MOTOR UNIT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18500353 titled 'MOTOR UNIT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a motor unit with a rotor, stator core, stator coil, and a first busbar with a reinforced section.

  • Rotor supported rotatably
  • Stator core facing the rotor in a radial direction
  • Stator coil disposed on the stator core
  • First busbar with a plate shape, base end connected to the stator coil, and a distal end with a connection terminal
  • Linear section of the first busbar extending along a straight line
  • Reinforced section in the linear section where the thickness direction varies along the width direction

Potential Applications

The motor unit described in the patent application could be used in various applications such as electric vehicles, industrial machinery, and household appliances.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of efficiently transferring electrical current between the stator coil and external components in a motor unit.

Benefits

The reinforced section of the first busbar improves the durability and efficiency of the motor unit, leading to increased performance and longevity.

Potential Commercial Applications

The motor unit could be commercially applied in electric vehicle propulsion systems, industrial automation equipment, and HVAC systems.

Possible Prior Art

One possible prior art could be similar motor units with busbars, but without the specific design of a reinforced section in the linear section of the first busbar.

Unanswered Questions

How does the reinforced section of the first busbar impact the overall efficiency of the motor unit?

The reinforced section of the first busbar is designed to improve the durability and efficiency of the motor unit by ensuring a stable and reliable connection between the stator coil and external components. This design feature helps reduce energy loss and heat generation, leading to improved overall performance.

Are there any specific industries or applications where the motor unit with a reinforced busbar section would be particularly beneficial?

The motor unit with a reinforced busbar section could be particularly beneficial in industries or applications that require high reliability, efficiency, and durability from their motor systems. For example, electric vehicles, industrial machinery, and renewable energy systems could greatly benefit from the enhanced performance and longevity offered by this technology.


Original Abstract Submitted

A motor unit disclosed herein may comprise: a rotor supported rotatably; a stator core facing the rotor in a radial direction; a stator coil disposed on the stator core; and a first busbar having a plate shape and including a base end connected to the stator coil and a distal end including a connection terminal.
