Abstract:
The Lundell motor apparatus includes a controller for controlling a field current passed to a field coil of a Lundell-type rotor of a motor and an armature current passed to a stator coil of the motor in order to generate a required torque. When the field current is If, the armature current is Ia, a d-axis inductance is Ld, a q-axis inductance is Lq, a q-axis current as a q-axis component of the armature current is Iq, a d-axis current as a d-axis component of the armature current is Id, a field torque is Tf, a field flux is Φf, a reluctance torque is Tr, and a combined torque of the field torque and the reluctance torque is ΣT, the controller passes the d-axis current Id to the stator coil within a phase angle range in which the combined torque ΣT become larger than the field torque Tf in order to generate the reluctance torque Tr which is equal to (Ld−Lq)Id·Iq in addition to the field torque Tf.
Abstract:
A rotor of a synchronous motor includes a rotating shaft, a plurality of segments, a plurality of permanent magnets, and a field coil. The segments are located radially outward of the rotating shaft and arranged in the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft at a predetermined pitch with spaces formed therebetween. Each of the segments has a recess making up a magnetic reluctance portion and an opposite pair of ends making up salient-pole portions. Each of the permanent magnets is disposed in one the spaces between the segments with a predetermined orientation of its N and S poles. The field coil is wound around the segments to extend in the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft through the recesses of the segments. The field coil creates, when energized with DC current, magnetic flux which magnetizes the pair of ends of each of the segments in opposite directions.
Abstract:
In a synchronous reluctance motor composed of a stator core and a rotor core, convex grooves are formed along q-axis in an outer circumferential surface of the rotor core. A rotor coil is wound in the convex grooves. Applying a direct current to the rotor coil generates a torque of a current magnetic flux Φi in addition to a reluctance torque. Each convex groove formed at the q-axis prevents decreasing the reluctance torque. The rotor coil has a cross sectional shape in a diametrical direction of the rotor coil so that the rotor coil has a maximum diametrical width at the q-axis position, and the diametrical width of the rotor coil is gradually decreased according to the distance from the q-axis position.

Each power generating section has a Lundell type rotor core fixed to the rotary shaft, a field coil wound on the rotor core, a stator core disposed on an outside of the rotor core opposite to the rotary shaft in a radial direction, and a stator coil wound on the stator core. A center of the field coil of each power generating section is positioned away from a center of the stator core of the power generating section in the axial direction toward the other power generating section. Two cooling fans cooling the power generating sections are disposed on both sides of the pair of rotor cores in the axial direction.
Abstract:
A tandem rotary electric machine, to be applicable to various types of mobile bodies such as vehicles, is equipped with a primary rotary electric machine and a secondary rotary electric machine arranged in tandem mechanism. In the tandem rotary electric machine, heat energy generated by positive diodes and negative diodes forming one or more rectifier devices is dissipated to a stator core of the secondary rotary electric machine. The stator core of the secondary rotary electric machine acts as a heat sink through the housing. The stator core of the secondary rotary electric machine has a less frequency use, and a large size and a large weight than those of the primary rotary electric machine of high frequent and normal is used as a heat sink in order to prevent the temperature rise of the positive diode and the negative diode of the rectifier devices.
Abstract:
In a tandem AC generator for a vehicle having dual armature core-Lundel type field core pairs placed in series, an intermediate ring as a cylindrical spacer is placed between the dual armature cores. One armature core, the intermediate ring, and the other armature core are pressed and tightly fastened to each other in the direction of a rotary shaft by front and rear housings by a through bolt. A circumference wall part of the front housing accommodates one armature core and the intermediate ring completely and further accommodates a part of an outer circumference surface of the other armature core. This simple construction of the tandem AC generator provides improved and superior vibration proof.

The core has slots disposed along a circumferential direction of the core so as to surround the rotor. Each slot extends in an axial direction of the core and has accommodation regions aligned along a radial direction of the core. Each region receives the wiring. The regions of each slot includes an innermost region and an outermost region, respectively, disposed on both ends of the slot in the radial direction. The wiring has end portions, respectively, drawn out from the outermost regions of different slots, and the wiring has a return portion of which both ends are drawn out from the innermost regions of two different slots.
