  • Patent number: 9845107
    Abstract: The invention provides a steering hub system driven by a ball joint universal rotary motor, including a hub body and a connection mechanism. The hub body is connected to a vehicle suspension via the connection mechanism. The hub body includes a ball joint universal rotary motor inside; the ball joint universal rotary motor includes a rotatable spherical shell-shaped rotor body having an opening, a spherical stator body disposed within the rotor body and connected to the connection mechanism, a first coil assembly and a second coil assembly both wound on the spherical stator body; when the first coil assembly is energized, the spherical shell-shaped rotor body rotates with respect to a first axis of the spherical stator body, and when the second coil assembly is energized, the spherical shell-shaped rotor body rotates with respect to a second axis of the spherical stator body, the first axis is not identical to the second axis.

  • Patent number: 9425669
    Abstract: Described herein is a ball joints universal rotary motor, a manufacturing method and a working mechanism thereof. The ball joints universal rotary motor comprises a housing, a spherical-cap shaped stator body, and a rotor body configured to be secured within the stator body. The stator body is made from a permanent magnet. The rotor body comprises multiple layers of armatures and multiple spacer layers. The multiple layers of armatures are symmetrically distributed along the axis of the rotor body. A spacer layer is provided between two adjacent layers of armatures. The multiple layers of armatures and multiple spacer layers are securely connected by a bolt. The bolt and the rotor body are axially connected. The rotor body is of a spherical shape. Each layer of the armatures is wound with two layers of coils: a first layer and a second layer. The motor as provided is configured to realize movement in multiple directions.
