Abstract
Abstract An electronic motor has a multi-pole external rotor and a multi-slot stator which is rotatable inside the external rotor. At least two magnetic field sensing elements are arranged in the vicinity of the external rotor and current supply to the stator windings is provided by a commutation device. The prior art stator was provided with obliquely set stator winding slots and involved a complicated winding technique. To eliminate this disadvantage and to be able to use slots lying parallel to the axis, the neutral field lines between each north and south pole of the external rotor are made to lie parallel to the rotor axis in the region of the magnetic field sensing elements and obliquely thereto in the region of the laminated rotor stack.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
134 words
In an electronic motor having a multipole external rotor comprising a magnet body having north and south poles and adapted to revolve about a rotor axis, a multislot stator fixed inside the external rotor, and at least two magnetic field sensing elements radially disposed between the magnet body and a flux return part and fixed near by the external rotor, the sensing elements furnishing signals dependent on the angular position of the rotor to an electronic commutation device for feeding current to the stator windings, the improvement comprising: the north and south poles of the external rotor being separated by neutral field lines lying parallel to the rotor axis in the region of the magnetic field sensing elements and obliquely to the rotor axis in the region of the laminated stack of the stator.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
134 words
In an electronic motor having a multipole external rotor comprising a magnet body having north and south poles and adapted to revolve about a rotor axis, a multislot stator fixed inside the external rotor, and at least two magnetic field sensing elements radially disposed between the magnet body and a flux return part and fixed near by the external rotor, the sensing elements furnishing signals dependent on the angular position of the rotor to an electronic commutation device for feeding current to the stator windings, the improvement comprising: the north and south poles of the external rotor being separated by neutral field lines lying parallel to the rotor axis in the region of the magnetic field sensing elements and obliquely to the rotor axis in the region of the laminated stack of the stator.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
93 words
In an electronic motor according to claim 1 in which the magnetic field sensing elements are arranged on a support plate and protrude therefrom into an annular groove provided on the end face of the external rotor, and in which the groove is formed by the cylindrical magnet body and a rotor part which is cup shaped and surrounds the latter, acting as magnetic flux return part, the further improvement comprising: the length of the neutral field lines lying parallel to the axis being approximately the same as the depth of annular groove.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
38 words
In an electronic motor according to claim 1 or claim 2, the further improvement comprising the length of the neutral field lines parallel to the axis corresponding to approximately double the width of one magnetic field sensitive element.
