Description

  The present invention relates to an armature for an electric motor mounted on a vehicle or the like, and an electric motor using the same.

  Conventionally, an electric motor with a brush mounted on a vehicle or the like is known. This electric motor has a configuration in which an armature around which an armature coil is wound is rotatably arranged inside a cylindrical yoke having a plurality of magnets attached to its inner peripheral surface. The armature has an armature core that is externally fixed to the rotating shaft. In the armature core, teeth for winding the winding are formed radially, and a long slot is formed between the teeth in the axial direction.

  A winding is wound around each tooth to form an armature coil having a concentrated winding structure. The armature coil is electrically connected to each segment attached to the rotating shaft. Each segment can be slidably contacted with a brush, and a current is supplied to the armature coil by applying a voltage from the brush to the segment terminal. At this time, a magnetic field is formed in the armature coil, and the rotating shaft is driven by a magnetic attractive force or repulsive force generated between the magnets of the yoke (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

By the way, as a winding method of the winding around the armature core, there is a lap winding (distributed winding) method in addition to the concentrated winding method. There is an electric motor that uses an armature wound by this lap winding method and four brushes and changes the energization pattern of each brush to change the rotation speed.
The operation of this type of electric motor will be described with reference to FIGS. FIGS. 13 to 15 are explanatory diagrams showing energization patterns to the armature 100, and FIG. 13 shows a state where the four brushes of the two anode side brushes 101 and 103 and the two cathode side brushes 102 and 104 are energized. 14 shows a state in which three brushes, one anode side brush 101 and two cathode side brushes 102 and 104, are energized, and FIG. 15 shows two brushes, one anode side brush 101 and one cathode side brush 102. Indicates the energized state.

As shown in FIGS. 13 to 15, the armature 100 in which the winding is wound by the lap winding method has four circuits (series coils) C1, C2, C3, and C4 in the number of parallel circuits.
When the four brushes 101, 102, 103, and 104 are energized (see FIG. 13), a current I1 from the brush 101 to the brush 104 flows through the circuit C1, and a current I2 from the brush 101 to the brush 102 flows through the circuit C2. A current I3 from the brush 103 to the brush 102 flows through C3, and a current I4 from the brush 103 to the brush 104 flows through circuit C4. That is, a current flows through all the circuits C1, C2, C3, and C4.

In contrast, when the three brushes 101, 102, and 104 are energized (see FIG. 14), currents I1 and I2 flow only in the circuit C1 and the circuit C2. Therefore, only half of the torque at the time of energizing the four brushes can be obtained.
On the other hand, when the two brushes 101 and 102 are energized (see FIG. 15), currents I1, I2, I3, and I4 ′ flow through the circuits C1, C2, C3, and C4.

Here, as shown in FIG. 15, the current I 4 ′ flowing in the circuit C 4 flows from the brush 104 toward the brush 103. That is, the current I4 ′ flowing through the circuit C4 when the two brushes are energized is opposite in direction to the current I4 flowing through the circuit C4 when the four brushes are energized, and cancels out with the torque of the circuit C1 or the circuit C3. Therefore, the torque at the time of energizing the two brushes can only obtain 1/3 of the torque at the time of energizing the four brushes.
Thus, by changing the energization pattern of each brush 101, 102, 103, 104, the number of effective conductors and the energization current can be changed to change the torque, and the rotation speed can be switched.
JP 2006-204070 A

  However, in the four-brush electric motor having four parallel circuits as in the prior art described above, the rotation speed can be switched by changing the energization pattern of each brush 101, 102, 103, 104. When the windings are wound by the concentrated winding method, the number of parallel circuits becomes two, and there is a problem that it is difficult to switch the rotation speed even if the brush energization pattern is changed.

  Therefore, the present invention provides an armature for an electric motor and an electric motor that can change the rotation speed by changing the energization pattern of the four brushes even when the winding is wound by the concentrated winding method. It is to provide.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, the invention described in claim 1 is a rotating shaft that is pivotally supported by a yoke having a plurality of magnetic poles, a radial shaft that is attached to the rotating shaft and extends radially. A plurality of teeth for winding the armature, an armature core having a plurality of slots formed between the teeth and extending along the axial direction, and a plurality of segments provided around the armature core on the rotating shaft. An armature for an electric motor comprising a commutator arranged in a direction and four brushes for feeding power to the winding via the segment, wherein the winding is connected to a predetermined segment and has two in total A closed circuit is formed, and the two closed circuits are wound around the teeth in a concentrated winding manner so as to be arranged point-symmetrically about the rotation axis, and the four braces Is composed of two sets of anode-side brush and cathode-side brush, the same-polarity brushes are arranged opposite to each other around the rotation axis, and the different-polarity brushes have an electrical angle. It is characterized by being arranged at intervals in the 180 ° circumferential direction.

