Specification of Letters Patent.
OF LYNN, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOB GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY, A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK.
Application filed Kay 10, 1909. SerialNo. 495,087.
'10 all whom it mag concern:
Be it known that I, JoHN B. WIARD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lynn, county of Essex, State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Induction-Motors, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to induction motors,
and its object is to produce a motor having ceitain advantages not heretofore attained.
The squirrel cage winding is the simplest and cheapest form of secondary winding for induction motors, but, as ordinarily arranged, it possesses the disadvantage, as compared with a coil Winding, that the starting torque is comparatively low and the starting current very high. with a coil wound secondary resistance may be inserted at starting and gradually cut out as the motor accelerates, high veloped with low line current. By my invention I attain substantially the same rerotor axially, so
wound secondary with from high resistance secondary at starting to low resistance for running without any auxiliary starting device externalto the motor.
My :invention consists in providing the rotor with high and low resistance mem bers displaced from each other axially, the rotor being movable axially along its shaft, and with automatic means for shifting the that at starting the high resistance member is in the field produced by the stator winding, and as the motor comes u to speed the rotor is moved along the sha so as to sults as with a coil automatic transltion starts with a high resistance secondary member and comes up to speed with secondary members whose combined BfiQCtlVB resistance is gradually lowered.
' For starting very heavy loads, or loads increases with the speed, the motor sometimes cannot be designed conveniently for entirely automatic operation. I accordingly provide a handle which may be used to assist the automatic means for shifting the rotor when starting certain kinds of loads and arrange the handle and the rotor in such a manner that the rotor may be moved automatically without movement of the handlewhen the character of the load permits entirely automatic operation.
torque being debring the low resistance member into the field. The motor thus Patented Sept 19, 1911.
My invention will best be understood reference to the accompanying drawings, 1n.
WhlCh-- v F1gure 1 shows a side elevation, partly in cross-section, of an lnduction motor arranged in accordance with my invention, and
Figs. 2 and 3 show details. v
In the drawings, A represents the stator, which is of the usual laminated construction, carrying the coils B of the primary winding.
O represents the rotor spider or hub, which carries high and low resistance members D and D side by side. are preferably provided with squirrel cage windings. The conductors E may extend across both the core portions of the members D and D so as to be common to both windings.
The end rings 6 of member D are of low resistance, while the end ring (2 of the member D is of high resistance. This arrangement of rings gives in elfect a low resistance squirrel. cage winding for the member and a high resistance squirrel cage winding The rotor hub G is for the member D. mounted 011 a sleeve F, which is loose on the shaft G.
H is a member fixed to the shaft and having a surface adapted to be engaged by a member 0 on the rotor, as .is best shown in Fig. 3. The shaft is driven by the rotor through the member H, and the bearing surfaces between the member H and the member a on the rotor are so shaped that the driving pressure between them tends to force the rotor axially along the shaft. At starting the rotor is in the position indicated by the dotted lines in Figs. 1 and 3, but when the motor starts the pressure between the members H and 0 tends to force thev rotor toward the position shown in full lines. This tendency is opposed at starting by the repulsion effect on the low resistance member produced by the primary field. motor speeds up this repulsion effect di minishes and allows the rotor to shift so as to bring the low resistance member into the field, as shown in full lines in Fig. 1. 'VVhen the motor circuit is opened the rotor is returned'to the dotted line position by the tension spring I, one end of which is attached' to the member H and the other to the sleeve F.
. As has been stated above, it is desirable to assist the automatichction in shifting the Both members 16ov As the "parts shown, but aim in to cover all modifications which are within rotor when the motor starts certain kinds of loads; For this purpose a handle J is provided pivoted on the motor frame and held normally-in the position shown by a spring j. The handle carries a roller K on the end of a crank is, which roller, when the rotor is in starting position, is in engagement with the rotor so that if the handle is moved in a clockwise direction, as shown in Fig. 1, pressure is exerted on the rotor which assists the driving pressure between members H and c in shifting the rotor axially.
