Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a dynamo-electric machine which uses a permanent magnet for field system, and particularly to a method and a dynamo-electric machine for performing the drive and regeneration in a carrier system or transport system. [0002] In a permanent magnet field type dynamo-electric machine of the prior art, an induced electromotive force E is determined by a constant magnetic flux Φ generated by a permanent magnet arranged in a rotor and a rotating angular speed ω of the dynamo-electric machine. That is, when the rotating angular speed ω (rotating speed) of the dynamo-electric machine is increased, the induced electromotive force is proportionally increased. [0003] Accordingly, high torque can be obtained in a low-speed range, but operation in a high-speed range is difficult because the variable range of rotating speed is narrow. Therefore, it may be considered that the high-speed operation range is widened using a field weake...

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a dynamo-electric machine that can weaken the magnetic flux generated by permanent magnets using a simple structure. The machine has a stator with a primary winding and a rotor with a field magnet and a shaft. The field magnet has different polarity magnetic poles arranged in a rotation direction. The machine also has a mechanism for shifting the field magnets in axial and rotation directions to change the resultant magnetic field. This allows for high torque at low speeds and high power at high speeds. The invention also includes a transport system comprising the dynamo-electric machine and a truck powered by the machine. The system has a current collector and a power converter for controlling the electric power of the machine.

Problems solved by technology

Accordingly, high torque can be obtained in a low-speed range, but operation in a high-speed range is difficult because the variable range of rotating speed is narrow.

The method of widening the high speed operation range using the field weakening control technology described above has limitations of heat generation and efficiency decrease due to weakening field current.

Further, the structure of the spring and the governor becomes complex in the method disclosed in the Japanese Patent Application No. 2000-155262.
