Definitions

  • This invention relates to adjustable transformers of the type having a high resistance brush slidable along a circular, electrical contact surface on the exterior of the winding, usually connected as an autotransformer, and more in particular to improved means for dissipating the heat generated in the area where the brush touches the winding contact surface.
  • the core of a sliding brush autotransformer operates at a much lower temperature than the windingbrush interface. Consequently, the core is theoretically capable of acting as a heat sink to remove heat from the high temperature interface. However, the core is prevented from being an heat sink by the manner in which sliding brush autotransformers are conventionally made.
  • the winding of such autotransformers is a toroidal coil wound on an annular core. The winding must be raised near the outer circumference of the core to furnish a surface that can be machined fiat to form the contact surface that the brush slides over.
  • the winding is usually raised by placing on the core a plastic form member having a flat, thickened outer circumference, and an insulated wire conductor Iis coiled around the form member.
  • the limiting effect of the high temperature interface is that sliding brush autotransformers must be operated at a much lower load current level than would be permissible for the remaining materials and elements employed. This results in the size, weight, and cost of the apparatus being increased above that which would be necessary for the thermal and electrical conditions encountered in other pants thereof.
  • Another drawback is that the limiting eect of the high temperature interface prevents the use of higher classes of insulation; the reason is that the winding-brush interface will fail because of the high temperature encountered there before the remaining portions of the apparatus will be raised to temperatres high enough to cause an electrical insulation failure.
  • our invention is based on the realization that the means for removing heat from the high temperature interface need not necessarily dissipate heat directly to the atmos phere. instead, the heat removing means need merely absorb heat from the hot-spot area adjacent the interface and carry the heat to other lower temperature areas of the autotransformer. This results in more uniform temperature distribution throughout the autotransformer, and enables an autotransformer core and winding assembly to use higher temperature insulation and to be operated at greater load capacities for a given size.
  • one object of our invention is to provide an improved heat sink for dissipating heat generated at .the high temperature interface between an autotransformer brush and winding so as to solve problems previously encountered by the prior art without incurring the disadvantages of prior art heat sinks.
  • a more general object of the invention is to provide an improved sliding brush autotransformer operable at higher load levels for any given size and weight of its core and winding assembly.
  • Another object is to improve adjustable autotransformer construction so that the use of relatively high temperature insulation is practical.
  • Another object is to provide sliding brush autotransformers with a heat sink that prevents burn-out or deformation of the Winding contact surface at relatively high load levels.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide an adjustable sliding brush autotransformer with a heat sink that has the same heat absorbing effect for all locations of the brush on the winding contact surface.
  • Another object is to provide adjustable autotransformers with a heat sink that is an integral metal body having continuous outer surfaces, yet is not a short-circuited turn about the autotransformer core.
  • a further object is to provide a heat sink arrangement for sliding brush autotransformers that eliminates the winding brush interface temperature as the limiting factor in the construction and operation of the autotransformer,
  • a further object is to provide a heat sink in a sliding brush autotransformer that furnishes a fiat surface to aid in fabricating the winding contact surface over which the brush slides.
  • a further object is to provide a sliding brush autotransformer in which thermal insulation between the winding and core is reduced to the extent that the core becomes an eicient heat sink for the heat produced at the high temperature interface between tde brush and winding.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a heat sink for sliding brush autotransformers in which eddy current losses in the heat sink are minimized.
  • Another object of the invention is to improve adjustable autotransformers of the type having a winding coiled around an insulating form that often has an uneven surface by providing a heat sink that furnishes a llat, even surface for the winding to be wound on in spite of unevenness in the insulating form.
  • an adjustable autotransiormer of the type having a substantially toroidal winding of successively disposed adjacent turns may have a circular electrical contact surface on the winding in a plane substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal centroidal axis of the winding.
  • the winding contact surface provides a circular, commutator-like path for sliding electrical contact between a high resistance brush connectible to an external circuit and successive turns of the winding. Under many operating conditions suiiicient heat is produced at the area of contact between the brush and winding contact surface to damage parts of the autotransformers.
  • Our invention resides in the improvement that prevents damage from excessive heat at the area of contact between the brush and winding contact surface by the use of a substantially circular metal heat sink ring having its central axis substantially coincident with the longitudinal centroidal axis of the winding.
