Abstract

Abstract An electric machine without pole pieces excited by permanent magnets is disclosed in which the stator of the machine comprises a yoke frame of angular outside shape having an even number of corners which exceeds 2 and of circular inside shape. The yoke frame forms the magnetic return and arc-shaped permanent magnets corresponding to the inside shape of the yoke frame are fastened in the inside of the yoke frame with lateral spaces therebetween, the magnets being centrally disposed between respective corners of the frame.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 71 words
A permanent magnet excited electric machine including a stator which comprises: a yoke frame of angular outside shape in which the number of corners thereof is even and greater than two and of circular inside shape, said yoke frame forming the magnetic return, and a plurality of laterally spaced, arc-shaped permanet magnets secured to the inside of the yoke frame, each being disposed generally centered with respect to two adjacent corners.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 71 words
A permanent magnet excited electric machine including a stator which comprises: a yoke frame of angular outside shape in which the number of corners thereof is even and greater than two and of circular inside shape, said yoke frame forming the magnetic return, and a plurality of laterally spaced, arc-shaped permanet magnets secured to the inside of the yoke frame, each being disposed generally centered with respect to two adjacent corners.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 61 words
The machine as recited in claim 1, and comprising a plurality of holding bars and at least one ring connecting the bars, the spaced magnets defining lateral spaces therebetween with the bars being disposed in the lateral spaces between the magnets, the bars in cooperation with the ring connecting the bars, securing the magnets in the inside of the yoke frame.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 47 words
The machine as recited in claim 2, and including a tube of a magnetic material disposed in the stator bore of the machine formed by the magnets, with the bars and the rings connecting them being of unitary, one piece construction and being disposed about the tube.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 24 words
The machine as recited in claim 1, wherein the number of arc-shaped permanent magnets corresponds to the number of corners of said yoke frame.
