And concave portions 38d and 38d made of circular arc surfaces having small radii of curvature formed on the pair of side surfaces 38b and 38b, respectively.

  As apparent from FIGS. 7 to 12, the bolts 39 inserted into the bolt holes 31 c from one end side of the center ring 31 have their heads 39 a formed in the bolt head fitting recesses 31 b of the center ring 31. The bolts 39 that are fitted and prevented from rotating and that protrude to the other end side of the center ring 31 are bolt holes formed in the bolt holes 33d of the connecting member 33 and the first rotor flange 32L or the second rotor flange 32R. 32a ... and is fastened by nuts 40 ....

As a result, the small loop eddy current generated between the connecting member 33 and the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L, 38R can be cut off to reduce the loss (see arrow A in FIG. 21).

  In particular, since the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L and 38R are formed by laminating thin plates of soft magnetic materials whose surfaces in contact with each other are insulated in the direction of the axis L, the eddy current is generated in the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L. , 38R cannot flow in the direction of the axis L, and tends to flow in the circumferential direction between the connecting member 33 and is generated between the connecting member 33 and the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L, 38R.

  As shown in FIG. 7, at least a portion of the center ring 31 that contacts the connecting member 33 is provided with an insulating coating 31d, and the insulating coating 31d can block the eddy current loop to reduce the loss ( (See arrow C in FIG. 21). In addition, an insulating coating 32d is applied to at least a portion of the first and second rotor flanges 32L and 32R that contacts the connecting member 33, and the eddy current loop can be blocked by the insulating coating 32d to reduce the loss. (See arrow D in FIG. 21).

The concave portion 38d and the convex portion 33b are both arc-shaped, but the tightening margin γ is set by making the shapes of the two slightly different. The tightening margin γ is set in a direction in which the concave portions 38d of the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L and 38R are expanded radially inward and outward by fitting the convex portions 33b of the connecting member 33. And in the fitting state of the convex part 33b of the connecting member 33 and the concave part 38d of the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L and 38R, a gap δ is secured between the top part of the convex part 33b and the bottom part of the concave part 38d.

  The first and second rotor cores 48L and 48R inserted into the outer periphery of the rotor body 45 and fixed by bonding have the same structure, and a plurality (16 in the embodiment) of permanent magnets are disposed along the outer peripheral surface. Support holes 48a (see FIGS. 3 and 4) are provided, and the first and second permanent magnets 52L, 52R,. The polarities of the adjacent first permanent magnets 52L of the first rotor core 48L are alternately reversed, the polarities of the adjacent second permanent magnets 52R of the second rotor core 48R are alternately reversed, and the first rotor core The circumferential direction phase and polarity of the 48L first permanent magnets 52L ... and the circumferential direction phase and polarity of the second permanent magnets 52R ... of the second rotor core 48R are mutually offset so as to be shifted by 180 ° in electrical angle.

A pair of permanent magnet support plates 53, 53 that prevent the first and second permanent magnets 52 </ b> L, 52 </ b> R from coming off are fitted on both sides in the direction of the axis L, respectively, and one permanent magnet support plate 53 is the axis of the rotor body 45. The other permanent magnet support plate 53 is supported by a stopper ring 54 that is press-fitted into the outer periphery on the other end side in the axis L direction of the rotor body 45.

  8, the inner circumference of the teeth 18a of the stator core 18 is formed on the outer circumference of the first induction magnetic poles 38L exposed on the outer circumference of the outer rotor 13 through a slight air gap α. The outer peripheral surface of the first rotor core 48L of the inner rotor 14 is opposed to the inner peripheral surface of the first induction magnetic poles 38L ... exposed on the inner peripheral surface of the outer rotor 13 through a slight air gap β. Similarly, as shown in an enlarged view in FIG. 9, the inner circumference of the teeth 18a of the stator core 18 is formed on the outer circumference of the second induction magnetic poles 38R exposed on the outer circumference of the outer rotor 13 through a slight air gap α. The outer peripheral surface of the second rotor core 48R of the inner rotor 14 is opposed to the inner peripheral surface of the second induction magnetic poles 38R ... exposed on the inner peripheral surface of the outer rotor 13 through a slight air gap β.

