Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a commutator for electrical machines.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a method which can be implemented easily and cheaply and which requires the use of materials which are inexpensive and easily-obtained.
  • the method according to the invention provides for a strip of electrically-conducting material, typically metal, such as copper in particular, as the starting material.
  • This strip can be obtained, for example from a coil, suitably straightened.
  • the strip 1 is subjected to a plastic deformation step (coining) so as to form therein (Figure 2) a plurality of parallel grooves 2 between which a corresponding plurality of equally-spaced transverse segments 3 is defined, the segments being interconnected on a principal face of the strip by thinner integral connecting bridges 4.
  • a loop 5 and a tongue 6 are advantageously formed by an incision step in the top face of each segment 3, projecting from the surface of this face ( Figure 3).
  • the strip 1 is cut into portions each of which includes a number of transverse segments 3 equal to the desired number of bars of the commutator to be produced.
  • Each portion of strip thus produced is then bent so as to form a ring 7 ( Figure 4) with the segments 3 spaced equiangularly.
  • the connecting bridges 4 extend on the periphery of the ring 7 and the loops or hooks 5 and tongues 6 extend radially inwardly of the ring (see also Figure 5).
  • end portions of the segments 3 are bent radially outwardly as can be seen in Figures 6 and 7, possibly after preliminary partial cutting of the connecting bridges 4.
  • the bent ends 3a of the segments 3 of the ring are then cut and opened out so as to form a corresponding plurality of essentially coplanar forks 8.
  • the ring 7 is then incorporated in an electrically-insulating plastics material, for example, by injection moulding.
  • the electrically-insulating material indicated 9 in Figures 10 and 11, extends particularly into the grooves or spaces 2 defined between adjacent segments 3 of the ring.
  • the moulded insulating material, together with the ring 7, forms a monolithic annular structure with a central axial duct 10, the axis of which coincides with the axis of the ring 7 (see Figures 10 and 11).
  • the insulating material is advantageously but not necessarily moulded so as also to fill the spaces defined between adjacent forks 8 of the ring 7 as well as between the prongs of the forks ( Figure 10).
  • the hooks 5 and the tongues 6 of the segments 3 of the ring 7 advantageously act as elements for anchoring the segments firmly in the structure of moulded plastics material.
  • the surface of the ring thus produced is then machined with the removal of material, for example, by turning, to give the ring 11 a perfectly smooth outer surface.
  • this machining also removes the connecting bridges 4 so that, upon completion of the machining, the segments 3 are separated and are electrically-insulated from one another.
  • Recesses 13 are hollowed out in the forks 8, also by further machining with the removal of material (Figure 12), to act as seats for the anchorage of the terminals of the windings of the electrical machine for which the commutator is intended.
  • Figures 12 and 13 thus show the final appearance of the commutator upon completion of the method described above.
