20080258574 | DIRECT CURRENT MOTOR - A direct current motor including a rotor, a stator, a brush holder, and a brush. The rotor includes a core, a plurality of commutator segments, and a plurality of segment coils. The core has a plurality of teeth arranged along a circumferential direction of the rotor. A slot is formed between adjacent ones of the teeth in the circumferential direction. The plurality of commutator segments are arranged along the circumferential direction of the rotor inward from the plurality of teeth in the radial direction of the rotor. Each segment coil includes a plurality of segment conductors electrically connected to each other. The plurality of segment conductors in each segment coil extends through the slots along the axial direction of the rotor. | 10-23-2008 |
20110140562 | MOTOR - A motor having a rotor and a stator is disclosed. The rotor is a consequent-pole rotor having a rotor core, a plurality of magnets, and a plurality of salient poles. The stator includes a plurality of teeth. A first auxiliary groove is formed in a surface of each salient pole that is opposed to the teeth. Each first auxiliary groove has first and second side surfaces facing each other in the circumferential direction. The first side surface is closer to a circumferential center of the salient pole than the second side surface. When the angle from the circumferential center line to the first side surface of each salient pole about the axis of the rotor is represented by KC1, the opening angle between the circumferential ends of the distal end of each tooth about the axis is represented by KA, and the opening angle between the circumferential ends of each salient pole about the axis is represented by KB, the following expression is satisfied: KC1=KA−KB/2. | 06-16-2011 |
20110148240 | MOTOR - A motor having a rotor and a stator is disclosed. The rotor is a consequent-pole rotor having a rotor core, a plurality of magnets, and a plurality of salient poles. The stator includes a stator core and multiphase coils. Each coil is wound about the teeth by distributed winding, in such a manner as to wind two or more consecutive teeth in single winding. The opening degree each of salient pole opposed to the distal ends of the teeth is set greater than or equal to twice the opening angle of the distal end of each tooth. | 06-23-2011 |
20110181230 | MOTOR - A motor including a stator, a rotor, and a current supply unit. The stator includes a stator core, which has a plurality of teeth, and a plurality of coils, which are wound around the teeth. The rotor includes a plurality of magnets, which function as first magnetic poles, and salient poles, which function as second magnetic poles. Each of the salient poles is arranged between adjacent magnets spaced apart by a clearance from the magnets.

20110204833 | CONTROLLER FOR MOTOR - A controller for use with a motor including a stator, around which three-phase coils are wound, and a rotor, which includes a magnet functioning as a first magnetic pole and a salient pole of a core functioning as a second magnetic pole. The controller supplies the three-phase coils with excitation currents having a predetermined phase difference from one another to drive and rotate the rotor. The controller includes a current adjustment unit that adjusts a fundamental wave current using high-order currents for third order and ninth order components in a q-axis to reduce torque ripple. The excitation current is generated based on the fundamental wave current adjusted by the current adjustment unit. | 08-25-2011 |
20110309707 | MOTOR - There is provided a motor including a rotor and a stator arranged outside the rotor in the radial direction. The rotor includes a rotor core, a plurality of magnets arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction of the rotor core and functioning as one magnetic pole, and salient poles integrated with the rotor core, each arranged between adjacent magnets and at a distance from the magnets. The salient poles function as the other magnetic pole. A stator has a stator core having a plurality of teeth extending in the radial direction of the stator and arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, and multi-phase coils attached to the teeth. The plurality of salient poles are arranged to have center portions arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, and each have an outer surface extending in the circumferential direction in a range of a predetermined opening angle having an axis of the rotor as a center. A first opening angle serving as an opening angle of an outer surface of a first salient pole is different from a second opening angle serving as an opening angle of an outer surface of a second salient pole. | 12-22-2011 |
20120091845 | BRUSHLESS MOTOR - A brushless motor includes a rotor and a stator. The rotor is provided with a rotor core including a plurality of magnet poles and a plurality of core poles.