  The thickness in the axis L direction of the spacer 22 of the stator 12, the thickness in the axis L direction excluding the protrusions 31 a of the center ring 31 of the outer rotor 13, and the thickness in the axis L direction of the spacer 49 of the inner rotor 14 are set substantially equal. (See FIG. 7).

  As is apparent from FIG. 7, the radial positions of the outer peripheral surfaces 38a of the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L and 38R are the radial positions of the outer peripheral surfaces of the center ring 31 and the first and second rotor flanges 32L and 32R. Accordingly, the air gap α between the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L and 38R and the inner peripheral surface of the stator core 18 can be set small. The radial positions of the outer peripheral surfaces 38a of the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L and 38R protrude radially outward from the radial positions of the outer peripheral surfaces of the center ring 31 and the first and second rotor flanges 32L and 32R. You may let them.

  Next, the operation principle of the electric motor M according to the first embodiment having the above configuration will be described.

  FIG. 15 schematically shows a state where the electric motor M is developed in the circumferential direction. 15 are shown first and second permanent magnets 52L, 52R,... Of the inner rotor 14, respectively. The first and second permanent magnets 52L, 52R,... Are alternately arranged with N and S poles at a predetermined pitch P in the circumferential direction (vertical direction in FIG. 15), and in the axis L direction (left and right in FIG. 15). Are arranged so that the polarities of the first permanent magnets 52L facing each other and the polarities of the second permanent magnets 52R facing each other are reversed.

  15, virtual permanent magnets 21 corresponding to the teeth 18a of the first and second stator cores 18L and 18R of the stator 12 are arranged at a predetermined pitch P in the circumferential direction. Actually, the number of teeth 18a ... of the first and second stator cores 18L, 18R is 96 each, and the number of first, second permanent magnets 52L ..., 52R ... of the inner rotor 14 is 16 each. Therefore, the pitch of the teeth 18a does not coincide with the pitch P of the first and second permanent magnets 52L, 52R,.

  However, since the teeth 18a of the first and second stator cores 18L and 18R each form a rotating magnetic field, the first and second stator cores 18L and 18R are arranged at a pitch P and rotated in the circumferential direction. These virtual permanent magnets 21 can be replaced. Hereinafter, the first and second stator cores 18L and 18R will be referred to as first and second virtual magnetic poles 18L and 18R of the virtual permanent magnets 21 and so on. The polarities of the first and second virtual magnetic poles 18L of the virtual permanent magnets 21 adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction are alternately reversed, and the first virtual magnetic poles 18L of the virtual permanent magnets 21 ... The two virtual magnetic poles 18R have the same polarity and are aligned in the axis L direction. The reason is that the first and second stator cores 18L and 18R are substantially a single stator core 18.

  The first and second induction magnetic poles 38L, 38R,... Of the outer rotor 13 are arranged between the first and second permanent magnets 52L, 52R,. The first and second induction magnetic poles 38L, 38R,... Are arranged at a pitch P in the circumferential direction, and the first induction magnetic poles 38L, ... and the second induction magnetic poles 38R, ... are displaced by half the pitch P in the circumferential direction. (See FIG. 5).

  As shown in FIG. 15, when the polarity of the first virtual magnetic pole 18 </ b> L of the virtual permanent magnet 21 is different from the polarity of the first permanent magnet 52 </ b> L facing (closest) to the first virtual magnetic pole 18 </ b> L, The polarity is the same as the polarity of the second permanent magnet 52R facing (closest) to it. When the polarity of the second virtual magnetic pole 18R of the virtual permanent magnet 21 is different from the polarity of the second permanent magnet 52R facing (closest) to it, the polarity of the first virtual magnetic pole 18L of the virtual permanent magnet 21 faces it. It becomes the same as the polarity of the (closest) first permanent magnet 52L (see FIG. 17G).

  First, the first and second stator cores 18L and 18R (first and second virtual magnetic poles 18L... 18R...) With the inner rotor 14 (first and second permanent magnets 52L,. ) To generate a rotating magnetic field, the operation when the outer rotor 13 (first and second induction magnetic poles 38L..., 38R...) Is rotationally driven will be described. In this case, it is fixed in the order of FIG. 16 (A) → FIG. 16 (B) → FIG. 16 (C) → FIG. 16 (D) → FIG. 17 (E) → FIG. 17 (F) → FIG. The virtual permanent magnets 21 ... rotate downward in the figure relative to the first and second permanent magnets 52L ... 52R ..., whereby the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L ... 38R ... rotate downward in the figure. .

