Description of the Invention: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention generally relates to electric machines. More particularly, the present invention relates to a rotating modulated pole motor such as a transverse flux machine having one of a permanent magnet rotor rotating. This type of motor can be used as an electric motor or a generator depending on the field of application. [Prior Art] A transverse flux machine (TFM) topology is an example of a modulated magnetic pole motor. It is known to have many advantages over conventional motors. The basic design of a single-sided radial flux stator is characterized by a simple single-phase coil parallel to one of the air gaps and having one of the two parallel columns surrounding the coil and facing the teeth of the β-air gap. A generally u-shaped segment of the vehicle. An example of an efficient rotor is the use of a so-called embedded magnet in combination with a soft magnetic pole section or a soft magnetic pole piece to allow the permanent magnet magnetic field to be used, as described in, for example, the patent application No. WO2007/024184 to the same. The flux is concentrated or flexible in one direction transverse to the motion. W02007/024184 discloses a rotating electrical machine comprising a first stator core section, the first stator core section being substantially annular and comprising a plurality of teeth; a second stator core section, the second The stator core segment is substantially annular and includes a plurality of gear teeth; a coil disposed between the first and second annular stator core segments; and a rotor including a plurality of permanent magnets a first stator core segment, the second stator core segment, the coil and the rotor surround a common geometric axis, and the first stator core 152806.doc 201141010 body segment and the second stator core region The plurality of gear teeth of the segment are configured to project toward the rotor. Further, the teeth of the second stator core segment are offset from the circumference of the teeth of the first stator core segment and are axially extended by a magnetic pole segment made of a soft magnetic material. The permanent magnets in the rotor are separated from each other in the circumferential direction. A multiphase motor can be obtained by axially stacking a plurality of stator phase segments. The stacking of the individual stator phase segments advantageously utilizes a physical magnetic separation between the individual phase segments to reduce those phases that may have the effect of reducing one of the effective magnetic fluxes in the air gap during operation Magnetic compatibility between. The stator core segments can advantageously be fabricated from metal powder by a suitable compaction process. The first and second stator core regions can be fabricated as two separate components that are assembled when the stator is fabricated. WO 2009/116936 discloses an efficient compaction process in which both the first and second stator core segments are compacted into a single integrated assembly. The sinusoidal coil typically has two connecting wires (a guiding wire and a trailing wire) that supply current to the coil, and the connecting wires are guided from the coil to a connection region of the stator. It is generally desirable to provide several components of a modulated pole motor that can be manufactured at lower manufacturing costs and that can be efficiently assembled in order to obtain a modulated pole motor. It is generally further desirable to provide several components of a modulated pole motor that meet one or more of the following criteria: high stability, high durability, high strain resistance, light weight, and efficient use of the resulting modulated pole motor Energy number or value (such as torque per unit volume and/or torque per unit current) 152806.doc 201141010 [Disclosed herein] A stator for a rotating electrical machine, the stator comprising: • a ring-shaped stator core a segment, each annular stator core segment comprising a respective plurality of teeth protruding from respective ones of the first and second annular stator core segments; • a stator core a back, which provides an axial flux bridge between the first and second annular stator core regions 4; a coil axially disposed between the first and second stator core segments, Wherein the first and second stator core segments and the coil surround a common geometric axis; wherein the first stator core segment includes at least a groove forming a wire passage to establish guidance to the coil or The a coil-guided-radial path of the wire, wherein the second stator core segment includes means for directing the first and first stator core segments relative to the first stator core segment An index projection that is assembled with each other in a predetermined circumferential position of the teeth of the second stator core segment of the tooth; and wherein the index projection is adapted to extend axially into the wire passage Positioning a circumferential position of the second stator core segment relative to the first stator core segment. Thus, the stator core segment can be utilized in a small amount by combining the index feature with the wire channel The three-dimensional features maintain a relatively simple structure, thus providing a robust process with a lower risk of tool collapse (e.g., when the stator core segments are made of magnetic powder by a powder compaction