ROTOR OF AN ELECTRIC MACHINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18549741 titled 'ROTOR OF AN ELECTRIC MACHINE

Simplified Explanation

The invention is related to a rotor of an electric machine, where the rotor body can be rotated about a rotor axis and has a plurality of rotor poles, each with a pole center axis. The rotor poles have a two-layer magnet assembly, with an inner layer of at least three magnets and an outer layer composed of two magnets. The inner layer forms a radially outwardly open arc, while the outer layer has increasing distances between the magnets radially outwards. The magnets of both layers have an angle of inclination with respect to the pole center axis.

  • Rotor of an electric machine with a two-layer magnet assembly for improved performance.
  • Inner layer of at least three magnets and an outer layer of two magnets for each rotor pole.
  • Magnets in the outer layer have increasing distances radially outwards.
  • Magnets in both layers have an angle of inclination with respect to the pole center axis.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various electric machines, such as generators, motors, and other rotating machinery where high efficiency and performance are required.

Problems Solved

This innovation solves the problem of improving the magnetic field strength and efficiency of electric machines by optimizing the magnet arrangement in the rotor poles.

Benefits

The benefits of this technology include increased power output, improved efficiency, reduced energy consumption, and enhanced overall performance of electric machines.

Potential Commercial Applications

Potential commercial applications of this technology include electric vehicles, wind turbines, industrial machinery, and any other equipment utilizing electric machines for power generation or conversion.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be the use of single-layer magnet assemblies in rotor poles of electric machines, which may not provide the same level of performance and efficiency as the two-layer magnet assembly described in this invention.

Unanswered Questions

How does the two-layer magnet assembly affect the overall weight and size of the rotor in comparison to traditional single-layer magnet assemblies?

The article does not provide information on the weight and size implications of using a two-layer magnet assembly in the rotor of an electric machine.

Are there any potential challenges or limitations in implementing this two-layer magnet assembly in existing electric machines?

The article does not address any challenges or limitations that may arise when retrofitting or integrating this new rotor design into current electric machine designs.


Original Abstract Submitted