  As shown in FIG. 16 (A), the first induction magnetic poles 38L are aligned and opposed to the first virtual poles 18L of the first permanent magnets 52L,. The virtual permanent magnets 21 are rotated downward in the figure from the state where the second induction magnetic poles 38R are shifted by a half pitch P / 2 with respect to the two virtual magnetic poles 18R and the second permanent magnets 52R. At the start of the rotation, the polarities of the first virtual magnetic poles 18L of the virtual permanent magnets 21 ... are different from the polarities of the first permanent magnets 52L ... opposed thereto, and the second virtual magnetic poles 18R of the virtual permanent magnets 21 ... The polarity of... Is the same as the polarity of the second permanent magnet 52R.

  Since the first induction magnetic poles 38L are disposed between the first permanent magnets 52L ... and the first virtual magnetic poles 18L of the virtual permanent magnets 21 ..., the first induction magnetic poles 38L ... are first permanent magnets 52L ... and first. Magnetized by the virtual magnetic poles 18L, and first magnetic lines of force G1 are generated between the first permanent magnets 52L, the first induction magnetic poles 38L, and the first virtual magnetic poles 18L. Similarly, since the second induction magnetic poles 38R are disposed between the second virtual magnetic poles 18R and the second permanent magnets 52R, the second induction magnetic poles 38R are the second virtual magnetic poles 18R and the second permanent magnets 52R. Are magnetized, and second magnetic lines of force G2 are generated between the second virtual magnetic poles 18R, second induction magnetic poles 38R, and second permanent magnets 52R.

  In the state shown in FIG. 16A, the first magnetic lines of force G1 are generated so as to connect the first permanent magnets 52L, the first induction magnetic poles 38L, and the first virtual magnetic poles 18L, and the second magnetic lines of force G2 are circular. Each of the two second virtual magnets 18R... Adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction and each of the two second permanent magnets 52R... Adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction so as to connect the second induction magnetic poles 38R. It is generated so as to connect the second induction magnetic poles 38R. As a result, a magnetic circuit as shown in FIG. In this state, since the first magnetic lines of force G1 are linear, no magnetic force that rotates in the circumferential direction acts on the first induction magnetic poles 38L. In addition, the bending degree and the total magnetic flux amount of the two second magnetic lines G2 between each of the two second virtual magnetic poles 18R... And the second induction magnetic poles 38R... Adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction are equal to each other. The bending degree and the total magnetic flux amount of the two second magnetic lines of force G2 between the two adjacent second permanent magnets 52R and the second induction magnetic poles 38R are also equal and balanced. Therefore, a magnetic force that rotates in the circumferential direction does not act on the second induction magnetic poles 38R.

  When the virtual permanent magnets 21 are rotated from the position shown in FIG. 16A to the position shown in FIG. 16B, the second virtual magnetic poles 18R, the second induction magnetic poles 38R, and the second permanent magnets 52R are moved. The second magnetic field lines G2 that are connected are generated, and the first magnetic field lines G1 between the first induction magnetic poles 38L and the first virtual magnetic poles 18L are bent. Accordingly, a magnetic circuit as shown in FIG. 18B is configured by the first and second magnetic lines of force G1, G2.

  In this state, although the degree of bending of the first magnetic lines of force G1 is small, the total magnetic flux amount is large, so that a relatively strong magnetic force acts on the first induction magnetic poles 38L. As a result, the first induction magnetic poles 38L are driven with a relatively large driving force in the rotation direction of the virtual permanent magnets 21, that is, the magnetic field rotation direction, and as a result, the outer rotor 13 rotates in the magnetic field rotation direction. Further, although the degree of bending of the second magnetic lines of force G2 is large, the total magnetic flux amount is small, so that a relatively weak magnetic force acts on the second induction magnetic poles 38R, so that the second induction magnetic poles 38R are relatively in the magnetic field rotation direction. Driven with a small driving force, the outer rotor 13 rotates in the direction of magnetic field rotation.