  • the heat sink is substantially enveloped by the toroidal winding and has a flat, even outer surface located in a plane substantially parallel to the previously mentioned plane of the Winding contact surface.
  • the outer surface ot the heat sink is in heat transfer relationship with the Winding contact surface throughout the circular path of sliding movement of the brush, Thus effective distribution of heat into the heat sink and away from the area of contact is achieved for all positions of the brush along its circular path of movement.

  • the autotransiormer T tl has an annular core lll of laminated form made by spirally Winding a ribbon or sheet of magnetic iron or steel upon itself.
  • T he core ll is enclosed in two generally U-shaped winding forms l2, made from insulating material, such as plastic.
  • the forms may have serrations (not illustrated) in their outer edges to provide guides for placing and holding the insulated conductor forming the toroidal winding t3.
  • rihe upper form l2 may have a thickened portion at its outer circumference to ensure that the outer circumference of the winding 3 will be raised above the inner circumference of the winding; this ensures that insulation will be removed only from the raised portion of the Winding when the commutatorlike surface l5 is fabricated by methods described in paragraphs that follow.
  • the winding i3 is made from an insulated wire coiled about the core lll to provide a plurality of successively disposed adjacent turns.
  • An outer surface of the winding llll is provided with commutator-like, electrical contact surface it.
  • the surface i5' lies in a place substantially perpendicular' to the longitudinal centroidal axis 23 of the winding, and provides a circular path for sliding electrical contact with a high resistance brush ld.
  • the surface l5 may be formed by removing the insulation from the surface of the wire forming the winding l by grinding the wire -lat, so as to provide a relatively smooth surface for travel of the brush lo.
  • An alternative arrangement is to provide on Athe previously ground flat contact surface, a layer or any of the Well known materials usable tor brush commutating surfaces.
  • the materials employed are usually high corrosion resistance, low electrical resistance metals or alloys.
  • a more detailed disclosure of materials that have long been used in the art for this purpose may be found in standard textbooks, such as Electrical Contacts, by L. B. Hunt, published in 1946, by lonnson, Matthey 8L Co., Ltd.
  • the brush 16 is conventionally made from a high resistance carbon or graphite type material to prevent excessive currents when adjacent turns of the winding are siort circuited.
  • the brush may be mounted in a holder j' secured to a radiator plate i5, which is mounted on a rotatable shaft :t9 extending through the opening in the core.
  • the brush i6 is urged against the surface 15 by a spring Ztl so as to maintain a predetermined pressure therebetween.
  • the shaft i9 may have a knob 21 attached thereto to facilitate manual turning of the shaft i9 to vary the position of the brush lo on the surface l5.
  • the radiator plate ld aids in dissipating heat generated by the autotransformer particularly that generated in the brush.
  • the core and winding assembly may be supported on a base 2?..
  • the ends of the winding i3 are connected to an external source E of alternating current, als for example, by plugging them in to an ordinary volt outlet, as indicated schematically by the leads 2d and 25.
  • the output terminals 26 and 27 of the autotransformer are connected respectively to the brush lo and one of input leads 2d, as indicated schematically in FIGURE l.
  • An external load ZS can be connected across the output terminals 2o and 27, and the voltage and current received by the load are determined by the position of the brush le on the commutator-lil'e Contact surface l5 ofthe Winding i3.
  • autotransformers in accord with our teachings employ a substantially circular, ring-like, metal heat sinh beneath the winding 13 in the area immediately adjacent the winding contact surface l5.
  • the longitudinal centroidal axis of the heat sink should be substantially coincident with the longitudinal centroidal axis 23 of the autotransformer winding to ensure a symmetrical relationship.
  • the heat sinlt is a ring Si?, which is made from a metal having a relatively high ythermal conductivity and a relatively low electrical rcsistance.
  • the ring 3@ should be at least as wide as the brush 16. it has been found that silver, copper, and aluminum possess desirable properties in the above given order of preference.
  • a substantially circular, ring-like heat sink such as 30, provides the additional advantage that heat will be conducted substantially equally in both directions away from the high temperature interface between the brush 16 winding contact surface 2.5 regardless of the location of the brush along its path of movement. The reason is that because the ring is continuous and circular, there will be a continuous metal path on both sides of the brush to conduct heat in both directions circumferentially around the ring no matter where the brush is located.
