Patent number: 9800125Abstract: A reluctance rotor for an electric machine includes rotor lamination layers made of a ferromagnetic material, wherein each rotor lamination layer has a flux barrier formed by a recess in the rotor lamination layer. In order to toughen the reluctance rotor for a high torque and a high rotational speed, the reluctance rotor has an intermediate part with recesses arranged between a first and a second rotor lamination layer, and separators delimiting the recesses from one another. The recesses of the intermediate part and the separators are arranged axially between the flux barriers, wherein the recesses of the intermediate part and the flux barriers together delimit a space. The space is cast with a non-ferromagnetic casting compound.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2015Date of Patent: October 24, 2017Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Marion Ballweg, Klaus Büttner, Klaus Kirchner

Patent number: 8749079Abstract: A compact Wankel expander-alternator combination is provided. The combination includes a stationary outer housing that has embedded stator coils and a rotating inner housing having corresponding magnets disposed around the housing with the magnet/coil interaction generating power. Within the rotating housing, a three-sided rotor turns within a two lobed Wankel cavity, powered by working fluid acting on the rotor. The rotating housing and the rotor each circumscribe a stationary shaft. The shaft has an eccentric lobe about which the rotor turns on a bearing disposed between the rotor and the lobe. The rotating housing turns on bearings supported by the stationary shaft. The rotor and rotating housing are linked so that as the rotor turns in response to the working fluid force, the housing turns at a higher speed the speed ratio being preselected to achieve the desired output energy.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2011Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Paul M.

Patent number: 7656063Abstract: A rotor is accommodated in a yoke housing. Six magnets are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction on the inner circumferential surface of the yoke housing so as to face the rotor. The core is generally cylindrical and includes an annular portion at an anti-output side and a balance at an output side. The magnets have six poles so as to effectively narrow a basal path width of the core in which the line of magnetic force concentrates most and magnetic saturation is likely to occur most. This reduces the diameter of the core. Therefore, the motor is effectively miniaturized in the axial direction and in the radial direction without complicating the formation steps.Type: GrantFiled: January 13, 2006Date of Patent: February 2, 2010Assignee: ASMO Co., Ltd.Inventor: Naoyuki Tsukamoto

Publication number: 20090315428Abstract: A lamination of a stator of a three-phase motor has a core ring and multiple winding frames. Each winding frame has a body and two wings. The body is implemented for winding wires thereon, is elongated and defines two side edges and an outer end. The wings oppositely protrude transversely from the outer end of the body and each defines an inner edge adjacent to one corresponding side edge of the adjacent body to retain the wires wound on the body. The inner edges of the wings are formed perpendicular to, or slightly outward relative to the side edges of the body. Such that interference between the wings and wound wires near the outer ends of the bodies can be prevent, and a capacity of the winding space defined around the body is increased and an efficient of wire winding is ensured.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2008Publication date: December 24, 2009Inventors: Cheng-Chun Chou, Tsung-Ming Liu, Chien-Jung Lin, Yen-Min Su, Yung-Sheng Tang
