(drive principle of axial gap electric motor)

Next the drive principle of the axial gap electric motor that constitutes as stated is described.

Fig. 5 (a) is the sketch map that is used to explain the axial gap electric motor drive principle to (f).Among Fig. 5 (a); The direction of rotation of arrow " a " indication rotor 38; And just be confirmed as and be confirmed as when negative from the flow direction of S utmost point magnet 42, the positive direction of arrow " b " indication magnetic flux when the flow direction from N utmost point field magnet 42 (being designated hereinafter simply as magnet 42).But, not every flux all as arrow " b " indication towards under, some of them are tilted to down.Therefore marking arrow " b " is downward with the expression magnetic flux substantially.

Equally; When resulting from the coil 49 (under the situation of coil 49 supply of current, be wrapped in each tooth 47 of stator 39 around) and through tooth 47 (47u as iron core component; 47v and 47w) flow direction with N polarity that withdraws from just is confirmed as; And the flow direction with S polarity is confirmed as when bearing, the positive direction of arrow " c " indication magnetic flux.But, not every flux all as arrow " c " indication towards directly over, some of them are tilted to.Therefore marking arrow " c " makes progress with the expression magnetic flux substantially.

This external Fig. 5 (a) is in (f), and the tooth 47 of U phase is used label 47u, and the tooth 47 of V phase is used 47v, and the tooth 47 usefulness 47w of W phase indicate.

Fig. 5 (a) illustrates N utmost point magnet 42 and places directly over the U phase tooth 47u, and S utmost point magnet 42 places the state between each V phase tooth 47v and each the W phase tooth 47w.

Under this state, the electric current that flows to the coil 49 of U phase tooth 47u turn-offs, and does not have magnetic flux to produce among the tooth 47u, and only from the magnetic flux flow of N utmost point magnet 42 through tooth 47u.

Can produce the flow through coil 49 of V phase tooth 47v of the electric current with S polarity magnetic flux, tooth 47v excitation S utmost point magnetic flux.The S utmost point magnetic flux of the excited target of tooth 47v repels S utmost point magnet 42, the i.e. magnet of same pole on the direction of arrow " a ".

On the other hand, can produce the flow through coil 49 of W phase tooth 47w of the electric current with N polarity magnetic flux, tooth 47w excitation N utmost point magnetic flux.The N utmost point magnetic flux of the excited target of tooth 47w attracts S utmost point magnet 42, the i.e. magnet of opposite magnetic pole on the direction of arrow " a ".

Rotor 38 rotates on the direction of arrow " a " through the torque towards arrow " a " direction that is caused by repulsive force and attraction, and is converted to state shown in Fig. 5 (b).In other words, N utmost point magnet 42 is between each U phase tooth 47u and each V phase tooth 47v, and S utmost point magnet 42 is positioned at directly over the W phase tooth 47w.

Under this state, the sense of current is changed into and in the coil 49 of U phase tooth 47u, is produced N utmost point magnetic flux.Tooth 47u excitation N utmost point magnetic flux, the N utmost point magnetic flux of excited target repels N utmost point magnet 42, the i.e. magnet of same pole on the direction of arrow " a ".

On the other hand, the sense of current is changed into and in the coil 49 of V phase tooth 47v, is produced S utmost point magnetic flux.Tooth 47u excitation S utmost point magnetic flux, the S utmost point magnetic flux of excited target attracts N utmost point magnet 42, the i.e. magnet of opposite magnetic pole on the direction of arrow " a ".

In addition, the electric current that flows to the coil 49 of W phase tooth 47w turn-offs, and does not have magnetic flux to produce among the tooth 47w, and only from the magnetic flux flow of S utmost point magnet 42 through tooth 47w.

Under this state, rotor 38 rotates on the direction of arrow " a " through the torque towards arrow " a " direction that is caused by repulsive force and attraction, and is converted to state shown in Fig. 5 (c) equally.Identical shown in relation between this state lower tooth 47 and magnet 42 and Fig. 5 (a).But, separately pass ties up on the direction of arrow " a " and changes one by one between each tooth 47 and each N utmost point and the S utmost point magnet 42.

In other words, N utmost point magnet 42 is positioned at directly over the V phase tooth 47v, and S utmost point magnet 42 is between each W phase tooth 47w and each the U phase tooth 47u as one of adjacent set three-phase.

Under the state of Fig. 5 (c), the flux polarity that produces in the electric current of tooth 47v, tooth 47w and adjacent teeth 47u and the coil 49 respectively with the electric current of tooth 47u, tooth 47v and the tooth 47w of next group three-phase of state of Fig. 5 (a) and coil 49 in the flux polarity that produces identical.

In other words, under this state, the torque on arrow " a " direction is produced by repulsive force and attraction, and this torque is rotated rotor 38 and is converted to state shown in Fig. 5 (d) on the direction of arrow " a ".Identical shown in relation between this state lower tooth 47 and magnet 42 and Fig. 5 (b).But, under this state, the relation between one of the N utmost point of each tooth 47 and each magnet 42 and S utmost point also changes on the direction of arrow " a " one by one.

In other words, N utmost point magnet 42 is between each V phase tooth 47v and each W phase tooth 47w, and S utmost point magnet 42 is positioned at directly over the U phase tooth 47u as one of adjacent set three-phase.

Under the state of Fig. 5 (d), the flux polarity that produces in the electric current of tooth 47v, tooth 47w and adjacent teeth 47u and the coil 49 respectively with the electric current of tooth 47u, tooth 47v and the tooth 47w of next group three-phase of Fig. 5 (b) state and coil 49 in the flux polarity that produces identical.

Below similarly, rotor 38 is converted to the state of Fig. 5 (e), and then is converted to the state of Fig. 5 (f).Like this, N utmost point magnet 42 is between each W phase tooth 47w and each tooth 47u of this group three-phase.The one group of three-phase that comprises U phase tooth 47u, V phase tooth 47v and W phase tooth 47w shown in Fig. 5 (a) left-hand side and this terminate to the driving relationship between N utmost point magnet 42 and the S utmost point magnet.

Shown in Fig. 5 (a); Comprise U phase tooth 47u, V phase tooth 47v and W mutually tooth 47w another group three-phase and another to another driving relationship between N utmost point magnet 42 and the S utmost point magnet (a pair of N utmost point magnet 42 that has terminated with aforementioned relation is adjacent with S utmost point magnet, and is positioned at the last right upper reaches) and for example Fig. 5 (a) shown in (f), continuously begun.

