‘portionLSurface tensions are produced by the compressed air at a corresponding re and the heated ends are cooled. In addition at the same time the residues of the coating in the region of the receiving portion can be simultaneously blown away and disposed of through a suction removal hose.
In a r aspect of the present invention a further portion ls arranged around the outside wall of the receiving portion so that a hollow chamber is d between the outside wall of the receiving portion and the portion. In that case the compressed air is urged or blown through that hollow chamber and through holes in the outside wall of the receiving portion. The ssed air and any particles and gases t can then be sucked away by way of the suction removal hose.
The invention also ns a method of stripping insulation from wires‘ and/or profiles with coatings. The ends of the wires and/or profiles to be ed are introduced into a receiving portion. Inductive generation of heat is implemented in the region of the receiving portion by means of at least one induction coil to vaporise or thermally remove the insulations or coatings on the wires and/or profiles. The vaporised coatings of the wires in the region of the receiving portion are sucked away by a suction l hose.
The present invention also concerns a device for stripping insulation from wires and/or profiles with a lacquer or plastic coating. The device has 3O a receiving portion for receiving the ends of the wires and/or es to be stripped of insulation. The device further has at least one induction coil in the region of the receiving portion for inductively generating heat to se or thermally remove the coating of the wires and/or profiles within the receiving portion. The device r has a suction removal hose connected to the receiving portion for sucking aWay the vaporised or thermally removed g of the wires and/or profiles in the region of the receiving portion. The device further has a compressed air hose for feeding compressed air into the receiving portion for g the heated ends of the wires- and/or profiles and for removing residues of the coatings in the region of the receiving portion. The device further has an outside wall of the receiving portion and a portion arranged therearound, a hollow chamber being provided between the portion and the outside wall. The compressed air hose opens into the hollow chamber. Provided in the outside wall of the receiving portion are holes through which the compressed air can flow out of the compressed air hose. The device further has reduction units Which can be introduced into the receiving n to reduce the inside er of the ing n. ' The ion concerns the notion of provided a device for inductively stripping insulation from wires and/or profiles, wherein the ends of the wires, from which insulation is to be stripped, are introduced into the device and heat is generated inductively (that is to say the copper of the lines is ively heated) so that the coatings on the wires are vaporised and the gases or vapours are sucked away. Then or parallel thereto compressed air can be used for cooling the ed ends of the wires and for better releasing and removing residues on the surface. According to the invention the device for stripping insulation from wires and/or profiles can be used in the area of a wind power installation.
Further configurations of the invention are subject—matter of the appendant claims.
Advantages and embodiments by way of example of the invention are described more fully hereinafter with reference to the drawing.
Figure 1 shows a mmatic sectional view of a part of the device 3O for stripping insulation from wires according to the first embodiment, Figure 2 shows a diagrammatic perspective view of part of the device for stripping insulation from wires according to the first embodiment.
Figure 1 shows a mmatic-sectional view of a part of the device for stripping tion from wires and/or es. The device has a n removal hose 1, an induction coil 5, 10 and an introduction portion 20 for introducing the ends of the wires and/or profiles from which the tion is to be stripped. A tube 7 is provided around the portion 20 and two half— shell portions 6 are provided around the inductor 10. A second hose (compressed air hose) 2 (for example arranged around the first hose 1) serves for the feed of compressed air (for example 6 — 10 bars). A hollow chamber 3 is ed between the half-shell portion 6 and the tube 7. A plurality of through bores or compressed air bores 4 are provided in the tube 7, wherein the compressed air can be guided or blown from the second hose (compressed air hose) 2 through the hollow chamber 3 and through the openings 4 into the receiving portion 20 for cooling the ends n of the wires. ’ ' 7' 7 ' " The"'eofia’éeéio’ns’" 1771'" afiag*’*mai*c£sh ”Edi ’5", 1’0"’aré"”gmaéa"”{e.""aa" inductor portion 30 and can be provided on a hand operating unit which can serve to receive the feed cable. The or coil 20 is preferably water- cooled. The induction coil can be screwed to a hand portion. The induction coil can be of different sizes in dependence on the wire cross—section.
The length of the introduction portion 20 can be variable so that the length of the region of the wires, that is to be stripped of insulation, is also adjustable. In addition a reduction unit can be introduced into the introduction portion 20. The reduction unit can be for example in the form of a hollow cylinder, wherein provided in the hollow cylinder are openings or bores corresponding to openings or bores 4 in the tube 7. That reduction unit can be d to be replaceable. The thickness of the wall of the reduction unit is also adjustable or different reduction units of differing thicknesses can be provided so that conductor bundles of differing thicknesses can also be processed in the device for, stripping insulation from 3O wires.
Figure 2 shows a mmatic partial view in section of the device for stripping insulation from wires according to the first embodiment. The device has an (inside) tube 7, two half—shell portions 6, a (water-cooled) induction coil 10 and a receiving portion 20 for receiving the ends of the wires that are to be stripped of insulation. The device further has a first hose 1 for sucking away fumes, Combustion residues and s which occur in the operation of inductively stripping insulation frOmthe wires. The device r has a secondhose 2 serving to feed compressed air into the receiving portion 20. The ssed air can be fed into a hollow chamber 3 between the half-shell portion 6 and the tube 7 by way of openings 2a at the end of the second hose (compressed air hose) 2. The compressed can pass from the hollow chamber 3 by way of openings 4 in the tube into the ing portion 20.
