APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MOUNTING WINDINGS ON A STATOR CORE

摘要

An apparatus for installing a wire pack on a stator core. A wire pack is placed on a wire drum of the apparatus. The wire drum is rotated in cooperation with a series of transfer members. The wire pack is transferred to the transfer members on an individual slot segment basis. The slot members rotate about a central axis of the stator core and pick the wire pack from the wire drum at an axially spaced distance from the stator core. The transfer members form the wire pack into a partially spiral shape as the wire pack is rotated and axially translated by the transfer members. The transfer members position the wire pack within the central opening of the stator core. The wire pack is removed from the transfer members and inserted into the slots of the stator core on an individual slot basis. Alternatively, the wire pack may be installed into a small number of slots simultaneously.