process). By providing a wire path for feeding one of the coil connection wires to one of the stators 152806.doc 201141010 connection area, the size of the annular hole provided between the stator core segments can be maximized Jiahua The size of the coil. It should be understood that the coil may contain a single winding or multiple windings. The index projection may have an axial dimension that allows the index projection to extend only to one of the depths of the conductor channel. Means, in order to leave a path of a wire between the indicator protrusion and the bottom of one of the wire channels. The index protrusion may have a lateral dimension matching one of the wire channel widths to allow the The index projections are slidably engaged in one of the wire passages and provide precise circumferential alignment between the first and second stator core segments. In some embodiments, the stator core segments are a soft magnetic Structure: An advantage is that the improved (4) rate of the soft magnetic structure is effective in improving the unit volume. In one embodiment, the stator core section is made of a magnetic powder such as soft magnetic powder. The fabrication of the stator device from the magnetic powder can simplify the manufacture of the stator device, and the concentration of flux utilizing the advantages of an effective three-dimensional flux path can be more efficient. , · "... Eight printed on the magnetic powder and compacted - shaped - Hai Jingzi heart section of the punch to form a wiring channel. When the wire passage is provided on the "first" side of the first (four) segment and the first stator β' projection is opposite to the second side of the first body portion (for example, in the form of a ridge) When, the output system is axially aligned with the wire channel, and the first stator core segment can be fabricated by a simple work ratio: rj or even the first stator A variation in the axial thickness of the core section 152806.doc 201141010 A further advantage of the stator described herein is that it requires only simple, robust and relatively inexpensive tooling for its manufacture. In some embodiments, the first and second stator core segments each include a recess that defines a wire passage to establish a radial path leading to or guiding one of the wires from the coil And an index protrusion for guiding the first and second stator core segments to the second stator core segment of the teeth relative to the first stator core segment The predetermined circumferential positions of the teeth are assembled to each other; and wherein the index projections are adapted to extend axially to another corresponding one of the first and second stator core segments A circumferential position of the second stator core segment is defined in the wire passage relative to the first stator core segment. In addition, the index protrusion of each of the stator anger segments may be offset from the circumference of the wire channel of the stator core segment. Thus, the stator includes two circumferentially and axially separated radial wire passages that match the winding geometry of the coil and simplify the installation of the coil. In some embodiments, the coil includes two connecting wires (a guide wire and a trailing wire) disposed on respective axial sides of the coil, thereby further facilitating efficient assembly of one of the stators. In some embodiments, one or both of the stator core segments may include more than one groove' each groove forming a respective wire passage. For example, the stator may include a plurality of coils (e.g., multiple parallel windings) to reduce the minimum critical mechanical bending radius or the wire size that impedes skin depth, resulting in higher ohmic resistance at increased frequencies. The first and second stator core segments can be provided as two identical components, thus providing a 152806.doc 201141010 efficient manufacturing by using a single design of two stator core halves to enable The one-of-a-kind T-prepared stalker's early tooling kit makes two stators. The stator core back may be located radially on a first side of the coil, and the teeth are radially on a first side of the coil opposite the first side. Thus, when the wire passage provides a radial passage through the back of the stator core, the wire passage provides a passage from the winding region to the connecting region of the stator. The stator core back provided with the flux bridge may be one of the stator yoke members concentrically disposed with the first and second stator core segments. In some embodiments, each annular stator core segment has an inner side adjacent one of the coils and away from an outer side of the coil; and the first stator core segment includes the inner side of the first stator core segment An annular flange projecting axially, the annular flange forming at least a portion of the back of the stator core. The flange may be substantially continuous in the circumferential direction and concentric with the stator core section. In some embodiments, the second stator core segment includes an annular flange that projects axially from the inner side of the second stator core segment, and the annular projection of the first stator core segment The rim abuts the annular flange of the second stator core section to form the stator core back. - Thus, in these embodiments, the back of the stator core is provided as an integrated portion of one or two stator core