Definitions
- Electric motor with the rotor connected to the member that is to be rotated
- the present invention relates to electric motors comprising a rotor and a stator both contained in a frame and using electrical energy to rotate a member connected to them.
- the rotor of a motor of this type is integral with a coaxial shaft, to which it transmits the driving torque, and only one end of the shaft projects out of the frame.
- the inventor of the present innovation has provided a solution to this problem by devising a motor which, while comprising the same essential parts (rotor, stator and frame) as electric motors of known type, can be mounted in a very much more advantageous way owing to the particular arrangement of its parts and their connections .
- the electric motor according to the invention is characterized in that the rotor is connected in rotation to the said member, is hollow and its interior houses a shaft that acts as a support for the rotor, for the member and for the frame, the frame being connected by means of attachment to a structure that does not participate in the rotation of the said member .
- Figure 1 is a view in longitudinal section of a preferred embodiment of the electric motor according to the invention connected to the hub of a wheel in the case in which a part of the rotor is directly fixed to the hub, while Figure 2 shows the case in which this part is connected to the hub via intermediate speed- reducing gearing, and Figure 3 shows a longitudinal section through a spindle powered by the electric motor of the invention.
- the frame 3 is supported by a cylindrical shaft 5 via rolling bearings 10, 11.
- a rod 6 which may also be provided with joints or damping elastic supports (not shown) and the rod in turn is fixed to a part of the frame of the vehicle (not shown) on which the motor is installed.
- a stator 1 is made integral with the frame 3 by systems known to those skilled in the art, and its interior coaxially houses the stator 1, which is also of known type.
- the rotor 2 which also includes a suitably shaped part 2c projecting from the frame 3 where it is fixed to the hub 4 of a wheel of the vehicle, which is therefore integral with the rotor 2 in rotation.
- a support member 3a integral with the frame which may also be, as in the case depicted, a part of the frame 3 itself, so that the hub 4 can be clamped following interposition of the abovementioned rolling bears 10, 11 with suitable distance rings 17.
- Another rolling bearing 12 (or more than one to reduce the radial thickness from the same load) is inserted lastly between the rotor 2 and the support member 3a to enable the rotor 2 to be supported without preventing its relative rotation.
- the electric motor mounted on the shaft 5 which supports the member 3a and the frame 3 is compact and takes up very little space.
- the shaft 5 coupled to the electric motor in the embodiments according to the invention functions also as a member that connects and distributes the load between the wheels of one axle, while the rotation is transmitted to the wheels directly by the motors connected to them, it being obvious that one electric motor according to the invention can be fitted for each wheel, that is at both ends of the shaft, resulting in great functionality and ease of assembly and operation.
- Figure 2 shows a solution for those cases in which speed reduction is required between the motor and the wheel, that is to say that the wheel is to have a smaller angular velocity than the electric motor connected to it.
- stator 1 and rotor 2 are installed as already described in the previous case, but the part 2c of the rotor 2 projecting from the frame 3 is not now shaped in such a way as to be fixed to the hub 4, but instead includes a first ring gear 8 that meshes with a gear wheel 13 pivoted on a spindle 16 integral with the hub 4, this gearwheel 13 meshing in turn with a second ring gear 9 formed on the frame 3.
- Rotation of the said projecting part 2c of the rotor 2 and of its first ring gear 8 produces rotation of the gear wheel 13, which is connected to the hub 4, and its revolution about the shaft 5 along the second ring gear 9 with a speed of rotation equal to the speed of rotation of the rotor 2 divided by the ratio of the number of teeth of the second ring gear 9 to that of the first ring gear 8.
- the speed of rotation of the hub 4 is equal to the said speed of revolution of the gearwheel 13, and is therefore the required amount less than that of the rotor 2.
- FIG. 3 shows a spindle driven by an electric motor produced in accordance with the invention comprising a rotor 2' and a stator 1'.
- This type of application shows very clearly the above- described advantages provided by the invention, such as in particular the small size of the electric motor, and hence of course of the spindle itself, the outer casing of which acts as a frame 3'.
- the type of electric motor may be selected on the basis of the preferences of the designers, but the inventor suggests using an asynchronous motor supplied by a high-frequency converter.
