SENSING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18734391 titled 'SENSING DEVICE
The abstract describes a patent application for a motor with a unique stator and rotor configuration, including a sensor and collector.
- The motor includes a stator with a first stator tooth and a second stator tooth, each with multiple teeth that overlap radially.
- A sensor and collector are positioned between the stator teeth in the radial direction.
- The sensor is mounted on a circuit board within a housing, with the collector having a first and second collector within it.
- The housing features a protrusion with a groove that overlaps the collectors in the radial direction.
Potential Applications: - Electric vehicles - Industrial machinery - Robotics
Problems Solved: - Improved efficiency in motor operation - Enhanced sensor functionality - Compact design for space-constrained applications
Benefits: - Increased motor performance - Precise sensor data collection - Simplified motor assembly process