  Next, when the virtual permanent magnet 21 is sequentially rotated from the position shown in FIG. 16B to the positions shown in FIGS. 16C, 16D, 17E, and 17F, the first induction magnetic pole 38L. ... and the second induction magnetic poles 38R are driven in the direction of magnetic field rotation by the magnetic force caused by the first and second magnetic lines of force G1, G2, respectively. As a result, the outer rotor 13 rotates in the direction of magnetic field rotation. In the meantime, the magnetic force acting on the first induction magnetic poles 38L is gradually weakened by decreasing the total magnetic flux amount, although the bending degree of the first magnetic lines G1 is increased. The driving force for driving in the direction gradually decreases. Further, the magnetic force acting on the second induction magnetic poles 38R is gradually increased as the total magnetic flux amount is increased, although the degree of bending of the second magnetic lines G2 is reduced, and the second induction magnetic poles 38R are made to move in the magnetic field rotation direction. The driving force to drive gradually increases.

  And while the virtual permanent magnet 21 rotates from the position shown in FIG. 17 (E) to the position shown in FIG. 17 (F), the second magnetic lines of force G2 are bent and the total magnetic flux amount is close to the maximum. As a result, the strongest magnetic force acts on the second induction magnetic poles 38R, and the driving force acting on the second induction magnetic poles 38R is maximized. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 17 (G), the virtual permanent magnet 21 is rotated by the pitch P from the initial position of FIG. 16 (A), whereby the first, second virtual magnetic poles 18L,. When 18R rotates to a position opposite to the first and second permanent magnets 52L, 52R, respectively, the state of FIG. 16A is reversed and the left and right are reversed, and only at that moment the outer rotor 13 is moved in the circumferential direction. The rotating magnetic force stops working.

  When the virtual permanent magnet 21 further rotates from this state, the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L, 38R,... Are driven in the magnetic field rotation direction by the magnetic force caused by the first and second magnetic lines G1, G2. The rotor 13 rotates in the magnetic field rotation direction. At that time, while the virtual permanent magnet 21 is rotated again to the position shown in FIG. 16A, the magnetic force acting on the first induction magnetic poles 38L... Is smaller in the degree of bending of the first magnetic line G1. However, as the total amount of magnetic flux increases, the strength increases and the driving force acting on the first induction magnetic poles 38L increases. On the contrary, the magnetic force acting on the second induction magnetic poles 38R... Is weakened by decreasing the total magnetic flux amount, although the bending degree of the second magnetic lines G2 is increased, and the driving force acting on the second induction magnetic poles 38R. Becomes smaller.

  16A and FIG. 17G, as the virtual permanent magnet 21 rotates by the pitch P, the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L,. Since it rotates only by the pitch P / 2, the outer rotor 13 rotates at a speed that is 1/2 the rotational speed of the rotating magnetic field of the first and second virtual magnetic poles 18L, 18R. This is because the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L,..., 38R... Are connected to the first permanent magnet 52L. This is to rotate while maintaining a state of being positioned in the middle of the first virtual magnetic pole 18L, and in the middle of the second permanent magnet 52R and the second virtual magnetic pole 18R connected by the second magnetic field line G2.

  Next, the operation of the electric motor M when the inner rotor 14 is rotated while the outer rotor 13 is fixed will be described with reference to FIGS. 19 and 20.

  First, as shown in FIG. 19A, the first induction magnetic poles 38L are opposed to the first permanent magnets 52L, and the second induction magnetic poles 38R are adjacent to each other two second permanent magnets 52R. .., The first and second rotating magnetic fields are rotated downward in the figure. At the start of the rotation, the polarities of the first virtual magnetic poles 18L ... are made different from the polarities of the first permanent magnets 52L ... facing each other, and the polarities of the second virtual magnetic poles 18R ... The same as the polarity of the two permanent magnets 52R.

