DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a coil for a transformer, in particular a high-voltage transformer.
A known transformer (US-A-2775742) comprises a sleeve slit axially throughout and a wire winding with a winding start and a winding end arranged thereon. The sleeve protrudes on both sides thereof over the wire winding, and an electrically insulating casting compound is cast around the outside of sleeve and wire winding such that the upper and lower rims of the sleeve are exposed. The body formed by the casting compound is firmly connected to a connecting terminal 11 connected to the winding end and is provided on the outside thereof with an electrically conductive casing. The electrically conductive casing is electrically conductively connected to the sleeve.
In the manufacture of this known coil, two slit sleeve parts are subsequently pushed with their end faces into a separate insulating coil body onto which the wire winding has previously been wound.
The object of the invention is to manufacture a coil of the given kind in a simpler way and using a smaller number of individual parts.
The object is accomplished in accordance with the invention by the characterizing features of the patent claim. Owing to the wire winding being directly wound onto the slit sleeve, a separate coil body can be dispensed with. The winding start is fixed and stabilized by the electrically conductive connection of the winding start with the sleeve. The slit sleeve is made of one part and is robust and is easily connectable to a connecting terminal or the like. With windings made of thin wire, there is, therefore, no danger of the start of the winding breaking off when it is connected to a connecting terminal or the like. The same applies to the wire end. The electrically conductive casing of the casting compound prevents corona discharges when the coil is used in a high-voltage transformer.
The following description of a preferred embodiment serves in conjunction with the appended drawings to explain the invention in further detail. The drawings show:
FIG. 1 a coil for a transformer; and
FIG. 2 the coil of FIG. 1 embedded in a casting compound.
The coil illustrated in FIG. 1 is intended for a transformer, in particular a high-voltage transformer. It is wound from relatively thin wire having, for example, a diameter of approximately 0.5 mm. The wire is enamel-insulated and provided with a thermoplastic sheath so that the sheaths of adjacent windings can become "bonded" to one another in a manner known per se when heat is applied, in order to impart more internal stability to the winding as a whole.
As illustrated, the coil 1 comprises an inner winding body in the form of a circular-cylindrical sleeve 2 with a continuous slit 3 extending axially. The sleeve 2 consists of a non-magnetic metal, preferably . . . consists of a non-magnetic metal, preferably copper, silver or an alloy of these metals. The slit 3 prevents the occurrence of eddy currents in the manufactured coil. After completion of the coil, the winding body 2 can be pushed in a known manner onto the core part of a transformer. A projection 4 protrudes integrally from a rim of the sleeve 2.
A wire winding 5 with a winding start 6 and a winding end 7 is arranged on the winding body formed by the sleeve 2. The winding start 6 is electrically conductively connected to the metallic sleeve 7, for example, by soldering before commencement of the winding. This connecting procedure can be easily carried out in such a way that the winding start 6 does not break off. If the winding start should break off, the connecting procedure can be easily repeated. As illustrated, the sleeve 2 protrudes in the region of its rims on both sides beyond the wire winding 5.
The sleeve 2 provided with the wire winding 5 is then inserted in a known manner in a cubic or block-shaped casting mold and a casting compound 8, for example, an epoxy or polyurethane resin is cast around it. When the coil 1 is inserted in the casting mold (not illustrated) the sleeve 2 rests with its bott
