Definitions
- the present invention is generally applicable to the technical field of electric motors and particularly relates to an electric machine with permanent magnets provided with a plurality of rotors placed concentrically with each other, which can be used both as a motor and as a generator.
- permanent magnet motors constitute a particular type of electric motors having multiple applications and which find more and more space within traction and movement systems of vehicles, such as electric bicycles, cars, drones, boats, but also inside industrial machines, thanks to their capacity of producing a very high torque and speed, with a yield that can exceed 90%.
- Permanent magnet motors essentially consist of a rotor provided with two or more permanent magnets and connected to a transmission shaft and a stator provided with windings for generating the rotating magnetic field.
- a permanent magnet motor may have two different shapes.
- a first configuration defined “ in runner ”, or with internal rotor, the rotor is placed inside the stator, while in the configuration called “out runner”, the rotor is placed externally to the stator.
- This last configuration has the advantage of reducing the overall dimensions as a possible wheel can be mounted directly on the external rotor, avoiding having to use motion transmission systems.
- known permanent magnet motors use an electronic controller to manage the electrical impulses sent to the windings on the stator, to create the rotating magnetic field that moves the rotor.
- controllers or control units using various technologies, are adapted to recognize the position of the rotor, so as to send the correct electrical impulse at the right time, with the aid of sensors on the stator.
- Such sensors can be, for example, of the magnetic type, or with hall effect or optical. Alternatively, it is also possible not to provide the sensors and in this case the position of the rotor is recognized by the return electromotive force.
- the object of the present invention is to overcome the above drawbacks, by providing an electric machine with permanent magnets, which can be used as an electric motor or as a generator, characterized by high efficiency.
- a particular object is to provide an electric machine with permanent magnets having a higher efficiency in terms of torque and speed and a lower absorption than those currently available, so as to make it ideal for a very large number of industrial applications.
- a particular object is to provide an electric machine with permanent magnets having a structure which provide it with a substantial efficiency increase with the same absorption and size compared to currently available permanent magnet motors or generators.
- an electric machine with permanent magnets with multiple rotors which, according to claim 1, comprises at least two mutually coaxial rotors and each provided with two or more permanent magnetic poles associated with the side wall thereof, at least one stator provided with windings with respective electrical output contacts and interposed between two of said rotors to be powered with current and generate a rotating electromagnetic field adapted to rotate the corresponding rotors, a transmission shaft mechanically connected to said rotors to be driven into rotation upon the rotation of said rotors promoted by said at least one stator.
- a permanent magnet electric motor or generator which motor or generator combining the features of an “in runner ” type motor/generator with those of an “ out runner ” type motor/generator, being adapted to use both the magnetic poles of the windings.
- each magnetic circle receives a thrust from both sides of each winding, so that each of the magnetic surfaces of each rotor exposed to the winding of the stator is equivalent to a rotor.
- Fig. 1 is a simplified perspective view of the electric machine according to the invention
- Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the electric machine of Fig. 1 without a cover for viewing inside it;
- Fig. 3 is a schematic top view of the electric machine according to the invention.
- a preferred but not exclusive configuration of a permanent magnet electric machine according to the invention is schematised, which can be used as an electric motor or as an electric generator.
- the machine globally indicated with 1, essentially comprises two or more rotors 2, 3, 4, 5 mutually coaxial and each provided with one or more permanent magnets, eight for each rotor in the illustrated configuration and genetically indicated with 6, associated with their wall lateral.
- each rotor may also vary with respect to what has been illustrated and in theory it will be sufficient for each rotor to be provided with at least one pair of poles of opposite sign.
- Each pair of mutually coaxial rotors 2-3; 3-4; 4-5 defines a gap 7, 8, 9 housing a respective stator 10, 11, 12 provided with respective windings and having respective electrical output contacts 13, 14, 15 for the current supply of the corresponding stator 10-12 in order to generate a respective rotating electromagnetic field adapted to rotate the corresponding rotors 2-5.
- the latter are mechanically connected to a common transmission shaft 16 adapted to be driven into rotation upon the rotation of the rotors 2-5 promoted by the stators 10-
- rotors or magnetic circles 2-5 there are four rotors or magnetic circles 2-5, but they could also be in a higher number, all concentric and coaxial with each other and arranged substantially on the same plane, so that, with the exception of the innermost rotor 2 and outermost rotor 5, each of them is at the same time internal to another rotor of larger diameter and external to yet another rotor of smaller diameter.
- Each rotor further comprises a side wall having an inner surface and an outer surface. Furthermore, each magnet 6 will be polarized along a radial direction so that the poles of opposite sign of each magnet 6 are arranged on opposite surfaces of the side wall of the respective rotor 2-5.
- the magnets 6 can be caged in a circular structure integral with the respective rotor 2-5 and provided with relative housings for the magnets 6.
- each of the permanent magnets 6 has a first pole arranged on one between the inner and outer surface of the corresponding rotor 2-5 and a second pole arranged on the other between the inner and outer surface of the corresponding rotor 2-5 so that the opposite poles of the same permanent magnet 6 face on opposite sides of the side wall of the corresponding rotor 2-5.
- the mutually facing magnets 6 of two different rotors 2-5 adjacent to each other will be arranged so as to have their respective poles facing each other with opposite sign.
- each permanent magnet 6, with the exception of the permanent magnets associated with the innermost rotor 2 and the outermost rotor 5, will interact with two different stators 8, 9.
- each rotor 2-5 intended as a magnetic circle, will act both as an “ in runner ” and as an “o t runner ” and therefore as if there were two rotors for each magnetic circle.
- the rotors 2-5 will all be coupled to a common transmission shaft 16 in a single rotating bell 17.
- the stators 10-12 may be formed by a plurality of windings obtained by means of a plurality of cables (for example three cables) and provided with an air gap or self-supporting structure to be positioned together in a coaxial manner.
- each cable is adapted to form a winding around the air gap or support structure on each of the stators 10-12, so that the stators 10-12 are powered by a single current which will put in motion all the rotors 2-5, contributing to the increase in performance.
- Stators 10-12 will be positioned coaxially with each other, with the windings of each cable positioned opposite each other.
- the windings of the stators 10-12 may be without an air gap, so as to obtain a range of motors/generators without ferromagnetic braking, for use, for example, as a wind generator, which can rotate even with a small breath of wind.
- the cables forming the windings are joined in a star or delta wiring and, typically for this kind of electrical machines, the electrical output contacts 13-15 of the windings will be connected to a three-phase electronic control unit or driver, not illustrated, suitable for sending electrical impulses to stators 10-12 necessary create the rotating electromagnetic field.
- control unit will be devoid of sensors and adapted to detect the position of the rotors 2-5 by reading the return electromotive force.
- control unit can be provided with sensors positioned on the stator in angularly offset positions of 60° or 120°.
