invention relates to magnetos and particularly to magnetos of the type employing a permanent magnet rotor.
One object of my invention 1s to produce a magneto in which the over-all length of the rotor may be reduced, while for the same length of rotor a much stronger magnetic field may be obtained. ,f" Another, object is to provide a short efii- 1.5.0 cient rotor which may be assembled in fixed permanent form without bolts, screws or welding.
Still another obj'gct is to produce a rotor which may be constructed almost entirely of non-annealed steel, and in which parts may be magnetized efiiciently after the rotor is assembled.
Other objects include the production of a specialstator structure which is adapted to operate efiicientl with short rotors such as are contemplate by my invention; special pole piece structure aiming toward obtaining eflicient magnetic circuits, and numerous other objects and advantages which will be apparent to those skilled in the art, from a reading of the following specification in conunction with the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of one form of assembled rotor embodying my invention.
Figure 2 is a section on line 22 of Figure 1.
Figures 3 and 4 are sections taken on lines 33 and 44, respectively, of Figure 2. Figure 5 is a fragmentary section taken on line 5-5 of Figure 3.
Figure 6 is a vertical longitudinal section of one form of magneto embodying my invention, the section showing the relation between the rotor and stator pole pieces.
Figure 7 is a view partly in elevation, and partly diagrammatic showing the relation between the rotor and stator parts after they are assembled; and
Figure 8 is an enlarged detail view of a portion of the stator laminated structure.
Referring to Figure 2 of the drawings the reference character 11 designates a shaft, hav-' ing a shoulder 12 adjacent one end, a threaded portion 13 near the other end, and the usual tapered and threaded drive-end portion beyond the thread 13. Threaded over the shaft 11 and secured thereon, as by keys 14, are two non-magnetic disks or end- plates 15 and 16.. The disk 15 is imperforate, except for the shaft opening, while disk 16 contains a'plural ity of perforations or openings 17 at spaced intervals.
In contacting relation and coaxially with the disk 15, are a permanent magnet plate 18, and a non-magnetic supporting plate 19, both of which are keyed to shaft 11 by the same key that holds disk 15. The supporting plate 19 is locked to plate 18 by overhanging lugs 21 (see Figures 3 and 5) and contains perforations 22 which are in line with the perforations 17 in plate 16.
The plate 19 and disk 16 support bar magnets 23, here shown as of cylindrical form but this, while preferred, is not essential. These bar magnets abut the permanent magnet plate 18 at one end of the rotor so as to form a continuation of the magnetic circuit of this magnet, while at the other end they fit into and pass through the'perforations 17 in disk 16. i
The magnets 23 carry laminated polepieces 24 and-24 made up'ofthin iron or steel plates. Pole piece 24 surrounds the like poles of two of the magnets 23, while pole piece 24 surrounds the opposite poles of the two opposite magnets 23. Obviously each pole shoe must connect like poles in each instance and, although I have shown a two-pole structuremy invention is applicable to other arrangements.
The pole shoes 24 and 24 may contact with disk 16, but ordinarily the length of these shoes will be less than that of the magnets between plate 19 and disk 16. In such a case I provide sleeves 25 about each bar and which fill the space between the pole piecesand the plate 19. Consequently when disks 15 and 16 are drawn together the sleeves and pole pieces are compressed into a rigid fixed assembly. As here shown a gear 26 is also keyed to shaft 11 and the whole assembly is secured to the shaft .11 by a nut 27 engaging thread 13 and preferably seating in a socket 28 in the space of gear 26. In this way the entire rotor structure is held between shoulder 12 and nut The result of this arrangement is to pro- 27, and the bar magnets are accurately supduce a strong efiicient structure in which the ported in spaced relation in the perforations flux concentration is increased and the secof late 19 and disk 16. ondary voltage generated, therefore, also in- H he over-all length of the rotor is small creased.