In addition, Fig. 5 (a) is arrived in the explanation of (f), for easy to understand, the positioning relation between magnet 42 and the tooth 47 is divided into six stages.But as the electric current that is applied to coil 49, sinusoidal electric current is applied to three teeth 47 of every group of three-phase adjacent one another are continuously with the phase difference of rule in fact.The direction of the magnetic flux that in coil 49, produces of the electric current that applies magnet 42 rotations because of rotor change with size.

In addition, in actual arrangement, each distance between the N utmost point and the S utmost point magnet 42 is than Fig. 5 (a) shorter shown in (f), and a tooth 47 can be all relative with S utmost point magnet 42 with N utmost point magnet 42.In addition, have a plurality of extremely right single magnets rather than odd number magnet 42 if use, then the N utmost point and the S utmost point will contact with each other, therebetween not at interval.

Relation shown in Fig. 5 (a) to (f) changes to another in all three-phase groups of the tooth that is associated with adjacent teeth and magnet 47 and a pair of two magnets 42 along the direction of rotation order.In other words, a tooth of two teeth of one group of three-phase of tooth 47 and the adjacent set three-phase of tooth 47 forms next group three-phase, and magnet of a pair of two magnets 42 forms with one of two magnets 42 of adjacency pair mutually and descends a pair of magnet.

The electric current that is used to change the coil flux direction changes under the control of inverter 54, and the moment that applies electric current also inverter 54 controls down basis by magnetic pole detecting element 57a shown in Figure 3,57b and 57c the detection of N utmost point magnet 42 and S utmost point magnet 42 position of rotation is provided.

As illustrated; In axial gap electric motor; Between rotor 38 and stator 39, form magnetic circuit; The excitation of each tooth 47 of stator 39 through be wrapped in coil around each tooth 47 corresponding to the N utmost point of the magnet 42 of rotor 38 with the S utmost point and order changes, thereby with repulsive force and the attraction that the magnet 42 of rotor 38 overcomes the excitation of each tooth 47 rotor 38 is rotated.

Fig. 6 illustrates in the actual arrangement the relative sketch map of a tooth 47 and N utmost point magnet 42 and S utmost point magnet 42, and wherein the position of N utmost point magnet 42 and S utmost point magnet 42 is close to each other.In this sketch map, arrow " a " is still indicated the direction of rotation of rotor 38.In addition, the magnetic flux flows direction between N utmost point magnet 42 and the S utmost point magnet is by arrow G 1, G2 and G3 indication.The transition state that occurs when in addition, this state changes to each other with the state shown in Fig. 5 (a) to (f) is identical.

Among Fig. 6, in the vertical view shown in arrow E, electric current is flowed through counterclockwise and is wrapped in the coil 49 around the tooth 47 on the stator 39.Therefore, produce in the coil 49 and, and intersect with the magnetic flux that between N utmost point magnet 42 and S utmost point magnet 42, flows by magnetic flux flows shown in arrow G 4 of tooth 47 excitations.At this moment, the attraction of the repulsion of N utmost point magnet 42 and S utmost point magnet 42 also produces the torque along arrow " a " direction in rotor 38.

In Fig. 6; When magnet 42 moves to other positions with respect to tooth 47; And the magnet 42 of left-hand side is replaced by N utmost point magnet; And the magnet of right-hand side is when being replaced by S utmost point magnet, supplies with indicated in the opposite direction of the sense of current and the arrow E of tooth 47, and promptly this direction is changed into clockwise direction in the vertical view of sketch map.

By way of parenthesis, in having the motor of above-mentioned basic structure, because the structural limitations on its rotating speed, its rotary power is not bigger than certain limit value.If be converted into motorcycle speed, in order to obtain the necessary torque of vehicle ' shown in Figure 1, limit value approximately per hour is 20km.But be appreciated that these data can be according to variations such as the gearratio of diameter of tyres, travelling gear system, motor specifications.

Fig. 7 is the sketch map of the reason of explanation common motor rotational speed limit.Fig. 7 illustrates N utmost point magnet 42 shown in Fig. 5 (c), V phase tooth 47v and the positioning states of other structures on every side thereof.

In addition, Fig. 7 only shows the coil 49 of V phase tooth 47v and has omitted the coil of other teeth.As with reference to figure 5 illustrations, when magnet 42 be positioned at tooth 47 directly over the time, do not have electric current to be applied in the coil 49.

In Fig. 7, rotor 38, stator 39 and tooth 47 (47u, 47v and 47w) are processed by soft magnetic material.Because the distance ' ' d ' ' between the apparent surface of magnet 42 and tooth 47 is very little, magnetic resistance is very little at interval.Like this, the magnetic flux that between N utmost point magnet 42 (N) and S utmost point magnet 42 (S), flows is divided into two parts, and its part becomes magnetic flux flow 61, and its another part becomes magnetic flux flow 62, the magnetic pole of the magnet 42 of flowing through, rotor 38, tooth 47 and stator 39.

So, comprise that the bigger magnetic flux of aforementioned two magnetic flux flows 61 of mixing and 62 passes the coil 49 of tooth 47v via the tooth 47v that places coil 49.

When arrow " a " direction is rotated, streak coil 49 at rotor 38,, in coil 49, produce electric current according to Faraday's electromagnetic induction law owing to pass the magnetic flux of coil 49.The electric current that produces in the coil 49 produces the magnetic flux with S polarity from coil 49 conversely.

In other words, work to attract N utmost point magnet 42 (N) by the electric current that produces in the coil 49 S utmost point magnetic flux that (promptly in tooth 47) produces in coil 49.

In other words, resistance (magnetic resistance) influences the rotation of rotor 38.Rotor 38 rotation is fast more, and it is just fast more to comprise that aforementioned two magnetic flux flows 61 that are mixed together in the coil 49 and 62 magnetic flux streak the speed of coil 49.It is fast more that magnetic flux streaks the speed of coil 49, and the electric current that produces in the coil 49 is just big more.The electric current that produces in the coil 49 is big more, and the magnetic flux of increase rotor 38 magnetic resistance that electric current produces in tooth 47v is just big more.

Soon, the rotary power size of rotor 38 increases reaches mutual balance with magnetic resistance.This poised state is exactly the limit value of above-mentioned rotating speed.Certainly, this limit value can rise with the increase of power supply.But this is not good scheme, because power consumption increases with geometric progression.

