7 Claims. 1
This invention relates generally to improvements in the manufacture of electric motors and refers particularly to ventilated squirrel cage rotors of the cast type now common in the art and to methods of making the same.
It is an object of this invention to provide a method of forming a radial ventilating passage in a rotor through the use of areusable temporary spacer between groups of laminations, the spacer being made of any suitable material that is readily removable without destruction from the rotor after casting the rotor conductors.
It is also an object of this invention to maintain groups of rotor laminations permanently spaced after casting by the formation of spacing means which remain when the reusable temporary spacer is removed.
The objects of the invention are preferably attained by the use of a spacer comprising a plurality of removable dies closely and radially disposed between two groups of core laminations, so that the openings formed between adjacent dies align with the conductor bar slots of the laminations.
The novel features that I consider characteristic of this invention are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The invention itself, together with additional objects and ad- 2 helical to cause the slots of the stacked laminations to align with skew.
To provide one or more radial ventilating ducts in the finished rotor at least one temporary spacer is inserted between groups of the laminations 8. Such a temporary spacer comprises a plurality of removable dies I! each of which may section, either L-shaped or T-shaped, and each vantages thereof, will be best understood from r the following description of a specific embodiment when read in connection with the accompanying drawings in which:
Fig. 1 is an oblique view of the assembled laminations and of a temporary spacer comprising a plurality of substantially L-shaped'removable dies for a die cast rotor showing parts thereof broken away;
Fig. 2 is an enlarged view inelevation of one of the removable dies shown in Fig. 1;
Fig. 3 is a view in side elevation of the die shown in Fig. 2;
Fig. 4 is a view in elevation of a modified removable die of substantially T-shape; and
Fig. 5 is a view in side elevation of the die shown in Fig. 4.
Referring now particularly to the accompanying drawings, the numeral 8 designates the rotor core laminations which are made from thin .sheets of steel of a suitable grade. These laminations 8 are punched to provide conductor bar slots 9, and a bore l0 having a keyway II for reception of a spider mounted on a rotor shaft.
For casting the rotor conductors the,laminations 8 are stacked on a mandrel I2 having a keyway I3 and are aligned with each other by means of a key It fitted in the keyways of the laminations and of the mandrel.
The keyways may be parallel to the mandrel axis so that the slots of the stacked laminations align without skew, or the keyways may be die is tapered along its length away from the end having the projection. With respect to the axis of the mandrel or the circle about which they are disposed, the diesare radially and axially tapered.
The enlarged views of the dies shown in elevation in Figs. 2 through 5 more clearly illusa plane or curved, and may be parallel or inclined toward each other to afford a draft for removing the die after casting the conductor bars. Surfaces 21 and 28 indicate a further inclination of the sides near the lower end of the die and are the surfaces of abutment of adjacent dies radially arranged as in Fig. 1.
T-shaped die 23 may be tapered similarly to die l1; surfaces 32 and 31 may be plane or curved, and may be parallel or inclined toward each other; the side surfaces of the projections of the die may be parallel as are surfaces 34, 35, and may be inclined as are surfaces 33, 36. The latter surfaces of adjacent dies will be in abutment when the dies are radially disposed as in Fig. 1.
The front surface 25 and the back surface 3| of die H, as well as surfaces 38, 39 of die 23, may form parallel planes, or planes inclined inward toward the lower end, giving an axial taper to each die to facilitate the removal of the dies molten metal that is to form the conductor bars.
The dies may be so tapered that the so-called points of abutment of adjacent dies are actually surfaces of contact lying substantially in radial planes. 7
The thickness of the dies of a spacer depends on the desired size of the radial ventilating duct. If the dies extend inward to the mandrel, one of the diesmay be shortened or notched to accommodate the key II. For a rotor comprising a spider for providing longitudinal ventilating passages to be connected with a radial ventilating duct, the dies may be disposed about a circle of a diameter somewhat larger than the inner diameter of the laminations so that none ofthe connections between the longitudinal passages and the radial duct will be blocked by an arm of the spider.
The dies H are so constructed and arranged that the openings 20 between adjacent dies cooperate with the conductor bar slots of the adjacent laminations to form a mold for casting the conductor bars in the aligned slots and spacer openings. These openings 20 may be of the same size and configuration as the conductor bar slots, or they may be larger than the slots, as illustrated in Fig. 1, so as to form enlargements of the conductor bars upon casting.
The core laminations are assembled with at least one spacer interposed between groups of the laminations and thelaminations are firmly clamped together, binding the removable dies disposed between two laminations to maintain the spacer openings 20 aligned with the conductor bar slots 9. Thereafter the conductor bars are cast in the slots of the laminations in any suitable known manner, the molten metal filling all of the slots 9 and all of the openings 20 of the spacer. The enlargements of the conductor bars in the temporary spacer form permanent spacers between the groups of laminations.
After casting the conductor bars the dies forming the temporary sparer'may be removed. The vacated space then left between the adjacent laminations is the radial ventilating duct 24 which surrounds the conductor bars. The conductor bars in the radial ventilating duct have a cross sectional shape determined by the spacer mold, the shape of openings 20, and may be substantially triangular or wedge shaped, so the conductor bars eifectively act as fans in the ventilating duct. I
The spacermay extend beyond the outer periphery of the laminations, as illustrated, or may extend only to the outer periphery. Such an ex tension of the spacer beyond the periphery of the laminations is for aiding in removal of the dies forming the spacer. The outer portion of each die may have an opening i8 for attaching a tool for loosening and removing each die.
The opening l8 may be replaced by a notch in at least one of the faces of the die. The tool for removing the die may comprise a bar provided at one end with a hook to be inserted in the open ing of the die, and at the otherend with an enlargement. An annular hammer sliding on the bar is used for applying impacts to the enlarged end of the bar to loosen the die away from the cast material and from the tightly stacked but somewhat resilient laminations.
When the dies do not extend beyond the periphery of the laminations, they may be provided with radial tapped holes for the insertion of bolts to be used for removing the dies from the laminations.
. passages connecting with the radial ventilating passages. The same result can be achieved by means .of a splined shaft forming ventilating ducts, or by using laminations punched to provide longitudinal ventilating passages and mounting ,the 'core directly on the rotor shaft.
From the foregoing description'taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, it will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention provides a temporary spacer that can be economically produced for repeated use as well as an improved method of providing squirrel cage rotors with radial ventilating passages.
