FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a spool, a brake and an electric motor.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION Certain bobbins for spools wound with winding wires are conventional.
A brake coil having a center tap (FIG. 4, reference numeral 6) is described in German Published Patent Application No. 36 13 294, which is usable as a brake for an electric motor. It is a disadvantage, in this case, that manufacturing it is effortful and costly. It is important, in this context, that each additional contact of the winding wire causes effort and costs during manufacturing.
The connecting of wire is described in German Published Patent Application No. 79 23 585, the winding wire of the spool having to be wound around the pin-shaped end several times (�wind around� page 4, 3rd paragraph, lines 4-5) and then soldered on. This requires too much effort and is costly.
A hook on a connecting piece is described in German Published Patent Application No. 34 07 758, which is provided to guard against pulling out (E2, page 9, line 11). It is a disadvantage, again, that connecting the winding wire requires much effort and is complicated.
SUMMARY Example embodiments of the present invention may provide a spool so as to make it more cost-effective and simpler to manufacture, especially including contacting. This also relates particularly to spools having a plurality of taps, especially at least one center tap.
The spool may include at least one bobbin and one winding wire, e.g., a winding wire lacquered or enameled for electrical insulation, the bobbin including at least one channel, e.g., one developed as a pocket, at least one sleeve, bush or bushing being electrically connected to the winding wire, the sleeve being electrically connected to an electrical line, e.g., a stranded conductor of a cable, the sleeve including deformable regions, for producing the electrical connections, a respectively deformable region being deformable such that a force-locking connection is provided and welding is able to be carried out.
The sleeve may make possible a cost-effective type of electrical connection. For example, the sleeve itself is able to be produced as a cost-effective punched bent component made of sheet metal. Since it has deformable regions, using these regions, winding wire sections or stranded conductor sections are able to be clamped, that is, able to be connected by force-locking. Welded joints are then able to be produced by appropriate heating. Using additional deformable regions, other parts of the cable are also able to be clamped, which makes strain relief implementable for the cable having the stranded conductor.
The sleeve may include at least one first support region which is provided as support and/or guidance for the winding wire, the sleeve including at least one second region, arranged as a tab, which is deformable for the force-locking connection to the winding wire and is providable for producing a welded joint to the winding wire, the sleeve including at least one third region, e.g., a wall part region, which is provided for a welded joint to the stranded conductor of a cable.
The winding wire may be easy to thread in and then may lie on the support surface, that is, it is able to be accurately positioned. In this manner, the threading is able to be carried out so well by the shaping of the sleeve that the winding wire is introduced into the second region, that is, the region of the deformable tab. The latter is deformable, that is, it is particularly easily pressed against a wall part for clamping, that is, the force-locking connection of the winding wire to the sleeve. But then, the clamped winding wire is able to be quickly and simply welded. The welded joint is well protected against stressing forces, because the force-locking connection continues to be effective, and thus unloads the welded joint.
Since the sleeve has an additional region for a welded joint to the stranded conductor of the cable, at the sleeve itself, a stable region is realized that is suitable for a welded joint, and consequently no further additional parts are required for the welded joint of the stranded conductor of the cable.
The sleeve may be a metallic punched bent component. For example, the sleeve may be suitably provided for producing an electrical connection between the winding wire and the electrical line or a stranded conductor. This may provide that a conductive metal and a metal that is especially suitable for producing a welded joint may be selected, and which is also cost-effective and is able to be manufactured by a punching and bending process.
The sleeve may be able to be fastened in the bobbin with force-locking and/or form-locking. For example, the sleeve may include at least one barb, especially for hooking into the channel. This may provide that the fastening is able to be achieved simply and cost-effectively.
The sleeve may include at least one first region, especially a region developed as a tab, which is provided as a support and/or guidance for the winding wire. This may provide that manufacturing faults may be minimized, since the winding wire is able to be positioned securely and reproducibly, with great accuracy.
The sleeve may include at least one second region, especially a region designed as a tab, which is deformable for the force-locking connection to the winding wire and is providable for producing a welded joint to the winding wire. This may provide that a good electrical connection is providable, simply and cost-effectively.
The sleeve may include at least one third region, especially a region designed as a tab, which is deformable for the force-locking connection to a stranded connector, especially of a cable, and is providable for producing a welded joint to the stranded connector. This may provide that a good electrical connection is providable, simply and cost-effectively.
The sleeve may include at least one fourth region, especially a region designed as a tab, which is deformable for the force-locking connection to a cable, e.g., to the insulation of the cable, and is providable for producing a welded joint to the stranded connector. This may provide that a strain relief is providable, simply and cost-effectively.
The lacquering of the winding wire may be removable when producing a welded joint at least in the vicinity of the electrical contact area, e.g., because of the heating that occurs during the production of the welded joint. This may provide that no special stripping operating step is required, but just the welding may be sufficient.
The regions may be connected at a wall part. This may provide that the regions are able to be held together in a stable manner, using the wall part.
The spool may include a center tap. This may provide for being able to realize particularly rapidly switchable brakes.
The spool may include encapsulating material, e.g., in the area of the channel and/or the winding. This may provide that chemical and mechanical protection is achievable. Besides that, the electrical insulating values are also able to be improved, in response to a suitable choice of the encapsulating material.
The bobbin may include a holding device for winding wire and/or cable. This may provide that the holding device is able to be produced already at the injection molding production of the bobbin, and thus no further operation may be required.
With regard to the brake, the brake coil may be arranged in the manner of the above-named spool. Thus, a cost-effective brake coil may be able to be implemented even having a center tap. Three sleeves are required for the center tap, using which, stranded connector at the beginning, in the middle and at the end of the winding of the spool, that is executed using winding wire, is tapped.
