  • Patent number: 6489696
    Abstract: A rotor of a motor has a cylindrical magnet coaxially disposed with a shaft. The shaft and the magnet are bonded with thermosetting resin formed by injection molding. Since the molding shrinkage of the thermosetting resin is so small that a high preciseness is achieved in the motor structure. This precision structure can reduce vibration due to unbalance of a rotor. Also, an annealing process, in which a motor is left at a temperature higher than the limit temperature for operating the motor, can be eliminated. As a result, the efficiency of producing the motor can be improved.

  • Patent number: 6448675
    Abstract: A rotational balancing structure for an A.C. motor comprises a casing having an axle seat for rotatably holding a shaft of a rotor. A balancing sheet and a stator are mounted in the casing. The stator comprises plural stacked silicon steel plate wound around by a winding. An insulating ring is mounted to an end of the stator. Each of the stator and the insulating ring has a central hole. The rotor comprises an induction ring that is received in the central hole of the stator with an end face of the induction ring extending through the central hole of the stator for mutual attraction with the balancing sheet fixed on the casing.

  • Patent number: 6429539
    Abstract: A generator apparatus driven by an internal combustion engine and comprising a revolution controller to control a revolution of the internal combustion engine so as to maintain a desired value of a terminal voltage of a battery which is charged by an output of an AC generator driven by the internal combustion engine while controlling an actuator for operating a fuel supply adjuster, an engine start controller to give a start instruction from a timer circuit to start means when the battery is discharged until the terminal voltage is lowered to a set value and an engine stop controller to give a stop instruction from the timer circuit to stop means when the battery is perfectly charged by the operation of the engine until the revolution of the engine is lowered to a stop revolution thereof whereby the starting and stopping operations of the engine are controlled without undercharging and overcharging the battery.

  • Patent number: 6337561
    Abstract: A generating system having a rotating type generator to interconnect a power system in order to output power of the generator to the power system comprises a generator, an exciting circuit and an excitation control section. It also comprises short-cycle stabilizing sections for outputting a short-cycle stabilizing signal for suppressing short-cycle power fluctuations according to at least one of an electric parameter and a mechanical parameter of the generator and a long-cycle stabilizing section for outputting a long-cycle stabilizing signal for suppressing long-cycle power fluctuations having a cycle time longer than short-cycle power fluctuations according to the mechanical parameter of the generator. The outputs of the short-cycle stabilizing sections and the long-cycle stabilizing section are sent to the excitation control section.