  The invention described in claim 2 is characterized in that the magnetic pole has four poles, the six slots are provided, and two closed circuits of two poles and three slots are formed.

  The invention described in claim 3 is characterized in that the magnetic pole has eight poles, twelve slots are provided, and two four-pole six-slot closed circuits are formed.

  The invention described in claim 4 is characterized in that the magnetic pole has eight poles, ten slots are provided, and two closed circuits with four poles and five slots are formed.

  The invention described in claim 5 is characterized in that a short-circuit member for short-circuiting the segments having the same potential is provided for each closed circuit.

  The invention described in claim 6 is an electric motor using the armature for an electric motor according to any one of claims 1 to 5.

  According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, there is provided a rotating shaft that is supported by a yoke having a plurality of magnetic poles, and a plurality of teeth that are attached to the rotating shaft and extend radially in the radial direction to wind a winding. An armature core having a plurality of slots formed between the teeth and extending along the axial direction; a commutator provided adjacent to the armature core on the rotating shaft; and a plurality of segments arranged in the circumferential direction; and the segment The commutator is provided with a short-circuit member for short-circuiting the segments having the same potential, and the winding is connected to a predetermined segment. An armature for an electric motor comprising two closed circuits, wherein the windings are arranged symmetrically with respect to the two closed circuits around the rotation axis. The four brushes are configured to include two sets of an anode side brush and a cathode side brush, and the brushes on the same pole side are arranged on the rotating shaft. And the opposite-polarity-side brushes are θ = (180 / P) + when the angle between them is θ, the number of pole pairs is P, and N is 0 or a positive integer. Θ is determined so as to satisfy (360 / P) × N ≦ 90 °.

  According to the present invention, even if the winding is wound around the teeth by the concentrated winding method, the winding is performed so that two closed circuits are provided, so that the number of parallel circuits can be four. That is, since the number of parallel circuits in one closed circuit in the concentrated winding method is two circuits, the number of parallel circuits can be made four by providing two. In addition to this, two closed circuits are arranged point-symmetrically around the rotation axis, and among the four brushes, the same-polarity brushes are arranged opposite to each other around the rotation axis, and the different-polarity brushes are arranged. Are arranged at intervals of 180 ° in electrical angle.

  For this reason, the number of windings through which a current flows can be changed at the time of energizing four brushes, at the time of energizing three brushes, and at the time of energizing two brushes, and the magnitude of torque can be changed. Therefore, even when the winding is wound by the concentrated winding method, the rotation speed can be switched by changing the energization patterns of the four brushes.

  According to the present invention, θ is determined so as to satisfy θ = (180 / P) + (360 / P) × N ≦ 90 °, where P is the number of pole pairs and N is 0 or a positive integer. Therefore, in the case of a multi-pole electric motor (for example, an electric motor having 12 or more poles) and at least three segments having the same potential exist in one closed circuit, the brushes are arranged in a plurality of layout patterns. Is possible. For this reason, the freedom degree of design of an electric motor can be raised.

Next, a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 1, an electric motor 1 is a direct current motor mounted on a vehicle used for, for example, a power window motor, a wiper motor, and a fan motor of an automobile, and includes an armature 3 in a bottomed cylindrical yoke 2. Is arranged so that it can rotate freely. Four permanent magnets 4 are fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the yoke 2 in the circumferential direction while changing the magnetic poles in order.

  The armature 3 includes an armature core 6 fixed to the rotating shaft 5, an armature coil 7 wound around the armature core 6, and a commutator 13 disposed on one end side of the armature core 6. The armature core 6 is obtained by laminating a plurality of ring-shaped metal plates 8 in the axial direction. On the outer peripheral portion of the metal plate 8, six teeth 9 having a substantially T-shape in a plan view in the axial direction are formed radially.

  By fitting a plurality of metal plates 8 to the rotating shaft 5, dovetail-shaped slots 11 are formed between adjacent teeth 9 on the outer periphery of the armature core 6. The slots 11 extend along the axial direction, and six slots 11 are formed at equal intervals along the circumferential direction. An enamel-wrapped winding 12 is wound between the slots 11, whereby a plurality of armature coils 7 are formed on the outer periphery of the armature core 6.