  From this state, when the virtual permanent magnets 21 are rotated to the positions shown in FIG. 19B, the first magnetic lines of force G1 between the first induction magnetic poles 38L and the first virtual magnetic poles 18L are bent, and As the second virtual magnetic poles 18R approach the second induction magnetic poles 38R, second magnetic lines G2 that connect the second virtual magnetic poles 18R, the second induction magnetic poles 38R, and the second permanent magnets 52R are generated. As a result, in the first and second permanent magnets 52L, 52R, the virtual permanent magnet 21, and the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L, 38R, the magnetic circuit as shown in FIG. Composed.

  In this state, although the total magnetic flux of the first magnetic lines G1 between the first permanent magnets 52L and the first induction magnetic poles 38L is high, the first magnetic lines G1 are straight, so the first induction magnetic poles 38L. However, no magnetic force is generated to rotate the first permanent magnets 52L. Further, since the distance between the second permanent magnets 52R ... and the second virtual magnetic poles 18R ... having different polarities is relatively long, the second magnetic lines of force between the second induction magnetic poles 38R ... and the second permanent magnets 52R ... Although the total magnetic flux amount of G2 is relatively small, the bending degree is large, so that a magnetic force is applied to the second permanent magnets 52R, so as to bring them close to the second induction magnetic poles 38R. Thus, the second permanent magnets 52R are driven together with the first permanent magnets 52L in the rotational direction of the virtual permanent magnets 21, that is, in the direction opposite to the magnetic field rotational direction (upward in FIG. 19). Rotate toward the position shown in As a result, the inner rotor 14 rotates in the direction opposite to the magnetic field rotation direction.

  Then, while the first and second permanent magnets 52L, 52R,... Rotate from the position shown in FIG. 19B toward the position shown in FIG. 19C, the virtual permanent magnets 21. Rotate toward the position shown in As described above, as the second permanent magnets 52R approach the second induction magnetic poles 38R ..., the degree of bending of the second magnetic lines G2 between the second induction magnetic poles 38R ... and the second permanent magnets 52R ... becomes small. However, as the virtual permanent magnets 21 further approach the second induction magnetic poles 38R, the total magnetic flux amount of the second magnetic lines of force G2 increases. As a result, in this case as well, a magnetic force is applied to the second permanent magnets 52R... So as to bring them closer to the second induction magnetic poles 38R, thereby causing the second permanent magnets 52R. .. And the magnetic field rotation direction.

  Further, as the first permanent magnets 52L rotate in the direction opposite to the magnetic field rotation direction, the first permanent magnetic lines G1 between the first permanent magnets 52L ... and the first induction magnetic poles 38L ... A magnetic force is applied to the magnets 52L to bring them close to the first induction magnetic poles 38L. However, in this state, the magnetic force caused by the first magnetic field line G1 is weaker than the magnetic force caused by the second magnetic field line G2 because the degree of bending of the first magnetic field line G1 is smaller than that of the second magnetic field line G2. As a result, the second permanent magnets 52R are driven together with the first permanent magnets 52L in the direction opposite to the magnetic field rotation direction by the magnetic force corresponding to the difference between the two magnetic forces.

  As shown in FIG. 19D, the distance between the first permanent magnets 52L ... and the first induction magnetic poles 38L ... and the distance between the second induction magnetic poles 38R ... and the second permanent magnets 52R ... Are substantially equal to each other, the total magnetic flux amount and the degree of bending of the first magnetic lines G1 between the first permanent magnets 52L ... and the first induction magnetic poles 38L ... are the second induction magnetic poles 38R ... and the second permanent magnets 52R. Are approximately equal to the total amount of magnetic flux and the degree of bending of the second magnetic field lines G2 between them.

  As a result, the first and second permanent magnets 52L, 52R,... Are temporarily not driven when the magnetic forces caused by the first and second magnetic lines G1, G2 are substantially balanced with each other.

  When the virtual permanent magnets 21... Rotate from this state to the position shown in FIG. 20 (E), the generation state of the first magnetic lines of force G1 changes, and a magnetic circuit as shown in FIG. 20 (F) is configured. As a result, the magnetic force caused by the first magnetic field lines G1 hardly acts so as to bring the first permanent magnets 52L close to the first induction magnetic poles 38L, so that the second permanent magnets are caused by the magnetic force caused by the second magnetic field lines G2. 52R, together with the first permanent magnets 52L, are driven in the direction opposite to the magnetic field rotation direction to the position shown in FIG.

