AI Technical Summary
Existing small external rotation motors struggle to achieve high rotational torque without increasing their physical size or requiring a reducer.
A rotating cover made of magnetic material and a permanent magnet is installed on the outer periphery of a permanent magnet rotor, forming a magnetic torque converter to enhance torque output.
This configuration allows for increased start-up torque and high torque output at low speeds without increasing the motor's size, effectively converting the motor into a low-speed, high-torque external rotation hybrid motor.

Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] In order to increase the rotational torque of a small external rotation motor, a rotating cover (secondary wheel) made of magnetic material and having a permanent magnet is attached to the outer circumference (primary wheel) of the permanent magnet placed on the rotor, forming a torque converter that utilizes magnetic force, making it a torque converter external rotation hybrid motor with high torque at low speed. Technical background
[0002] To obtain high torque at low speed without equipping a small externally rotating motor with a reducer, the magnetic force of the permanent magnet on the externally rotating (primary wheel) is utilized, and a rotating cover (secondary wheel) made of magnetic material and having a permanent magnet is placed on the outer periphery of the rotor to form a magnetic torque converter. By rotating the rotor at high speed and rotating the cover (secondary wheel) made of magnetic material and having a permanent magnet, it is possible to increase the starting torque at low speed and high torque. Summary of the Invention Problems that the invention aims to solve
[0003] In order to make the external rotation motor low speed and high torque, the magnetic force of the permanent magnet of the rotor (primary wheel) is utilized, and a low speed and high torque external rotation motor with a magnetic torque converter is realized between the rotor (primary wheel) and the rotating cover (secondary wheel) made of magnetic material and having a permanent magnet.
[0004] The magnetic force of the permanent magnet of the rotor (primary wheel) of the external rotation motor is utilized, and a rotating cover (secondary wheel) made of a magnetic material and having a permanent magnet on the outer periphery is connected to the rotating shaft of the rotor with a bearing. In order to prevent the rotating cover from vibrating, the gap between the rotor and the rotating cover is narrowed and a rotating bearing made of Teflon or with a Teflon coating is inserted in between. Effects of the invention
[0005] By attaching a rotating cover (secondary wheel) made of magnetic material and equipped with a permanent magnet to the outer circumference of the rotor of an external rotation motor, a magnetic torque converter is formed. This makes it possible to generate high torque at low speed without significantly changing the physical size, making it possible to create a small external rotation motor that can replace an axial flow type geared motor.
