  • Publication number: 20090115282
    Abstract: An electrical machine includes a stator that includes: a yoke formed with laminated annular steel sheets; and a plurality of magnetic poles which protrude towards an inner diameter side of the yoke and on which a field coil is wound. In the stator, a radial width of apart of the yoke corresponding to a magnetic pole width is broader to an outer diameter side than a radial width of a part of the yoke provided throughout between the magnetic poles; and the stator is provided with a thorough-hole for a tightening bolt in the part of the yoke with the broad radial width.

  • Patent number: 7279855
    Abstract: A vehicle electric drive system and a hybrid engine-motor type vehicle drive system realizing simplification and miniaturization of electric parts and, moreover, reduction in cost while maintaining performances can be provided. A part 1 of wheels is driven by an engine. The wheels are driven by a motor as necessary. The motor, a generator, and an accessory battery are connected to each other via a voltage step-up/step-down device. The voltage step-up/step-down device has a function of stepping up power of the battery and supplying the stepping up power to the motor, and a function of stepped down power of the generator and supplying the stepped down power to the battery and the accessories.

  • Publication number: 20060202582
    Abstract: A synchronous motor with low vibrations and an electric driving system using the motor. A field-coil synchronous motor comprises a stator and a rotor rotatably supported at the inner peripheral side of the stator with a gap left relative to the stator. The stator has a stator coil supplied with electric power while being controlled such that driving torque is reduced as a rotation speed of the rotor increases, and the rotor has a field coil supplied with a field current while being controlled such that the field current is reduced as the rotation speed of the rotor increases. The rotor is a tandem claw-pole rotor comprising plural pairs of N- and S-claw poles disposed side by side in an axial direction, and the plural pairs of claw poles of said tandem claw-pole rotor are relatively shifted from each other in a circumferential direction.

  • Patent number: 6378479
    Abstract: In a starter, durability of a pinion and a ring gear is to be improved by eliminating such as a collision by bringing them in mesh with each other. A rotatable intermediate shaft (for example, an input shaft of a generator) is interposed between an output shaft of a starter motor and a crankshaft, a ring gear is mounted on this intermediate shaft via a bearing, the ring gear and a pinion are normally brought in mesh with each other. A movable clutch element for coupling and releasing of the coupling between the intermediate shaft and the ring gear is fitted by a spline to the intermediate shaft, and a stationary clutch element is provided on the ring gear. When a starting switch 1 is turned ON, the clutch element is moved on a side of the ring gear by means of a lever and when the starting switch is turned OFF, the clutch element is separated from the ring gear. The intermediate shaft and the crankshaft are coupled with each other via pulleys and a belt.