As improving axial gap electric motor revolving property weakness, be about to rotation status and change into the method for low torque high speed rotating, known a kind of field magnet reduction control method from the high torque (HT) low speed rotation to increase the method for rotary power.

Fig. 8 is the sketch map that schematically shows field magnet reduction control method.As with reference to figure 7 illustrations, coil 49 does not apply under the state of electric current in the time of directly over N utmost point magnet 42 (for S utmost point magnet 42 too) is arranged in tooth 47, when rotating speed increases, and the rotation of bigger drag effects rotor 38.

But; Like diagram; If when N utmost point magnet be positioned at tooth 47 directly over the time, along the indicated direction of arrow E (in the opposite direction) coil 49 is applied medium electric current for 42 of S utmost point magnets, then produce magnetic flux (in the opposite direction) for 42 of S utmost point magnets with N polarity along arrow G 4 indicated directions.

The magnetic flux that this coil produces plays a part to weaken like arrow G 2 indicated N utmost point magnetic fluxs from N utmost point magnet 42 to tooth 47.In other words, because magnetic flux works to weaken magnetic flux flow 61 shown in Figure 7 and 62, so corresponding with the weakening magnetic flux flow, magnetic resistance reduces and rotary power becomes big.That is, can realize the low torque high speed rotating.

In field magnet reduction control method; New electric current further is increased to and will be applied to the electric current that coil is used for rotation (to produce torque); The phase place of this new electric current be applied to tooth 47 have U mutually, V mutually and W the phase place of the alternating current of this three-phase is inconsistent mutually; This three-phase alternating current directly over electromagnet 42 shown in Figure 5 is positioned at tooth 47, electric current is zero constantly to apply; Just, this new electric current is to become at electric current to be engraved in the electric current that the direction that weakens the magnetic flux from electromagnet 42 to coil produces magnetic flux time zero.In other words, the electric current that newly applies is to not contribution of rotating torques itself.

In addition, also explanation above, the method as realizing motor low torque high speed rotating has another kind of method on direction of rotation, to increase the relative distance of rotor and stator, promptly increases the magnetic gap between rotor and the stator.

But inventor of the present invention notices, the flowing instability of magnetic flux flow in the magnetic gap between rotor and the stator.The present invention comes from inventor's this true attention of flowing instability to magnetic flux flow in the magnetic gap.

The inventor has found the good part of magnetic flux flow flow condition, if also find to form variable magnetic gap at this place, promptly the may command magnetic flux flow flows.Thereby can improve the controllability of output characteristic.Hereinafter is explained.

(according to the structure and the operation of the axial gap electric motor of first embodiment of the invention)

Next, according to the basic structure and the drive principle of above-mentioned axial gap electric motor, structure and operation according to the axial gap electric motor of first embodiment of the invention are described.

Fig. 9 is the sectional view that axial gap electric motor and the structure around the postbrachium rear end according to first embodiment are together illustrated.In addition among Fig. 9, with part identical shown in Fig. 2 be endowed with Fig. 2 in used identical label and symbol.

Figure 10 is the exploded perspective view according to the axial gap electric motor of first embodiment.The structure of the axial gap electric motor (hereafter is a motor) of present embodiment is described with reference to figure 9 and Figure 10 below.

At first, the motor 70 of present embodiment has rotor 71.Rotor 71 is configured to the same axis rotation around rotating shaft 72 of video disc.Rotor 71 has the identical structure of rotor shown in the basic structure with Fig. 2 and Fig. 4 38.

In other words in Figure 10, rotor 71, rotating shaft 72, rotor-side yoke 73, ring segment 74, conical section 75, first cylindrical section 76, ring segment 77, second cylindrical section 78 and field magnet 79 are identical with field magnet 42 with Fig. 2 and rotor shown in Figure 4 38, rotating shaft 43, rotor-side yoke 41, ring segment 41a, conical section 41b, the first cylindrical section 41c, ring segment 41d, second cylindrical section (rotating shaft) 41e respectively.

It is relative with rotor 71 (more particularly, being the surface of having arranged a plurality of field magnets 79) that stator (stator segment) 88 is arranged as.Stator 88 is divided into two parts, first stator segment 83 and second stator segment 87.

First stator segment 83 comprises first stator core 80, and it has a plurality of first teeth 81 by clamper (not shown) clamping.First tooth 81 arranges that by this way promptly an end surfaces 81a and the rotor 72 of each first tooth 81 are relative in the axial direction.Each tooth 81 has the winding 82 around the perimeter side surface 81c that is wrapped in except two end surfaces (81a, 81b).

In addition, first tooth 81 forms by this way, and the end surfaces 81a of each promptly relative with rotor 71 tooth 81 is bigger than opposite end surfaces 81b.Like this,, make an interval that exists between the end surfaces 81a relative narrow, and make between the opposite surfaces 81b another wide at interval with rotor 71 for the interval between adjacent first tooth 81 and 81.

Each first tooth 81 with each winding 82 is molded and shaped to form each first stator segment 83 that overall structure is an annular with winding 82.In addition; Each winding (coil) 82 that is applied to first tooth 81 of first stator segment 83 has been to use and Current Control with reference to the said identical method of figure 5 with the drive current control that produces torque; The basic driver method that does not promptly comprise field magnet reduction control, and under drive current control, produce motor torque.

In addition, itself forms second stator core (87) that has second tooth 84 second stator segment 87, and the number of second tooth is with identical by the number of first tooth 81 of clamper 85 clampings.Each second tooth 84 of second stator segment 87 has an end 84a, and it is arranged as relative with opposite end surface 81b, and said end surfaces 81b is positioned at its reverse side with respect to the end surfaces 81a of first tooth 81 of first stator segment 83 on rotor 71 opposites.

The other end 84b of each second tooth 84 is press-fitted one of into a plurality of appearance tooth openings 86 respectively, and these appearance tooth openings 86 are formed to be treated on the stationary annular clamper 85.Second tooth 84 be press-fitted second tooth 84 and be fixed to clamper 85 common second stator segments 87 that form that hold tooth opening 86.Preferably, second tooth 84 also is Unitarily molded with clamper 85.Therefore, these parts are molded and shaped in this embodiment.But, mould is not shown among Figure 10.

Figure 11 is the stereogram that the state that motor 70 with said structure installs with the Rotable Control System close set is shown.Among this external Figure 11, with the same parts shown in Figure 10 be endowed with Figure 10 in used identical label.In addition, the mould of first stator segment 83 and second stator segment 87 is not shown in Figure 11.In addition, clamper 85 middle fingers of second stator segment 87 shown in Figure 11 show the otch 89 (referring to the otch 59 of Fig. 4) that omits among Figure 10.

