Abstract:
A method of increasing the power output of existing permanent magnet motors along with apparatus is disclosed. Increased power output is achieved by more completely utilizing the magnetic field of motor permanent magnets during running. The apparatus is external to the motor and therefore eliminates the need for modifications to the motor itself. The method involves providing a source of power to a permanent magnet motor which is capable of demagnetizing the motor permanent magnets at stall, and reducing the power at start up to a level sufficient to prevent demagnetization. Full power to the motor is provided when the motor speed reaches a level sufficient to prevent demagnetization of the permanent magnets.
Abstract:
A high power low RPM direct current electric motor is disclosed whereby the high power output is achieved in one of two ways or both. In the first case, the need for cooling is reduced simultaneously along with an increase in the utilization of the magnetic field present in the motor permanent magnets. This is achieved by wrapping the electromagnet core with windings that are capable of demagnetizing the rotor permanent magnets under stall conditions. Interlocking motor circuitry is provided which prevents the full activation of these motor windings until motor RPM values reach a safe level. This increases motor power while decreasing resistive losses in electromagnet windings. In the second case, the rotary portion consists of a large diameter relatively flat rotor containing permanent magnets and having built in vanes for moving air over the electromagnet stator windings providing forced air cooling.
Abstract:
An index signal is used for assuring media for use in a floppy disk drive to be exchangeable with each other. While the signal is output once for each rotation of a spindle motor, since the signal generation is carried out in a non-contact manner with rotating members including the medium, a hole sensor or the like has been previously used. However, such a hole sensor is expensive and fragile under temperature and mechanical stress. A pulse generator has been proposed, in which the rotor magnet is provided with magnets having unequally allocated angles and disposed all along a circumference and a stator coil and is disposed so as to match with the rotor magnet to have a pulse generated once for each rotation. However, the generated signal has, been poor in its S/N characteristic. It is an object of the invention to overcome the difficulties and provide a pulse generator that is highly reliable and excellent in the S/N characteristic with the manner of allocation of angles for the rotor magnet improved. A rotor assembly having a permanent magnet with a plurality, i.e., M pieces, of magnetic poles of opposite polarities to each other alternately disposed in a circumferential direction and a stator assembly having a plurality of stator coils disposed in confronting and coaxial relationship with rotor assembly, at least one set of the magnetic poles are set to have equally allocated angles from the center of the shaft. The remaining magnetic poles are set to have unequally allocated angles. The stator coils electromagnetically match the rotor assembly only once for each rotation thereof and a very large pulse is generated. In addition, a waveform with a satisfactory S/N characteristic can be obtained.
