AI Technical Summary
Asynchronous machines with a short-closed rotor suffer from electrical losses and increased mass-body characteristics due to the presence of frontal parts of the stator winding.
The design of an electric machine with a rotor having a non-magnetic shaft and two magnetic circuits with short-closed windings, along with a stator made of non-magnetic material containing separate magnetic circuits with windings wound in a transverse direction, reduces the number of air gaps and associated losses.
This configuration reduces power consumption, magnetic losses, and mechanical losses, while increasing the starting moment, reducing starting current, and improving the reliability and durability of the electric machine.

Description
Electric machine (options)
[0001] The group of inventions relates to electrical engineering and can be used to convert electrical energy.
[0002] A three-phase asynchronous motor is known from the prior art, comprising a housing with a stator and a rotor on a shaft mounted on supports in the side shields of the housing (Electrical Engineering: textbook / Yu. M. Borisov, D. N. Lipatov, Yu. N. Zorin. - 3rd ed., stereotyped. - St. Petersburg: BHV-Petersburg, 2012. - 592 p: ill., Fig. 10.1, p. 426).
[0003] In addition, an asynchronous machine with a squirrel-cage rotor is known from the prior art, consisting of a shaft and a magnetic circuit, in the slots of which a non-insulated multiphase squirrel-cage winding is placed, while the asynchronous machine contains a stator, which consists of a magnetic circuit, a three-phase opposite-pole winding, bearing shields and a housing in which the squirrel-cage rotor, stator and bearing shields are placed (Ivanov-Smolensky A.V. Electrical Machines. In 2 volumes. Volume 1: Textbook for universities. - 2nd ed., revised and enlarged. Moscow: MPEI Publishing House, 2004. Pp. 470-475).
[0004] Also, an electric motor is known from the prior art according to patent RU No. 2565753 C1, IPC H02K 5 / 167, H02K 7 / 08, F16C 25 / 04, F16C 27 / 00, published 20.10.2015, which includes a housing with a stator and a rotor on a shaft mounted on supports in the side shields of the housing, wherein one of the supports is made in the form of an elastic mounting ring, and the other in the form of a self-aligning bearing.
[0005] A disadvantage of the design of asynchronous machines with a squirrel-cage rotor is the presence of frontal parts of the stator winding, which are associated with electrical losses and an increase in the mass and size characteristics of the electric machine. The above-mentioned frontal parts work passively and are only necessary to collect the required number of ampere-turns of the working part of the winding, located in the slots of the stator magnetic circuit.
[0006] To understand the essence of the claimed invention, it is necessary to explain that the classic asynchronous electric machine 2p=2 has not one air gap between the stator and the rotor, but two air gaps, since the opposing electromagnetic fields of the coils of the same phases divide the stator and rotor into two halves.
[0007] In the claimed electric machine, the coils of the magnetic cores of the same phases create an electromagnetic field of one direction, therefore, between the magnetic cores of the stator and each of the rotors there is only one air gap. Consequently, with equal induced power in the rotor of a classic asynchronous electric machine and in two rotors of the claimed electric machine, the losses in the air gaps are equal.
[0008] The first embodiment of the claimed device according to paragraph 1 of the formula provides for the design of an electric machine, including a rotor with a non-magnetic shaft, on which two magnetic cores with short-circuited windings of the "squirrel cage" type are installed. In addition, the electric machine according to the first embodiment includes a stator made of a non-magnetic material, which is also the body of the electric machine, wherein the stator contains at least two pairs of separate magnetic cores containing a winding wound in the transverse direction relative to the axis of the electric machine, and the bearing shields are made of a non-magnetic material or of a magnetic material, but with an air gap.
[0009] The second embodiment of the claimed device according to paragraph 2 of the formula provides for the design of an electric machine, including a rotor with a non-magnetic shaft, on which two anchors with permanent magnets are installed. In addition, the electric machine according to the second embodiment includes a stator made of a non-magnetic material, which is also the body of the electric machine, wherein the stator contains at least two pairs of separate magnetic circuits containing a winding wound in the transverse direction relative to the axis of the electric machine, and the bearing shields are made of a non-magnetic material or of a magnetic material, but with an air gap.
[0010] The third embodiment of the claimed device according to paragraph 3 of the formula provides for the design of an electric machine, including a rotor with a non-magnetic shaft, on which two magnetic cores with windings and slip rings are installed. In addition, the electric machine according to the third embodiment includes a stator made of a non-magnetic material, which is also the body of the electric machine, wherein the stator contains at least two pairs of separate magnetic cores containing a winding wound in the transverse direction relative to the axis of the electric machine, and the bearing shields are made of a non-magnetic material or of a magnetic material, but with an air gap.
[0011] The technical results achieved through the use of the claimed device according to points 1, 2, 3 of the invention formula are:
[0012] 1. reduction of the consumed power of an electric machine without reducing the electromagnetic power;
[0013] 2. reduction of magnetic losses of the electric machine;

[0059] Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 4 show embodiments of an electric machine having a non-magnetic rotor shaft 5 with two magnetic cores 6 with short-circuited squirrel-cage type windings installed on it.
[0060] Fig. 5, Fig. 6 show embodiments of an electric machine with rotors having an inductive winding 9 and a control unit 10 located on the shaft of the rotor 5 of the electric machine. The control unit 10 short-circuits the windings 9 or opens them depending on the operating mode of the electric machine. With an open winding 9, the electric machine operates as a synchronous reactive motor. With a closed winding 9 of the rotor, the electric machine operates as a synchronous motor. The rotors are transformed into permanent electromagnets fed by the electric field of the stator.
[0061] Fig. 7, Fig. 8 show embodiments of an electric machine with rotors having two windings: one winding of the "squirrel cage" type and the second - an inductive winding. The winding of the "squirrel cage" type can be double, external and internal, or external with recessed rods. The inductive winding operates with the control unit 10, located on the shaft of the rotor 5 of the electric machine.
[0062] When the inductive winding of the rotors is open, the machine operates in asynchronous mode. When the winding is closed, it operates in synchronous mode. In this case, the winding, made according to the "squirrel cage" type, serves as a damper winding.
[0063] In the synchronous mode, the rotors are permanent electromagnets excited by the electromagnetic field of the stator. The design of the stator 1 allows this to be done, since the positive and negative half-periods of the phases are strictly sequential, feeding the inductive winding of the rotor (there are no counter electromagnetic fields). The magnetic cores of the rotor 6 after thickening around the shaft 5 have an angle of inclination from 0 to 45° relative to the axis of the shaft 5 of the electric machine and the magnetic core of the stator 4, or the magnetic cores of the stator 4 themselves have this angle.
[0064] The rods 7 of the winding, made according to the “squirrel cage” type, are straight, parallel to the magnetic circuit 6.
[0065] In the synchronous operating mode, it is possible to regulate the power of the electric machine by changing the circuits of the windings of the stator magnetic circuit 3 and the rotor winding 9 (Fig. 6, Fig. 8, Fig. 12).

[0075] Fig. 25 shows a general view of the electric machine.
[0076] Fig. 26, Fig. 27 show diagrams of the series connection of pairs of magnetic circuit coils 4 of the stator 1 of the same phases.
