Integral With Radially Extending Poles Patents (Class 310/216.102)
  • Patent number: 12088144
    Abstract: A stator for an electric motor is described. An example stator includes a stator core having teeth that are radially arranged about a common central axis of the stator and located in a spaced apart manner from one another. Each tooth has an inward portion and an outward portion. The example stator further includes an electrically transmissive coil of wire that is wound contiguously upon the inward portions of at least a subset of teeth from the plurality of teeth. The stator also includes wedge members that are radially arranged about the common central axis and located intermittently with the plurality of teeth such that each wedge member abuts with the outward portions of adjacently located teeth.

  • Patent number: 11056934
    Abstract: A stator core for a rotary electric machine is provided, which includes core members stacked and formed annularly so as to surround a rotor, each core member including a plurality of slots extending from one end to another end in a shaft direction and teeth formed between the slots. A whole of the teeth includes a first teeth section including, at a tip on an inner periphery side of each core member, each tooth including a first protrusion portion and a second protrusion portion with a lower protrusion height than the first protrusion portion protruding in a circumferential direction of each core member and a second teeth section including a pair of the first protrusion portions and/or a pair of the second protrusion portions.

  • Patent number: 10958114
    Abstract: A magnetic core for an electric motor has a ring-shaped yoke, teeth extending outwardly from the yoke, and a tooth tip extending from a distal end of each tooth. The core is formed from curved or coils strip laminations having teeth arranged in tooth groups. Each group has four tooth types arranged sequentially. Each tooth has left and right half tooth tips. The length of the half tooth tips vary according to tooth type. When assembled, first type tooth overlap with third type teeth and second type teeth overlap with fourth type teeth, whereby the opening of the winding slot is narrowed compared to laminations having all identical teeth.

  • Patent number: 10622929
    Abstract: An actuator includes a yoke extending about a rotation axis. A coil is wrapped about the yoke. A rotor having a direct axis and a quadrature axis is supported for rotation about a rotation axis relative to the yoke. The rotor has a reluctance along the direct axis that is different than a reluctance along the quadrature axis to rotate the rotor when current is applied to the coil.

  • Patent number: 7872391
    Abstract: A stator core is disclosed. The stator core is constructed in a structure in which stress and spring back of the stator core are minimized when a stator is manufactured in a spiral fashion, whereby workability is improved. The stator core includes a yoke formed in the shape of a band, a plurality of teeth protruding outward from one side of the yoke, the teeth being arranged at predetermined intervals in the longitudinal direction of the yoke, a plurality of notches formed at the inside of the yoke in the shape of a cutout such that the notches are arranged at equal intervals, and guide holes formed in the longitudinal direction of the yoke. The guide holes include holes formed at positions corresponding to the respective teeth and holes formed between the respective teeth.