The tions 11 of the induction coil 10 pass through the portion to the appropriate voltage supply. Water cooling of the induction coil can be ed both in the portion 30 and also within the two half—shell ns.

A bundle of wires which are to be stripped of insulation is introduced into the receiving portion 20 within the tube 7. The length of the ing portion 20 or the depth of penetration of the end of the wires, that is to be stripped of insulation, is adjustable. Inductive heat is generated within the receiving portiOn 20 by means of the induction coil 10 so that the insulations on the wires or the insulating lacquer can melt or burn away and vaporise within that portion, that is to say the lacquer or gs on the wires is thermally removed. The vaporised or thermally removed insulating material can be sucked away by way of the hose 1. After the insulation has been stripped off by vaporisation or thermal removal of the insulating material compressed air can be introduced into the hollow chamber 3 by means of the second hose 2 and the openings 2a, the compressed air then passing through the openings 4 in the tube in the receiving portion 20 and cooling the heated ends of the wires. The compressed air can then in turn be sucked away by way of the first hose 1 and can suck away les of the insulating material.
The device according to the invention for ing insulation from. wires can provide a simple, quick and inexpensive possible way of stripping insulation from wires. The insulation stripping operation can be effected automatically and with uniform quality. The wires or profiles to be stripped of insulation can be used for example in wiring of a synchronous generator, for example for a wind power installation. Alternatively the device for stripping insulation‘from wires and/or profiles can also be used for stripping tion from electric wires or electric profiles in the area of a wind power installation.
While in the state of the art the insulation stripping ions had be effected mechanically the insulation on the wires according to the invention is vaporised or detached by inductive heat (that is to say thermally removed) and the vaporised or thermally removed les of the insulations can be suckedaway. Compressed air canbausedfor coolIng 77 7777the77heated ends The induction coil 10 according to the ion produces a magnetic field which can heat the copper in the bundle to 800 to 900 degrees so that the coating is vaporised or thermally removed.
The time for the heating operation, the suction removal of fumes vaporised particles and also the cooling operation can be ed automatically or in partly automated fashion with the device ing to the ion for stripping insulation from wires.
Subjecting the ends of the wires that are to be stripped of insulation to compressed air is not only advantageous for g purposes but as a result the residues of the insulation or the lacquer es are also blown away orblown offIn the direction of the suction removal hose 1.
The heating s can. last for e between 5 and 7 seconds, the blowing operation can last between 15 and 20 seconds. Sucking air away through the first suction removal hose 1 is preferably always 3O activated so that no toxic vapours can escape.
In an aspect of the invention there can be prOvided a sealing cap for sealing off the opening of the receiving portion when the ends that are to be stripped of insulation are introduced.
The device for and the method of stripping insulation from wires are used according to the ion in particular for generator and choke connections in a wind power installation. The insulated copper wires which are combined together in a conductor bundle are to be inductively stripped _of insulation in the device/method according to the invention. The device according to the invention is preferably provided on a displaceable rolling ‘ truck. The device preferably has an HF generator for generating the required HF (high ncy) ac voltage for powering the induction coil.

The insulation stripping region of the wires that are to be stripped insulation can be set for example in a region of 30 mm to 70 mm (for example with Setting spacings of 5 mm). A sensor for detecting an introduced wire can be provided in the region of the receiving portion 20.
Optionally the coil may be activated only after ion of an uced wire so that it is possible to avoid activation of the coil when a wire is not introduced. The device can allyvalso have a display unit for displaying whether the wires are or are not introduced.
The insulation stripping ion (activation of the induction coil) can be effected manually by actuation of a key or automatically when the wires to be stripped of insulation have been uced into the receiving portion. 3O The wires used should have an insulating material or an insulating lacquer or layer which have a vaporlsation temperature ntially lower than the g temperature of the wires used.
The device for stripping “insulation from wires and/or profiles according to the first embodiment can also be used for inductively heating cable ends, on to which a cable shoe is to be squeezed. The inductively heated cable end and the cable shoe can then be soldered in the region of the inductively heated wire end of the cable shoe; The device according the second embodiment can in that case substantially correspond to the device of the first embodiment so that the cable end to be heated is introduced with the cable shoe fixed thereon into the introduction portion , the induction coil is activated and thus heats the copper in the cable ends. To e the fixing of the cable shoe to the wire ends a soldering operation can be effected, wherein the wire end is heated or warmed up in such a way that the heat is sufficient to melt the soldering tin so that the sOldering tin can flow into the inside region of the cable shoe and thus an improved fixing action can be ed.
In a third embodiment which can be based on the first or second embodiment the device has two introduction units each having a respective induction coil, wherein the first introduction n serves to strip the insulation from the wires or profiles and the second introduction portion serves to heat the cable ends to solder a cable shoe to the cable end. As in the first or second embodiment compressed air can be used to cool the soldered wire or profile ends. In addition the fumes produced in the soldering operation (like the thermally removed coatings) can be sucked away through the above-described hose 1.