  When the virtual permanent magnets 21 are slightly rotated from the position shown in FIG. 20 (G), the first magnetic lines G1 between the first permanent magnets 52L and the first induction magnetic poles 38L are reversed from the above. The resulting magnetic force acts on the first permanent magnets 52L, so as to be close to the first induction magnetic poles 38L, so that the first permanent magnets 52L ... together with the second permanent magnets 52R ... Driven in the reverse direction, the inner rotor 14 rotates in the direction opposite to the magnetic field rotation direction. When the virtual permanent magnets 21 are further rotated, the magnetic force resulting from the first magnetic lines G1 between the first permanent magnets 52L and the first induction magnetic poles 38L, the second induction magnetic poles 38R and the second permanent magnets 52R. The first permanent magnets 52L are driven together with the second permanent magnets 52R in a direction opposite to the magnetic field rotation direction by a magnetic force corresponding to a difference in magnetic force caused by the second magnetic field lines G2 between the first permanent magnet 52L and the second permanent magnet 52R. After that, when the magnetic force caused by the second magnetic field lines G2 hardly acts so as to bring the second permanent magnets 52R to the second induction magnetic poles 38R ..., the first permanent magnets 52L are caused by the magnetic force caused by the first magnetic field lines G1. Are driven together with the second permanent magnets 52R.

  As described above, with the rotation of the first and second rotating magnetic fields, the magnetic force caused by the first magnetic field lines G1 between the first permanent magnets 52L and the first induction magnetic poles 38L, and the second induction magnetic poles 38R. The magnetic force caused by the second magnetic field line G2 between the first permanent magnets 52R and the second permanent magnets 52R, and the magnetic force corresponding to the difference between these magnetic forces are applied to the first and second permanent magnets 52L, 52R, that is, the inner rotor. 14, the inner rotor 14 rotates in the direction opposite to the magnetic field rotation direction. In addition, when the magnetic force, that is, the driving force acts alternately on the inner rotor 14 as described above, the torque of the inner rotor 14 becomes substantially constant.

  In this case, the inner rotor 14 rotates in reverse at the same speed as the first and second rotating magnetic fields. This is because the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L,..., 38R... Are intermediate between the first permanent magnets 52L and the first virtual magnetic poles 18L due to the magnetic force caused by the first and second magnetic lines of force G1 and G2. , And the second permanent magnets 52L, 52R,..., And the second virtual magnets 18R,.

  As described above, the case where the inner rotor 14 is fixed and the outer rotor 13 is rotated in the magnetic field rotation direction and the case where the outer rotor 13 is fixed and the inner rotor 14 is rotated in the direction opposite to the magnetic field rotation direction have been described separately. Of course, both the inner rotor 14 and the outer rotor 13 can be rotated in opposite directions.

  As described above, when rotating either one of the inner rotor 14 and the outer rotor 13 or both the inner rotor 14 and the outer rotor 13, depending on the relative rotational positions of the inner rotor 14 and the outer rotor 13, The magnetization states of the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L,..., 38R,... Can be rotated without causing slippage, and function as a synchronous machine. The first virtual magnetic poles 18L, the first permanent magnets 52L, and the first induction magnetic poles 38L are set to have the same number, the second virtual magnetic poles 18R, the second permanent magnets 52R, and the second induction magnetic poles. 38R is set to be equal to each other, the torque of the electric motor M can be sufficiently obtained when either the inner rotor 14 or the outer rotor 13 is driven.

  Next, the effect by the structure of the outer rotor 13 mentioned above is demonstrated.

  Since the convex portions 33b, 33b of the connecting member 33 and the concave portions 38d, 38d of the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L, 38R are coupled by press-fitting, the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L, 38R are accompanied by the rotation of the outer rotor 13. A radially outward centrifugal force acting on the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L and 38R is securely supported so as not to rattle by transmitting the radially outward centrifugal force to the connecting member 33 via the convex portions 33b and 33b and the concave portions 38d and 38d. can do. At this time, since the interference γ for press-fitting the convex portions 33b and 33b and the concave portions 38d and 38d is set in the radial direction (see FIG. 14), the connecting member 33 and the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L and 38R are radially formed. It is possible to prevent only the deformation in the circumferential direction by deformation only, and to prevent the deformation in the circumferential direction from accumulating and distorting the shape of the outer rotor 13.

