  • Publication number: 20160134217
    Abstract: A motor includes a stator and a rotor that is arranged opposite to the stator through a predetermined air gap. The stator is such that a plurality of coils are wound around respective slots for each of a plurality of phases. In the stator, the number of turns of one of the plurality of coils is different from those of the others for each of the phases. In the rotor, among a plurality of magnetic poles formed of a plurality of permanent magnets arranged in a circumferential direction of a core, a magnetoresistance of at least one magnetic pole is different from those of the others.

  • Patent number: 9024498
    Abstract: A rotating electrical machine includes a rotor core, a stator core, and at least one permanent magnet. The rotor core has an inner circumference portion and an outer circumference portion. The stator core is opposed to the outer circumference portion of the rotor core. The at least one permanent magnet radially extends inside the rotor core. The at least one permanent magnet has an incremental circumferential width in a direction from the inner circumference portion to the outer circumference portion of the rotor core.

  • Publication number: 20140246939
    Abstract: The motor includes: a rotor that includes a rotor core provided with a plurality of permanent magnets in a circumferential direction; and a stator that includes a stator core on which multi-phase stator coils are wound and is arranged facing the rotor with a predetermined air gap therebetween. The rotor has a structure in which the change pattern of magnetic properties of the rotor core or the permanent magnets changes stepwise in the circumferential direction. The stator has a structure in which the distribution pattern of a magnetic field generated by the stator coils with one phase or with a combination of the phases has uniqueness over a whole circumference.

  • Publication number: 20140246940
    Abstract: A motor includes a rotor including a rotor core provided with a plurality of permanent magnets in the circumferential direction and a stator including a stator core on which multi-phase stator coils are wound. The rotor has a structure in which the change pattern of magnetic properties of the rotor core or the permanent magnets changes in the circumferential direction, and the stator has a structure in which first and second stator coils of the stator coils are wound on the stator core for each phase in such a manner that passage of current is optionally switched, and when the passage of current is switched to the second stator coil, the distribution pattern of a magnetic field formed on the inner circumferential side by the stator has uniqueness over the whole circumference.

  • Publication number: 20120139386
    Abstract: An electric motor according to the present invention includes a rotor core, a stator core provided so as to face the rotor core in the radial direction, and a permanent magnet buried in the vicinity of an outer circumferential part of the rotor core, wherein the outer circumferential part of the rotor core and an inner circumferential part of the stator core are formed in such a manner that a radial gap length between the outer circumferential part of the rotor core and the inner circumferential part of the stator core for one magnetic pole of the permanent magnet becomes a gap length along a gap length regulated by an expression capable of making magnetic flux density distribution between the outer circumferential part of the rotor core and the inner circumferential part of the stator core a sinusoidal waveform.