  The commutator 13 is externally fitted and fixed to one end of the rotating shaft 5. Six segments 14 made of a conductive material are attached to the outer peripheral surface of the commutator 13. The segments 14 are made of plate-like metal pieces that are long in the axial direction, and are fixed in parallel at equal intervals along the circumferential direction in a state of being insulated from each other.

  A riser 15 is integrally formed at an end portion of each segment 14 on the armature core 6 side and is bent in a manner of being folded back to the outer diameter side. The riser 15 is wound around the winding 12 that is the winding start end and the winding end of the armature coil 7, and the winding 12 is fixed to the riser 15 by fusing. Thereby, the segment 14 and the armature coil 7 corresponding to this are electrically connected.

  The other end side of the rotating shaft 5 is rotatably supported by a bearing 16 in a boss protruding from the yoke 2. A cover 17 is provided at the open end of the yoke 2, and a holder stay 18 is attached to the inside of the cover 17. Four brush holders 19 are formed on the holder stay 18 along the circumferential direction.

  Each brush holder 19 is provided with a brush 21 that can be moved in and out in a state where the brush 21 is urged through a spring 29. The tip portions of these brushes 21 are urged by springs 29 so as to be in sliding contact with the commutator 13, and power from the outside is supplied to the commutator 13 via the brushes 21.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the brush 21 includes four brushes 21a, 21a, 21b, and 21b each including two sets of an anode side brush 21a and a cathode side brush 21b. The anode-side brushes 21a and 21a and the cathode-side brushes 21b and 21b are opposed to each other around the rotation shaft 5, and the anode-side brush 21a and the cathode-side brush 21b are spaced by 90 ° in the circumferential direction. It is arranged with a gap. That is, the brushes on the same polarity side are arranged at a mechanical angle of 180 °, and the brushes on the opposite polarity side are arranged at an electrical angle of 180 °.

  In the first embodiment, since there are four permanent magnets 4, that is, four magnetic poles, 180 ° in electrical angle becomes 90 ° in mechanical angle, but the number of magnetic poles changes. What is necessary is just to arrange | position the brushes of different pole side so that it may become 180 degrees in an electrical angle. The anode brushes 21a and 21a and the cathode brushes 21b and 21b may be reversed.

A winding 12 is wound around the armature 3 of the electric motor 1 having four poles, six slots, and six segments configured as described above.
FIG. 3 is a developed view of the segment 14 (the riser 15) and the teeth 9 of the armature 3, and the gap between the adjacent teeth 9 corresponds to the slot 11. In the following drawings, each segment 14, each tooth 9, and the wound winding 12 will be described with reference numerals.

  For example, when the winding start end 30 starts to be wound from the first segment 14 a, the winding 12 is first wound around the riser 15 of the first segment 14 a and then the slot between the first to sixth teeth 9. 11a. Subsequently, after winding the first tooth 9 n times (n is a natural number of 1 or more), the winding 12 is pulled out from the slot 11 b between the first and second teeth 9. Then, it is wound around the riser 15 of the second segment 14b, and the winding end 40 is connected to the second segment 14b. As a result, a coil 7a wound n times around the first tooth 9 is formed between the first and second segments 14a and 14b.

  Subsequently, the winding 12 is drawn from the second segment 14b into the slot 11b between the first and second teeth 9, wound n times around the second tooth 9, and then between the second and third teeth 9. Winding 12 is pulled out from slot 11c. Then, it is wound around the riser 15 of the third segment 14c, and the winding end 40 is connected to the third segment 14c. As a result, a coil 7b wound n times around the second tooth 9 is formed between the second and third segments 14b and 14c.

Next, the winding 12 is drawn from the third segment 14c into the slot 11c between the second and third teeth 9, wound n times around the third tooth 9, and then between the third and fourth teeth 9. The winding 12 is drawn out from the slot 11d.
Here, the winding 12 drawn out from the slot 11d is not looped around the riser of the fourth segment 14d, but is looped around the riser 15 of the first segment 14a again, and the winding end 40 is connected to the first segment 14a. Is done.

  As a result, the coil 7c wound n times around the third tooth 9 is formed between the 3-1 segment 14c and 14a. Therefore, a 2-pole 3-slot closed circuit H1 in which the winding 12 is wound around each of the 1-3 teeth 9 in a three-phase concentrated winding is formed between the 1-3 segments 14.

  Subsequently, the winding 12 having the winding start end 30 wound around the riser 15 of the 4th segment 14d is drawn into the slot 11d between the 3rd and 4th teeth 9 and wound around the 4th tooth 9 n times. The And the coil | winding 12 is pulled out from the slot 11e between the 4th-5th teeth 9, and the winding end 40 is connected to the 5th segment 14e.

