MOUNTING STRUCTURE FOR ELECTRIC MOTOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18461638 titled 'MOUNTING STRUCTURE FOR ELECTRIC MOTOR

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a mounting structure for an electric motor, where the stator core is fastened to the case by bolts inserted through specific fastening holes to break the radial rigidity symmetry about the axis.

  • The stator core of the electric motor has a cylindrical shape with teeth in the inner peripheral portion and holes in the outer peripheral portion.
  • The stator core is attached to the case using bolts inserted through at least three fastening holes, breaking the radial rigidity symmetry about the axis.
  • The polygon formed by connecting the fastening holes includes the axis.

Potential Applications

This technology could be applied in various electric motor systems, such as industrial machinery, automotive applications, and household appliances.

Problems Solved

This mounting structure helps to improve the overall stability and performance of the electric motor by breaking the radial rigidity symmetry, reducing vibrations and enhancing efficiency.
