  • Patent number: 6369480
    Abstract: The invention relates to a motor comprising a stator core having plural teeth and slots provided among the teeth, a winding applied on the teeth by a single turn, and a rotor incorporating plural permanent magnets, which is rotated and driven by utilizing reluctance torque in addition to magnet torque. By turning thus divided teeth by a single winding, the occupation rate of the winding in the slots can be raised. As a result, a motor of small size and large output can be presented.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6300700
    Abstract: A motor comprises a stator core having plural teeth and slots provided among the teeth, a winding applied on the teeth by a turn, and a rotor incorporating plural permanent magnets. The rotor is rotated and driven by utilizing reluctance torque in addition to magnetic torque. Since the winding is not crossed, the size of the coil end is reduced.

  • Patent number: 6300703
    Abstract: This invention pertains to a rotor core (6) in which a plurality of core sheets (1) are laminated on one another on a rotor shaft (4). A plurality of slits (3, 7) and a plurality of strips (2) are alternately arranged in a radial direction of each of the core sheets (1) so as to convexly confront a center of each of the core sheets (1) such that an outer peripheral rim (10) is formed between an outer peripheral edge of each of the core sheets (1) and each of opposite ends of each of the slits (3, 7). A stress concentration portion (11) which is provided at a portion (10a) of the outer peripheral rim (10) and has a width (L1) larger than that of the remaining portions of the outer peripheral rim (10).

  • Patent number: 5557546
    Abstract: Operational data of an elevator are constantly and successively stored in RAM of a terminal supervisor unit. If the elevator develops a malfunction which lasts for a predetermined time, this malfunction is detected and reported from the terminal supervisor unit to a supervisor center, together with relevant data, such as the place of occurrence of the malfunction, the code number of the elevator in question and the kind of malfunction. The data relevant to the malfunction are collected at a time point when predetermined specific data indicate that a malfunction is likely. For this purpose, malfunction-indicating states of the specific data are preset and stored in a preset value storage unit, for each possible kind of malfunction, and are constantly compared with the corresponding actual data. By collecting relevant data before actual determination of a malfunction, an investigation for a cause of the malfunction through an analysis of data can be performed more accurately.