Shown in figure 11, rotor 71, first stator segment 83 and second stator segment 87 of motor 70 shown in the decomposition view of Figure 10 are positioned to separate slightly each other along the rotating shaft direction successively.

Although not shown, so-called first stator segment 83 is fixed to the rear end 23a of postbrachium 23 shown in Figure 2 through the engaged section that forms at molding part.On the contrary, explanation second stator segment 87 is not completely fixed below, and can pivot a little with respect to first stator segment 83.

Shown in figure 11; The pivot that is used for second stator segment 87 constitutes by this way; Promptly be used for the small diameter gear engagement of reduction gearing 91 of band toothed portion and the Rotable Control System of gears engaged 90, wherein this band toothed portion is formed at a part of perimeter side surface of the clamper 85 of second stator segment 87.

The small diameter gear engagement of the gear wheel in large diameter of reduction gearing 91 and next stage reduction gearing 92, and the engagement of the small diameter gear of the gear wheel in large diameter of reduction gearing 92 and third level reduction gearing 93.Worm gear 95 engagements that the gear wheel in large diameter of reduction gearing 93 is most advanced and sophisticated with being fixedly mounted on motor 94 rotating shafts.

Motor 94 is connected to unshowned driving pulse voltage output end of controller 97, supplies with the electric power that is used for drive circuit from power supply 96 to this controller 97.Through worm gear 95 axis of motor 94 forward and reverse rotations is changed into the direction original with it extension that meets at right angles.The gear wheel in large diameter that is slowed down and be delivered to reduction gearing 93 is gone back in rotation.Rotation is passed to the band toothed portion 90 that is used for gears engaged on the clamper 85 that is formed at second stator segment 87 then through corresponding to successively three grades of decelerations of gear ratio between reduction gearing 93,92 and 91.

Therefore, constitute can be mobile slightly with respect to first stator segment 83 on the direction of rotation of rotor 71 for second stator segment 87.Promptly second stator segment 87 can be with continuously, the intermittently and reciprocally motion of narrow angle of pivot.In other words, second stator segment 87 can be stepless on positive and negative two directions along the direction of rotation of rotor 71, slight movement off and on.

Figure 12 (a) and (b) and (c) sketch map are used to explain angle of pivot and the operation that second stator segment 87 is moved reciprocatingly with respect to first stator segment 83 along the direction of rotation of rotor 71.In addition; At Figure 12 (a) and (b) with (c); For second tooth 84 that second stator segment 87 simply is shown transition state, omitted winding shown in Figure 11 82, otch 89 in this sketch map and be used for band toothed portion 90, Rotable Control System of gears engaged etc. with respect to first tooth 81 of first stator segment 83.

Figure 12 (a) illustrates the position relation of second tooth 84 of second stator segment 87 when carrying out the high torque (HT) low speed rotation with respect to first tooth 81 of first stator segment 83.In this embodiment, the position in this position relation is the reference position.

Above-mentioned pivoting action along with second stator segment 87; Second tooth 84 can be along by the direction of rotation of the rotor 71 of arrow " a " indication in a narrow angular range, pivot (reciprocating motion); From reference position shown in Figure 12 (a) is the position that each second tooth 84 faces each first tooth 81; Through the half-way shown in Figure 12 (b), be the position, middle between each first tooth 81 and 81 to maximum removable position shown in Figure 12 (c).In addition, half-way shown in Figure 12 (b) can be the optional position of confirming at stepless and intermittence in the pivoting action.

Figure 13 (a) and (b) be used for explanation from the high torque (HT) low speed rotation in low torque high speed rotating scope, the sketch map of the Spin Control principle that motor 70 among this embodiment is carried out.

In addition, simple in order to illustrate, Figure 13 (a) with (b) in omitted and be wrapped in each tooth 81 winding 82 and mould on every side.Similarly, omitted the mould of second tooth 84 and clamper 85 in the sketch map.

In addition, Figure 13 (a) shows high torque (HT) low speed rotation state shown in Figure 12 (a), and under this state, each second tooth 84 faces each first tooth 81.Figure 13 (b) illustrates low torque high speed rotating state shown in Figure 12 (c), under this state, and the middle position of each second tooth 84 between each first tooth 81 and 81.

I the magnet 79i that Figure 13 (a) also shows rotor 71 faces i the first tooth 81i of first stator segment 83 of stator side, and the i of second stator segment 87 of stator side second tooth 84i faces the state of the first tooth 81i.Be that Figure 13 (a) shows and identical state shown in Figure 12 (a).

In addition; The position relation that Figure 13 (b) shows between the first tooth 81i of magnet 79i and first stator segment 83 of rotor 71 does not change, and the second tooth 84i of second stator segment 87 is at each the first tooth 81i of first stator segment 83 and the state of the position, middle between the 81i+1.Be that Figure 13 (b) shows and identical state shown in Figure 12 (c).

In Figure 13 (a); Second tooth 84 (84i-1,84i, 84i+1) and the clamper 85 of the ring segment 74 of rotor-side yoke 73, first tooth 81 (81i-1,81i, 81i+1) of first stator segment 83, second stator segment 87 all belong to rotor 71, and have strong magnetic conductivity.In addition, the apparent surface of the magnet 79 (79i-1,79i, 79i+1) and first tooth 81, and the apparent surface of first tooth 81 and second tooth 84 is very approaching respectively each other.Like this, the magnetic resistance " k " between the apparent surface of the magnetic resistance " h " between the apparent surface of the magnet 79 (79i-1,79i, 79i+1) and first tooth 81 and first tooth 81 and second tooth 84 is very little.

In addition, as stated, the end surfaces 81a of each first tooth 81 relative with rotor 71 is formed bigger than its other end surface 81b.Like this, between each adjacent first tooth 81, the magnetic resistance " j " that forms between the end surfaces 81a relative with rotor 71 is much littler than the magnetic resistance that forms between other surfaces; But, this " j " greater than and rotor 71 between magnetic resistance " h ".The relation that (h ≒ k < j) arranged between the magnetic resistance in other words.