As a result, a coil 7d wound n times around the 4th tooth 9 is formed between the 4-5th segments 14d and 14e.
Similarly, between the 4th and 6th segments 14, the 2 pole 3 slot having coils 7 d, 7 e, and 7 f each having a winding 12 wound around the 4th to 6th teeth 9 in a three-phase concentrated winding. A circuit H2 is formed.

  As described above, the electric motor 1 constituted by four poles, six slots, and six segments has two closed circuits H1 and H2 each having two poles and three slots in a three-phase concentrated winding. Since these closed circuits H1 and H2 are formed in a state of being arranged in parallel in the circumferential direction, the armature 3 is in a state in which two closed circuits H1 and H2 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the rotating shaft 5.

  In addition to this, the brushes 21 on the same polarity side are arranged at a mechanical angle of 180 °, and the brushes 21 on the different polarity side are arranged at an electrical angle of 180 °. For this reason, the number of parallel circuits is two in one closed circuit, and the number of parallel circuits is four in the armature 3 even in the concentrated winding method.

Next, based on FIGS. 4-7, the effect | action of the armature 3 of this 1st embodiment is demonstrated.
As shown in FIG. 4, for example, anode brushes 21a and 21a exist between the first and second segments 14a and 14b and between the fourth and fifth segments 14d and 14e, respectively, and the cathode brushes 21b and 21b have third. In the case where it exists in the segment 14c and the sixth segment 14f, that is, in the case where there are a pair of brushes 21a and 21b on the closed circuits H1 and H2, respectively, the four brushes 21a, 21a, 21b, In a state where all of 21b are energized, current flows through the four coils 7b, 7c, 7e, and 7f.

  That is, the coil 7a formed between the first and second segments 14a and 14b and the coil 7d formed between the fourth and fifth segments 14d and 14e are short-circuited by the anode brushes 21a and 21a. On the other hand, a current flows in the forward direction (clockwise in FIG. 4) through the coil 7b formed on the second tooth 9 and the coil 7e formed on the fifth tooth 9, and the coil 7c formed on the third tooth 9. Then, a current flows in the reverse direction (counterclockwise in FIG. 4) through the coil 7f formed in the sixth tooth 9.

  As shown in FIG. 5, anode-side brushes 21a and 21a exist between the second and third segments 14b and 14c, and between the fifth and sixth segments 14e and 14f, respectively, and the cathode-side brushes 21b and 21b each have the first segment 14a. When the fourth segment 14d is present, that is, when the pair of brushes 21a and 21b is present across the two closed circuits H1 and H2, the four brushes 21a, 21a, 21b and 21b are present. Even when all are energized, current flows through the four coils 7a, 7c, 7d, and 7f.

  That is, the coil 7b formed between the second and third segments 14b and 14c and the coil 7e formed between the fifth and sixth segments 14e and 14f are short-circuited by the anode brushes 21a and 21a. On the other hand, current flows in the forward direction (clockwise in FIG. 5) through the coil 7 c formed on the third tooth 9 and the coil 7 f formed on the sixth tooth 9, and the coil 7 a formed on the first tooth 9. In addition, a current flows in the reverse direction (counterclockwise in FIG. 5) through the coil 7d formed on the fourth tooth 9.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the three brushes are energized, that is, for example, the anode side brush 21a, which exists between the first and second segments 14a and 14b and between the fourth and fifth segments 14d and 14e in FIG. When the three brushes 21a and the cathode brush 21b existing in the third segment 14c are energized, current flows through the two coils 7b and 7c. That is, one of the two closed circuits H1 and H2 (closed circuit H2 in FIG. 6) is in a state where no current flows.

  This is the same even when two brushes are energized as long as there is a pair of brushes 21a and 21b on each of the closed circuits H1 and H2. That is, in FIG. 6, even if two brushes 21a and 21b, that is, the anode brush 21a existing between the first and second segments 14a and 14b and the cathode brush 21b present in the third segment 14c are energized, A current flows through the coils 7b and 7c.

  However, as shown in FIG. 7, for example, when the two brushes 21a and 21b are energized and the two brushes 21a and 21b exist between the second and third segments 14b and 14c and on the fourth segment 14d. In other words, when the pair of brushes 21a and 21b exists across the two closed circuits H1 and H2, no current flows through any of the coils 7a, 7b, 7c, and 7d, and a non-energized state is established.

