PROGRESSIVE WINDING OF COILS Filed April 24, 1957 Fig.2.
6. Leona rd 8 ATTORNEY INVENTORS Merrill William A.Siefert f2 United States Patent ()ffi e Patented Jan. 8, 1963 PROGRESSIVE WINDING F COILS Merrill G. Leonard, Brookfield Township, Trumbull County, Ohio, and William A. Siefcrt, Sharon, Pa., assignors to Westinghouse Electric Corporation, East Pittsburgh, Pa., a corporation of Pennsylvania Filed Apr. 24, 1957, Ser. No. 654,782 7 Claims. (Cl. 29-15557) The invention relates generally to coil structures and the method of making them, and more particularly to the preplacing of adhesives and bonding materials in the winding of the coil.
In the manufacture of coil structures for transformers and other inductive apparatus, it has long been the prac tice to manufacture the low voltage windings and high voltage windings separately and then interfit them to get the units in their proper relative positions. The interfitting of the'windings and other parts presents an expensive operation and often results in damage to the parts.
The object of the invention is to provide a method of manufacturing coils in which the adhesives and bonding materials are introduced during the manufacturing operation to render unnecessary the dipping of the coils in varnish or other bonding materials.
Another object of the invention is to provide for so winding the primary and secondary coils of an inductive device relative to one another that a rugged coil structure results which is capable of withstanding the severest operating and test conditions up to short circuit loads.
It is also an object of the invention to provide a method of manufacturing coils in which all the member are built on one another with the adhesives and bonding materials preplaced to avoid the interfitting of parts that have been manufactured separately.
Other objects of the invention will in part be obvious and will in part appear hereinafter.
.tion and the scope of application ofwhich will be indicated in the claims.
For a fuller understanding of the ,natureand objects of the invention, reference should be had to the following'detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which:
FIGURE 1 is a view partly in end elevation and partly in section showing details of the structure;
FIG. 2 is a view in section taken along the line IIII of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 isa view in side elevation of a portion of a strip employed for holding the turns of the Winding in place; ."FIG. 4 is a view in side elevation of a portion of a sheet for permitting the flow of a liquiddielectric into the windings showing details of its structure;
FIG. 5 is a view in side elevation of a portion of a bonding sheet showing details of its structure; and
FIG. 6 is a view in top elevation of a portion of the sheet illustrated in FIG. 5.
i The structure illustrated is manufactured with all the elements required preplaced. Therefore,when the windis no inter- .the method employed involves first selecting a. mandrel J10 of the required shape and size.
This mandrelwill be made from some suitable material such as iron and will in the final structure that will be of predetermined size depending on the specifications to be met.
In starting the winding one or more turns of paper is applied to the mandrel 10. This paper may be of any have the dimensions'that arerequired to provide a window ordinary type commonly used in the building of coils and is applied to the mandrel to facilitate the removal of the coil without damage to the essential members of the structure.
A tube or tubular member or coil form 11 is then wound on top of the turn of paper applied to the mandrel. The number of turns of paper or other fibrous material utilized in making the tubular member 11 will depend on the specification of the transformer. In making small transformers, for instance up to ten kva., it is found that about six turns of a paper of .015 inch in thickness is sufficient to give the required insulation for the low voltage winding.
In building this tubular member 11 according to the present method, it is necessary to provide for the penetration of oil or other liquid dielectric through the paper and for the proper bonding of the turns of paper required to make the tubular member. Therefore, the paper employed is provided with a discontinuous coating of some suitable material such as an apoxy resin which when treated will thoroughly bond the turns of paper to one another.
The paper shown in FIG. 6 comprises a sheet 12 which may be made to meet any of the well known specifications utilized in building coils or windings for transformers or other inductive apparatus. Applied to this paper is an epoxy resin 13. This resin may be applied in strips as illustrated or in any other suitable manner known in the art provided it is discontinuous and leaves sufiicient areas uucoated to permit the penetration of a liquid dielectric to penetrate the uncoated portions of the paper.
The epoxy resin is shown applied in strips because this is one of the well known methods of applying a predetermined amount of the bonding material and also to assure a sufficient uucoated area to provide for the penetration .of the liquid dielectric.
When a tubular member of adequate thickness has been built up, at least one outside turn 14 which has been specially treated will be applied. In the preferred embodiment the outside turn should have an epoxy resin on both sides. It is desirable to utilize an epoxy or similar resin which is neither tacky nor sticky at room temperature and thereby facilitates use but which when subjected to predetermined temperatures passes through a tacky condition before reaching a thermosetting condition, thereby binding the conductors to the paper and successive layers of conductors and paper to one another. Good results have been found in using a heat sensitive adhesive such as an epon resin dissolved in a suitable solvent. Many resins of this kind are known in the art and may be employed. The epoxy'resin will be so applied that when the turn is completed it will present a coated surface. The low voltage winding or coil shown generally at 15 is wound on top of the resin carried by the outer turn 14 ofthe tubular member 11. The conductor employed in the winding 15 may 'be of any size and carry the insulation ordinarily employed in such windings. It is common to use a cotton covered conductor and wind it in layers as shown in FIG. 2. The number of turns of the conductor 16 will depend on the specification to be met. In this embodiment of the invention we have illustrated two layers of turns in the low voltage coil shown generally at 15.
