ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of the Invention
The invention relates to a resolver, for example resolvers or synchro devices, with a primary winding and a secondary winding, each of which are wound on a winding core comprising several core plates laminated to each other, wherein the core plates each have several winding spaces with winding openings which are larger than the diameter of the winding wire used. 2. Description of the Related Art
Such a resolver is known from the article by Hans Logé “Hohlwellendrehmeter: neue Komponenten der Servotechnik” [Hollow Shaft Resolvers: Novel Components of servo Technology] in the German Magazine Siemens Components 30 (1992), issue 2, pp. 57 to 60.
In principle, such a resolver is a rotating transformer, whose output voltage has a clear correlation with the position of its shaft. Therefore resolvers are suitable as absolute angle sensors with a range of rotation of 360°.
The structure of such a resolver is shown in a sectional representation in FIG.
2
. The rotor
1
has a primary winding wire
2
and the stator
4
a secondary winding wire
5
: these constitute the transformer. The primary winding wire
2
, and secondary winding wire
5
, are wound on core plate package
3
, and core plate package
6
, whose relative arrangement with respect to each other is shown in a front view in FIG.
3
. Here, winding openings
8
with winding spaces
7
for the primary winding wire
2
are arranged on the core plate package
3
of the rotor
1
in the outer core plate area, and winding openings
10
with secondary winding spaces
9
for the winding wire sore arranged in the inner core plate area on the core plate package
6
of the stator
4
.
Such winding openings with winding spaces for the winding wire are evenly arranged on the outer, or respectively inner circumference of the respective core plate package.
As shown in
FIGS. 4
a-c
individual core plates are glued together into a core plate package in such a way, that the total winding opening of a core plate package resulting from a superimposition of the winding openings is provided straight or obliquely. Thus, the individual core plates are exactly aligned in the same position one above the other, or slightly rotated in respect to each other. In this case it is necessary to take care that a problem-free insertion of the winding wire into the winding spaces through the remaining total winding opening is still possible. If the winding cores for the rotor
1
and the stator
4
are laminated in this way to form a core plate package from several core plates, the winding wire is placed into the winding spaces exclusively by an automated device. A view of the core plates, which have been placed exactly on top of each other and laminated, of the core plate package
3
of the rotor
1
with resulting total winding openings
11
is represented in
FIG. 4
b
. A core plate package
3
of the rotor
1
with core plates, which are slightly rotated in respect to each other, and oblique total winding openings
12
resulting therefrom, are represented in
FIG. 4
c
. The rotation of the individual core plates of a core plate package can only take place to the extent that the total winding openings
12
still allow the problem-free insertion of the winding wire into the winding spaces. It follows from this that, for a greater rotation of the individual core plates in relation to each other, respectively larger winding openings must be provided in the individual core plates. This is not desirable because of the unfavorable properties of the winding openings, Therefore such resolvers must be designed as a compromise between the rotation of the individual core plates in relation to each other and the total winding openings.
Parameters important for determining the quality of such a resolver are the number of the winding openings and winding spaces in the core plate package of the stator
4
and the rotor
1
, and the width of the total winding openings predetermined by the diameter of the winding wire.
The quality of a resolver is determined by the angular deviations and the harmonic portions of the signals generated by it. The smallest possible angular deviations as well as the least amount of harmonic portions are desired.
The angular deviation and the harmonic portions of a resolver constructed in accordance with
FIG. 4
b
, which has
24
winding openings
10
and winding spaces
9
in the core plate package of the stator,
4
and
20
winding openings
8
and winding spaces
7
in the one of the rotor
1
(a so-called
24
/
20
resolver), is represented in
FIG. 5
a
. As in
FIGS. 5
b
to
5
d
for other configurations, here the angular deviation along with the twisting angle of the rotor
1
in relation to the stator
4
is represented on the X axis in the left part, and the measured deviation on the Y axis, It can be seen that a maximum deviation of approximately 12.5° exists. On the right side of this drawing figure the harmonic portions with the number of the harmonic are entered on the X axis, and its amplitude on the Y axis. It can be seen that the harmonic portions are only present in a very attenuated way. Here, maximum amplitudes are clearly below 10 dB.
Since it is desired to produce resolvers of smaller size, the previously mentioned
24
/
20
configuration of a resolver is not always possible, since not enough space is provided in the winding core for the
24
, or winding openings
8
and winding spaces
7
of the primary winding wire
2
, or the
20
winding openings
10
and windings spaces
9
of the secondary winding wire
5
. The following remarks, as well as the following description of an exemplary embodiment in accordance with the invention relate to a
16
/
12
resolver, i.e. a resolver with
16
winding openings
10
and winding spaces
9
in the core plate package of the stator
4
and
12
winding openings
8
with winding spaces in the one of the rotor
1
.
The angular deviation and the harmonic portions of such a resolver, whose core plates have been arranged in a core plate package as represented by way of example in
FIG. 4
b
, are represented in
FIG. 5
b
. It can be seen that with a reduced angular deviation a strong peak occurs in the 48th harmonic, whose amplitude clearly lies above 20 dB. Based on these results it is; possible to conclude that a dependable evaluation of the angle is; not possible.
To reduce the amplitudes of the higher harmonics, in particular of the 48th harmonic, it is known to slightly turn the individual core plates of a core plate package in relation to each other prior to lamination, such as is shown by way of example in
FIG. 4
c
for the core plate package for a rotor winding. The angular deviation, along with the associated harmonic portion, represented in
FIG. 5
c
resulted for such a core plate package. It can be clearly seen that the angular deviation lies at peaks above. 15°, but the amplitude of the 48th harmonic only between 12.5 and 15 dB. However, the harmonics approximately starting at the 80th harmonic are clearly stronger than in the previously described embodiments. In connection with the rotation of the individual core plates in respect to each other before they are laminated into a core plate package, it is necessary to take into consideration that the winding opening
12
of the core extending over all core plates is greater than the diameter of the winding wire used, so that the latter can be placed without problems through a respective total winding opening
12
into the respective winding space. The limits of the possible rotation of the individual core plates in respect to each other result from this.
An object and advantage of the present invention is therefore based on generating the magnetic flux of a resolver with reduced fluctuations and in this way to obtain a resolver, whose signals are low in harmonics.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with the invention, this object and advantages are attained by means of a resolver having a primary winding and a secondary winding, which respectively are wound on
