Title: Improvements in Alternating Current Induction Motors.
Filed: 1903-09-16
Granted: 1904-07-21
Abstract: 19,948. Hunt, L. J., and Sandyeroft Foundry Co. Sept. 16. Motors, alternating-current; armatures.-Relates to the starting of asynchronous induction motors on load with resistance in the secondary circuit, the running being continued without such resistanc3 and without the use of sliding contacts &c. The stator is adapted to have the number of its poles changed, and the squirrel-cage winding has its bars short-circuited by a ring &c. connection of high resistance ; cross-connections are also provided which join points of equi-potential at starting, but which, on the change in the number of poles, serve to short-circuit the high-resistance connections. Figs. 1 and 2 show one construction of rotor. The conductors B of the rotor A are shortcircuited by a ring D of conducting-material (copper) and a ring C of high resistance (manganese copper). The cross-connections E are arranged to join equi-potential points at starting, the stator having, say, four poles. On changing the poles to, say, six, this state is changed, and the connections E short-circuit the resistance C. When the number of poles is not divisible by an odd number, the cross-connections must embrace a corresponding number of or portions of the poles. In modified arrangements, both rings C, D may be of high resistance, and the cross-connections E arranged in connection with both. In another modification, the squirrel-cage can be employed without cross-connections, additional cross-connected windings in the same or other slots being provided. The stator may have separate starting- windings, or be otherwise arranged to provide the required number of poles. Instead of connecting the rotor conductors by rings, they may be connected by strips to a central hub, or a hub may be fitted at one end and a ring at the other.

Openers, scutchers, &c.-In openers of the type described in Specification No. 1111, A.D. 1875, in which the cotton from the beater a, Fig. 1, passes along a passage c provided with cleaning-bars d to the cages 40, means are provided for raising and lowering the frame of bars and for independently adjusting the covering-plates. The ends of the grate of bars rest upon discs secured eccentrically to two transverse shafts ; by rotating these shafts, the inclination of the frame or grating can be adjusted. Combined with this arrangement, may be provided the means shown in Fig. 1 for raising and lowering the covering-plates e,f hinged together at g. This is effected by hand-levers m, r, operating shafts j, q to which are keyed arms h, s pivotally connected to the plate e ; f is a flap which accommodates itself to the movements of the plate e. Another part of the invention is applicable to many kinds of opening, scutching, and lap machines, and consists in providing means for oscillating the cleaning-bars over which the cotton passes. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 10, the cleaning-bars 12 are oscillated in a direction parallel with the path of the cotton. The bars are carried by arms 29 pivoted to a lever 25 keyed to a shaft 26, to which is also fixed a weighted lever 30. The ratchet-wheel 22 forces the bar 24 to the right till the pawl 23 is pushed out of engagement, when the weight 27 pulls it back to the left. By raising the edge 34 of the hinged plate 31, a current of air is drawn over the cleaning-bars and helps to carry the cotton to the cages. An arrangement is also described in which the cleaning-bars are oscillated transversely to the path of the cotton by means of a continuously-rotating crank shaft. A further part of the invention is illustrated in Figs. 5 and 7, and relates to means for adjusting the inclination of the air bars, situated at the beater end of the passage, so as to regulate the amount of air passing through the passage to the cages. The air bars 2 are supported by pivots 3 turning in blocks 4 adjustably secured in slots 5 in the frame of the machine. On squared parts of the pins 3 are secured levers 8, the other ends of which are pivoted to a bar 9 capable of sliding vertically in slots 11.
