Definitions

  • the present invention relates to improvements in two- phase AC electrical motors, and the like, and particularly to variable speed to-phase AC electrical motors that do not require a permanent magnet rotor or stator.
  • a phase is generally considered an electrical current path that induces an electro-motive force (magnetic flux) and is electrically isolated and independent from all other windings contained within a common electromotive device.
  • An aspect of the electric machine described herein is that the rotor windings are excited via slip rings thus allowing for a motor phase to be comprised of a stator and rotor winding connected in electrical series or parallel. All windings contained within the stator and rotor are electrically isolated and thus can be excited or provide electrical output independently one from the other. Additionally, the wound rotor eliminates the "magnetic polar dead band" associated with permanent magnet rotors.
  • the slip rings provide for a constant uninterrupted transfer of current to the rotor windings.
  • the slip rings are therefore not a communication device.
  • Commuters are segmented and provide for mechanical electrical switching of current flow each time the brush or wiper transitions a commutator segment or bar. Therefore this invention could be classified as a brushless machine with dynamic rotor/armature capabilities. This electric machine design does not include a mechanical commutator nor does it possess internal residual magnetic properties.
  • a feature of certain embodiments of this invention is implementation of a magnetic bias constituted by additional wire turns and offset near the physical center of one or more the winding for the purpose of introducing a predisposition that results in the rotor adopting, upon "power up", a position in a predetermined direction causing the rotor winding to orient toward and into the stator winding side of rotational progression.
  • Another feature of certain embodiments of this invention is the introduction of a flux gradient into more than one winding to cause rotor displacement to a state of balance between it and the resulting rotational direction being established by phase shift induced by the drive electronics .
  • a significant aspect of the invention is the ability of exciting either the rotor or stator or a combination of both. Bipolar flux fields are established in each phase and these fields attract and repel alternately. Both phases can be simultaneously excited via a bipolar driver and attract/repel each other. As a result, there are reduced power losses since all of the windings are used to induce flux throughout each electrical motor cycle. Power developed in each phase is proportional one to the other.
  • Permanent magnet machines are designed and conceived based on the premise the magnet energy product of the permanent magnet component contained within the device establishes the baseline for the magnetic flux levels necessary to achieve the required torque/force by virtue of an equal flux product be established by electrical current flow in the windings. Moreover, permanent magnets can exhibit reduced magnetic properties when exposed to heat. Permanent magnets are also subject to demagnetization when exposed to high flux fields of the opposite polarity.
  • An aspect of this invention is that it is not limited to rotating electric machines and can also be applied to linear and partial-rotational devices. Another aspect of the invention is that, unlike traditional electrical machines applied in the motor mode that utilize either a permanent magnet or as in the case of induction motors rotor excitation from the fields or stator windings, the present invention enables the independent excitation of each winding.
  • Another novel aspect of the invention is that no energized winding is required to act or react to an arbitrary pre-established or calculated flux field.
  • the preferred embodiments facilitate, for each phase in the motor mode, inducing torque or force by virtue of one phase acting upon the other.
  • Another aspect of the invention is enabling use of ironless or coreless windings.
  • the use of iron core or laminations is not precluded when for applications in which magnetic flux direction and/or concentration is desirable, such as, for example, certain servomotor applications.
  • Another aspect of the invention is that the preferred embodiment does not require incorporation of so-called inactive segments: Rather a virtue of the design maximizes
  • Another aspect of one of the preferred embodiments of the invention is a motor in which the rotor winding rotates concentrically with inner and outer stator windings to thereby reduce the total flux path, enhance starting torque and decreased inertia.

  • the stator coil segments and rotor coil segments may be disposed in corresponding space opposed relation, wherein the rotor coil segments are disposable substantially adjacent the stator coil segments .
  • the stator coils and rotor coils may be excited by a common switched signal from a switching circuit.
  • the stator coils and rotor coils may be disposed in serial electrical connection, or in parallel electrical connection.
  • stator coils and rotor coils are excitable to radiate a coaxial flux pattern therebetween, which operates to generate a rotational force to rotate the rotor assembly.
  • the stator assembly may be formed to include a stator support member formed of insulating material, in which the stator coil is wholly or partially encapsulated.
  • the rotor assembly may similarly include a body of insulating material supporting the rotor coils, and partially or wholly encapsulating the rotor coils.

  • Magnetic fields are produced by passing alternatively current through the respective stator and rotor electromagnetic coils. As shown in Figures 7 and 8, magnetic return paths are provided by the magnetic steel stator 21 and rotor 22. Referring to Figure 14, application of alternating current in the stator and rotor windings results in bipolar flux fields being established in each phase and these fields alternatively attach and repel.
  • Motors constructed in accordance with the preferred embodiments possess winding and internal motor connections that facilitate the ability for a phase to be constituted by a winding contained both in the stator and rotor.