  • heat sink cannot act as a short-circuited turn about the flux in the core.
  • complicated and expensive constructions had to be employed in order to prevent the heat sink from becoming a short-circuitcd turn about the ux in the core, since this would have caused the heat sink to burn up in a very short time.
  • the outer surfaces of the heat sink define a closed metal polygon in a plane that is parallel to the cross-sectional plane of the core through which the iiux travels; this construction provides a large mass of metal for absorbing heat.
  • the closed metal polygon does not go around the core, and thus cannot be a shortcircuited turn.
  • the structure of the autotransformer is identical to that shown and described with reference -to FGURES l and Z, except that the heat sini: is a laminated structure.
  • the heat sink 35 can be formed by winding a length or strip of high conductivity metal about itself to form a spiral, or it can be made by placing a plurality of circular rings concentrically about each other. This type of structure reduces eddy current losses because eddy currents can only be formed in each individual lamination Sie and not in the entire cross sectional area of the heat sink.
  • FGURE 4 illustrates another embodiment of the invention in which the autotransformer is identical to that disclosed with reference to FGURES l and 2, except for the structure of the heat sinh 4h.
  • the heat sink iti has integral therewith a plurality of projections 4l that extend through the insulating form member l2 into Contact with the core il.
  • This arrangement provides a metal path bc- 'twecn the winding contact surface l5 and the core lll through which heat can be conducted to the core that is broken only by the thin layer of insulation between the winding i3 and heat sink dil. Since the core is at a lower temperature than the winding-brush interface, it acts as a mass of metal providing an additional heat sinh mass for carrying heat away from the interface.
  • the embodiment of FIGURE 4 can be manufactured by drilling holes in the form member l2 for the projections el to extend through, or the form member l2 can be cast around the heat sini; di).
  • FIGURES 5 and 6 illustrate another embodiment of the invention in which the core itself serves as the heat sink.
  • the core :itl is formed by winding a tapered strip of core material in spiral fashion about itself.
  • the radially inner end El of the strip is smaller than the outer end S2 and gradually increases in width until a predetermined point 53 is reached, after which the strip is of continuous width.
  • This arrangement provides a flat even upper surface 5d on the core Sti on which the winding contact surface i5 can be fabricated.
  • a predetermined minimum amo-unt of electrical insulation 55 is provided between the winding i3 and thc upper surface 534i of the core, so as to prevent electrical breakdown but permit good heat transfer therebetween.
  • FlGURE 7 illustrates a problem encountered in making prior art auto transformers in which no heat sink is employed, beneath the winding 13. ln fabricating the autotransformer, the wire 59 forming the winding i3 was coiled around the core lll after the insulating form l2 had been placed thereon. After this was done, an abrasive wheel di? was employed to remove insulation from the winding and to grind flat the upper surface of adjacent turns to produce the winding contact surface l5.
  • the dotted line dit illustrates what the orientation of the surface l5 would be, if the upper surface of the thickened portion lll which supports the wire SQ, were truly dat. However, it has been found that a high percentage of the form l2 slant or droop slightly at the outer circumference of the thickened portion ll so that they provide a supporting surface on which the wire 53 is wound that slants, as indicated by the dotted line 62.
  • FIGURE 8 the arrangement of parts is the same as in FIGURE 7 except that the form l2 has a groove ed therein for receiving the heat sink 3l).
  • the circumferentially outer end of the form l2 may droop or slant slightly, so that it deviates from a truly flat surface by the difference between the lines dll and d2, as in the prior are arrangement of FGURE 7.
  • the ring-like heat sink 3ft will seat itself in the groove as soon as one corner, such as 67', touches part of the groove.
  • the circular ring-like structure employed is very stiff, and consequently the heat sink Sil will not be deformed so as to conform to the contour of the groove rflierefore, ⁇ the wire 59 will be wound over the flat even surface d on the top of the heat sink in a plane substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal centroidal axis of the winding.
  • the abrasive wheel dll removes insulation and attens adjacent turns, it will cut evenly through the wire 59 and will not produce portions with greatly reduced cross-sectional areas as is the prior art arrangement in FIGURE 7.
