FIELD MAGNETON OF ROTARY ELECTRIC MACHINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240113580 titled 'FIELD MAGNETON OF ROTARY ELECTRIC MACHINE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a field magnet of a rotary electric machine that includes magnets with a yoke provided along one of the inner or outer peripheral surfaces of each magnet. The yoke consists of a cylindrical main body extending in an axial direction from one end surface of each magnet to the other, and an annular flange extending radially with an abutting surface to contact the end surface of each magnet. The abutting surface has circumferential and radial grooves for improved performance.

  • Magnets with yoke for rotary electric machines:
   * Yoke includes cylindrical main body and annular flange.
   * Abutting surface of flange has circumferential and radial grooves.
   * Grooves are strategically placed for optimal performance.

Potential Applications

The technology can be applied in various rotary electric machines such as motors, generators, and other electromechanical devices.

Problems Solved

  • Improved magnetic field strength and stability.
  • Enhanced efficiency and performance of rotary electric machines.

Benefits

  • Increased reliability and durability.
  • Better control and efficiency in operation.
  • Reduced maintenance and downtime.

Potential Commercial Applications

Optimized field magnet design for electric vehicles, industrial machinery, renewable energy systems, and more.

Possible Prior Art

Prior art may include similar designs of field magnets with yokes in rotary electric machines, but the specific configuration of circumferential and radial grooves for improved performance may be novel.

Unanswered Questions

How does the presence of grooves on the abutting surface affect the overall magnetic field strength and stability of the rotary electric machine?

The grooves on the abutting surface may alter the magnetic flux distribution and interaction between the magnets and the yoke, potentially influencing the overall performance of the machine.

What manufacturing processes are required to produce the field magnet with yoke as described in the patent application?

The patent application does not provide details on the manufacturing methods or techniques needed to fabricate the field magnet with yoke, which could be crucial for commercial implementation and scalability.


Original Abstract Submitted

a field magneton of a rotary electric machine includes magnets, and a yoke provided along one of an inner peripheral surface and an outer peripheral surface of each magnet. the yoke includes a cylindrical main body extending in an axial direction from a first end surface of each magnet to a second end surface thereof, and an annular flange extending from the main body in a radial direction and including an abutting surface configured to abut against the first end surface of each magnet. the abutting surface is provided with at least one of an annular circumferential groove and radial grooves. the circumferential groove is formed at an intermediate position separated away from a base edge and a tip edge of the abutting surface. the radial grooves are formed at prescribed intervals and extend from the base edge to the tip edge.