Like this; The magnetic flux that produces between magnet 79i (confirming as the N utmost point) and the adjacent magnets 79i-1 (thereby being the S utmost point) is hardly through having the part of magnetic resistance " j "; But forming strong magnetic flux flow 98a, it is through part, the first tooth 81i with magnetic resistance " h ", the part with magnetic resistance " k ", the second tooth 84i, clamper 85, the second tooth 84i-1, the part with magnetic resistance " k ", the first tooth 81i-1, the part with magnetic resistance " h " and ring segment 74.

In addition; The magnetic flux that produces between magnet 79i (the N utmost point) and another adjacent magnets 79i+1 (the S utmost point) is hardly through having the part of magnetic resistance " j "; But forming strong magnetic flux flow 98b, it is through part, the first tooth 81i with magnetic resistance " h ", the part with magnetic resistance " k ", the second tooth 84i, clamper 85, the second tooth 84i+1, the part with magnetic resistance " k ", the first tooth 81i+1, the part with magnetic resistance " h " and ring segment 74.

Even magnet 79i is not N utmost point magnet but S utmost point magnet, these phenomenons also take place, and just magnetic flux is advanced in the opposite direction, and form strong magnetic flux flow flow through relevant magnet 79, first tooth 81, second tooth 84, clamper 85 and ring segment 74 similarly.

If explained above and do not taked any measure, strong magnetic flux will cause producing very soon the magnetic resistance of limit value, and it resists the transition of motor 70 from the high torque (HT) low speed rotation to the low torque high speed rotating.Also explained above and had the field magnet reduction control that makes this limit value postpone appearance.

But in the present embodiment; Like Figure 11 and Figure 12 (a) and (b) and (c); Second tooth 84 can be along indicated rotor 71 direction of rotation of arrow " a "; Face the maximum removable position of the reference position of each first tooth 81 to the position, middle each first tooth 81 and 81 from each second tooth 84, (reciprocating motion) pivots in narrow angular range.

Supposition second tooth 84 is pivoted to the maximum removable position shown in Figure 13 (b) from the reference position shown in Figure 13 (a) now.At this moment, between the apparent surface of each first tooth 81 and each second tooth 84, form magnetic resistance " m ", it is greater than the magnetic resistance under state " k ".In addition, because each second tooth 84 is arranged in from the structure of clamper 85 protrusions, so formed magnetic resistance " n ", it is greater than the magnetic resistance " m " of second tooth, 84 formation.

In other words, the relation that has " m < n " therebetween." m " compares with magnetic resistance, and magnetic resistance " n " can be ignored.Like this; Under state shown in Figure 13 (b); When second tooth 84 moves to the position, middle between each first tooth 81 and adjacent another first tooth 81; The magnetic resistance that between the 81b of the surface, opposite end of each second tooth and each first tooth, forms almost is " m ", and wherein surface, opposite end 81b is positioned at reverse side with respect to the end surfaces 81a on rotor 71 opposites.

As stated, the end surfaces 81a of each first tooth 81 relative with rotor 71 forms bigger than its other end surface 81b.Like this, between each adjacent first tooth 81, the magnetic resistance " j " that between the end surfaces 81a relative with rotor 71, forms is very little, under state shown in Figure 13 (b), forms the relation of (j < 2m) between magnetic resistance " j " and the magnetic resistance " m ".

In other words; The distance (magnetic resistance " j ") that between the end surfaces 81a of the end surfaces 81a of each first tooth 81 relative with rotor 71 and adjacent another first tooth 81, limits is less than the minimum range (magnetic resistance " m ") that between each second tooth and surface, opposite end 81b, limits, and wherein surface, opposite end 81b is positioned at reverse side with respect to the end surfaces 81a of first tooth on rotor 71 opposites.

Shown in Figure 13 (b); Through introducing this state; Be that relation between the magnetic resistance of each member is that < < < state of n, the magnetic flux that between magnet 79i (the N utmost point) and another adjacent magnets 79i-1 (the S utmost point), forms form weak magnetic flux flow 99a to m to j to h, because the reason of magnetic resistance " m " and magnetic resistance " n "; Weak magnetic flux flow 99a does not flow to the second tooth 84i-1 or clamper 85 from the first tooth 81i, but through the first tooth 81i, the part with magnetic resistance " j ", the first tooth 81i-1 and ring segment 74.

In addition; The magnetic flux that forms between magnet 79i (the N utmost point) and another adjacent magnets 79i+1 (the S utmost point) forms weak magnetic flux flow 99b; Because the reason of magnetic resistance " m " and magnetic resistance " n "; Weak magnetic flux flow 99b does not flow to the second tooth 84i+1 or clamper 85 from the first tooth 81i, but through the first tooth 81i, the part with magnetic resistance " j ", the first tooth 81i+1 and ring segment 74.

Like this, do not streak the unshowned winding 82 of each first tooth 81, and streak the magnetic resistance that resistance rotor 71 that these magnetic fluxs of winding 82 produce rotates disappeared on its direction of rotation from the magnetic flux of magnet 79.Therefore rotor can high speed rotating.

Equally similarly, do not flow into the winding of each first tooth 81 from the magnetic flux of magnet 79.Like this, reduced the torque that between first charged tooth 81 and magnet 79, produces and supply with subsequently rotor 71.Promptly realized the low torque high speed operation.

As illustrated, second tooth moves back and forth between following two positions simply, and promptly second tooth faces the position of first tooth and another position of the halfway that second tooth is positioned at adjacent first tooth.Therefore overall structure can be compact.

Explanation now forms the interval of magnetic resistance, the gap (" j ", " k ", " m ", " n " etc.) that promptly causes magnetic resistance.Cause that the gap of magnetic resistance is defined as the magnetic resistance interval of air or equivalent.The gap (hereinafter referred is the gap) that causes magnetic resistance will further specify.

Figure 14 (a) to (e) is the sketch map that explanation changes the contact area differences in magnetic resistance and gap between two members.Usually known, when the magnetic flux flow from magnet will flow between two members of being processed by magnetic material, if any part is confirmed to be the glide path of magnetic flux, then magnet did not provide any unnecessary magnetic flux.

When two members were separated by the gap fully, in any case magnet makes magnetic flux flows as far as possible, and magnetic flux promptly began to flow from the narrowest gap from the part of route the most easily is provided.

Figure 14 (a) shows two magnetic components 101 and the 102 closely-coupled each other states that cross-sectional configuration is alphabetical L.The vertical cross-section area of magnetic component 101 major parts is A, and the vertical cross-section area of magnetic component 101 projections is B.Equally, the vertical cross-section area of the major part of magnetic component 102 is D, and the vertical cross-section area of magnetic component 102 projections is D-B.The horizontal section area of each projection is C, and mutually the same.

