Abstract: A vehicle motor for a motor bicycle, which includes a wheel hub, a rotor, a stator, and a wheel axle, wherein the rotor includes a yoke ring fixedly mounted inside the wheel hub and a plurality of magnets equiangularly arranged inside the yoke ring; the stator includes a disk body fixedly mounted on the wheel axle and suspended inside the wheel hub within the rotor, and a silicon steel stack fixedly mounted around the periphery of the disk body, the silicon steel stack having a plurality T-teeth, the number of the T-teeth being not a common multiple of the number of the magnets so that vibration and cogging torque can be minimized during rotary motion of the rotor relative to the stator, and a three-phase winding mounted on the T-teeth of the silicon steel stack of the disk stator.
Abstract: A claw-pole machine has a stator and a rotor, and an exciter coil that is wound on a solid core in the rotor. The solid core extends in the radial direction into two claw magnet wheels that end in a plurality of claw-pole fingers, having a plurality of solid, radially-outward-oriented parts, and has a plurality of tangential side surfaces, which alternate axially, starting from two sides, wherein a plurality of U-shaped metal sheets are attached to the solid, radially-outward-oriented parts of the claw-pole fingers. The U-shaped metal sheets are layered one on top of the other in the axial direction to prevent eddy currents.
Abstract: An end turn arrangement for turns in a rotor where individual windings are stacked in tapered radial slots in the rotor, with successive turns having a smaller width in a radial inward direction, the end turns of the individual turns of each stack being vertically aligned along a common edge. The end turns are separated by blocking separators, each including a first anchor component having a first planar exterior surface and a second planar interior engagement surface; and a second slide component having a first non-planar exterior surface and a second planar interior engagement surface; the anchor and slide components having mating guide elements permitting the anchor and slide components to move relative to each other along a straight assembly path.
