Synchronous motor

Claim 2

An electric synchronous motor comprising a rotor with cage winding consisting of a solid shaft and rotor lamination packets holding the cage rods, sequential rotor poles being located in axially spaced planes, a stator with a field winding and a direct-current energizing winding surrounding the rotor between said planes, characterized in that the lamination packets form closed rings and the shaft of the rotor has local recesses to form poles.

Claim 3

A synchronous motor as claimed in claim 1 characterized in that the diameter of the rotor shaft is locally reduced.

Claim 4

A synchronous motor as claimed in claim 2 characterized in that the shaft is locally chambered.

Claim 5

A synchronous motor as claimed in claim 3 characterized in that the shaft is rounded off at the transitional area to a smaller diameter.

Claim 6

A synchronous motor as claimed in claim 4 characterized in that the radial sectional area of the rings at the interface between the polar and interpolar spaces is reduced.

Claim 7

A synchronous motor as claimed in claim 3 characterized in that the radial sectional area of the rings at the interface between the polar and interpolar spaces is reduced.

Claim 8

A synchronous motor as claimed in claim 2 characterized in that the radial sectional area of the rings at the interface between the polar and interpolar spaces is reduced.

Claim 9

A synchronous motor as claimed in claim 1 characterized in that the radial sectional area of the rings at the interface between the polar and interpolar spaces is reduced.

Claim 10

A synchronous motor as claimed in claim 8 characterized in that the rings have a recess at the interface between the polar and interpolar spaces.

Claim 11

An electric synchronous motor comprising, in combination: a housing having opposite end portions and a rotor having opposite end portions rotatably supported by the opposite end portions of the housing; a stator assembly disposed within and supported by said housing, said stator assembly comprising a pair of axially spaced, annular stator cores, d.c. energizing winding means disposed within said cores, and a.c. winding means bridging said cores for producing a rotating magnetic field; said rotor having an enlarged intermediate section of magnetizable material and presenting a first portion surrounded by said d.c. winding and further portions on either side of said first portion surrounded respectively by said stator cores, said first portion being of cylindrical form and said further portions having local recesses forming poles, there being two diametrically opposed poles on each further portion of the rotor and the poles of one further portion being angularly offset from the poles of the other further portion; first and second lamination packets respectively engaged upon and surrounding said further portions of the rotor, each packet being of cylindrical outer surface form and having an inner surface conforming to the shape of its respective further portion of the rotor whereby each lamination is of closed ring form; and a series of circumferentially spaced cage rods embedded in each packet and each being substantially coextensive in length with its associated packet.

Claim 12

An electric synchronous motor comprising, in combination: a housing having opposite end portions and a rotor having opposite end portions rotatably supported by the opposite end portions of the housing; a stator assembly disposed within and supported by said housing, said stator assembly comprising a pair of axially spaced, annular stator cores, d.c. energizing winding means disposed within said cores, and a.c. winding means bridging said cores for producing a rotating magnetic field; said rotor having an enlarged intermediate section of magnetizable material and presenting a first portion surrounded by said d.c. winding and further portions on either side of said first portion surrounded respectively by said stator cores, said first portion being of cylindrical form and said further portions having local recesses forming poles, there being two diametrically opposed poles on each further portion of the rotor and the poles of one further portion being angularly offset from the poles of the other further portion; first and second lamination packets respectively engaged upon and surrounding said further portions of the rotor, each packet being of cylindrical outer surface form and having an inner surface conforming to the shape of its respective further portion of the rotor whereby each lamination is of closed ring form; and a series of circumferentially spaced cage rods embedded in each packet and each being substantially coextensive in length with its associated packet.

Claim 13

An electric synchronous motor as defined in claim 10 wherein said further portions of the rotor are of reduced diameter with respect to said first portion thereof.
