MOTOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18500626 titled 'MOTOR
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a motor with a rotor, stator, housing, and annular member for sealing and injecting refrigerant towards the coil. The annular member includes holes covered with mesh filters.
- The motor includes a rotor, stator, housing, and annular member.
- The annular member seals the stator core and allows refrigerant injection towards the coil.
- The annular member has holes covered with mesh filters for controlled refrigerant flow.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various electric motors, such as those used in HVAC systems, refrigeration units, and industrial machinery.
Problems Solved
1. Sealing the stator core and housing to prevent leakage. 2. Providing a controlled refrigerant flow towards the coil for efficient cooling.
Benefits
1. Improved motor efficiency and performance. 2. Enhanced durability and reliability due to proper cooling. 3. Reduced maintenance needs and extended lifespan of the motor.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Refrigerant-Injected Motor Annular Member with Mesh Filters" could find applications in industries such as HVAC, refrigeration, and manufacturing for improved motor performance and longevity.
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to motor cooling systems and seals used in electric motors, but specific information on similar technologies with refrigerant injection and mesh filters is not readily available.
Unanswered Questions
How does the refrigerant injection system affect the overall efficiency of the motor?
The abstract mentions refrigerant injection towards the coil for cooling, but it does not elaborate on how this process impacts the motor's efficiency and performance.
What materials are used for the mesh filters, and how do they affect the refrigerant flow?
While the abstract mentions mesh filters covering the holes in the annular member, it does not specify the materials used for these filters or how they influence the refrigerant flow within the motor.
Original Abstract Submitted
A motor may include a rotor; a stator comprising a stator core and a coil; a housing that houses the rotor and the stator; and a first annular member that provides a seal between a first end face of the stator core in an axial direction of the stator core and an inner wall surface of the housing. The first annular member may include a plurality of first holes through which refrigerant is injected toward a first coil end of the coil protruding from the first end face of the stator core. At least one of the plurality of first holes may be covered with at least one mesh filter.
