The present invention belongs to the field of motors, and specifically relates to a switched reluctance motor of a novel structure. The switched reluctance motor includes stator tooth poles and rotor tooth poles, the rotor tooth poles are in rotation fit relative to the stator tooth poles, wherein the number of the stator tooth poles is twice as large as that of the rotor tooth poles; the stator tooth poles are fixedly connected in layers along the direction of a rotation axis, the stator tooth pole with thickness corresponding to the thickness range of the rotor tooth pole is called a rotor tooth pole unit, the stator tooth pole is composed of a stator tooth pole iron core and a stator tooth pole coil sleeved at the outside of the stator tooth pole iron core, an end part of the stator tooth pole iron core forming an air gap with the rotor tooth pole is a concave-convex fit circular arc surface, the cooperation relationship between the stator tooth pole and the rotor tooth pole is that no matter the rotor tooth pole rotates to any angle relative to the stator tooth pole, the center line of at least one layer of stator tooth poles forms an included angle α with the center line of the corresponding rotor tooth pole unit, 0