Now, given following condition: area A=area D=area C=200S, area B=50S.Equally, confirm to flow to magnetic component 102 from magnetic component 101 from the magnetic flux 103 of the outer magnet of sketch map.

If shown in Figure 14 (b); It is that the area of part and the vertical cross-section of B is part place distance of separation a and the b (a=b) relatively separately from each other of D-B that two magnetic components 101 and 102 move with the area at vertical cross-section, and the area of horizontal surface to be the part of C be in slidable contact with each other.

Move for this; Be the interval of b owing between two magnetic components 101 and 102, formed distance; The magnetic flux flow of the major part of the area A=200S of inflow magnetic component 101 is partly located to become saturated in area B, and is reduced to the magnetic flux flow of the area B=50S that flows through.This magnetic flux flow 103 flows into magnetic component 102 through slidingsurface C1 (area C1=150S, B < C1).

Then; If shown in Figure 14 (c); It is that the area of part and the vertical cross-section of B is part place distance of separation 2a and the 2b relatively separately from each other of D-B that two magnetic components 101 and 102 are moved further with the area at vertical cross-section, and the area of horizontal surface to be the part of C be in slidable contact with each other.

In the case, be that the magnetic flux flow that saturated magnetic flux flow also is reduced to the area B=50S that flows through takes place for the part place of B at area, and flow into magnetic component 102 through slidingsurface C2 (area C2=100S, B < C2).

In other words, between the state of Figure 14 (b) and Figure 14 (c), there is not magnetic resistance to change.Specifically, the interval of on flow direction, two magnetic components 101 and 102 being separated apart from a, b or 2a, 2b is not the interval that causes magnetic resistance, even because this distance changes, magnetic resistance does not change (not changing) yet.That is, this is not the gap at interval.

Further; If shown in Figure 14 (d); It is that the area of part and the vertical cross-section of B is part place distance of separation 3.5a and the 3.5b relatively separately from each other of D-B that two magnetic components 101 and 102 are moved further with the area at vertical cross-section, and the area of horizontal surface to be the part of C be in slidable contact with each other.

At this moment, each area of each horizontal surface is that the slidingsurface area of the part of C is C3=25S.Promptly obtain following relationship: B>C3.Like this, magnetic flux flow 103 is saturated at slidingsurface C3 place, and flows into magnetic component 102 corresponding to the magnetic flux flow of area 25S.

In other words, as the area C of slidingsurface during less than the vertical cross-section area B of magnetic component 101 projections, the magnetic resistance between two magnetic components 101 and 102 has changed for the first time.In other words, magnetic resistance changes the change of depending on each slidingsurface area between two members.

Figure 14 (c) and (d) shown in magnetic resistance to change be not to change (2a and 2b are to the change of 3.5a and 3.5b) by separated distance between two members to cause, but cause by the change (C2 is to the change of C3) of slidingsurface area C.That is separation distance 3.5a that, has changed and 3.5b still do not cause the gap.

Equally; Under the state that Figure 14 (e) illustrates; Two magnetic components 101 and 102 areas at vertical cross-section are that the area of part and the vertical cross-section of B is part place distance of separation 5a and the 5b relatively separately from each other of D-B, make slidingsurface C3 separate distance C 4 from breaking away from fully near state.

As stated, when two members were separated by the gap fully, the magnetic flux flow of magnet is flowed through provided the part of route the most easily, promptly through having the part of the narrowest distance C 4.That is, produce magnetic resistance at part place, and distance C 4 is reluctance gap with distance C 4.Be that magnetic resistance is accordinged to the change of distance C 4 and changed.

In other words, distance C 4 is the gaps that make magnetic resistance change rate; But, not the interval that changes magnetic resistance apart from 5a and 5b, promptly these distances are not the gaps.Any part that is illustrated as the gap in this embodiment all is the above-mentioned part that defines distance C 4.

In the present embodiment of so explanation; Stator is divided at least two parts; And part is with respect to the direction of rotation of rotor, and the direction that promptly flows into the magnetic flux flow of each iron core (corresponding winding is wrapped in around this iron core) from the rotor motion that meets at right angles is to form variable gap; Thereby the output characteristic of big about-face electric rotating machine, and need not to consume the electric power that torque is not had contribution.

Figure 15 (a) and (b) structure of axial gap electric motor possibility among first embodiment (first kind) major part is shown.

Figure 15 (a) illustrates and the identical state of state shown in Figure 13 (a), and each first tooth 81 of first stator segment 83 faces each second tooth 84 of second stator segment 87 under this state." e " is indicated like four-headed arrow in the sketch map, and each second tooth 84 among this embodiment from then on state moves for oblique time and separates with each first tooth 81.

In other words, shown in Figure 15 (b), second stator segment 87 moves on the direction that is parallel to rotor 71 direction of rotation, also with the perpendicular direction of rotor 71 direction of rotation on move, this rotor 71 is outside sketch map.

Like this, between each second tooth 84 of each first tooth 81 of first stator segment and second stator segment 87 and with the perpendicular direction of rotor 71 direction of rotation on distance change to distance shown in Figure 15 (b) " p ' " (p '>p) from distance " p " shown in Figure 15 (a).

In other words, bigger than in the structure shown in Figure 13 (b) of the reluctance gap between each first tooth 83 and each second tooth 84.Therefore, the output characteristic of motor can change in a wider context.

Figure 16 (a) to (d) illustrates the structure of another possibility of axial gap electric motor (second kind) major part among first embodiment.

Like Figure 16 (a) with (b), each first tooth 104 has the ledge 104-1 near each second tooth, 105 side surface at the end surfaces place, and an end surfaces of the said end surfaces and second tooth 105 is relative.

Each first tooth 104 therefore stoped each second tooth 105 move right above shown in Figure 16 (b) over against the position.

In this embodiment, each second tooth 105 also not only moves on the direction that is parallel to rotor 71 direction of rotation, and with the perpendicular direction of rotor 71 direction of rotation on move, its rotor 71 is present in outside the sketch map.Be that each second tooth 105 is oblique mobile down to separate with each first tooth 81.

Figure 16 (c) illustrates a kind of possibility, and wherein each second tooth 105 is like indicated the moving horizontally of arrow " f ", and Figure 16 (d) illustrates alternative dispensing means, and wherein each second tooth 105 obliquely moves down as arrow " g " is indicated.

