Abstract
Abstract A self-starting single-phase synchronous motor comprising a generally bell-shaped permanently magnetized rotor, a coil located inside the rotor and having a core which is connected at both ends to stator parts having distinct poles, one of the stator parts being located between the coil and rotor and the other stator part being located outside the rotor, the rotor being rotatably mounted on the shaft with defined friction, a resilient coupling element arranged between the rotor and shaft, and locking means acting on the rotor for determining the starting direction of rotation and located in front of the resilient coupling element on the power transmission path.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
A self-starting single-phase synchronous motor comprising: a generally bell-shaped permanently magnetized rotor; a stator having two parts each with distinct poles; a coil located inwardly of the rotor and having a core which is connected at its end to said two stator parts, one said stator part being located between said coil and rotor and the other said stator part being located outwardly of said rotor, said rotor being rotatably mounted on a shaft with defined friction; a resilient coupling element interposed between said rotor and shaft, said resilient coupling element engaging said rotor and shaft for resiliently transmitting torque from said rotor to said shaft; and locking means mounted on said rotor and acting on said rotor for locking said rotor preventing rotation in an undesired direction and for permitting starting of said rotor in the opposite, desired direction of rotation, said locking means located in front of said resilient coupling element on the power transmission path.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
158 words
A self-starting single-phase synchronous motor comprising: a generally bell-shaped permanently magnetized rotor; a stator having two parts each with distinct poles; a coil located inwardly of the rotor and having a core which is connected at its end to said two stator parts, one said stator part being located between said coil and rotor and the other said stator part being located outwardly of said rotor, said rotor being rotatably mounted on a shaft with defined friction; a resilient coupling element interposed between said rotor and shaft, said resilient coupling element engaging said rotor and shaft for resiliently transmitting torque from said rotor to said shaft; and locking means mounted on said rotor and acting on said rotor for locking said rotor preventing rotation in an undesired direction and for permitting starting of said rotor in the opposite, desired direction of rotation, said locking means located in front of said resilient coupling element on the power transmission path.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
A motor according to claim 1, wherein the width of the distinct stator poles is from 100 to 180 electric degrees.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
A motor according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the resonance frequency of the system comprised of said rotor and said resilient coupling element with the shaft blocked is less than the mains frequency.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
A motor as claimed in claim 3, in which the resonance frequency of the free system comprised of said shaft, rotor and the resilient coupling element is also less than the mains frequency.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
101 words
A motor according to claim 1, further comprising ratchet toothing means mounted on said stator; and wherein said locking means to determine the starting direction of rotation comprise pawls mounted to be freely pivotal on said rotor; the center of gravity of said pawls lying outside and, with regard to the undesired direction of rotation, being located behind the pivotal axis, such that the pawls during sudden acceleration are pivotally engaged with said ratchet toothing means when the rotor starts in the undesired direction of rotation and are pivotally disengaged on continued rotation of the rotor in the opposite, desired direction.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
43 words
A motor according to claim 5, wherein said rotor has pivot means allowing pivotal mounting of said pawls on said rotor in one of two opposite positions, the direction of rotation during starting being determined in accordance with the position of the pawls.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
31 words
A motor according to claim 5 or 6, wherein the stop positions of the pawls are located close to the positions of said rotor at which maximum starting torque acts thereon.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
22 words
A motor according to claim 5, wherein said ratchet toothing means comprises a motor housing having indentations therein mounted on said stator.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
38 words
A motor according to claim 7, wherein said ratchet toothing means has a number of teeth defining as many locking positions as there are rest positions of said rotor or as there are positions with maximum starting torque.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
27 words
A motor according to claim 1 or 5, wherein an inertia mass is mounted on said motor shaft for increasing the moment of inertia of said shaft.