Therefore, according to the first embodiment described above, the number of parallel circuits can be made to be a total of four circuits by forming two closed circuits H1 and H2 having two poles and three slots with three-phase concentrated winding.
Therefore, when all the four brushes 21a, 21a, 21b, and 21b are energized, current flows through the four armature coils 7 (in this first embodiment, the coils 7b, 7c, 7e, and 7f), and the normal four poles Torque (motor characteristics) similar to that of the 6-slot concentrated winding method can be obtained. On the other hand, when the three brushes are energized, current flows through the two armature coils 7 (in this first embodiment, the coils 7b and 7c). Therefore, the torque at the time of 3 brush energization can be made into the half torque at the time of 4 brush energization.

  When two brushes are energized, a current flows through the two armature coils 7 (see FIG. 6), and a current flows through all the armature coils 7 (coils 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d, 7e, 7f). There is a state in which it does not flow, that is, no power is supplied (see FIG. 7). For this reason, during the non-energized state, the rotating shaft 5 of the armature 3 rotates with inertia. As a result, the torque is reduced when the two brushes are energized than when the three brushes are energized.

  That is, by changing the energization pattern of the four brushes 21a, 21a, 21b, and 21b, the number of windings 12 (the number of armature coils 7) through which current flows can be changed, and the magnitude of torque can be changed. It becomes possible. Therefore, even when the winding 12 is wound around the armature core 6 by the concentrated winding method, the rotation speed of the rotating shaft 5 of the armature 3 can be switched.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. In addition, the same aspect as 1st embodiment is attached | subjected and demonstrated (it is the same also in the following embodiment). In the following embodiments, the basic structure of the electric motor 1 is the same as that of the first embodiment.

  Here, in the second embodiment, an 8-pole 12-slot 12-segment electric motor 1 having eight permanent magnets 4 (magnetic poles), twelve slots 11, and twelve segments 14 will be described. Also in this second embodiment, the brushes 21a, 21a, 21b, and 21b are arranged with a mechanical angle of 180 ° between the same pole sides and with an electrical angle of 180 ° between the different pole sides. (The same applies to the following embodiments).

  As shown in FIG. 8, between the 1-6th segments 14, the connecting lines 25a are hung on the risers 15 corresponding to the segments 14 having the same potential (in this second embodiment, every second segment 14). It has been turned. This connection line 25a is fixed to the riser 15 by fusing.

  On the other hand, between the 7th and 12th segments 14, connecting lines 25b are respectively wound around risers 15 corresponding to the segments 14 having the same potential, and are fixed to the risers 15 by fusing. These connection lines 25a and 25b are for short-circuiting the segments 14 having the same potential for each of the closed circuits H1 and H2, and are connected between the commutator 13 and the armature core 6 (part A in FIG. 1). Wired.

  In the armature 3 having the connecting wires 25a and 25b, for example, coils 7a and 7d in which the winding 12 is wound around the first and fourth teeth 9 between the first to fifth segments 14a and 14e by the concentrated winding method, respectively. Is formed. Then, by sequentially performing such a winding structure with the segments 14 to be connected and the two teeth to be wound being shifted, the coils 7a and 7b are respectively connected to the 1-6th teeth 9 between the 1-6th segments 14. , 7c, 7d, 7e, and 7f, a closed circuit H1 having four poles and six slots is formed by three-phase concentrated winding.

On the other hand, between the 7th and 12th segments 14, a closed circuit H2 with 4 poles and 6 slots is formed by three-phase concentrated windings having coils 7g, 7h, 7i, 7j, 7k, and 7l on the 7th to 12th teeth 9, respectively. ing.
Therefore, according to the second embodiment described above, the number of parallel circuits can be made into a total of four circuits by forming two closed circuits H1, H2 having four poles and six slots with three-phase concentrated windings. The same effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained.

Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
The difference between the third embodiment and the first embodiment and the second embodiment is that the armature 3 of the first embodiment and the second embodiment has a three-phase concentrated winding structure. The armature 3 of the third embodiment has a five-phase concentrated winding structure.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, the electric motor 1 is composed of 8 poles 10 slots 20 segments provided with 8 permanent magnets 4 (magnetic poles), 10 slots 11, and 20 segments 14. Yes.

  For example, when the winding start end 30 starts to be wound from the first segment 14a, the winding 12 is first wound around the riser 15 of the first segment 14a and then the slot between the first to tenth teeth 9. 11a. Subsequently, after winding the first tooth 9 n times, the winding 12 is pulled out from the slot 11 b between the first and second teeth 9. Then, it is wound around the riser 15 of the second segment 14b, and the winding end 40 is connected to the second segment 14b. As a result, a coil 7a wound n times around the first tooth 9 is formed between the first and second segments 14a and 14b.

