Abstract: A direct-drive brushless DC motorization apparatus comprises an outer rotor with poles constructed with segments of permanent magnet material alternatively magnetized north and south. The outer rotor is adapted to be part of a wheel and rotating with the wheel about an axis thereof. A stator core of ferromagnetic material is spaced inwardly of said rotor to define a clearance gap with the rotor such that the rotor is rotatable about the stator core. The stator core has forty-two slots and defines teeth therebetween. A three-phase winding with coils of insulated wire is wound around the teeth of the stator core. The three-phase winding is divided in two sets of consecutive teeth for each of the three phases, with each of the two sets of a same phase being diametrically opposed in the stator core.

Abstract: The invention relates to a rotary multi-phase electrical motor wherein stator teeth corresponding to one same phase are grouped on a distinct and magnetically isolated stator section. The number of teeth per stator section is an odd number of a value of at least three and the difference between the total number of stator teeth and the number of rotor permanent magnet poles is one. The teeth are preferably equidistantly distributed along the stator. The invention also relates to a wheel motor using the rotary multi-phase electrical motor described above.

Abstract: A polyphase claw-pole armature for an electrical machine is made with several identical segments regularly distributed along the direction of motion and spaced by a magnetic air gap. The number of segments is equal or a multiple of the number of winding phases. Each segment includes a magnetic circuit with a plurality of claws arranged in a plurality of rows, with the base of each claw connected to a common yoke. One or a plurality of non-interlaced coils are included inside each segment, with the coils being wound around the bases of corresponding claws.

Abstract: Structures of direct current motors or ac commutator (Universal) motors which use a concentrated winding on the rotor with coils wound around the teeth. The number of commutator segments is higher than the number of rotor teeth. Several coils are wound around the same tooth. The terminals of the coils are connected to different segments of the commutator. The parallel paths of the armature winding are perfectly balanced. An equal current distribution through the parallel circuits of the armature is maintained and there is no circulation current between these parallel circuits. The problems related to commutation are reduced because the value of the coil inductances is low. The copper volume of the end-windings, the Joule losses and the axial length of the motor armature are lower than a lap or a wave winding with interlocked coils. Two kinds of structures with a concentrated winding are presented: some with rotor teeth with identical dimensions and some with rotor teeth with different dimensions.
