Abstract

A method produces a hollow electrical insulator. The method includes: winding first wound layers of a first fiber element onto a core; and winding second wound layers of a second fiber element onto an end region of the core. The first wound layers have turns of the first fiber element which enclose a first winding angle with a main direction of extension of the core. The second wound layers have turns of the second fiber element which enclose a second winding angle with the main direction of extension of the core which is larger than the first winding angle. An inner region of the core remains free of second wound layers.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for producing a hollow electrical insulator, the method comprising:
winding first wound layers of a first fiber element onto a core; and
winding second wound layers of a second fiber element onto an end region of the core, wherein:
the first wound layers have turns of the first fiber element which enclose a first winding angle with a main direction of extension of the core,
the second wound layers comprise turns of the second fiber element which enclose a second winding angle with the main direction of extension of the core which is larger than the first winding angle, and
an inner region of the core remains free of second wound layers,
the first winding angle is between 10° and 60°, inclusive,
the second winding angle is between 70° and 90°, inclusive, and
the second wound layers are not wound using a turning means.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the first wound layers and the second wound layers are alternately wound on top of each other.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the second wound layers are wound with increasing number onto a smaller region of the end region starting from an end face of the core.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the first fiber elements or the second fiber elements are passed through a liquid matrix material prior to winding.

5. A hollow electrical insulator, the hollow electrical insulator comprising:
first wound layers of a first fiber element; and
second wound layers of a second fiber element in an end region of the hollow electrical insulator, wherein:
the first wound layers comprise turns of the first fiber element which enclose a first winding angle with a main direction of extension of the hollow electrical insulator,
the second wound layers comprise turns of the second fiber element which enclose a second winding angle with the main direction of extension of the hollow electrical insulator which is greater than the first winding angle,
an inner region of the hollow electrical insulator is free of second wound layers,
the first winding angle is between 10° and 60°, inclusive,
the second winding angle is between 70° and 90°, inclusive, and
the second wound layers were not wound using a turning means.

6. The hollow electrical insulator as claimed in claim 5 ,
wherein the first wound layers and the second wound layers are arranged alternately.

7. The hollow electrical insulator as claimed in claim 5 ,
wherein a number of second wound layers starting from an outer surface of the hollow electrical insulator increases from the inner region to an end face of the hollow electrical insulator.

8. The hollow electrical insulator as claimed in claim 5 ,
wherein the second wound layers are free of severed fibers.

9. A bushing for a transformer, the bushing comprising the hollow electrical insulator as claimed in claim 5 .

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the turning means are protusions or pins on the core that are configured to prevent turns from slipping off of the core.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the winding of the first wound layers of the first fiber element onto the core comprises using the turning means to prevent the turns of the first fiber element from slipping off of the core.

12. The hollow electrical insulator of claim 5 , wherein the hollow electrical insulator is configured such that the second wound layers were not wound using the turning means to prevent the turns of the second fiber element from slipping off of the core by having no protrusions or pins on the core at an end region or an end face of the core.