  In addition, in the coupled state of the projections 33b and 33b and the recesses 38d and 38d, a gap δ is formed between the top of the projections 33b and 33b and the bottom of the recesses 38d and 38d (see FIG. 13). It is possible to prevent a large stress caused by the press-fitting load from acting on the induction magnetic poles 38L and 38R. Thereby, a fragile but strong magnetic material can be selected for the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L and 38R, and the degree of freedom in material selection can be increased.

  Further, since the cross-sectional shape of the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L and 38R in the direction orthogonal to the axis L is a trapezoid in which the circumferential length of the outer circumferential surface 38a is smaller than the circumferential length of the inner circumferential surface 38c, As the rotor 13 rotates, the radially outward centrifugal force acting on the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L and 38R is transmitted to the connecting member 33 so that the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L and 38R do not fall off. It can be reliably supported.

  Further, both end portions in the axis L direction of the outer peripheral surface 33a of the connecting member 33 are brought into contact with the protruding portions 31a provided on the center ring 31 and the protruding portions 32b and 32b provided on the first and second rotor flanges 32L and 32R. Therefore, the radially outward centrifugal force acting on the connecting member 33 as the outer rotor 13 rotates is transmitted to and supported by the center ring 31 and the first and second rotor flanges 32L, 32R, and the connecting member 33. Can be accurately positioned in the radial direction to increase the accuracy of the shape of the outer rotor 13.

  In addition, the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L and 38R are urged in the direction of the axis L by the resilient members 41 and 41 disposed between the first and second rotor flanges 32L and 32R and are pressed against the center ring 31. In addition, it is possible to absorb the variation in the dimension in the axis L direction of the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L and 38R due to the lamination of a large number of thin sheets of soft magnetic material, and to prevent the occurrence of backlash.

  Further, the center ring 31 and the first and second rotor flanges 32L and 32R on both sides in the axis L direction are connected by a plurality of connecting members 33 and bolts 39 arranged at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction, and adjacent to each other. Since the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L and 38R are supported between the two connection members 33 and 33, the rigidity of the outer rotor 13 can be increased by the connection member 33, thereby the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L. ..., 38R ... can prevent deformation of the outer rotor 13 due to the centrifugal force acting on it.

  Further, when the connecting member 33 is fixed to the center ring 31 and the first and second rotor flanges 32L and 32R with the bolt 39 penetrating the connecting member 33, the vicinity of the bolt hole 33d on the inner peripheral surface 33c of the connecting member 33 is reduced in diameter. Since the bolt 39 can be inserted, the cross-sectional area of the connecting member 33 can be minimized, the eddy current flowing through the connecting member 33 can be minimized, and the loss can be reduced. it can.

  Further, since the thickness of the connecting member 33 in the radial direction is made larger than that of the other portions in the vicinity of the bolt hole 33d, the strength of the connecting member 33 is maintained to be large enough to receive the fastening load of the bolt 39, The volume of the connecting member 33 can be minimized to reduce the amount of eddy current generated, and loss due to eddy current can be reduced.

  Next, the effect by the structure of the stator 12 mentioned above is demonstrated.

  First and second induction magnetic poles 38L, 38R, which are juxtaposed in the axis L direction via the center ring 31 with the outer rotor 13, and first and second stator cores 18L, which are juxtaposed in the axis L direction via the spacer 22 with the stator 12. , 18R are opposed to each other, so that the first and second stator cores 18L, 18R are integrated without the spacer 22 to form the stator 12 having the same dimension in the axis L direction. Thus, the material of the first and second stator cores 18L and 18R can be reduced by the amount of the spacer 22, which can contribute to weight reduction and cost reduction.

  In addition, by integrating the first and second stator cores 18L and 18R via the spacers 22, the rigidity of the stator 12 can be improved and the winding cost of the coil 19 can be reduced. At this time, since the polarities of the first and second stator cores 18L and 18R located on both sides of the spacer 22 are the same in polarity, the spacer 22 is made of a weak magnetic material that hardly causes a magnetic short circuit. This eliminates the need to improve the freedom of material selection.

