Abstract
Abstract A flat type rotary electric machine (20) has a flat stator armature coil (10) and two rotors (22a and 22b) having magnets disposed in opposite relationship to the coil. The flat coil is formed by an annular carrier member of an insulating material and windings carried thereby. The windings are formed by a plurality of layers of annular rows of generally radially extending and axially thin conductor segments each having radially inner and outer end sections and an intermediate effective section axially aligned with magnets on an associated rotor during rotation thereof. The axial thickness of the effective section of each of the conductor segments of the outermost layers is smaller than the axial thickness of the effective section of each of the conductor segments of inner layers.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
A flat type rotary electric machine including: a generally annular and flat stator armature coil defining therein a central opening; a shaft rotatably extending through said central opening; and a pair of rotors mounted on said shaft for rotation therewith and disposed on the opposite sides of said armature coil; said rotors having permanent magnet means disposed in opposite relationship to the annular faces of said armature coil; said armature coil comprising: an annular carrier member of an electrically insulating material and windings carried by said carrier member; said windings being formed by a plurality of layers of annular rows of generally radially extending and axially thin conductors each having radially inner and outer end sections and an intermediate effective section; . the axial thickness of at least the effective section of each of the conductors of the outermost layers being smaller than the axial thickness of the effective section of each of the conductors of inner layers.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
158 words
A flat type rotary electric machine including: a generally annular and flat stator armature coil defining therein a central opening; a shaft rotatably extending through said central opening; and a pair of rotors mounted on said shaft for rotation therewith and disposed on the opposite sides of said armature coil; said rotors having permanent magnet means disposed in opposite relationship to the annular faces of said armature coil; said armature coil comprising: an annular carrier member of an electrically insulating material and windings carried by said carrier member; said windings being formed by a plurality of layers of annular rows of generally radially extending and axially thin conductors each having radially inner and outer end sections and an intermediate effective section; . the axial thickness of at least the effective section of each of the conductors of the outermost layers being smaller than the axial thickness of the effective section of each of the conductors of inner layers.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
64 words
A flat type rotary electric machine according to Claim 1, wherein the permanent magnet means on each rotor has a radial dimension not greater than the radial dimension of the effective section of each conductor of the outermost layer associated with the rotor and is so disposed as to be axially aligned with the effective sections of successive conductors of said associated outermost layer.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
87 words
A flat type rotary electric machine according to Claim 2, wherein the permanent magnet means on each rotor comprises a plurality of magnet segments circumferentially spaced from each other to define a plurality of substantially radial grooves and wherein each rotor is provided with centrifugal fan blades disposed adjacent to the outer peripheral edge of said rotor, whereby when the rotor is rotated, the centrifugal fan blades cooperate with said radial grooves to cause substantially radially outward cooling air flows between the rotor and said armature coil.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
45 words
A flat type rotary electric machine according to Claim 3, wherein the radially outer end sections of at least some of the conductors of the outermost layers are bent to form axially extending fins disposed in the paths of said radially outward cooling air flows.
