Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical machine, the magnetic circuit of which comprises one or more permanent magnets, the rotor and the stator being arranged side by side in an axial direction, separated by an air gap, the direction of magnetisation of the magnet being parallel to the said axial direction and is characterised in that the magnet is shaped in the form of a disc and magnetized in the direction of the smallest dimension and is made of a material having a comparatively high coercive force and being substantially not demagnetisable, disc-shaped pole shoes of soft magnetic material being arranged in the axial direction at the side of the comparatively large pole surface of the magnet, the thickness of these pole shoes increasing preferably towards the winding, which is provided on a narrowed part between two pole shoes.
  • substantially not demagnetisable or substantially non-demagnetizable is to be understood to mean herein that, after having been removed from the magnetizing apparatus the magnet is substantially not demagnetized without the need of any precautions, such for example as the conventional measure of applying a short-circuiting circuit of soft iron between the north pole and the south pole prior to the removal, the magnet thus resuming substantially its working point Br (remanence), upon being included again subsequently in a closed iron circuit.
  • the aforesaid term is, moreover, to be understood to mean, more particularly, that no appreciable demagnetisation occurs, if two identical magnets are joined outside a magnetic circuit with their corresponding poles upon one another and then separated again from one another. Included in a closed soft-iron circuit the magnet will also in this case resume substantially its working point Br, which means that in a definite condition of loading a generator has a constant voltage and a motor a substantially constant speed of rotation.
  • the said materials fulfill, in general, the condition that the ratio remanence Br to coercive force BHC should be lower than 4, preferably lower than 2.
  • the aforesaid permanent-magnetic material has a BHmax value of O.7 1O
  • These materials consist primarily of non-cubic crystals of poly-oxides of Fe and at least one of the metals Ba, Sr, Pb, and, if necessary, Ca, more particularly, of simple and/or mixed crystals having the structure of portant.
  • magneto-plumbite of the composition Me'O.6Fe2O3, wherein Me designates one of the metals Pb, Ba or Sr.
  • these materials which do not contain C0 or Ni, are very im-
  • These materials have, moreover, a comparatively high resistance of at least 10 ohm-cm. for example, 3X10 ohm-cm., so that the machine may be particularly suitable for use with high frequencies, particularly if also the parts of weak magnetic material exhibit low losses.
  • a comparatively low BHmax value of, for example, 1x10 compared with the use of the known modern magnet rods, reasonable Weights are obtainable owing to the low specific weight.

  • Fig. 1c is a plan view of the soft magnetic portion of the construction illustrated in Fig. la;

  • Fig. 1 shows a machine according to the invention.
  • the magnets 1 and 2 of a material, which is substantially not demagnetisable, are shaped in the form of discs, magnetized in the direction of the smallest dimension 5, i. e., in their thickness direction, and seated on a shaft 6.
  • Parts 7 (Fig. 1b) of non-magnetic material may be provided between the two magnets.
  • the disc-shaped pole shoes 3 and 4 'of soft magnetic material the thickness of which (Fig. 1a) increases towards the winding 8.
  • the winding 8 is arranged on a narrowed part 9.
  • pole shoes 10 and 11 and a winding 12 are provided on the other side of the magnets, so that a double construction is obtained.
  • Use may be made of a rotatable arrangement of the magnets, or, as an alternative, of the pole shoes combinations or, as a further alternative, of both of them.
  • Fig. 2 shows the two pole shoe combinations combined with a single coil 13; four magnets 14 to 17 are provided on each side of the pole shoes. Owing to the greater quantity of magnet steel a higher output may be produced and the single coil yields advantages. In order to reduce the reluctance, use may be made of two plates 18 of soft magnetic material.
  • Fig. 3 shows four magnets 19 to 22 arranged in the same plane symmetrically about the shaft 6.
  • the frequency may be doubled at the same speed of rotation.
  • Fig. 4a is a side view and Fig. 4b a sectional view of an embodiment in which four pole shoes 23 to 26 are combined with four coils 27 to 30. This combination may also be arranged in a manner similar to that shown in Figs. 1 and 2 or be combined with a magnet system as shown in Fig. 3.
  • the soft magnetic material is a material having a high electrical resistance of preferably at least 10 ohm-cm, these machines are particularly suitable for use with high frequencies.
  • Fig. 5a is a plan view and Fig. 5b a lateral view of an embodiment differing from that shown in Fig. 4.
  • the windings 27 to 30 are also in this case partly countersunk and arranged, about an annular body 31.
  • Each winding embraces a core which is indicated in Fig. 5b by the broken lines 32.
  • the pole shoes provided between two successive windings, for example, between 29 and 30 become gradually thinner, starting from a core, up to the line 33, then they become thicker up to the next following core, which is shown in Fig. 5b.
  • the ring 31 may be made of concentrical laminations (if desired in the form of wound tape), as is shown in part in Fig. 5a and designated by 34. Consequently the flux enters and leaves the pole shoes at the side edges of the laminations and need not traverse the insulation between the laminations.
  • Figs. 6a and 6b are a plan view and a lateral view of a magnetic system comprising only one permanent magnet 35, the south poles 36 being made of soft magnetic material and having a plate-shaped part 37, which is adjacent the south pole of the magnet 35.

  • the high coercive force material consists essentially of non-cubic crystals having a magnetoplumbite structure and a formula MeO-GFezOs, where Me designates a metal selected from the group consisting of Pb, Ba and Sr, and the soft ferromagnetic member is constituted of material exhibiting an electrical resistance in excess of ohm-cm.