  In addition, since the common coil 19 is wound around the first and second stator cores 18L and 18R, not only can the structure be simplified and the winding cost can be reduced, but also the first and second stator cores 18L and 18R can face each other in the direction of the axis L. The polarity of the magnetic poles to be made can be the same, and a short circuit of the magnetic flux between the magnetic poles can be avoided. Furthermore, by configuring the spacer 22 with a non-conductive member, it is possible to prevent the eddy current from being generated in the spacer 22 and reduce the loss.

  Further, the center ring 31 is disposed between the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L, 38R,... Of the outer rotor 13, and the spacer 49 is disposed between the first, second permanent magnets 52L, 52R, of the inner rotor 14. Therefore, the center ring 31 and the spacer 49 are made to correspond to the spacer 22 between the first and second stator cores 38L and 38R, and the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L,. 1. The material of the second rotor cores 48L and 48R can be saved.

  Further, since the width of the center ring 31 of the outer rotor 13, the width of the spacer 49 of the inner rotor 14 and the width of the spacer 22 of the stator 12 are made substantially the same, the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L,. The first and second permanent magnets 52L, 52R,... Of the inner rotor 14 and the first and second stator cores 18L, 18R of the stator 12 are aligned in the radial direction so as not to be displaced in the direction of the axis L, and the magnetic flux between them is Delivery can be performed efficiently.

  Since the center ring 31 of the outer rotor 13 is made of a weak magnetic material, even if the polarities of the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L, 38R,. The occurrence of a magnetic short circuit can be prevented by the weakly magnetic center ring 31 having a large magnetic resistance disposed therebetween. Similarly, since the spacer 49 of the inner rotor 14 is made of a weak magnetic material, even if the polarities of the first and second permanent magnets 52L, 52R,. The occurrence of a magnetic short-circuit can be prevented by the weak magnetic spacer 49 having a large magnetic resistance disposed between them.

  Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  The elastic member 41 of the first embodiment is integrally provided with a leaf spring-shaped pressing portion 41b on a circlip-shaped locking portion 41a, but the elastic member 41 of the second embodiment is A coil spring-like pressing portion 41b is fixed to a circlip-like locking portion 41a by caulking or the like. Also according to the second embodiment, the same effect as that of the first embodiment can be achieved.

  Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the first embodiment, when the coupling member 33 is coupled to the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L and 38R, the projections 33b and 33b are provided on the coupling member 33 side, and the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L are provided. , 38R are provided with the recesses 38d, 38d. However, in the third embodiment, the relationship between the recesses and protrusions is reversed, and the recesses 33f, 33f are provided on the connecting member 33 side to provide the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L, 38R. Protrusions 38e, 38e are provided on the side.

  The relationship between the interference γ and the gap δ when press-fitting the concave portion 33f and the convex portion 38e is the same as that of the first embodiment (see FIGS. 13 and 14), and the same effect as that of the first embodiment. Can be achieved.

  Next, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

  In the fourth embodiment, two lightening portions 33 g and 33 g penetrating in the direction of the axis L are formed on both ends of the connecting member 33 in the circumferential direction. Since the volume of the connecting member 33 is reduced by forming the thinned portions 33g and 33g, it is possible to reduce the eddy current generated accordingly and contribute to the reduction of the loss.

  The embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but various design changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

  For example, the rotating electrical machine of the present invention is not limited to the electric motor M of the embodiment, and may be any rotating electrical machine such as a generator.

  In the embodiment, the insulating coatings 31d and 32d are applied to the portions where the center ring 31 and the first and second rotor flanges 32L and 32R are in contact with the connecting members 33, but instead of applying the insulating coatings 31d and 32d, The center ring 31 and the first and second rotor flanges 32L and 32R may be made of a non-conductive material.

  In the embodiment, the elastic members 41 are arranged between the first and second rotor flanges 32L, 32R and the first and second induction magnetic poles 38L, 38R, but the center ring 31 and the first rotor The elastic members 41... May be disposed between the second induction magnetic poles 38 L,.

  Further, in the embodiment, the bolt holes 33d... Pass through the connecting member 33. However, the bolt holes 33d are not necessarily required to pass through the connecting member 33, and the bolt holes 33d.