segments. By configuring the stator core section with the integrated stator core back, the process of the components of the stator assembly and the assembly procedure of the stator assembly can be facilitated and made more cost effective. Thus, the stator core segments can provide respective annular walls that provide a radial flux path and define a sidewall for receiving a hole in the coil. The teeth project radially from a first circumferential edge of one of the annular walls. The projections of at least a portion of the back of the stator core are disposed proximate or at a second circumferential edge of the annular wall opposite the first edge. The present invention relates to different aspects of the method and apparatus, and/or product components, including the above and below, each of which produces the same as described in connection with the first aspect mentioned. One or more of the benefits and advantages, and each aspect has one or more embodiments corresponding to the embodiments described in conjunction with the first aspect mentioned and/or in the accompanying claims. In particular, a stator core segment for a stator as described above and below is disclosed herein. Further, a rotating electrical machine disclosed herein includes one of the rotor and a stator described above and below. In some embodiments, the rotor includes a plurality of permanent magnets. In some embodiments, the permanent magnets in the mysterious rotor are separated from one another by magnetic pole segments made of soft magnetic material. In particular, the permanent magnets in the rotor can be circumferentially separated from one another by axially extending pole segments. The pole segments may be made of a magnetic powder which may be magnetized in the circumferential direction and have an alternating orientation. In some embodiments (also referred to as outer rotor configurations), the rotor is disposed about the first and second stator core segments and wherein the teeth extend radially outward. In an alternate embodiment (also referred to as an inner rotor configuration), the stator surrounds the rotor arrangement & and the teeth extend radially inwardly. 152806.doc •10· 201141010 - In the case of the fe, the shai rotary motor is a modulated pole motor. In a well-known motor, the coil clearly forms a multipole structure of the magnetic field, and the core function only carries the multipole field to link the magnets and/or other coils. In a pole-pole motor, the magnetic circuit is turned into a multi-pole magnetic field by a very weak magnetic pole (often two) generated by the coil. In a modulated pole motor, the magnets typically form a matching multipole field, but may have a magnetic circuit that forms a multipole field from a single magnet. During operation, an embodiment of a modulated pole motor has a three dimensional (10) flux path including a flux path component in a lateral direction relative to the direction of movement. The stator and/or rotor may include such a transverse flux path component, i.e., one of the magnetic path control components in the axial direction. One of the benefits of having this modulation is that each pole encounters all of the magnetomotive force (MMF) of the coil, such that as the number of poles increases, the strength of the magnetic field (MMF/meter) & increases without producing any change. This can be compared to a conventional motor in which the number of coils increases as the number of poles increases, and thus the coils become smaller. However, the pole pitch decreases as the number of poles increases, so that as the number of poles increases, the strength of the magnetic field in a conventional motor is approximately constant because of the MMF/coil reduction and the pole pitch reduction. In some embodiments, the modulated pole motor includes a claw pole configuration or extension. For a modulated pole motor, a geometry of the torque formed by a circumferential/axial surface is considered to be fixed (ie, a radial field motor) that can carry the field radially across the air gap with the magnetic circuit. The gap is circumferentially spaced by a pole pitch 'this can be done in the stator or the rotor or in portions 152806.doc 201141010' and the operation is performed axially in both directions to enclose the coil. The claw pole configuration is produced if the axial magnetic circuit is closed in the stator surrounding the coil. The rotating electrical machine can be a multi-phase electric machine, wherein the stator is a multi-phase stator, wherein the phases are arranged side by side in the axial direction, and wherein each phase comprises two stator core segments (each having a respective wheel) a tooth set), a flux bridge connecting one of the stator core segments and a coil, and wherein the gear teeth are configured to protrude toward the rotor. The above and/or additional objects, features and advantages of the present invention will be further clarified by the following description of the embodiments of the invention.

