Armature Winding Balance via Segmented Double Flyer Design
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing armature winding methods face challenges in achieving rotational balance due to weight imbalances caused by differences in conductive wire weights used in windings, leading to vibrations during rotation, and require additional steps or tools for correction.
Innovation Solution
The armature is designed with windings divided into two groups wound at equal angular intervals without overlapping, using a double flyer armature winding machine to distribute weight evenly, ensuring the center of mass aligns with the rotational center, thereby eliminating the need for corrective materials or tools.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If the number of turns of each winding is adjusted to achieve weight balance, then the rotational balance is improved, but magnetic unbalance occurs due to difference in number of turns
Solution Approach 1:
The windings are divided into two distinct groups: a first winding group where windings are arranged without overlapping at equal angular intervals, and a second winding group where windings are also arranged without overlapping at equal angular intervals. This segmentation allows each group to contribute equally to weight balance while maintaining uniform magnetic distribution across all windings.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs an asymmetric winding arrangement where the first and second winding groups are positioned at different angular locations around the armature core. This asymmetric distribution, combined with the equal angular spacing within each group, achieves overall weight balance while preventing magnetic unbalance through proper spatial arrangement.
2Stability of the object's composition
If corrective material is applied or armature core is cut to adjust weight balance, then rotational balance is improved, but device complexity increases due to additional steps and tools
Solution Approach 1:
The winding arrangement is designed in advance to inherently achieve weight balance. By pre-configuring the first and second winding groups with equal angular intervals and non-overlapping arrangements, the patent eliminates the need for post-winding corrective actions such as adding corrective material or cutting the armature core.
Solution Approach 2:
The winding structure itself serves the dual function of electrical connection and weight balancing. The symmetric distribution of the first and second winding groups automatically achieves rotational balance without requiring external corrective materials or dedicated balancing tools, making the system self-sufficient.

AI summary
A total number of windings in an armature is an even number. The windings are divided into a first winding group and a second winding group. The windings of the first winding group are arranged one after another at generally equal angular intervals without overlapping with each other. The windings of the second winding group are arranged one after another at generally equal angular intervals without overlapping with each other and are wound separately from the windings of the first winding group.
