Abstract

A technique for making a stator for an electric motor or similar machine includes disposing a plurality of concentric coils in a stator core such that leads exit both ends of the stator core. The coils are disposed in accordance with a winding pattern that is particularly suited for making four-pole, three-phase machines. Certain of the coils are disposed singularly within core slots, while other coils share slots with coils of other winding groups. The coils may be inserted by machine, and in several layers by rotating the stator core between each layer insertion.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A method for making a stator, the method comprising: 
 installing first and third sets of concentric coil groups in a stator core, whereby leads of the first and third sets of concentric coils exit the first end of the stator core; and    installing a second and fourth sets of concentric coil groups in the stator core, whereby leads of the second and fourth sets of concentric coils exit the second end of the stator core.    
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the first and third sets of concentric coil groups are installed through the first end, and the second and fourth sets of concentric coil groups are installed through the second end.  
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the stator core is rotated between the installation of the first and third coil group sets and installation of the second and fourth coil group sets.  
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein the stator core is rotated between installation of the first and second coil group sets, between installation of the second and third coil group sets, and between installation of the third and fourth coil group sets.  
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein at least one coil of the second and fourth coil group sets is installed over a coil of the first and third coil group sets in respective slots of the stator core.  
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 5 , wherein at least one coil of each coil group set is installed singularly within a respective slot of the stator core.  
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the coil groups define a four-pole, three-phase stator.  
     
     
         8 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the coil groups are disposed in an order of A1, B4, C2, A3, B1, C4, A2, B3, C1, A4, B2, and C3, where A, B and C represent alternating current phases, and 1, 2, 3 and 4 represent coil groups of the first, second, third and fourth sets, respectively.  
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the stator core includes 72 slots and each coil group includes 4 coils.  
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 2 , wherein the coil groups are installed in accordance with the following distribution:

         11 . A method for making a stator, the method comprising: 
 installing a plurality of concentric coil groups in slots of a stator core such that the coil groups are disposed in an order of A1, B4, C2, A3, B1, C4, A2, B3, C1, A4, B2, and C3, where A, B and C represent alternating current phases, and 1, 2, 3 and 4 represent coil groups of the first, second, third and fourth sets, respectively, and wherein groups A1, B4, C2, A2, B3 and C1 are installed through a first end of the stator core whereby coil leads of each group exit the stator core through the first end, and groups A3, B1, C4, A4, B2 and C3 are installed through a second end of the stator core whereby coil leads of each group exit the stator core through the second end.    
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein at least one coil of a coil group set is disposed singularly within a respective slot of the stator core.  
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the stator core is rotated between installation of the first and second coil group sets.  
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the stator core is related between installation of the second and third coil group sets  
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the stator core is rotated between installation of the third and fourth coil group sets.  
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein at least one coil of coil groups A1 and C2 are disposed in the same slot, C2 and B1 are disposed in the same slots B1 and A2 are disposed in the same slot, A2 and C1 are disposed in the same slot, C1 and B2 are disposed in the same slot, and B2 and A1 are disposed in the same slot.  
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the stator core includes 72 slots and each coil group includes 4 coils.  
     
     
         18 . A method for making a stator, the stator having a plurality of slots, the comprising installing the coil groups in accordance with the following distribution:
