Definitions

  • the present invention pertains to a brushless rotary electric motor/generator structure for larger motors. More particularly, the present invention concerns a segmented and individually encapsulated brushless rotary electric motor/generator structure.
  • brushless electric motors may be termed "axial gap” or “radial gap.”
  • magnets are mounted on a rotor and an induction structure or electrical coils are mounted on a stator.
  • the coils and magnets are in juxtaposed relation with one another on respective co-axial cylindrical planes and in respective axially spaced planes.
  • the coils and magnets are in radially spaced juxtaposed relation with one another in respective co-axially disposed cylindrical planes.
  • Axial gap motors employing coil armatures and brush commutation have been in use since the late 1950's.
  • the brushes make mechanical contact with a set of electrical contacts on the rotor (called the commutator), forming an electrical circuit between the DC electrical source and the armature coil-windings.
  • the commutator a set of electrical contacts on the rotor
  • the stationary brushes come into contact with different sections of the rotating commutator.
  • Brushless disc-type axial gap motors were later developed, employing rotating magnets, coil stators, and electronic commutation.
  • the electromagnets do not move; instead, the permanent magnets rotate and the armature remains static. This gets around the problem of how to transfer current to a moving armature.
  • brushless axial gap motors have been used in large numbers in audio and video tape recorders and computer disc drives.
  • a magnetic rotor disc with alternating North/South pole pieces rotates above and/or below a plane containing several flat, stator coils lying adjacent to one another.
  • Current flowing in the conductor wires of the coils interacts with the alternating magnetic flux lines of the disc, producing Lorentz forces perpendicular to the radially directed conductors and thus tangential to the axis of rotation.
  • the brushless axial gap motor offers several advantages over brushed DC motors, including higher efficiency and reliability, reduced noise, reduced maintenance, longer lifetime (no brush erosion), elimination of ionizing sparks from the commutator, and overall reduction of electromagnetic interference.
  • the maximum power that can be applied to a brushless motor is exceptionally high, limited almost exclusively by heat, which can damage the coils and affect the strength of the magnets.
  • Kessinger teaches that the individual coils making up each coil array be flat and rectangular in shape to form a thin disc coil array so as to maximize the electromotive interaction for a motor/generator of a given diameter and maximize the torque, which may be produced by a motor, or the voltage produced by a generator.
  • certain problems are believed to remain in an axial gap arrangement. During operation and rotation of the rotor, an outward radial shearing force is placed on the securement between the permanent magnets and the rotor. Because of these forces and possible adverse effects of heat buildup during continued use, the magnets may break free. Additional bonding material may be needed to overcome such situation, possibly resulting in increased cost and size of the structure.
  • Kessinger proposes that the individual flat shaped rectangular coil structures closely abut one another and that individual coils be overmolded with a moldable material to form a suitable ring of suitable structural integrity and heat tolerance.
  • a moldable material to form a suitable ring of suitable structural integrity and heat tolerance.
  • the present invention provides an electric motor comprising: (a) a stator, the stator including (i) a stator frame; (ii) a plurality of induction modules mounted or secured to the stator frame and extending downwardly therefrom; (iii) a heat sink integrally formed with the stator frame; and (iv) a cooling manifold disposed within the stator frame and secured therein; and (b) a rotor, the rotor including (i) a rotor frame for rotation relative to the stator frame; and (ii) a pair of opposed, annular magnet arrays mounted to opposing surfaces of the rotor frame and in juxtaposed relation with the plurality of induction modules, the pair of magnet arrays being spaced apart from the plurality of induction modules to provide generally thin, uniform radial gaps on respective sides of the plurality of induction modules.
  • the cooling manifold comprises a pair of cooling pipes in fluid connection with one another via a substantially U-shaped connector.
  • the connector allows a working fluid to flow between the two cooling pipes.
  • each of the cooling pipes include a stopper that prevents continual circulation through the cooling pipes. Instead, when the working fluid comes into contact with the stopper in one cooling pipe, the working fluid is directed through the connector into the other cooling pipe. Thereafter, the working fluid contacts the other stopper and is directed out of the cooling pipe.
  • each of the induction modules of the stator is individually encapsulated in a molded polymer.
  • the stator frame and a compression ring hold the induction modules in place therebetween by a plurality of fasteners.
  • This individual encapsulation substantially reduces costs where the motor of the present invention is large and would otherwise require an equally large overmold.
  • individually encapsulating the stator in this manner provides for more easily replacing defective components within the stator when necessary.

  • the rotor 14 rotates via a driver in the same manner as described above, thereby creating electricity via the induction modules 18 which is then drawn through the busbar 130 connected to the termini 58 of the coils 54 forming a completed electrical circuit.
  • the electrical circuit ends at a plurality of terminal pins 132', 134', 136', 138' that are provided to receive and connect to an electronic motor controller or other mechanical mechanism (not shown) to facilitate commutation and control the direction and speed of the motor 10.
  • the motor 10 of the present invention allows for the application of high volume, cost effective, manufacturing processes that assure the necessary accuracy and consistency in the assembly of various components.
  • the two individual groupings of coils 54 produce two separate distinct voltages when the rotor 14 is rotated relative to the stator 12.
  • the difference between the two voltages unique to each of the separate circuits is a function of the difference between the numbers of windings 56 within the individual coils 54 in each grouping.
  • the grouping with the greater number of windings 56 within its coils 54 will produce a current at a higher voltage than the grouping with the lower number windings 56. In this manner, various voltages may be drawn off from the present invention when functioning as a generator.
