- the rotation shaft 308 is configured to be rotatable in the rotation direction of the rotor 310 (the direction of arrow E).
- the rotation shaft 308 is attached to the center of the stator yoke 306 so that the stator yoke 306 can rotate together with the rotation shaft 308.
- the cylindrical rotor 310 includes a rotor yoke 311 and a plurality of magnets 312.
- the rotor yoke 311 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and is configured to be rotatable together with the rotating shaft 290.
- Multiple magnets 312 are combined with multiple N-pole magnets 312.
- a number of S-pole magnets 312 are mounted on the inner peripheral surface of the rotor yoke 311. Further, in the plurality of magnets 312, N poles and S poles are alternately arranged at predetermined intervals along the circumferential direction of the cylindrical rotor yoke 311.
- the rotating electric machine 280 of the ninth embodiment when the first teeth 304 and the second teeth 307 face each other, Similarly, the rotor 310, the first stator 301, and the second stator 302 form a magnetic path.
- the distance between the first teeth 304 and the magnet 312 and the distance between the first teeth 304 and the second teeth 307 are determined. Is the air gap length that becomes the magnetic resistance to the magnetic path.
- the rotor 310 and the first stator 30 move in the same manner as in the eighth embodiment. 1 forms a magnetic path.
- the second tooth 307 moves to a position where it does not face the first tooth 304, the distance between the first tooth 304 and the magnet 312 and the distance between the adjacent first teeth 304 on the end surface 304a side are reduced. This is the air gap length that is the magnetic resistance to the magnetic path.
- the air gap length with respect to the magnetic path when the first teeth 304 and the second teeth 307 do not face each other is the same as in the eighth embodiment. It is larger than the air gap length with respect to the magnetic path when the 304 and the second teeth 307 face each other. That is, the amount of magnetic flux when the first teeth 304 and the second teeth 307 do not face each other is smaller than the amount of magnetic flux when the first teeth 304 and the second teeth 307 face each other.
- second stator 302 is held at the initial position without rotating. That is, the second teeth 307 are held so as to face the first teeth 304.
- the second stator 302 is rotated so that the second teeth 307 and the first teeth 304 do not face each other. 310 rotation direction (arrow (E direction).
- E direction the amount of magnetic flux in the state after rotating the second stator 302
- the amount of magnetic flux in the initial state before rotating the second stator 302 see FIG. 42. Therefore, the load on the rotation of the rotor 310 is reduced. This enables low-torque, high-speed rotation.
- the rotating electric machine 280 having the radial gap type structure by configuring as described above, in the rotating electric machine 280 having the radial gap type structure, by rotating the second stator 302 similarly to the eighth embodiment, The air gap length (magnetic flux amount) with respect to can be adjusted. As a result, as in the eighth embodiment, it is possible to obtain a rotating electric machine 280 capable of adjusting the power generation characteristics and the torque output characteristics that change depending on the amount of magnetic flux while reducing the size.
- the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to vehicles other than the motorcycle.