In this external this possibility, bigger than in the structure shown in Figure 13 (b) of the reluctance gap between each first tooth 104 and each second tooth 105.Therefore, the output characteristic of motor can change in a wider context.

(according to the structure and the operation of the axial gap electric motor of second embodiment of the invention)

Figure 17 (a) illustrates the structure of axial gap electric motor major part among second embodiment to (d).

Like Figure 17 (a) with (c); Each first tooth 106 forms by this way among this embodiment, promptly has winding part 106-2 being arranged and not having the no winding part 106-3 of winding on every side of winding 107 around comprising towards the part below the end 106-1 of rotor 71 ring segments 74.

About this point; Like Figure 17 (b) with (c); Toothed portion 109 and external tooth part 110 in each second tooth 108 is divided into, wherein interior toothed portion 109 has winding part 106-2 corresponding with each first tooth 106, and external tooth part 110 is corresponding with the no winding part 106-3 of each first tooth 106.

The interior toothed portion 109 of each second tooth 108 places the inboard (near central axis one side) of ring gripping device 111, and external tooth part 110 place clamper 111 outsides and two adjacent in midway between the toothed portion 109.

State shown in Figure 17 (c) is identical with state shown in Figure 13 (a) because the interior toothed portion 109 that winding part 106-2 and each second tooth 108 are arranged of each first tooth 106 each other over against.And, do not place the outside that is circular layout and alternately arrange because have winding part 106-3 and external tooth part 110, so magnetic gap is very big and it influences magnetic flux flow hardly.

In contrast, about the positioning relation between the interior toothed portion 109 that winding part 106-2 and each second tooth 108 are arranged of each first tooth 106, state shown in Figure 17 (d) is identical with state shown in Figure 13 (b).Each no winding part 106-3 and each external tooth part 110 each other over against.

In other words, the magnetic flux of each field magnet 79 is through each no winding part 106-3, external tooth part 110 and clamper 111 backflows, and each first tooth 106 of flowing through hardly has a winding part 106-2.That is, can more effectively cut off the magnetic flux that each has winding part 106-2 than embodiment shown in Figure 13 (b).

In addition, in first and second embodiment, the apparent surface of rotor and stator and the apparent surface of two-part stator segment that stator divides, the surface of revolution that is arranged as and is parallel to (in the sketch map flatly) rotor extends; But, the apparent surface of these members is not limited to this being arranged in parallel.

Figure 18 (a) and (b) other a kind of possibility, the apparent surface of its rotor and stator and apparent surface's diagonally extending of two-part stator segment that stator divides be shown.

At Figure 18 (a) with in the possibility (b), and with respect to the center 117 of rotor 112 radially upwards and stretch out along it by each apparent surface of second tooth 116 of clamper 115 clampings by the field magnet 113 of clamper 112 clampings, first tooth 114.Utilize this optional structure, can obtain with first and second embodiment in identical effect and effect.

Shown in sketch map; This radial gap type motor comprises the cylindrical rotor 73 and first stator core 83; Its rotor 73 is around axis (pivot 117 is indicated in by the sketch map) rotation of rotating shaft; First stator core 83 is positioned at cylindrical rotor 73 inside and has a plurality of first teeth 81, and these first teeth 81 end surfaces separately is relative with rotor 73 respectively, and winding 82 is wrapped in each first tooth 81 except that around end surfaces 81a and the perimeter side surface the 81b.

Motor also comprises second stator core 87 with a plurality of second teeth 84.Each second tooth 84 has an end surfaces 84a, and it orientates as relative with a said end surfaces (its other end surface with respect to rotor 73 opposites is positioned at reverse side) of first tooth 81.Second tooth also has the other end surface 84b that is clamped in the clamper 85.

In this radial gap type motor, the magnetic flux flow direction (being the clockwise or counter clockwise direction in the sketch map) mobile and through each first tooth 81 of second stator core 87 meets at right angles the generation when magnetic winding 82 energisings of first stator core 83 of said magnetic flux flow.Therefore, can realize with reference to Figure 13 (a) and (b) said identical field magnet control.

(according to the radial gap type electric motor structure of fourth embodiment of the invention)

Figure 20 is the sectional view that illustrates according to the radial gap type electric motor structure of the 4th embodiment.

In addition equally in sketch map, in order the 4th embodiment and first embodiment simply to be shown relatively, the parts with identical function be endowed with Figure 10 in identical label and the symbol composed.

Shown in sketch map; This radial gap type motor comprises cylindricality or the cylindrical rotor 73 and first stator core 83; Its rotor 73 is around rotating shaft 72 rotations; First stator core is positioned at rotor 73 radial outsides and has a plurality of first teeth 81, and these first teeth 81 end surfaces separately is relative with rotor 73 respectively, and winding is wrapped in each first tooth 81 except around end surfaces 81a and the perimeter side surface the 81b.

Motor also comprises second stator core 87 with a plurality of second teeth 84.Each second tooth 84 has an end surfaces 84a, and it orientates as relative with a said end surfaces 81b (its other end surface 81a with respect to rotor 73 opposites is positioned at reverse side) of first tooth 81.Second tooth also has the other end surface 84b that is clamped in the clamper 85.

In this radial gap type motor; The magnetic flux flow direction (being the clockwise or counter clockwise direction in the sketch map) mobile and through each first tooth 81 of second stator core 87 meets at right angles, and said magnetic flux flow is in generation when the magnetic winding 82 of first stator core 83 is supplied power.So, can realize with reference to Figure 13 (a) and (b) said identical field magnet control.

(according to the axial gap electric motor structure of fifth embodiment of the invention)

Figure 21 is the stereogram that illustrates according to the axial gap electric motor major part of the 5th embodiment.This sketch map only shows the rotor of the axial gap electric motor of this embodiment.

Shown in figure 21, at first, the rotor 120 of this embodiment comprises a plurality of field magnets 122, and it is fixedly located on the ring segment 121 of rotor yoke of the first rotor section 120-1.

Secondly; Rotor 120 comprises the second rotor section 120-2 that makes up by this way; The same number of magnetic component 123 that is number and field magnet 122 places on the unshowned rotation clamper; Surface of revolution with each field magnet 122 almost contacts slidably, and the second rotor section 120-2 rotates with the coaxial engagement of the first rotor section 120-1 and with the first rotor section 120-1.

Orientate as with rotor 120 relative stators and have the structure identical with stator shown in Fig. 3 and 4 39.

