ROTATING ELECTRIC MACHINE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING ROTOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18330456 titled 'ROTATING ELECTRIC MACHINE AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING ROTOR
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a rotor for a rotating electric machine that includes a rotating shaft and a permanent magnet. The rotor also includes a sleeve made of a carbon fiber reinforced polymer that covers the outer surface of the permanent magnet. A resin film is joined to the outer circumferential wall of the sleeve, and a plurality of ridges are formed on the resin film. A riblet, which is recessed relative to the ridges, is formed between the ridges.
- The rotor includes a rotating shaft and a permanent magnet.
- A sleeve made of carbon fiber reinforced polymer covers the outer surface of the permanent magnet.
- A resin film is joined to the outer circumferential wall of the sleeve.
- The resin film has a plurality of ridges formed on its outer circumferential wall.
- A riblet, which is recessed relative to the ridges, is formed between the ridges.
Potential Applications:
- Electric motors
- Generators
- Wind turbines
- Electric vehicles
Problems Solved:
- Provides a protective covering for the permanent magnet
- Enhances the strength and durability of the rotor
- Reduces friction and drag during rotation
Benefits:
- Improved performance and efficiency of the rotating electric machine
- Increased lifespan of the rotor
- Reduced maintenance and replacement costs
Original Abstract Submitted
A rotor constituting a rotating electric machine includes a rotating shaft and a permanent magnet. A sleeve covering the outer surface of the permanent magnet is attached to the rotating shaft. The sleeve is made of a carbon fiber reinforced polymer. A resin film is joined to an outer circumferential wall of the sleeve via a joining material. A plurality of ridges are formed on the outer circumferential wall of the resin film. A riblet recessed relatively to the plurality of ridges is formed between the plurality of ridges.