  Subsequently, the winding 12 is not pulled out from the second segment 14b but is wound around the riser 15 of the third segment 14c and pulled into the slot 11b between the first and second teeth 9. Then, after winding the second tooth 9 n times, the winding 12 is drawn out from the slot 11c between the second and third teeth 9, and the winding end 40 is connected to the third segment 14c. As a result, a coil 7b wound n times around the second tooth 9 is formed between the third and fourth segments 14b and 14c.

  Then, the windings 12 are wound around each of the third to fifth teeth 9 in a concentrated winding manner while shifting the segment 14 to be connected and the teeth 9 to be wound. In addition, between the first to tenth segments 14, connecting lines 25 a are respectively wound around risers 15 corresponding to the segments 14 having the same potential (in this third embodiment, every fourth segment 14). It is fixed by. For this reason, a closed circuit H1 having 4 poles and 5 slots is formed between the 1-10th segments 14 and 5-5 concentrated windings having coils 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d, 7e on the 1-5th teeth 9, respectively. Yes.

Similarly, coils 7f, 7g, 7h, 7i, 7j are formed on the 6th-10th tooth 9 between the 11th-20th segments 14, respectively. Between the 11th and 20th segments 14, connecting lines 25b are respectively wound around risers 15 corresponding to the segments 14 having the same potential, and are fixed by fusing.
Therefore, a closed circuit H2 of 4 poles and 5 slots is formed between the 11th and 20th segments 14 by a 5-phase concentrated winding having the coils 7f, 7g, 7h, 7i and 7j on the 6th to 10th teeth 9, respectively. .

For this reason, according to the above-mentioned third embodiment, the number of parallel circuits can be made into a total of four circuits by forming two closed circuits H1 and H2 having four poles and five slots with five-phase concentrated winding. The same effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained.
Since the closed circuits H1 and H2 are formed in parallel in the circumferential direction, the armature 3 is in a state in which two closed circuits H1 and H2 are arranged symmetrically with respect to the rotation axis 5. Needless to say.

FIG. 10 shows the torque of the electric motor 1 (8 poles 10 slots 20 segments) of the third embodiment when the vertical axis is the torque (kgf · cm) and the horizontal axis is the rotational speed (rpm) of the rotary shaft 5. It is the graph which showed the change.
As shown in the figure, it can be confirmed that the torque is different by changing the energization pattern to the four brushes 21a, 21a, 21b, 21b.

FIG. 11 is a graph showing a change in torque of the electric motor 1 of the third embodiment when the vertical axis is torque (kgf · cm) and the horizontal axis is current (A).
As shown in the figure, it can be confirmed that the same current is required to obtain the same torque regardless of the energization pattern to the four brushes 21a, 21a, 21b, 21b. That is, regardless of the energization pattern, it can be confirmed that the current is reliably converted into torque and is established as a motor.

FIG. 12 is a graph showing a change in torque of the electric motor 1 of the third embodiment when the vertical axis is torque (kgf · cm) and the horizontal axis is the rotation speed (rpm) of the rotary shaft 5.
As shown in the figure, for example, when a fan (load curve α in FIG. 12) is attached to the electric motor 1, the load of the fan increases as the rotational speed increases. For this reason, the matching point between the rotational speed and the torque is different for each energization pattern, and the rotational speed of the rotating shaft 5 can be varied.

  In the first embodiment, the second embodiment, and the third embodiment described above, the case where the windings 12 are wound around the teeth 9 by the concentrated winding method to form the two closed circuits H1 and H2 has been described. However, in addition to these embodiments, as in other embodiments shown in FIGS. 16 to 33 below, the electric motor 1 having various numbers of poles and slots has two closed circuits H1, H2 in a concentrated winding manner. Can be formed.

  FIG. 16 is a development view of the armature 3 in the three-phase electric motor 1 having 8 poles, 6 slots, and 12 segments. As shown in the figure, between the 1-6th segments 14, the connection lines 25a are connected to the segments 14 (every two segments 14) each having the same potential. On the other hand, the connecting lines 25b are connected to the segments 14 (every two segments 14) having the same potential between the 7th and 12th segments 14 separately. These connection lines 25a and 25b form two closed circuits H1 and H2.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 17, even in the case of a three-phase electric motor 1 having 12 poles and 12 slots and having 12 poles 11 and the same number of poles and segments, two closed circuits H1 and H2 can be formed. Moreover, as shown in FIG. 18, you may wind the coil | winding 12 in series with the teeth 9 of the in-phases in each closed circuit H1, H2 in series of operation | movement, respectively.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 19, the winding start end 30 and the winding end end 40 of each winding 12 wound around the 1-6th tooth 9 are centered on the rotating shaft 5 with respect to the 1-6th tooth 9. You may connect between the 7th-12th segments 14 which exist in a point symmetrical position. Even when wound in this way, in addition to being able to form two closed circuits, the winding 12 wired between the commutator 13 and the armature core 6 (part A in FIG. 1) It will be in the state twisted in the circumferential direction. For this reason, it is possible to eliminate the thickening between the commutator 13 and the armature core 6.

