  • Patent number: 7595576
    Abstract: It is possible to provide a brush-less type rotation detector shielding structure capable of reducing the interference of magnetic flux leaking from a rotation transformer to a stator iron core and rotor iron core and suppressing lowering of the angle detection accuracy. As shown in FIG. 1, the shielding structure is used for a brush-less type rotation detector including: a rotation transformer having a rotor transformer (3) and stator transformer (4); a signal modulation section having a stator iron core (2) and a rotor iron core (1); and a case (5) for containing them. The shielding structure has a main configuration having a stator magnetic shielding section (44) capable of magnetically shielding between the stator iron core (2) constituting the signal modulation section and the stator transformer (4).

  • Publication number: 20040145264
    Abstract: An inner core 62 and a resolver rotor 63 are secured to a rotary shaft 68 so that they are coaxial. A spacer 2, is provided between the inner core 62 and the resolver rotor 63. The spacer 2 and the inner core 62 are formed as a unit with separation, or space, between the spacer 2 and flange 41 of the inner core 62. The thickness of flange 41 is greater than the corresponding width of the corresponding part of the outer core, on which a rotary transformer input winding is wound. The resolver rotor 63 is a separate unit from the spacer 2 and the inner core 62, which facilitates automatic winding of the rotor. Grooves 3, 42 are formed in the spacer 2 and the flange 41 to accommodate a crossover wire 60.

  • Patent number: 6713924
    Abstract: A three-phase brushless motor includes a rotor with a permanent magnet having P (P is an integer not less than two) polarities and a stator facing the rotor and having plural coils shaped in approx, triangle or trapezoid. A space between adjacent coils is (360/P)×(5/3) degree. Three position-detectors, which detect the position of the rotor, is placed at intervals of (360/P)×(2/3) degree in an area where no coils are placed. This structure allows the coils to be optimally shaped and placed, and realizes to reduce a number of coils as well as improve the motor characteristics.

  • Publication number: 20030178906
    Abstract: In a method for starting an electric motor, which is operated by alternating current and which has a stator (1) with a main winding (H) and a first auxiliary winding (AUX1) and a rotor with permanent magnets and at least one short-circuit winding, it is ensured that, in order to avoid a pole changing when starting against a high load torque until the rotor has reached synchronism with the rotating field generated by the stator windings, that first auxiliary winding (AUX1) and a second auxiliary winding (AUX2) of the stator (1) are alternatingly supplied with the alternating current in dependence of the alternating current polarity, until the rotor has reached an oversynchronous speed, after which the alternating current supply to the auxiliary windings (AUX1, AUX2) is interrupted or reduced, the current of the auxiliary windings (AUX1, AUX2) being supplied phase-shifted in relation the alternating current (iH) being supplied to the main winding (H).

  • Patent number: 6118201
    Abstract: A brushless resolver comprising a housing, a rotor rotatably mounted in the housing, a rotary transformer comprising a primary winding carried by the housing and secondary winding on the rotor and operatively associated with the primary winding, a resolver comprising a stator winding carried by the housing and a rotor winding on the rotor and operatively associated with the stator winding, characterized by an electromagnetic flux absorber in the housing between the rotary transformer and the resolver for absorbing leakage electromagnetic flux from the rotary transformer so as to reduce any deviation between the indicated electrical position of the rotor and the actual mechanical position of the rotor during each revolution of the rotor. The flux absorber comprises a copper ring between the rotary transformer primary winding and the resolver stator winding so that the leakage flux creates eddy currents in the ring thereby absorbing or reducing the leakage flux.

  • Patent number: 6097129
    Abstract: An electronically commutated external rotor motor has an external rotor having a cup-shaped housing and a radially magnetized permanent magnet connected in the cup-shaped housing. An interior stator is positioned in the cup-shaped housing. The interior stator has a laminated core having grooves. Windings are provided within the grooves. The windings have first end turns proximal to a bottom of the cup-shaped housing and second end turns positioned distal to the bottom. The first and second end turns electrically connect the windings to one another. The permanent magnet has an end face remote from the bottom of the cup-shaped housing. At least one galvano-magnetic rotor position sensor is arranged opposite the end face of the permanent magnet so as to be located within a magnetic leakage of the permanent magnet and within a magnetic leakage of the interior stator. The at least one rotor position sensor is designed to control current within at least a portion of the windings.

  • Patent number: 5705872
    Abstract: A brushless resolver having a stator and a rotor, and a resolver part axially displaced to one another and a transformer part and having associated windings is provided. An additional short-circuited winding arranged parallel with the transformer rotor winding with few turns on the iron core thereof is also provided. A lowpass filter is thereby formed, which compensates the unwanted frequency-dependent phase displacement between the input voltage and the output voltages for the respective frequency.

  • Patent number: 5144180
    Abstract: A two-stator induction synchronous motor includes a unitary rotor having a first rotor assembly and a second rotor assembly each of which is formed by a permanent magnet and a rotor core. The first rotor assembly and the second rotor assembly respectively have a first pair of and a second pair of magnetic poles of the permanent magnets disposed in such a relative relation that the former and the latter are displaced by 180.degree. or 0.degree. with each other. The motor also includes a phase shifting means which produces a phase difference of 0.degree. or 180.degree. between a voltage induced in rotor conductive members by a rotating magnetic field generated around the first rotor assembly and a voltage induced in rotor conductive members by a rotating magnetic field generated around the second rotor assembly.

  • Patent number: 4719560
    Abstract: A rotary phase generator for generating 3 phase voltage is provided which can operate off of 230 or 460 volts A-C. Also provided is a rotary phase generator which has two groups of running capacitors for providing a stable voltage on the third phase at no load and light loads. In addition, a booster system is provided for a rotary phase generator to provide high starting torque to one or more of the motors operated on the rotary phase generator. A plurality of smaller rotary phase generators may be connected in parallel and started in time delay sequence to eliminate the heavy starting current when starting the system on one phase power.
