Abstract

An arrangement includes a coil-winding-tool to guide a metallic conductor for the forming of a part of the single-layer-coil. The coil-winding-tool is mounted to rotate around a first axis of rotation for the forming of the part of the coil. A conductor-feeding-drum carries the metallic conductor and is designed to hand over the metallic-conductor to the coil-winding-tool for forming. The conductor-feeding-drum is carried by a fixture. The fixture is mounted to rotate around a second axis of rotation, to allow a rotation of the conductor-feeding-drum around the second axis too. The first axis of rotation of the coil-winding-tool is perpendicular to the second axis of rotation of the conductor-feeding-drum, to allow the execution of the winding by the rotation of the coil-winding-tool and by the rotation of the conductor-feeding-drum.

Claims (31)

1. An arrangement for winding a single-layer-coil, comprising:

a mounted coil-winding-tool rotatable around a first axis of rotation and including a plurality of guides to guide a metallic conductor for the forming of at least a part of the single-layer-coil;

a fixture rotatable around a second axis of rotation, which is perpendicular to the first axis of rotation; and

a conductor-feeding-drum feeds the metallic conductor to the mounted coil winding-tool, the conductor-feeding-drum is arranged on the fixture to allow a rotation of the conductor-feeding-drum around the second axis,

wherein a bracket is attached to the fixture, and

wherein the conductor-feeding-drum is arranged on the fixture via the bracket.

2. The arrangement according to claim 1 ,

wherein the coil-winding-tool includes a longitudinal axis, which is perpendicular to the first axis of rotation of the coil-winding-tool.

3. The arrangement according to claim 1 ,

wherein a tensioning device or a brake is coupled with the conductor-feeding-drum to keep the metallic conductor taut while the metallic conductor is feed to the mounted coil-winding-tool.

4. A method for winding a single-layer-coil,

providing an arrangement for winding a single-layer-coil according to claim 1

feeding, by the conductor-feeding drum, a metallic conductor to the coil winding tool, which is rotatable around a first axis of rotation;

guiding the feed metallic conductor via a guide on the coil winding tool;

actively turning the coil-winding-tool around the first axis of rotation by a first arc in a first direction thereby forming a first side of the single-layer coil and forming, at a first end, a first part of an out-of-plane end-winding of the coil; and

actively turning the conductor-feeding-drum around a second axis of rotation via a second arc after the forming of the first part of the out-of-plane end-winding thereby forming a second part of the out-of-plane end-winding of the coil.

5. The method according to claim 4 , further comprising passively adjusting the conductor feeding drum by rotation around a third axis of rotation, which is parallel to the second axis of rotation.

6. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising actively turning, after the forming of the second part of the out-of-plane end-winding of the coil, the coil-winding-tool around the first axis of rotation via a third arc in a second direction, which is opposite from the first direction.

7. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising actively turning, after turning the coil-winding-tool around the first axis of rotation via a third arc, the coil-winding-tool around the first axis of rotation by a fourth arc in the first direction thereby forming a second side of the coil.

8. The method according to claim 7 , further comprising actively, after forming the second side of the coil, turning the coil-winding-tool around the first axis of rotation through a fifth arc in the second direction thereby forming a first part of the out-of-plane end-winding at a second end which is opposite of the first end.

9. The method according to claim 8 , further comprising actively turning the conductor-feeding-drum via the fixture around the second axis of rotation through a sixth arc thereby forming a second part of the out-of-plane end-winding of the opposite end.

10. The method according to claim 9 , further comprising actively turning the conductor-feeding-drum via the fixture around the second axis of rotation through a sixth arc thereby forming a second part of the out-of-plane end-winding of the opposite end.

11. The arrangement according to claim 1 ,

wherein the mounted coil-winding-tool rotatable is mounted in such a way to be only rotatable around the first axis of rotation.

12. An arrangement for winding a single-layer-coil, comprising:

a mounted coil-winding-tool rotatable around a first axis of rotation and including a plurality of guides to guide a metallic conductor for the forming of at least a part of the single-layer-coil;

a fixture rotatable around a second axis of rotation, which is perpendicular to the first axis of rotation; and

a conductor-feeding-drum feeds the metallic conductor to the mounted coil winding-tool, the conductor-feeding-drum is arranged on the fixture to allow a rotation of the conductor-feeding-drum around the second axis,

wherein a bracket is attached to the fixture,

wherein the conductor-feeding-drum is arranged on the fixture via the bracket, and

wherein the bracket is attached to the fixture rotate around a third axis of rotation, which is parallel to the second axis of rotation in order to accommodate requirements of the geometry of the coil-winding-tool.