In this axial gap electric motor of this embodiment; Shown in figure 21; When it carries out low-speed high-torque when rotation, the first rotor section 120-1 and the second rotor section 120-2 locate by this way, i.e. overlapped fully the and homophase rotation of each field magnet 122 and magnetic component 123.

Thereby the magnetic flux of field magnet 122 is controlled as and accumulates in each magnetic component 123, flows into then in the tooth of stator.

The sketch map of Figure 22 illustrates rotor 120 in this structure when carrying out the rotation of high speed low torque, the offset relationship of rotatable phase between the first rotor section 120-1 and the second rotor section 120-2.Under the state shown in Figure 22, the skew of rotatable phase is maximum between the first rotor section 120-1 and the second rotor section 120-2.

The first rotor section 120-1 and the second rotor section 120-2 relative to each other move between the two states below; Under a kind of state; Each phase place shown in figure 21 is consistent each other, and under another kind of state, each phase place shown in figure 22 has the skew that is no more than 15 degree each other.

Shown in figure 22; Under the state of each phase deviation 15 degree; Near the relative less clearance at the place, end part is formed at pivot, the magnetic gap between each field magnet 122 and each magnetic component 123 becomes very big at the major part place of rotating shaft Width.Like this, almost whole magnetic flux flows of each field magnet 122 are all flowed through opposite field magnet 122 via ring segment 121 and are refluxed.

Magnetic flux flow through being formed near the little gap inflow magnetic component of partly locating the pivot 123 is a part very little in whole magnetic flux flows.And near the relative less clearance at the place, end part is formed at pivot, the major part place of magnetic gap on the rotating shaft Width between each magnetic component 123 and each tooth of stator also becomes very big.

Like this, from the do not flow through tooth of stator of each field magnet 122 a small amount of magnetic flux flows that flow into each magnetic component 123.Therefore can in the rotation of high speed low torque, realize drive condition.

In other words, through suitable location the first rotor section and second rotor section with the control rotary phase offset from state shown in Figure 22 to state shown in Figure 23, controlled a certain amount of flux leakage.Like this, need not to waste electric power and can control the relation between rotating speed and the torque.

(according to the axial gap electric motor structure of sixth embodiment of the invention)

Figure 23 is the sketch map that illustrates according to the axial gap electric motor major part structure of the 6th embodiment.This sketch map only shows the rotor of the axial gap electric motor of this embodiment.

Shown in figure 23, at first, the rotor 124 of this embodiment comprises a plurality of magnetic components 126, and it is fixedly located on the ring segment 125 of rotor yoke of the first rotor section 124-1.

Secondly; Rotor 124 comprises the second rotor section 124-2 that makes up by this way; The same number of magnetic component composite type magnet (magnetic-member-combined type magnet) 129 that is number and magnetic component 126 places on the rotation clamper (not shown); Surface of revolution with each magnetic component 126 almost contacts slidably, and the second rotor section 124-2 rotates with the coaxial engagement of the first rotor section 124-1 and with the first rotor section 124-1.

Each magnetic component composite type magnet 129 forms by this way, promptly is arranged to the magnetic component 127 relative with each magnetic component 126 and is arranged to the field magnet 128 relative with the stator (not shown) and piles up each other.

Orientate as with rotor 124 relative stators and have the structure identical with stator shown in Fig. 3 and 4 39.

In this axial gap electric motor of this embodiment; Shown in figure 23; When it carries out the low-speed high-torque rotation; The first rotor section 124-1 and the second rotor section 124-2 locate by this way, i.e. overlapped fully the and homophase rotation of each magnetic component 126 and magnetic component composite type magnet 129.

Thereby; Collect from the magnetic flux of 128 1 magnetic poles of each field magnet and adjust it to flow on it and with composite type magnetic member 127 relative magnetic components 126 in composite type magnetic member 127 and position; Afterwards, ring segment 125, adjacent magnetic component 126 and the magnetic component 127 that is positioned at magnetic component 126 opposites belows trapped flux and adjust it once more and flow once more.Then, magnetic flux flow is crossed magnetic component 127 and composite type field magnet 128.

Flow into each relative tooth of stator and the field magnet that is arranged in its below 128 from the magnetic flux of each field magnet 128 another magnetic pole, and flow through adjacent teeth via the stator side yoke.In other words; The magnetic flux flow of each field magnet 128 is through each composite type magnetic member 127 and magnetic component 126, ring segment 125, adjacent magnetic component 126, the magnetic component 127 relative with magnetic component 126, tooth, stator side yoke, adjacent teeth and the relative composite type field magnet 128 of adjacent teeth therewith with the composite type field magnet 128 of magnetic component 127 combinations, stator, refluxes to pass the coil that the tooth rim that is wrapped in stator encloses.

This state is identical with the flow regime of magnetic flux flow shown in Figure 13 (a).Therefore, can in carrying out the low-speed high-torque rotation, realize drive condition.

The sketch map of Figure 24 illustrates rotor 124 in structure when carrying out the rotation of high speed low torque, the offset relationship of rotatable phase between the first rotor section 124-1 and the second rotor section 124-2.Under the state shown in Figure 24, the skew of rotatable phase is maximum between the first rotor section 124-1 and the second rotor section 124-2.

In this embodiment; The first rotor section 124-1 and the second rotor section 124-2 relative to each other move between the two states below, and under a kind of state, each phase place shown in figure 23 is consistent each other; And under another kind of state, each phase place shown in figure 24 has the skew that is no more than 15 degree each other.

Shown in figure 24, under the state of each phase deviation 15 degree, the magnetic gap between each magnetic component 127 and each magnetic component 126 is very big.Like this, the magnetic flux flow of each magnetic component 127 flows into magnetic component 126 hardly, and promptly magnetic flux flow is under the dissengaged positions.

This state is slightly different with state shown in Figure 13 (b); But following state is identical with the state of Figure 13 (b), and under this state, formerly the magnetic flux flow gap, part place that has been collected and adjusted becomes bigger, and magnetic flux is cut off the tooth that makes it not flow through the stator side yoke.Thereby can in carrying out the rotation of high speed low torque, realize drive condition.

In other words, through suitable location the first rotor section 124-1 and the second rotor section 124-2 with the control rotary phase offset from state shown in Figure 23 to state shown in Figure 24, controlled a certain amount of flux leakage.Like this, need not to waste electric power and can control the relation between rotating speed and the torque.
