Solution Overview

Problem

Magnetic power generators face challenges in maintaining manufacturing efficiency while achieving high output and efficiency due to non-uniform salient pole intervals, leading to potential power generation imbalances and increased system costs.

Innovation Solution

A magnetic power generator design with salient poles having the same phase adjacently disposed in the circumferential direction, where the disposition angle between the front end portions of the same phase matches the pole arc angle of the permanent magnet, and the adjacent salient poles of different phases are disposed to maintain a uniform space, allowing for efficient coil winding and balanced power generation.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the pole configuration parameters to achieve a 16-pole 18-pole structure, where the disposition angle of front end portions of salient poles of the same phase is equal to or less than the pole arc angle of permanent magnets. This parameter optimization allows sufficient power generation with fewer magnetic poles, enabling the use of cost-effective thyristor type voltage regulators instead of expensive FET type regulators

AI summary

A magnetic power generator (1) includes a stator and a rotor. The stator includes a plurality of salient poles (14) made up of a magnetic path section (15) around which a coil is wound and a protrusion section (16) that protrudes toward both sides of a front end of the magnetic path section. A plurality of permanent magnets (6) are attached to the rotor to face the salient poles (14). The salient poles (14) having the same phase are adjacently disposed in the circumferential direction, and a coil having the same phase is wound in series around the adjacently disposed salient poles (14) having the same phase. A front end portion (17) made up of a front end part of the magnetic path section (15) and the protrusion section (16) is configured so that a disposition angle (θ2) between the front end sections (17) having the same phase is equal to or less than the pole arc angle (θp) of the permanent magnet (6), and is greater than the disposition angle of the adjacent front end sections (17) having different phases. The magnetic path section (15) in the salient pole (14) adjacent to the salient pole (14) having a different pole is disposed on the same phase side of the center line of the front end section (17) of the salient pole (14) adjacent to the salient pole (14) having a different pole.