An electric motor may include a brake having a brake coil or a spool as described above. This may provide that the electric motor is able to be manufactured with low effort and costs, and a high degree of automation may be able to be achieved in the manufacturing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION FIG. 1 illustrates a bobbin 2. It may be able to be made as a plastic injection-molded part, and has a holding device 7 as fastening for an outgoing cable.
FIG. 2 illustrates three sleeves 1, which are able to be introduced into the bobbin at three places on the circumference.
The construction of sleeves 1 are illustrated in FIGS. 12 and 13.
FIG. 3 illustrates a cable 3, including electrically conductive stranded conductor and insulation, which is able to be introduced into the lower part of sleeve 1, before the latter is inserted into the bobbin.
FIG. 4 illustrates three cables 3, which are connected to corresponding sleeves 1 before the latter are introduced into bobbin 1.
FIG. 5 illustrates cable 3 connected to sleeve 1, FIG. 12 illustrating sleeve 1 by itself, without the cable, in an enlarged version. The left bent part 25 is deformed such that the insulation of sleeve 1 is fixed, and thus a strain relief is provided for the right part of the cable. Right bent part 20 is connected to the stranded conductor of cable 3 in an electrically conductive manner, e.g., in welded form.
FIG. 6 illustrates bobbin 2, sleeves 1 connected to the cables being introduced.
FIG. 7 illustrates channel 4, into which sleeves 1 are pushed in, in a clearer manner. Channel 4 is arranged as a pocket.
FIG. 8, just as FIG. 7, illustrates the pushed-in sleeves, the cables being guided through the eyelet of holding device 7.
FIG. 9 illustrates a holding device 6 for fixing a first end of a winding wire 5, which is guided over the sleeve and lies on tabs 24 of sleeve 1, FIG. 12 illustrating sleeve 1 enlarged by itself without cable.
FIG. 10 illustrates a winding wire 5 guided via sleeve 1.
FIG. 11 illustrates sleeve 1 in the state in which it is pushed into the bobbin.
In FIG. 12, the sleeve is illustrated larger than in FIG. 13 a. The sleeve is arranged as a punched bent component, and has a wall part 23, arranged as a third or fourth region, from which a tab 22 is bent away.
Regions having barbs 21 and additional tabs 24 are arranged to the right and left, and are also bent away. At the lower end of wall part 23, there are arranged as a right tab 20, arranged as a second region, and a left tab 25, arranged as a first region, and again they are bent away.
FIG. 13 b illustrates what the bending state is of tabs 20, 25 when a cable with its insulation is introduced coming from the left, and the insulation is fixed using left tab 25. This fixing has the effect of strain relief for the stripped, right end part of the cable, that is, the bare stranded conductor. This stranded conductor piece is pressed together using tab 20 and is then electrically welded. This consequently creates a very good conductive connection of the stranded conductor to the sleeve, which bears large mechanical stresses because of the strain relief.
FIG. 13 c illustrates the bending state of tab 22, which fixes the winding wire and to which the winding wire is welded.
By contrast to FIG. 13 b, FIG. 13 d illustrates the cable introduction from the right, tab 20 being consequently less bent for fixing the cable having insulation, and tab 25 being more strongly bent for fixing the stranded conductor of the stripped end piece of the cable.
FIGS. 14 a and 14 b illustrate bobbin 2 in different orientations, channel 4 arranged as a pocket being illustrated, and slot 9 for the introduction of the winding wire also being illustrated. The winding wire is then wound, and at the end is guided via a corner and sleeve 1 to holding device 6, as is illustrated in FIG. 9.
Holding device 6 may also be omitted on the bobbin and instead be provided on the tool.
The channel may be encapsulated at the end of the manufacturing process using an encapsulating compound. Consequently, one is able to achieve both mechanical and chemical protection for the spool winding.
The spool is able to be provided, e.g., as a brake coil of an electromagnetically operable brake. This brake may be used in, and integrated into an electric motor.
A refinement is illustrated in FIGS. 15 to 27.
FIG. 15 illustrates sleeve 101 having wall part 123. Tabs 124 have positioning functions for the winding wire. Winding wire 105 is held between wall part 123 and tabs 124. In this context, it lies upon support surfaces 125 for winding wire. In the process, the winding wire is pressed by tab 122 against wall part 123, and is there able to be welded, so as to produce the electrical connection. This running of the wire is illustrated in FIGS. 26 and 27. Wall part areas 120 are provided for connecting to stripped cable 103, including stranded conductor and insulation. The stranded conductor wires are there able to be welded or soldered to a wall part area 120, as is illustrated in more detail in FIG. 18.
FIG. 16 illustrates bobbin 102, into which up to three sleeves 101 are able to be introduced.
FIG. 17 illustrates sleeve 101 before it is pushed into bobbin 102. FIG. 18 illustrates the connection to a cable 103 having insulation, the stripped end regions of cable 103, being welded.
FIG. 19 illustrates sleeve 101 pushed into bobbin 102, and cable 103 laid into a channel. FIG. 20 illustrates an associated different perspective. FIG. 21 illustrates the bobbin having two sleeves 101 pushed in and one sleeve 101 before being pushed in.
FIG. 22 illustrates winding wire 105, which is fastened to a holding device 108, and which extends over support surfaces 125 of the sleeve. Winding wire 105 is laid in, in between, into still open tab 122. FIGS. 23 and 24 each illustrate another view.
FIG. 25 illustrates bobbin 102 having three sleeves 101 pushed in, tab 122 being pressed closed, that is, against wall part 123. In this manner, the winding wire may be easily welded. FIG. 26 illustrates an enlarged section of this. FIG. 27 illustrates another perspective.
