Definitions
- An eddy-current motor for driving the drum or basket of a washing or dry cleaning machine has a disc rotor coupled to the drum and a stator having a plurality of rod-shaped electromagnets whose windings are functionally interconnected in groups, each group defining a different number of poles so that the drum may be rotated at different speeds.
- Known automatic washing and dry cleaning machines typically include'a rotatably mounted drum or basket in which the clothes to be cleaned are placed during operationof the machine.
- Means are provided to rotate the basket during the cleaning and drying cycles and such means may comprise an ac. motor or, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,194,032 which issued July 13, 19.65 to .l. W. Von Brimer, an eddy-current linear actuator motor may be used.
- the eddycurrent motor comprises a disc-shaped rotor mounted to the. basket for simultaneous rotation therewith. More specifically the rotor comprises an induction disc of non-magnetic, electrically conductive material in intimate contact with a yoke disc of ferromagnetic material.
- a stator having a plurality of poles each comprising a plurality of electro-magnetic windings is positioned adjacent the rotor in such a position as to induce eddy-currents in the rotor.
- the windings are arranged in groups and means are provided to vary the number of poles in each group.
- the stator when the groups of windings are supplied with alternating current of differing phases the stator generates pulsating, phase-shifted magnetic fields offset circumferentially relative to the rotor.
- the superposition of the pulsating magnetic 1 fields results in a rotating, travelling field which causes the rotor to turn, by induction.
- the speed at which the rotor rotates depends upon the speed of the travelling magnetic field which, in turn, depends on the number of poles per group of windings about the circumference of the rotor. By varying thenumber of poles in each group of windings the rotation speed of the rotor may be changed. This is particularly important in washing and dry-cleaning machines which require a relatively low speed for washing and a higher speed for spinning and drying.
- the stator of machines such as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,194,032 is provided with a plurality of laminations having notches into which the conductors of the winding groups are placed.
- This technique well known in the electric'motor industry, permits the rated current to flow in each winding group when the stator is rotating at the rated speed.
- the rated current is, of course, substantially smaller than the current which flows when the rotor is held stationary.
- stator Because of the complex, and therefore expensive, shapeof the stator laminations, the stator must be dimensioned sparingly for its current carrying ability.
- the conductors of the several groups of windings must be placed in the notches of the laminations in such a manner that conductors placedin the same notch must all conduct current in the same direction.
- the circuitry required to establish the several groups of windings becomes exceedingly complex and expensive. This is particularly true if the windings are to be arranged so that the number of poles in each group may be selectively altered.
- this object is attained by making the pole windings rod magnets each comprising an electromagnetic winding wound on a soft iron core.
- the iron cores have first pole ends positioned proximate the induction disc and second pole ends abuttingly engaging a soft iron yoke.
- the iron cores which comprise the groups of windings of differing pole numbers are radially spaced at different dis- 7 tances from the axis of rotation of the rotor.
- the energizing current may be switched on or off at any rotary speed between zero and rated speed without any special safety precautions for avoiding overloads in the stator windings. Because of the high moment of inertia of the basket, it is sufficient to provide two limiting values of rotary speed and to monitor these speeds, for example, by a tachometer-generator mechanically switching the energizing current on and off when these limiting values are passed. It is thus unnecessary to provide speed control by means of thyristors or the like, which are expensive at the relatively high current levels involved.
- the basket drive of this invention is, therefore, particularly suited for washing and dry cleaning machines which require rotary speed ranges to be maintained during the washing cycle as well as the spinning cycle.
- the direction of rotation may be changed, if desired, for example, by interchanging the phases of the two groups of windings to reverse the direction of the rotating travelling field. Because the rated current and the current with a stalled basket are of the same order of magnitude, the basket drive according to the invention may be used to brake the rotating basket. The mechanical brakes heretofore employed with such machines may therefore be omitted. Because the size limitations imposed on eddy-current motors of the type disclosed in US. Pat. No. 3,194,032 are not present in the instant invention, cooling the rotorpresents no special problem.
- a rod magnet motor according to this invention decreases with decreased spacing of the soft iron cores from the rotor axis
- an embodiment has been found advantageous in which, if the number of poles in each group of windings is different, the group having the smallest number of poles is positioned closest to the axis of rotation.
- another embodiment of the invention includes a rotor having two induction discs on either side of a common yoke disc.
- the pole magnets are rod magnets wound on soft iron cores, and the cores associated with one group of windings comprising a first number of poles are on one side of the rotor while the other group of windings comprising a second number of poles are on the other side of the rotor.
- first pole ends of the cores are positioned proximate their respective induction discs whilethesecond pole ends engage a soft iron yoke.
- the soft'iron cores on both sides of the rotor are equidistant from the axis of rotation.
- the soft iron cores are positioned at equal distances from adjacent cores associated with the same group of windings.
- the cores are also positioned at equal distances from adjacent iron cores associated with groups of windings of equal numbers of poles. This embodiment is distinguished by a greatly improved freedom from vibration of the rotor, particularly when the cores are circumferentially distributed about the rotor.
- the induction disc, yoke disc and/or the soft iron yoke When the cores are located relatively far from the axis of rotation, it is mechanically advantageous to make the induction disc, yoke disc and/or the soft iron yoke similar in shape and to give them a radial width substantially equal to the radial dimensions of the pole ends of the soft iron cores.
- the yoke disc In order to reduce iron losses it is advantageous to make the yoke disc. soft iron yoke and/or the soft iron cores laminar, conventional transformer laminations being suitable. When the yoke disc and/or the soft iron yoke are annular, they may be formed by winding a ribbon of transformer lamination.
- the shape of the fundamental magnetic wave may be improved by providing the pole ends of the iron cores which are adjacent the induction disc with pole pieces which reduce the air gap between pole ends of adjacent iron cores, in the direction of the rotor circumference. This expedient improves the torque and such pole pieces have an approximately trapezoidal cross-section parallel to the induction disc.
- the windings of the rod magnets in a given group may be connected in series or in parallel, but a series connection is preferred.
- two rod windings of one group are separated from each other by a rod winding from each of the other groups.
- all rod windings will contribute to the total flux, and the flux of one winding will not cancel that of another.
- the machine In order to prevent sealing problems with respect to any fluid which may be present in the drum, it is preferred to construct the machine in such a manner that the eddy-current rotor is mounted within the machine housing. This is entirely possible with the instant invention because the rotor requires little space and thus, does not significantly increase the volume of the housing. Keeping the housing volume low is important, particularly, in dry cleaning machines, because of the unavoidable loss of solvent vapor which occurs each time the housing is opened, such losses being directly porportional to the housing volume.
- the electromagnets need not be encapsulated if the magnets are positioned at least partly, outside of the machine housing.
- the electromagnets are provided with pole pieces which pass through the housing and form a portion of the housing wall, the pole pieces may be positioned close to the rotor, thereby enhancing the induction effect.