  • Figure 16 illustrates another embodiment in which the stator and rotor windings are connected in parallel.
  • a magnetic bias in one direction is provided by additional wire turns 80 that are offset the physical center of one or more of the windings 40 for the purpose of introducing a predisposition that results in the rotor 22 adopting a "power up" position in a predetermined direction.
  • each winding is independently excited so that the flux density produced by each winding is independently controlled.
  • This Control provides for precise speed control of the two-phase motor ans is advantageously implemented using stepper motor integrated circuitry having H-bridge output stages typically used for driving stopper motors.
  • FIG. 18 and 19 Further embodiments of the invention shown in Figures 18 and 19 include additional rotor and stator windings while maintaining the two-phase operational characteristics.
  • the motor of Figure 18 has four stator and four rotor windings
  • the motor of Figure 19 has six stator and six rotor windings.
  • Figures 20 and 21 illustrate a "pancake" two-phase electrical AC motor constructed in accordance with this invention.
  • Figure 22 illustrates an additional preferred embodiment of the motor constructed in accordance with this invention in which the stator windings are in two sections 100 and 102 that magnetically interface the rotor 103 from both polar orientations in a "coaxial" configuration. Rotor 103 is attached to output shaft 105.
  • the motor housing 110 provides the outer flux return path and the inner flex return path is provided by a cylindrically shaped magnetic member 115 attached to the stator.
  • Slip rings 120 function to continuously connect to the rotor windings as in the foregoing embodiments.
  • a feature of the motor of Figure 22 is improved efficiency and torque.
  • An inherent problem with ironless motors or motors without laminations relates to the smaller wire sizes needed to maintain a minimal mean air gap.
  • Laminations provide essentially a core upon which the wire is wound and stacked and flux transferred to a (salient) pole. Relating to coreless (ironless) motors, ideally the largest wire diameter possible is used for the purpose of minimizing coil resistance thus reducing power consumed by the motor. This is simply expressed as I 2 R losses.
  • the motor of Figure 22 is an effective remedy to this dilemma. Separating the stator coil into two or more coaxial units while allowing the rotor winding to pass between them affords the use of a significantly larger wire size while ensuring a cumulative air-gap reduction of approximately 30%.
  • the physical law which states flux density, decreases inversely to the square of the distance or the mean air- gap.
  • the aforementioned percentage of physical interactive coil proximity improvement considered in conjunction with an inverse square function translates to a major improvement in coil to flux interaction and thus overall motor performance ans efficiency.
  • the mean air gap can be reduced on the order of 30% which enables a substantial increase in flux density since magnetic flux density decreases inversely proportional to the square of the distance.
  • Another feature of the motor of figure 22 is that the inner return path provided by member 15 is stationary and does not rotate. The net result is significantly reduced rotor inertia. The virtue of this is a substantial reduction of rotor inertia, decreased rotor inertia results in a much reduced mechanical time constant (the amount of time required to accelerate the rotor to 63.2% of a predetermined speed) or simply faster acceleration time. Also and related to the aforementioned, there exists the option to use a return path component of substantial mass so as to facilitate the utilization of extremely high flux densities to provide for very rapid acceleration and/or braking.
  • the advantages of the motor of Figure 22 thus includes: a) Magnetic flux interacts evenly with both sides of the rotor windings.
  • the total flux path distance is reduced.
  • Symmetric draw and repulsion forces are in line with the fundamental direction of rotation. This contributes to enhanced starting torque; less motor generated audible noise and reduced vibration at slow motor speeds .
  • the stationary inner return path provides for the mass of this motor element to be as large as required to support the desired motor flux density without contributing to increased rotor inertia.
  • Flux is introduced to both sides of the rotor coil. Active flux is introduced from both planes resulting in a rotor penetration that is equal on both sides while both stator windings have a balanced gradient toward the center of the rotor winding.
  • Machines constructed in accordance with this invention can be used as motors, generators, or electric brakes using drive/controller electronics in such a way that a phase is constituted by the electrical current flow through a stator and rotor winding both connected in electrical series or parallel. Rotor excitation is accomplished by the use of slip rings or other devices providing for the transfer of electrical current to a dynamic electro-magnetic assembly.
  • the invention is also classifiable as a novel embodiment of step motor that adjusts substantially unlimitedly the energy product of all magnetic flux sources thus affording high versatility in terms of power application thereby enhancing achievable efficiencies.
  • the invention enables no torque affording the ability to "back drive" the device. That is not typically possible with the conventional permanent magnet step motor.
  • the appropriate description pertaining to step motor properties is best described as a universal device that would replace a variable reluctance or permanent magnet design.
  • the machines of this invention are applicable to either unipolar or bipolar excitation capable of complete and total user control of all magnetic flux densities. When used as a generator/alternator, the frequency and voltage output are user controllable.

  • wound means that the stator assembly and rotor assembly are devoid of permanent magnetic materials, or iron cores, such as laminations, which produce characteristic magnetic flux patterns when the associated coils are excited.

However, the inclusion of the signal conditioning circuitry would reduce vibration and enhance the effectiveness of a direct AC signal. Commonly available switching circuitry would provide greater efficiency.

  • the relative magnetic polarity remains the same and motor direction is a function of preestablished direction.
  • the switching circuit may operate relatively asynchronously with respect to rotor rotational speed/position. This mitigates constraints upon motor operation, and associated production expense. The absence of an iron core also mitigates magnetic saturation limitations that can constrain switching speed or other functions. Accordingly, the application of the present invention to coreless motors provides for economic savings and enhances motor compatibility with high speed switching circuitry.
