Description

AN AXIAL ELECTRIC MOTOR OPERATING UPON MOUNTED INTO A WHEEL
Subject Matter of the Invention
The subject of the invention is a compact, in-wheel rim, torus type, brushless and axial electric motor having high torque and power values.
State of the Art
Today' s electric motors are generally used for propulsion of systems, and developed in different types and features. In industrial applications, due to their advantages such as providing high efficiency and power density, brushless direct current motors are being used quite considerably.
In brushless direct current motors, there are semiconductor circuit components performing the task of switching high current, and an electronic controller provided with a microcontroller providing the relative timing for switching.
In the state of art, the controller for the continuity of motor rotation and the torque control controls the motor in a precise way. The controller performs this operation by using the hall effect sensors. Speed control can be achieved by adjusting the torque values by the controller. Thanks to being brushless, these types of motors in which the friction effect is minimized have high efficiency. They can operate silently in high speed. They do not have the problems such as arching and producing carbon dust. Due to not having the risk of ignition, they are suitable for use in gaseous industrial zones having explosion hazard. Their power density is high. Furthermore, they allow the development of compact designs. There is almost no need for maintenance. In numerous different countries across the world, there are many brushless direct current motors with different powers and models, marketed by different manufacturers.
In the invention according to the patent document US2018/0026500A1 of the state of the art, the magnets placed on two sides of stator are fixed to the rotor. The coils on the stator are between these two permanent magnets. The outer body is fixed. Within the body, motor performs its rotor rotational motion. However, this is not favourable for an in wheel direct drive application. It is rather developed for hybrid systems in which a power train is needed.
Patent documents EP2451059B1 and US009862264B2 can be cited as other examples. Said documents relate to the in-wheel direct drive electric motors developed for cars and other vehicles. In these patents, the wheel can be directly driven by mounting the motor block into the wheel rim. A stator, a rotor plate, a rotor pipe, a seat system and a brake system are mounted into the wheel rim by means of a simple mechanical connection. The motor used in the wheel rim has a radial structure rather than an axial structure.
As another example, the patent document WO2018/015293A1 relates to the axial flux electric machines. More particularly, it relates to a stator for an axial flux electric machine and a method for producing the same. The invention comprises an axial flux motor cover, a plurality of long sections and a stator consisting of a plurality of separate radially extending and sticking out ferromagnetic materials, an electrically insulant filler. The outer body is fixed. Within the body, rotor performs rotational motion. However, this is not favourable for an in-wheel direct drive application. It is rather developed for hybrid systems in which a power train is needed. As mentioned in the above documents, electric motors in the art are generally divided into two groups: out-wheel axial type motors and in-wheel radial type motors. The aforementioned technical documents are insufficient in terms of developing powerful axial type electric motors mounted in a wheel, and unable to satisfy this need. The radial type motors used in wheels are known to be less powerful.
There are some electric motors developed as a solution for this problem, and are explained below.
Non-patent document "Optimal design and control of axial-flux brushless dc wheel motor for electrical vehicles", relates to an axial flux, brushless, DC motor for electrical vehicles and control thereof. In the aforementioned document, an axial flux fixed magnet motor is developed to achieve a high torque/weight ratio and motor efficiency. It is suitable for direct driven wheel applications.
The invention according to the patent document US2012169154A relates to an axial flux brushless electric motor that can be used in various applications including driving a drive wheel of a vehicle. In an embodiment of the invention, the electric motor comprises a rotor comprising a plurality of permanent magnets defining a plurality of rotor poles. Electric motor also comprises a stator axially spaced from the rotor and at least one coil for conducting current; an electronic controller for controlling the current supplied to the at least one coil to rotate the rotor, and a consolidating material in which the at least one coil and the electronic controller are embedded.
The electric motors described in the above documents do not have all the features together such as having two rotors, being torus type, being brushless and having an axial flux motor to be mounted within the dead zone in the wheel rim of the electrical vehicles.
In order to overcome the aforementioned disadvantages, it is aimed to develop a compact brushless double rotor torus type axial electric motor which can operate without a powertrain by mounting to the dead area in the wheel rim and has high torque and power values. The double rotor and torus type structure of the invention allows to achieve a higher power density in unit area compared to both motor types.
