TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to a core-less direct-current motor which is used as
a power source for every industrial machine or apparatus necessitating a
flat shape, particularly also necessitating a high speed and a high
torque.
BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY
We disclosed our inventions on a flat core-less direct-current motor
through the Patent Gazettes of Tokukosho No. 58-26263 and Tokukosho No.
58-26264.
A strong point of the core-less direct-current motor is that it can be
shaped in a flat shape, therefore it can be used in a big industrial field
as mentioned above and said that it is a very useful motor.
On the other hand, its output torque is small and approximately a third of
that of a cored direct-current motor of the same volume. In order to
increase its output torque, the number of turns of its coil may be
increased on condition that its coil material is thinner, but such a coil
lowers its power efficiency. It is a problem. The space for the winding of
the core-less direct-current motor must be small because to enlarge the
space makes the axial length of a gap between the magnetic poles and the
armature longer resulting in reducing magnetic field and decreasing the
output torque.
A flat brushless and core-less direct-current motor is well-known itself,
and used as a power source for a flexible disk, a hard disk and the
others, but there are the following problems to be solved.
The first problem is that a mild steel plate or a silicon steel plate whose
iron loss and copper loss are high are used as a magnetic body to be
attached to the rear surfaces of the fan-shaped armature coils of the
motor so that the magnetic flux from the poles of magnetic rotor of the
motor which penetrates the said armature coils may close its magnetic path
at the said magnetic body.
Consequently the maximum allowable speed of such a motor is approximately
600 rpm and its power efficiency is low resulting in narrowing its
applicable field.
Because of its high speed, its output torque is reduced without the
magnetic body, so it is used only in the limited special field.
The second one is that its power efficiency is low by the above-mentioned
reason.
The third one is that its structure is apt to be unsuitable for a mass
production because of its flatness.
Thus the purpose of this invention is to supply people with a core-less
direct-current motor of high output torque, high speed, high power
efficiency which is suitable for a mass production.

stationary armature so that it may rotate freely and fixed to the said
magnetic rotor whose pole surface faces the said armature coil surface
with a small gap therebetween.
The included angle constituted by each of the coil portions of the
fan-shaped armature coils of a conventional core-less direct-current motor
effective for producing a torque is 180 degrees in electrical angle as
shown in broken lines B and C in FIG. 3, so the coil breadth is small as
shown in a broken line 2c-3 in FIG. 3.
According to this invention, the coil is about two times wider than the
conventional one as shown in a coil 2c in FIG. 3.
The conventional coil breadth is shown in F.
On the other hand, the coil breadth related to this invention is shown in
E.
According to this invention, the space which the coil occupies is about two
times larger than the conventional one.
Therefore the output torque related to this invention becomes about two
times higher than the conventional one keeping a high power efficiency. It
is an action of this invention.
In this invention, the winding type of the coils is alignment winding and
the outside portions of each adjacent two of 6 coils are kept in contact
with each other as shown in FIG. 3.
Therefore plastic can be charged easily into the space necessary for
forming a disk-shaped armature by an injection machine.
It is a strong point of this invention.
The included angle constituted by each of the coil portions effective for
producing a torque may as well exceed 180 degrees.
It is (180+60) degrees in electrical angle in this working example.
Therefore the outside surface of the conductive body constituting a coil
tilts by about 10 degrees in mechanical angle from a radial broken line B
or C.
As a result, the torque it produces is reduced a little, but it is no
problem because it is negligible.
A magnetic body is attached to the rear surfaces of the armature coils as a
means for closing the passage of the magnetic flux from the poles of a
magnetic rotor.
It is made by a process in which a silicon steel plate is thinned so as to
be about 50 microns in thickness followed by being coiled spirally by
rolls.
Adhesive agent is coated on its surface and stiffened thereafter.
Next, it is cut into plural rings of a few millimeters in length.
Thus a magnetic ring is completed.
Such a magnetic ring is attached to the rear surfaces of the armature coils
to make a magnetic path and plastic is charged into a metal mold including
them to form a stationary armature with them buried in it.
Accordingly its iron loss is lowered remarkably while its power efficiency
and speed are kept high.
Thus the first problem is resolved.
A casing to which the stationary armature is fixed is made of mild steel.
The central portion of a mild steel disk is fixed to a shaft and the
magnetic ring is attached to it.
The magnetic ring surface which constitutes a magnetic path faces the
outside surface of the casing with a small gap therebetween.
The magnetic ring is magnetized in N pole on one side and in S pole on the
other.
As clarified from the constitution mentioned above, a magnetic absorption
force produced between the magnetic rotor and the magnetic body acts
opposite to the other magnetic absorption force produced between the
casing and the magnetic ring resulting in the reduction of the axial load
of a bearing of the shaft.
Thus the second problem can be solved.
A means for making a magnetic ring by cutting a silicon steel plate coiled
spirally using a cutter is shown in FIG. 23 and FIG. 24 which are
explained in detail later.
It enables a mass production of thin magnetic rings.
The assembly of the magnetic ring and the armature coils and plastic
charged into a metal mold including the assembly by a plastic injection
machine followed by the removal of the metal mold constitute a flat
stationary armature.
Thus a flat motor suitable for a mass production is realized.
The stationary armature is shaped in a disk-like body in which the armature
coils and the magnetic ring forming a passage of the magnetic flux are
buried through a plastic injection process.
The first printed board is fixed to the upper surface or the rear surface
of the armature coils if necessary before plastic is injected.
The second printed board is also fixed to the lower surface of the
stationary armature thereat.
The necessary terminals of the second printed board are connected with the
input and the output terminals of the armature coil of the first printed
board and the other elements.
Thus the stationary armature is structured.
Bearings for the magnetic rotor are set in the stationary armature.
Such a structure enables flattening and a mass production and the third
problem can be solved.
As described above, the output torque of a flat core-less direct-current
motor related to this invention is two or more times higher than the
conventional one though the volume of the former | | |
