Patent number: 7926164Abstract: A method for manufacturing a stator core (20) for an electric machine, in which a plurality of strip-shaped laminations (21) are first stacked to form an essentially block-shaped lamellas packet (40) that is then shaped into an annular form by means of roller bending in one of the subsequent steps so that the outer teeth are provided on the outer circumference of the lamination packets and has an axial direction (a) that corresponds to a cylinder axis (z), the annular form having axial end surfaces (46), wherein in another of the subsequent steps, the annular lamination packet (40) is plastically deformed in the axial direction (a) only on the outer teeth (70) of the axial end surfaces (46).Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2004Date of Patent: April 19, 2011Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Eberhard Rau, Thomas Berger, Martin Henne, Klaus Pflueger

Patent number: 7923887Abstract: Disclosed herein is a brushless motor that is simply constructed based on a vernier type motor to achieve high torque without the increase in size and complication thereof. The brushless motor includes a rotor having magnetized surfaces alternately magnetized as N and S poles and a stator having salient poles. The salient poles have tip end surfaces opposite to the magnetized surfaces in the radial direction. Grooves and protrusions are alternately formed at the tip end surfaces of the salient poles in the rotational direction. The grooves and the protrusions extend in the axial direction and have a width in the rotational direction approximately equal to that of the N pole or the S pole. Magnetic bodies are disposed in gaps defined between the grooves and the magnetized surfaces in a non-contact fashion. A magnetic connection member is spaced apart from the stator to interconnect the magnetic bodies.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2008Date of Patent: April 12, 2011Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventor: Yukinori Nakagawa

Patent number: 7911109Abstract: The invention regards a permanent-magnets mono-phase synchronous electric motor (7) for washing machines and the like, in particular for washing pumps (1), with improved stator (4) structure and of the type centrally comprising a permanent-magnets axial rotor (2) and a stator (4) with a lamination pack core (5) and a couple of pole pieces with ends enveloping the rotor (2), of which they have substantially the same axial length and from which they are spaced by respective aircore. Such a motor is distinguished in that the lamination pack core (5) has a shorter axial length with respect to the ends (10, 11) of said pole pieces. Advantageously, the stator (4) pole pieces are obtained through moulding magnetic powders.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2006Date of Patent: March 22, 2011Assignee: Askoll Holding S.r.l.Inventor: Elio Marioni