In order to support the turns of the low voltage winding 15 against lateral movement, a strip of material 17 such as a well known pressboard is applied. The strip- 17 may be of any suitable height and width. As shown, a strip which about the height of the conductor is since it will have to withstand the same voltage. outer turn 31 of the tubular member 39 will have an epoxy resin applied on the side facing outwardly.
utilized. In preparing this strip an adhesive such as an epon resin dissolved in any of its well known solvents will be applied to one side and one turn will be wound on the tubular member 11 near the end. The adhesive will bond the strip to the turn 14 of the tubular member. Wlhen a strip is applied in this manner it need not be made of any special shape. In this case it is a strip of pressboard substantially rectangular in cross section.
A spacer shown generally at 18 is then wound over the low voltage winding shown generally at 15. This spacer is preferably a corrugated fibrous sheet coated on both sides with an epon resin or some suitable resinous material as shown in FIG. 5. The layers of shellac 19 and 29 may be discontinuous as shown in FIG. 6.
It is not always necessary to use a corrugated paper. An ordinary paper with rectangular spacers of wood or some other nonmetallic material may be employed depending on the specifications to be met. The purpose of using a corrugated or other paper is to provide ducts to facilitate the entry of a dielectric liquid adjacent to the winding 15.
The next step involves the winding of a tubular member shown generally at 21 on the corrugated sheet shown generally at 18. This tubular member 21 will be made much thicker than the tubular member 11. It will also be made from paper having discontinuous coatings of an epoxy resin applied to both sides as shown in H6. 6. The number of turns of paper in the tubular member shown generally at 21 will depend on the insulating values to be obtained. The tubular member 21 will have to withstand the voltage gradient between the high voltage coil shown generally at 22 and the low voltage coil 15. In finishing the tubular member 21 a turn or turns having an epoxy resin on both sides will be employed. The temperature sensitive epoxy resin will be exposed to receive the turns of the conductor.
The high voltage coil or winding shown generally at 22 will be wound on the tubular member 21. Generally in winding the high voltage coil 22 the conductor 24 is smaller in cross section than the conductor 16 and the coil 22 has many more turns than the low voltage coil 15. The size of the conductor and the number of turns will depend on the specification to be met and may be determined by anyone skilled in the art. A holding strip shown generally at 25 similar to the strip 17 is applied to the tubular member 21 at the end of the turns of the high voltage winding. As shown in FIG. 3, the strips 17 and 25 are the well known fibrous material generally known as pressboard 26 having a coating of an epoxy resin 27 applied for bonding it to the tubular members.
It will be noted that in building up the high voltage V coil shown generally at 22 that between the turns of the coil, layers of paper are applied. These layers of paper will have an epoxy resin on both sides. This will prevent the turns of the winding drom moving relative to one another.
Next the turn of a corrugated or wavy fibrous material similar to the one shown generally at 18 is applied. This turn'of corrugated fibrous material will be designated generally as 28. It comprises a paper. or other fibrous material such as shown in FIG..4 having a coating of an epoxy resin 29 on one side and an equivalent material 3t} on the other side. This corrugated or wavy layer 28 .will permit the penetration of a liquid dielectric adjacent -to the winding 22.
On top of the corrugated layer 28 another tubular member shown generally at 39 corresponding to the tubular member 21 is wound. It should be about the same thickness as the tubular member 21 The The next part isthe low voltage winding shown generally at 32. It willbe the same as the low voltage winding 15. This winding will be made from some insulated conductor 33 commonly used in building low voltage windings. As stated in connection with low voltage coil 15, the number of turns employed will depend on the specification of the transformer or other inductive apparatus.
It has been found to be good practice to wind the completed structure with a number of turns of some suitable tape to hold the members in substantially the as wound position. A cotton tape such as shown at 34 has been found to be satisfactory.
In making windings of this kind, it is generally desirable to put layers of paper having an epoxy resin on both sides between the layers of conductors in the high voltage coils as described hereinbef-ore. Sometimes it will be desirable to place similar layers of paper having an epoxy resin on both sides between the layers of the low voltage windings.
After the winding has. been made, it will be subjected to a heat treatment at a temperature of about 130 C. to completely dry it. The length of time to which the wind- .ings or coils are subjected to this temperature will depend on the conditions to be met. Anyone skilled in this art can readily determine how much heating is required.
After the coil has been properly dried it will be placed in a vacuum tank and subjected to a vacuum of the order of about 1 centimeter of mercury. Vacuum tanks suitable for this purpose are well known in the art and so .have not been illustrated.
The evacuation process removes all gases, principally air, from the winding. The removal of air is important since if the paper employed retains small bubbles of air, in the process of testing or even in use, there may be a breakdown of the insulation at points where the air bubbles have been retained.
After the evacuation process has been completed, a dielectric liquid such for example as oil is flowed into the tank and the whole winding thoroughly impregnated. Thus, we have a process in which all the bonding materials and adhesives are so preplaced that when the winding is finished and processed the structure comprising the conductors, insulation and wound coils will be firmly united and the well known varnish dip and other processing will be unnecessary.
Since certain changes in carrying out the above process and certain modifications in the article which embodies the invention may be made without departing from its scope, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in V,
a limiting sense.