  In FIG. 19, the winding end end 40 of the winding 12 wound around the third tooth 9 and the sixth tooth 9 is connected to the seventh segment 14g, but as shown in FIG. , And the winding end 40 of the winding 12 wound around the 6th tooth 9 may be connected to the 10th segment 14h having the same potential as the 7th segment 14g. Since the seventh segment 14g and the tenth segment 14h are the segments 14 having the same potential, they are connected to each other by the connection line 25b. That is, as long as the segment 14 has the same potential, the same circuit can be formed by the winding 12 no matter where it is connected.

  FIG. 21 is a layout diagram of the brushes 21 a and 21 b in the 8-pole electric motor 1. As shown in the figure, in the 8-pole electric motor 1, 180 ° in terms of electrical angle becomes 45 ° in terms of mechanical angle. That is, the anode-side brushes 21a and 21a and the cathode-side brushes 21b and 21b are opposed to each other around the rotation shaft 5, and the anode-side brush 21a and the cathode-side brush 21b are spaced by 45 ° in the circumferential direction. It is arranged with a gap.

  Further, when the angle between the brushes 21a and 21b on the opposite pole sides is θ, the number of pole pairs is P, and N is 0 or a positive integer, the angle θ is θ = (180 / P) + (360 / P). It may be determined so as to satisfy × N ≦ 90 °. That is, in the 8-pole electric motor 1, since the number P of pole pairs is “4”, N is determined so as to satisfy θ = (180/4) + (360/4) × N ≦ 90 °. N = 0, and as a result, θ = 45 °.

  FIG. 22 is a development view of the armature 3 in the seven-phase electric motor 1 having 12 poles and 14 slots and 42 segments. As shown in the figure, connecting lines 25a are connected to the segments 14 (every six segments 14) having the same potential between the 1st to 21st segments 14, respectively. On the other hand, the connection lines 25b are connected to the segments 14 (every six segments 14) having the same potential between the 22-42 segments 14, respectively. These connection lines 25a and 25b form two closed circuits H1 and H2.

  In this case, as shown in FIG. 23, even in the case of an 8-phase electric motor 1 having 12 poles and 16 slots and 48 segments in which the number of poles is the same, 16 slots 11 and 48 segments are provided, 2 Two closed circuits H1, H2 can be formed. Further, as shown in FIG. 24, even in the case of the electric motor 1 having 12 poles and 18 slots and 18 segments, two closed circuits H1 and H2 can be formed similarly. In this case, as shown in FIG. 25, the windings 12 may be wound around the teeth 9 of the same phase in each of the closed circuits H1 and H2 in series by a series of operations.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 26, even in a 5-phase electric motor 1 having 12 poles, 20 slots, and 30 segments, two closed circuits H1 and H2 can be formed. In this case, as shown in FIG. 27, the windings 12 may be wound around the teeth 9 of the same phase in the closed circuits H1 and H2 in series by a series of operations.

  28 and 29 are arrangement diagrams of the brushes 21a and 21b in the 12-pole electric motor 1. FIG. As shown in the figure, in the 12-pole electric motor 1, 180 ° in terms of electrical angle is 30 ° in terms of mechanical angle. That is, the anode-side brushes 21a and 21a and the cathode-side brushes 21b and 21b are opposed to each other around the rotation shaft 5, and the anode-side brush 21a and the cathode-side brush 21b are spaced apart by 30 ° in the circumferential direction. They are spaced apart (see FIG. 28).

  In addition, when the angle between the brushes 21a and 21b on the opposite pole sides is θ, the number of pole pairs is P, and N is 0 or a positive integer, the angle θ is θ = (180 / P) + (360 / Since P) × N ≦ 90 ° may be satisfied, it can be arranged at two angles, N = 0 and N = 1. That is, θ = (180/6) + (360/6) × 0 = 30 (°), and in addition to the case where the brushes 21a and 21b on the opposite pole sides are arranged (see FIG. 28), θ = (180 / 6) When the brushes 21a and 21b on the opposite pole sides are arranged at + (360/6) × 1 = 90 (°) (see FIG. 29), they can be arranged in two ways.

