Abstract:
In the motor (1), when a drive coil (17) is wound around a salient pole (114), the opening width of an armature core (11) is kept sufficiently large to be able to wind the drive coil (17) properly and easily. After the drive coil (17) is wound, a magnetic flux collecting plate (50) including a peripheral-direction extension portion (51) and an axial-direction extension portion (52) is mounted onto the outer peripheral surface (118) of a bow-shaped portion (117) of the salient pole (114.) In this mounting operation, two pawl-shaped positioning engagement portions (55) respectively formed in the magnetic flux collecting plate (50) are fitted into grooves (119) which are respectively formed in the upper and lower end faces of the armature core (11).
Abstract:
It is an object of this invention to provide an alternator for a vehicle in which all electric conductors forming bridge portions are sufficiently exposed to cooling winds so that the cooling performance is remarkably improved. It is another object of this invention to provide an alternator for a vehicle which is excellent in cooling performance, insulating characteristic, and heat resisting property. An alternator for a vehicle includes a stator. The stator includes an iron core 22, an electric conductor 21, and an insulator 23. The electric conductor 21 forms a winding on the iron core 22. The insulator 23 provides electric insulation between the electric conductor 21 and the iron core 22. The stator is supported by a housing. The dimension of openings of slots in the iron core 22 is smaller than the distance between inner side surfaces of the slots. The electric conductor 21 has accommodated portions accommodated in the slots, and bridge portions connecting the accommodated portions. Pieces of the electric conductor which extend out of the slots are approximately separated into a conductor groups 21f located on outer radial sides of the slots and a conductor group 21g located on inner radial sides of the slots, and form the bridge portions. Predetermined gaps are provided between pieces of the electric conductor in the bridge portions. The bridge portions have ridge portions inclined in a same circumferential direction in each of the outer radial side and the inner radial side, and top portions connecting the ridge portions along an axial and radial direction.
Abstract:
A dynamoelectric machine constructed for speed and accuracy of manufacturing has a stator core constructed of 90.degree. symmetrical stator laminations and the windings have differing numbers of poles which overlap in slots of the stator core are wound of the core formed by the laminations in unique fashion. The rotor bars of the machine are skewed to optimize performance of the machine when in the form of a single phase induction motor. Magnet wire leads of the windings are connected directly to terminals on a plug and terminal assembly which is formed for positive location on an end frame of the machine without welding or other fastening to the end frame. The end frames of the machine and stator laminations forming the stator core are formed so as to increase the precision of the final position of the stator relative to the rotor assembly of the dynamoelectric machine. The end frames are constructed for grounding without the use of fasteners or wire. The engagement of the end frames with the stator core is employed as the basis for alignment of the machine components.
Abstract:
An electrical machine has a rotor shaft which carries a plurality of rotor discs for rotation therewith. Each rotor disc has two pairs of rotor rims secured thereto. Each rotor rim consists of a single row of alternate magnets and pole pieces and is opposed by a series of stator cores which straddle the rotor rim. The stator cores are `c` shaped so that they receive flux from two adjacent magnets and close around two opposite rotor poles on either side of the rotor rim. The stator cores, formed by winding electrical steel around a former, reduce the losses caused by eddy currents generated when flux impinges on the side faces of the stator core.
Abstract:
In the stage of winding a drive coil (17) on salient poles (114) in the assembling of a motor (1), the opening width of an armature core (11) is wide enough to allow easy and proper winding of the drive coil (17). After the winding of the drive coil (17), opening-width adjusting members (50A) are put within open slots (100), to thereby reduce the opening width of the armature core (11) at the flux gathering parts (54A) and (55A) of the opening-width adjusting member (50A). The opening-width adjusting member (50A) is positioned and fixed, by its elasticity, within each open slot.
