Definitions
- the second insulating step wherein the coil is actually dipped into an enamel bath, and thus becomes thoroughly impregnated, would be sufficient for the electrical insulation of the apparatus, but the first step has been heretofore considered necessary because of the fragile nature of glass fibers which would be abraded during the steps of reeling and unreeling the insulated wire and forming the coils if they were not protected by an enamel coating.
- I have invented a method whereby one of the enameling and baking operations is avoided with a concomitant saving in cost and in the atmospheric contamina tion that is inherent in large scale enameling operations.
- I draw a very long continuous length of wire to a prescribed cross-sectional area and shape such, usually, as round, square or rectangular, the latter two usually with rounded corners.
- I support a large plurality of continuous glass fibers adjacently positioned in substantially planer configuration and advance them through enamel coating apparatus where they are coated with a continuous enamel film. I then pass the coated fibers through a baking zone where the enamel is dried and possibly fused thus forming a wide band of longitudinally glass-fiber-reinforced enamel insulation.
- This band is then divided into a plurality of individual tapes which I helically wrap around a continuous bare length of wire to form an insulated conductor.
- the enamel may be applied to the fibers in solution or with the enamel free from solvent.
- An elongated insulated conductor of my invention of a length sufficient to wind a plurality of coils, comprises a metal wire, a first helical serving of tape directly covering the wire with a preselected direction of lay and a second serving of tape directly covering the first serving with an opposite direction of lay.
- These tapes comprise a plurality of continuous glass fibers laid parallel and are free from any crossing fibers. The parallel fibers are coated and bonded together with baked insulating enamel but the wire itself does not have any enamel adhered to it.
- the wire is covered with a layer of the tape, applied with approximately a percent overlap.
- FIG. 1 shows the steps in a method of my invention.
- FIG. 2 shows a pictorial view, partly unwrapped, of a conductor of my invention.
- FIG. 3 shows a pictorial view, partly unwrapped, of another conductor of my invention.
- FIG. 4 shows a pictorial view of tape used in the practice of my invention.
- FIG. 1 My improved method is illustrated in FIG. 1 wherein first I form a broad band 11 of insulating material from a very large plurality of glass fibers 12 in the form of untwisted yarn being paid from a large number of cops 13 under a roller guide 14 which supports the fibers 12 close together in parallel as they pass through a coating apparatus 16 wherein they are coated with an electrical insulating grade of enamel.
- the enamel to be used can be selected to meet the temperature rating and other conditions of service of the coil.
- Known types of enamel comprising polymers such as polyvinyl acetal, polyamide, silicone, polyamide-imide, polyimide, polyester, epoxy and blends and copolymers of these may be used within the scope of our invention.
- thermoset enamel may be applied to the fibers in solution by known methods such as flow coating and spraying and by solvent free methods such as methods where finely ground powder of the composition is held in water or air suspension.
- the coated fibers 12 pass through an oven 17 where the enamel is fused into a continuous film binding the fibers together to form the wide band I].
- solvent or a suspension medium is present, or decomposition products are given off in baking, they can be removed through an oven stack 18 and curing or vulcanization can be accomplished in the oven 17 when a thermoset enamel is used.
- the band 11 On leaving the oven 17, and being cooled, the band 11 passes over a large plurality of slitter blades 20 where it is slit into narrow tapes l9 taken up into pads 21.
- FIG. 4 An enlarged view of the tape 19 is shown in FIG. 4 wherein all the glass fibers are lying parallel with no fibers crossing over the others. This has an advantage of minimizing the tape thickness as well as assuring the complete surrounding of each fiber with enamel.
- These tapes are applied with a butt lap in both layers. Additional layers can, however, be applied where more insulation is required.
- a taping machine can be operated at a much higher through speed than an enameling oven for glass wrapped Wire since the baking step is no consideration. In the taping step, I have diagrammed the type of taping machine wherein pads of tape are rotated in planatary fashion around the wire.
- Taping machines whereby the wire passes through the pads, are also known and can be used in my method. Indeed, the tapes are not necessarily applied from pads but can have initially been wound on spools or cops and applied to the conductor by taping machines accommodating those packages.
- the wrapped wire constitutes an insulated conductor 28 which is taken up on a reel 29 which is removed to a coil forming site 31 which may be remote from the conductor making location, such as, for example, the factory of a customer of the conductor manufacturer.
- a coil forming site 31 which may be remote from the conductor making location, such as, for example, the factory of a customer of the conductor manufacturer.
- the conductor 28 is formed into a coil 32 by known types of coil making machines
- Coils 32 are dipped in an enameling tank 33 containing an enamel or varnish 34 that is compatible with the coating on the tapes 19. Indeed, it is advantageous for the enamel 34 to comprise the same polymer as the enamel on the tape, although a different more diluent solvent system may be used.
- the coils 32 are baked in an oven 35 in the final step of my method.
- the insulation applied in a single taping operation may be selected to have any desired thickness merely by the addition of tape layers.
- l have shown a rectangular wire 24 insulated with the two layers 26, 27 of the tapes 19 as applied by the apparatus 22.
- the servings shown are partially uncovered to illustrate the direction of wind.
- Both of the servings 26, 27 are butt lapped which means that the individual turns do not overlap and a slight spacing may be permitted between turns (negative butt lap) to allow the tapes to move together at the inside surface of an are formed by the wire in coiling.
- FIG. 1 the insulation applied in a single taping operation may be selected to have any desired thickness merely by the addition of tape layers.
- a single serving 37 of a tape 19 is applied with 50 percent overlap.
- additional butt-lapped servings can be applied to the conductor of FIG. 2 man overlapped serving, such as the serving 37, can be applied over the serving 27.
- Other serving combinations may also be used, my method thus providing for a large selection of constructions within the scope of my invention, the foregoing description of which has been exemplary rather than definitive and for which I desire an award of Letters Patent as defined in the following claims.
- An elongated insulated conductor for winding into coils, said conductor being of a length sufficient for winding a plurality of said coils comprising:
- said tape comprising a plurality of continuous glass fibers laid parallel and free from any crossing fibers and a coating of baked insulating enamel surrounding each of said fibers and bonding said fibers together, said wire being free from enamel adherent thereto.
- An elongated insulated conductor for winding into coils, said conductor being of a length sufficient for winding a plurality of said coils comprising:
- said tape comprising a plurality of continuous glass fibers laid parallel and free from any crossing fibers and a coating of baked insulating enamel surrounding each of said fibers and bonding said fibers together, said wire being free from enamel adherent thereto.
