  • Patent number: 6847144
    Abstract: A permanent magnet rotor for a brushless electric motor, comprising at least two main magnetic poles, disposed on a periphery of a rotor. Each opening angle A covers N/2 times the opening angle of each of the stator sections, with N being an odd number greater or equal to 3. A is required to be the nearest angle that is smaller than 360/P degrees, with P being the number of poles. Each of the main magnetic poles has a periphery with a central section R1 and two end sections R2 R1has an opening angle A1. The opening angle A1 covers N/2 times the opening angle of each of the stator sections, with N being an odd number greater or equal to 3. A1 is required to be smaller than the opening angle A of each of the main magnetic poles of the rotor. Each of the main magnetic poles contains a dual-plate permanent magnet.

  • Patent number: 6196347
    Abstract: A power transmission and pedal force sensing system for an electric motor includes an electric motor, a gear reduction train, a pedal force sensing system, and a power combination mechanism. These four mechanisms are concentrically, closely mounted in a single casing. The pedal force sensing system includes a pedal force transmitting sleeve having an elastic device mounted therein, and a pedal force sensing sleeve mounted outside the pedal force transmission path for converting the pedal force into an axial displacement. A proximity sensor is used to detect the axial displacement and outputs a voltage signal representing the magnitude of the pedal force. The power transmission path is shortened and only one casing is required to house all of the elements to thereby obtain a structure of a higher transmission efficiency and reduced volume and weight.