In addition, the stator core section 14, the coil 2〇 and the rotor 3〇 surround a common geometric axis 1〇3′ and the plurality of gear teeth of the two stator core sections 14 are configured to Projecting toward the rotor 3 turns to form a closed toroidal flux path. The motor of Figure 1 is of the radial air gap flux outer rotor type because the stator teeth project radially toward one of the rotors in the case where the stator surrounds the rotor. However, it is also possible to incorporate the stator with respect to the rotor, which is also shown in some of the following figures. The stator described herein can be used in conjunction with different types of modulated pole motors, such as both axial and radial types and for motors with both internal and external stators relative to the rotor. Similarly, the stator described herein can be applied to single phase motors as well as multiphase motors. The stator core segments 14 are shown in the figures as laminated sheets, i.e., stacked sheets of soft magnetic material separated by a thin electrical insulator. Those skilled in the art are familiar with the general techniques of laminating a stator core. However, it will be appreciated that the stator core segments can be formed as a compacting assembly made of soft magnetic metal powder. In particular, the stator core segments can have a wire channel and an index projection as described herein. The active rotor structure 30 is constructed from an even number of segments 22, 24, while half of the segments (also referred to as pole segments 24) are made of a soft magnetic material and the other segments are made of a permanent magnet material 22. The latest method is to make these segments into individual components. The number of fragments can often be quite large, typically from about 1 to 50 individual monomers. The permanent magnets 22 are disposed such that the magnetization directions of the permanent magnets are substantially circumferential, that is, the north and south poles are respectively opposed in a substantially circumferential direction. Further, every other permanent magnet 22 counted along the circumference is arranged such that its magnetization direction is in the opposite direction to the other permanent magnets. The magnetic function of the soft magnetic pole elements 24 in the desired motor configuration is completely three dimensional and requires the soft magnetic pole unit 24 to efficiently carry magnetic flux with high magnetic permeability in all three spatial directions. The conventional design using one of the laminated steel sheets does not exhibit the required high magnetic permeability in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the steel sheets, and is advantageously used here to exhibit more than a new laminated steel sheet structure. A soft magnetic structure and material of a high magnetic flux isotropic. Figure 2 shows the same radially modulated pole motor as in Figure 1, but in a cross-sectional view of the assembled motor, showing this more clearly. How the stator teeth 102 extend toward the rotor and how the stator teeth of the two stator core segments 14 are rotationally offset relative to one another. The rotor 12 and the stator 1 are designed to concentrate the magnetic flux from the permanent magnets 22 such that the surface of the rotor 12 facing one of the stator teeth may be from the adjacent permanent magnet 22 The advantage of the total magnetic flux to the surface facing the teeth. This magnetic flux concentration can be regarded as a function of facing the regions of the permanent magnets 22 of the respective magnetic pole sections 24 divided by the area of the teeth. In particular, due to the circumferential misalignment of the teeth, one of the teeth facing a pole segment creates an active air gap that extends only across the axially extending portion of the pole segment. Nonetheless, the magnetic flux from the entire axial extent of the permanent magnets is directed axially and radially in the pole section toward the active air gap. These flux concentration properties of each pole segment 24 may use a weak low cost 152806.doc \λ 201141010 permanent magnet as the permanent magnet 22 in the rotor and may achieve very similar air gap flux density. This magnetic pole section made of a magnetic powder that causes an effective three-dimensional magnetic flux path may promote the concentration of the magnetic flux. In addition, the 誃 design may use these magnets more efficiently than in the corresponding motor type. Another advantage of this design is that the magnets experience the same reluctance that is unrelated to the problem of rotor position relief in the case of pulsating magnetic flux. An example of one of the stators disclosed herein will now be described in more detail with reference to Figures 3-7. Figure 3 shows an example of a three-phase stator containing three sets of stator assemblies, each pair holding a circumferential winding. The stator of Figure 3 includes three stator phase segments 10a to 1 〇c, each stator phase segment being similar to the stator of the figure, but configured for an outer rotor (i.e., having a radially outwardly convex wheel) Tooth ι〇2). As in the example of FIG. 1, each of the modulated pole motor stators of FIG. 3 includes a center coil 20a to 20c that magnetically feeds a plurality of gear teeth ι 2 formed by a soft magnetic core structure (eg, , a single winding), more specifically, each of the stator phases 1 〇 a to i 〇 c of the modulating pole motor 100 shown includes two stator core segments 14 (each stator core segment 14 includes a plurality of The teeth 102 are substantially annular and a coil 20 disposed between the first and second annular stator core segments. In addition, the stator core segments 14 of the stator phases and the coil 20 surround a common axis defined by a central axis 3〇3, and the plurality of teeth i 〇 of the stator core