Abstract

Abstract A synchronized induction motor comprises a stator including a cylindrical armature core having an armature winding wound thereon for generating a rotating magnetic field, a cylindrical housing for housing the stator therein, end brackets mounted at opposite open ends of the housing and having a bearing mounted at a center portion thereof a rotor shaft concentrically arranged in the stator axially of the armature core and rotatably supported by bearings, a rotor core mounted concentrically with the rotor shaft on the rotor shaft and magnetically coupled to the armature core through an air gap, end plates mounted to sandwich the rotor core, starting secondary conductors arranged axially of the rotor shaft in the vicinity of an outer circumference of the rotor core and adapted to cooperate with the stator which is held by the end plate to form an induction motor, end rings for shorting the ends of the secondary conductors on the end plates, balance rings mounted on the rotor shaft in the vicinity of the bearings, sumarium-cobalt split-type permanent magnets arranged around the outer circumference of the rotor core axially of the rotor shaft, and an epoxy fiber impregnated glass fiber tape or stainless steel tape for holding the permanent magnets on the rotor core. The permanent magnets are magnetized after they have been mounted on the rotor core.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 190 words
A synchronized motor comprising: (a) a stator including an armature core having an armature winding wound thereon for generating a rotating magnetic field; (b) a casing for housing said stator; (c) a rotor shaft concentrically arranged axially of said armature core; (d) a rotor core mounted concentrically with said rotor shaft on said rotor shaft and magnetically coupled to said armature core through an air gap; (e) starting secondary conductors arranged within said rotor core, said secondary conductors and said stator forming an induction motor; (f) a permanent magnet mounted in the outer circumference of said rotor core along the axis of said rotor shaft for forming a synchronous motor in cooperation with said stator, said permanent magnet having a predetermined coercive force such that the permanent magnet is not demagnetized by a rotating magnetic field in the air gap generated when the motor is operating as the induction motor, said permanent magnet having the coercive force of no less than 15 K oersteds; and (g) a reinforcing member mounted around an outer circumference of said permanent magnet, said reinforcing member being welded to said permanent magnet at interpole points.
