Method of expanding types of synchronous motors and synchronous motors produced by the method

Abstract

A method of expanding types of synchronous motors capable of reducing the number of required stator types to use stators in common, and a synchronous motor produced by the method. A group of stators are prepared by stacking stator cores of identical shape so that heights of the stators are different from one another to be multiples of a fundamental height. A plurality of groups of rotors are prepared so that lengths of the rotors in each group are different from one another to be multiples of a fundamental length. The rotors in each group are provided with permanent magnets having a residual magnetic flux density different from that of the permanent magnets of the rotors in the other groups. A stator and a rotor corresponding to a preset output torque specification value and a preset rotor inertia specification value are respectively selected from the group of stators and the rotor groups and are combined with each other, whereby an expanded type of motor is obtained.

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a method of expanding types of synchronous motors to obtain synchronous motors having different specification values with respect to torque and / or inertia, and synchronous motors produced by the method.[0002] As an alternating-current motor, there is known a synchronous motor comprising a rotor having permanent magnets therein and a stator having windings thereon. In setting types of synchronous motors, motor characteristics of torque and rotor inertia are determined to have different specification values in series of motors, to thereby obtain expanded types of synchronous motors.[0003] There are defined a variety of series such as a standard series having standard specification values of torque and rotor inertia, a low-inertia series having a small rotor inertia specification value relative to the torque specification value, and a high-torque series having a large torque specification value relative to the rotor inertia specification value, a...

Problems solved by technology

Accordingly, to construct a series of synchronous motors using a group of stators having the same sectional shape but different stack lengths, as many stator types as the rotor types are required, giving rise to a problem that a large number of types of stators are needed.

The conventional method for expanding synchronous motor types also has a problem that when the...
