AI Technical Summary
Existing brushless motors struggle to maintain consistent torque during stopping and starting, especially when dealing with materials like fabric that require tension compensation, and they lack the ability to absorb slack or reverse direction operation.
The motor is designed with star-connected windings and a neutral point, allowing control over stopping torque and enabling idling or reverse rotation based on external forces, with phase coils shifted at different angles to stabilize torque variations.
The solution provides stable stopping torque and the ability to absorb slack or reverse direction operation, mimicking powder brake functionality, thus enhancing fabric processing efficiency.

Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] In addition to limiting the forward and reverse speed and torque, this brushless motor also has a function that allows it to vary the stopping torque and spin freely when an external force is applied when stopped.
[0002] In order to use the motor to reduce or wind up rolled materials, the motor is equipped with a torque adjustment function when it is stopped as well as when it is rotating, making it possible to idle passively when stopped by an external force. Summary of the Invention Problems that the invention aims to solve
[0003] When placed in equipment that reduces, processes, and winds up rolled material, it is possible to wind up the material at a constant torque using a motor, but reducing the material is difficult because the motor's work is rotation, and although powder brakes or electromagnetic brakes are usually used, they are unable to absorb the slack. The brushless motor with torque brake controls the torque when stopped, and when an external force is applied, it idles to reduce the amount of fabric, and if necessary, it rotates in the reverse direction to absorb slack. Also, if an external force exceeding the stopping torque is applied, it rotates in the forward direction to forcibly feed the fabric, eliminating the need for a tension compensation function between the amount of fabric and the processing equipment.
[0004] To increase the stopping torque, the motor windings are star-connected and the neutral point and the UVW phases are aligned to control the torque, which makes it possible to increase the stopping torque more than a normal motor. In permanent magnet motors, multiple motors are connected with their angles shifted, reducing variations in stopping torque due to the stopping angle that arises from the polarity of the stator and the polarity of the rotor, and smoothing out idling caused by external forces.
[0005] By increasing the motor's stopping torque and smoothing out variations in stopping torque due to the stopping angle, braking characteristics similar to those of a powder brake can be obtained. Also, by operating as a motor, various controls such as absorbing slack and forced feeding become possible. When reducing rice yields through intermittent operation, it is necessary to rapidly attenuate the external force, so this can be achieved by using it in combination with patent pending idos3188134.