segments 丨4 The 2 series are configured to project radially outward. In the example of Fig. 3, a rotor (not explicitly shown) can be disposed coaxially with the stator and surround the stator to form an air gap between the stator and the teeth 102 of the rotor. The rotor can be provided as 152806.doc -15- 201141010 as described in connection with Figure 1 but having a semi-controlled alternating permanent magnet and pole unit that is sufficiently large to surround the rotor. It should be understood that the stator described herein can also be used in a single phase machine or in a multiphase machine having a phase number different from three. The stator core segments are mounted on a cylindrical sleeve 315 that projects axially through the central opening of the stator core segment. The stator core segments are arranged in pairs such that a coil is sandwiched between one of the stator phases and the stator core segment. The stator configuration is axially fixed, for example, by an annular cover plate (not explicitly shown) that is screwed to the central cylindrical sleeve 315. The isochronous phase segments 1〇3 to 10c may be further axially separated from each other by an annular spacer plate (not shown). Figure 4 shows a single phase stator comprising two stator core segments 14 and a coil. The single-phase stator 1 of the circle 4 can be used as one of a single-phase motor and/or a stator phase of a multi-phase motor (for example, one of the stator phases 10a to l〇c of the motor of FIG. 3). . The stator includes two identical stator segments 14, each of which is made of compacted magnetic powder, wherein each stator segment includes a plurality of teeth 102. Each stator core section is made of magnetic powder metal and is separately compacted to form in the _a® tool. When the stator segments have the same shape, the weirs can be pressed in the same tool. Then, in another operation, the two stator core segments are joined, and the stator (4) is formed with the stator core teeth extending from the scale, and the teeth of the core segment are opposite to the other stator. The tooth axis and the circle of the core section are shown as compacted as one of the single single stator core section groups 152806.doc 201141010. For example, the stator core of the stator of FIG.

A stator core section of the piece 14, one of the body sections. Each of the stator core edges 551 defines a center. In the wheel 6 L stator, 'the circumferential flange 434 is disposed on 535', that is, facing the coil 2〇 and the other embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 to 7, the stator core region Segment 14 is formed as the same component. In particular, the two stator core segments include a convex edge 434 that projects toward the respective other stator core segment. In the assembled stator, the flanges 434 abut one another and form an axial flux bridge that allows for providing an axial flux path between the stator core segments. In the assembled stator of an outer rotor motor, the coil thus surrounds the back of the stator core formed by the flange 434. Each coil 20 has two connecting wires 321 for supplying current to the coil. The connecting wires can be connected to the coil at different circumferential and/or radial positions. In the example shown in Figures 3 to 7, 'each wire is formed as a single winding, one of which is connected to the coil at the radially inward edge of the winding (designated 321a in Figure 7). 'Another connecting wire (designated 3 21 b in Figure 7) is connected to the coil at the outer edge of the winding. The connecting wires 321 are adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction, thereby allowing the maximum complete resistance of the 3 kel coil. The connecting wires are radially directed toward the stator 152806.doc 17 201141010 remote from the rotor, that is, toward the radially inner edge of the stator in the example of the outer rotor design shown in Figures 3-7. Then guiding the connecting wires 32 along the axial direction of the radially inner edge 551 of the isostatic core segment, in the three-phase stator of FIG. 3, guiding all the stator phase connecting wires to the same One of the stators between the inner edge of the stator and the sleeve 3 15 is axially terminated. For this purpose, the sleeve 315 has a recess 325 on its outer surface for receiving the connecting wires 321 . Therefore, the connecting wires 321 can be conveniently connected to one of the control and/or power circuits of the motor (not shown). The connection to the wires 321 can be performed in a connection region on one of the axial sides of the stator. At least one of the connecting wires 32 is guided radially along one of the coils 20. In the example of the outer rotor stator design of Figures 3 through 7, a connecting conductor is guided radially inward from the radially outer edge of the coil 20 as depicted by conductor 321b in Figure 7. Another connecting wire (designated 321a in Figure 7) is directed radially inward from the radially inner edge, thus utilizing only a portion of the wire path of the other stator core segment. The two connecting wires 321a to 321b are radially guided through the back of the stator core formed by the flanges 434. The edge 654 of the recess in the flange 434 facing the coil as shown in Figure 6 may have a "curvature of a sufficiently large radius to avoid any shape edges that may damage the wires. For this purpose 'each stator core section has a