Abstract:
A motor capable of suppressing the torque ripple includes a rotor, a stator and stator coils. The rotor is provided with a plurality of permanent magnets which are arranged at a constant pitch in the circumferential direction. The stator surrounds the rotor and is formed with a plurality of stator poles and a slot located between every two stator poles. The stator coils are wound on the stator and are supplied with three-phase sinusoidal current. The rotor is composed of a plurality of rotor portions which are arranged in the axial direction of the rotor. The difference between the open angle of each permanent magnet of one rotor portion and the open angle of each permanent magnet of another rotor portion is an integral multiple of 30.degree. in electrical angle. When three-phase sinusoidal current is applied to the stator coils, a torque ripple is generated. However, the phase of a torque ripple generated at one of the rotor portions arranged in the axial direction can be made different from the phase(s) of torque ripple(s) generated at other rotor portion(s).
Abstract:
A motor with positive torque parking positions. The motor includes a rotor which is rotatable about an axis of rotation and a stator in magnetic coupling relation with the rotor. The stator includes a plurality of teeth each having a radially extending shaft and an axially extending face. The faces of the stator teeth define an aperture for receiving the rotor and the faces of the stator teeth and the rotor define an air gap therebetween. Each stator tooth has a notch in its face that is approximately at least as wide as the shaft of the stator tooth so that the stator has a magnetic configuration relative to the rotor for parking the rotor in a rest position corresponding to a positive torque starting position. The motor also includes a winding on the shafts of the stator teeth and a control circuit for controlling current in the winding whereby an electromagnetic field is produced for rotating the rotor at a desired speed or torque during operation of the motor.

To reduce torque ripples appearing in an output torque of an electric synchronous motor, the rotor (10) is divided into 2.sup.n rotor elements (101, 102, 103, and 104) the rotor elements of each of 2.sup.n-1 pairs of rotor elements (101, 102; 103, 104) being circumferentially shifted from one another around an axis of the rotor by an angle corresponding to a half of the wavelength (.lambda.) of a first (A) of "n" kinds of cyclic torque ripples (A and B) to cancel the first kind of torque ripple, and the 2.sup.n-1 pairs of rotor elements (101, 102; 103, 104) being arranged to be grouped in 2.sup.n.sup.-2 sections of rotor elements, each section including two pairs of rotor elements, and the 2.sup.n-2 sections of rotor elements being circumferentially shifted from one another around the axis of the rotor by an angle corresponding to a half of a wavelength (.lambda.) to cancel a second of the "n" kinds of torque ripple, and eventually, the rotor structure being structured so that the rotor elements are further circumferentially shifted from one another to cancel the "n"th torque ripple component.
Abstract:
A synchronous machine having a stator and a rotor, of which one, preferably the stator, is provided with a three-phase, symmetrical, Y-connected armature winding intended to have a sinusoidal line voltage or a sine-wave supply current, whereas the other, preferably the rotor, carries a field magnet system. The magnetic flux generated in the air gap between the ferromagnetic cores of the stator and the rotor and linked with the armature winding has a density whose mean value, as determined over the axial extension of the air gap, varies along the air gap in its circumferential extension in accordance with a uniform periodic function whose positive and negative half-periods are mirror images of one another and whose period coincides with the extension of two pole pitches of the field magnet system, and whose shape deviates from a purely sinusoidal shape. Within one-half of one positive half-period of the function f(.alpha., .beta.)=1 for 0.ltoreq..alpha..ltoreq..pi./2 and f(.alpha.,.beta.)=cos(.alpha.-.beta.)-sin.beta./1-sin.beta. for .beta.

The rotor portion (12) includes a field magnet (22) which is divided into alternately polarized zones (26) and (28) which are of dissimilar sizes, and a commutator magnet (38) to provide for electrical timing. The stator portion (16) includes salient pole positions (44) which are asymmetrically arranged around the circumference of the stator core.A latching hall effect sensor (82) is also provided to act as a commutator triggering element. The motor (10) is characterized in that the asymmetrical arrangement of its magnetic elements prevents there being a zero torque or a detent position. The primary usage of the motor (10) is in digital data storage devices.
