<p>In a method of winding a multiple layer tapped electrical inductor coil (see Division H1) wire 26 (Figs. 7 and 9, not shown) is fed by traversing guide 30 to a rotating spool 20 and when a predetermined number of turns have been wound on the spool, rotation of the spool is lowed and then stopped, the guide 30 being moved to an end position adjacent terminal strips 24 carrying a number of L-shaped terminal posts 25. The guide 30 is next indexed in the transverse direction to any desired predetermined terminal peg 25b and rotated thereabout to provide a tapping for the coil. The guide 30 may then be returned to the normal traversing position and winding on the spool continued or alternatively the guide may first be indexed to a further terminal peg, rotated about it, and then returned to the normal spool winding and traversing position. In a machine (Fig. 1, not shown) for winding a number of identical spools 20 mounted at accurately spaced intervals by means of spacer members on a spindle 31 the spools are fed with wire by an equal number of wire guides 30 which are rigidly mounted on a frame 42. The latter reciprocates during the spool winding step on a traversing shaft 43 under the action of a rotary face-cam 53 which is retracted by an air cylinder 65 when the desired number of turns has been wound. The frame 42 with wire guides 30 then moves to the spool-end position under the action of spring 52 against a stop 69. Transverse movement of the frame 42 to bring the guides 30 adjacent the desired terminal posts on the spool flanges can be effected by reason of the fact that the support 45 on which the shaft 43 and frame 42 are mounted is slidable in the transverse direction on a base plate 46. The transverse movement is effected by an indexing cam 80 (Figs. 2 and 4, not shown) the profile of which determines the extent of this movement and therefore selects the terminal about which the tapping connection is to be made. Base plate 46 is mounted on four pillars 91 having universal coupling connections to the plate so that it may be gyrated by eccentric cams 100 thus causing all the wire guides 30 to rotate about the terminal pegs selected for the tapping. Electronic counting means are provided to count the revolutions of the spindle 31 and to control the speed of a high and low-speed driving motor 34 in order that rotation of the spools should be arrested accurately after the required number of turns has been wound and stop means 111, 112, 116, 117 (Fig. 3, not shown) are provided to ensure that the spool is arrested with the terminal pegs in a vertical position. Means are also provided to orientate the face cam 53 after retraction so that when returned to the operating position i.e. for resumption of winding on the spool, the guides 30 commence operation from the end position adjacent the spool flange bearing the terminal pegs.</p> |