  Here, for example, as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 22, the cathode side brush 21b is disposed at an angle of θ = 30 ° with respect to the anode side brush 21a, and as shown by a solid line in FIG. In the case where the cathode side brush 21b is arranged at an angle of θ = 90 ° with respect to the brush 21a, the segments 14 in which both cathode side brushes 21b are in sliding contact are in a state of being connected to each other by a connecting line 25a. For this reason, even if the angle θ between the brushes 21a and 21b on the opposite pole sides is 30 ° or 90 °, the same segment 14 is conducted.

  Therefore, in the electric motor 1 in which each closed circuit H1, H2 has at least three segments of the same potential, the interval between the brushes is narrow and it is difficult to lay out the brush, or depending on the layout position of the peripheral parts of the brush 21 The layout pattern of each brush 21a, 21b can be selected. For this reason, the freedom degree of design of the electric motor 1 can be raised.

FIG. 30 is a development view of the armature 3 in the three-phase electric motor 1 having 16 poles, 12 slots, and 24 segments. As shown in the figure, between the 1st to 12th segments 14, the connection lines 25a are connected to the segments 14 (every two segments 14) each having the same potential. On the other hand, between the 13th and 24th segments 14, the connection lines 25b are connected to the segments 14 (every two segments 14) each having the same potential. These connection lines 25a and 25b form two closed circuits H1 and H2.
In this case, as shown in FIG. 31, the windings 12 may be wound around the teeth 9 of the same phase in the closed circuits H1 and H2 in series by a series of operations.

  32 and 33 are layout diagrams of the brushes 21a and 21b in the 16-pole electric motor 1. FIG. As shown in the figure, in the 16-pole electric motor 1, the electrical angle of 180 ° is the mechanical angle of 22.5 °. That is, the anode-side brushes 21a and 21a and the cathode-side brushes 21b and 21b are opposed to each other around the rotation shaft 5, and the anode-side brush 21a and the cathode-side brush 21b are 22.5 ° in the circumferential direction. It arrange | positions at intervals (refer FIG. 32).

  In addition, when the angle between the brushes 21a and 21b on the opposite pole sides is θ, the number of pole pairs is P, and N is 0 or a positive integer, the angle θ is θ = (180 / P) + (360 / Since P) × N ≦ 90 ° may be satisfied, it can be arranged at two angles, N = 0 and N = 1. That is, θ = (180/8) + (360/8) × 0 = 22.5 (°) and the brushes 21a and 21b on the opposite polar sides are arranged (see FIG. 32), θ = ( 180/8) + (360/8) × 1 = 67.5 (°), and the brushes 21a and 21b on the opposite pole sides can be arranged in two ways (see FIG. 33).

The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and includes various modifications made to the above-described embodiment without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
In the first embodiment, the electric motor 1 has a three-phase concentrated winding structure with four poles, six slots, and six segments. In the second embodiment, the third motor has a three-phase concentrated winding structure with eight poles, 12 slots, and 12 segments. In the embodiment, the case of the 8-pole 10-slot 20-segment 5-phase concentrated winding structure has been described. However, the electric motor 1 is not limited to this, and the electric motor 1 forms two closed circuits formed by the pair of anode-side brush 21a and cathode-side brush 21b, that is, two brushes 21a, 21a, 21b, and 21b. It is only necessary that the closed circuits H1 and H2 are configured, and the brushes on the same pole side are arranged at a mechanical angle of 180 ° and the brushes on the different pole side are arranged at an electrical angle of 180 ° in the circumferential direction.

  Furthermore, the segment 14 to which the winding start end 30 and the winding end end 40 of the winding 12 are respectively connected is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and the segments 14 having the same potential in the same closed circuit are connected to each other. In the case of being connected by the connection lines 25a and 25b, it may be connected to any one of the segments 14 having the same potential.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where there are two layout patterns of the brushes 21a and 21b in the electric motor 1 having 12 or more poles has been described. However, when the angle between the brushes 21a and 21b on the opposite pole sides is θ, the number of pole pairs is P, and N is 0 or a positive integer, the angle θ is θ = (180 / P) + (360 / P) × Since it is only necessary to satisfy N ≦ 90 °, it goes without saying that the layout pattern of the brushes 21a and 21b in the electric motor 1 increases as the number of magnetic poles increases.