radial extension extending along the inner side 535 of each stator core section (i.e., on the side of the stator core section from which the flange 434 extends) An elongated groove of one of the wire passages 43 1 . Figure 6 shows a detailed view of the radial wire passage 431 of the stator core section 14 and a corresponding 152806.doc - J8 * 201141010 indicator feature 432. The recess 43 1 extends from the inner edge 55 of the stator core section to the outer edge of the annular disc from which the teeth 102 extend radially outward. It will be appreciated that if the coil is radially thinner than the annular disc (i.e., extends only outward from the flange without reaching the outer edge of the annular disc), the wire passage may only It is required to extend along a portion of the radial thickness of the stator core section. The wire passage 431 of Figures 3 through 7 is shown as a straight radial guide wire passage. While this provides the simplest design, it should be understood that 'other layouts that can use this channel' are provided as long as they provide a radial path to the inner edge of the 5th hollow core segment. Similarly, it will be further appreciated that the wire channel may not need to extend all the way to the inner edge of the stator core section 'but alternatively terminate in one of the inner edge cuts or even terminate through the stator core region The segment extends axially into a hole in the inner end of the wire channel. However, a particularly simple assembly and wiring layout (especially for multiphase motors) is achieved when the wire path extends all the way to the inner edge. As in the examples of Figures 3 through 7, the wire channel 43A can have any suitable cross-section, such as a rectangular cross-section, a u-shaped cross-section, or a trapezoidal cross-section. As in the examples of Figures 3 through 7, the 忒 wire channel 43 1 ' can be positioned circumferentially between the two teeth thereby reducing any undesired effects on the magnetic flux. The sill stator core section 14 further has a radial ridge 433' on its outer side opposite the inner side 535 on which the flange 434 and the wire passage 43 are provided. The ridge 433 is circumferentially aligned with the wire passage 43 1 , and 152806.doc -19- 201141010 directly provides a ridge 1 to the wire passage. Although the wire passage is provided, the axial thickness of the stator segment is along The circumference is generally odd, thus reducing any variation in the compaction ratio of the compacted component. When both stator core segments have a wire passage, a wire passage is provided on each side of the coil 20 in the assembled stator. Therefore, when the connecting wires 321 are radially guided along the coils on the respective axial sides of the coil, the connecting wires can be placed inside one of the wire channels. Each stator core section 14 further has an index projection 432 that projects axially from the inner side 535 of the stator core section 14 toward the other stator section. The index projection 432 is provided as part of the flange 434, i.e., more axially convex than the remainder of the flange. The axial dimension and shape of the index protrusion 432 are selected such that the index protrusion can be inserted into the wire channel 431 of the respective other stator core segment of the assembled stator, but the index is convex The object extends only into a portion of the depth of the wire channel of the other stator core segment, thereby leaving a path for a connecting wire 321 between the index projection and the bottom of the wire channel. In general, the depth of the wire passage and the height of the index projection match the thickness of the connecting wires. The circumferential position of the index protrusion 432 relative to the wire channel 43 1 is selected such that the index protrusion can be inserted into the wire of the other stator core segment when the stator core segments are assembled with each other The passage, thereby positioning the stator teeth 1 〇 2 in a desired circumference relative to the other stator core section. The index protrusion 432 can be positioned proximate to the wire channel, such as directly adjacent to the wire channel (as shown in Figures 3-7), thus facilitating the assembly of 152806.doc • 20-201141010 including integers complete Block one coil. However, it should be understood that the & t protrusion and the wire channel can be placed at any circumferential position as long as the pitch between the stator segments is defined relative to the pitch between the teeth The circumferential position difference of the pole pitch is the "v" of the pitch. This may be useful when it is desired to allow partial winding turns (e.g., in low voltage applications where the wire thickness is large and the number of resistances is low). The index protrusion may be positioned to be radially offset from the flange, that is, the index protrusion may protrude from the annular disk. However, because the relative depth of the wire channel is at the protrusion The larger of the area provides a higher index bulge' while still allowing one of the connecting wires to pass. This allows for a more precise and robust fit of the index bulge with the wire channel. The index projections are provided to engage the wire passages, with the complex features of the lesser core segments promoting circumferential alignment and efficient assembly of the one of the stator core segments.
