Abstract
Abstract A revolving-flux type motor is provided with a stator including a coil wound around an iron core and a rotor including permanent magnets fixed to an iron core. The permanent magnets of the rotor have peripheries which form a circle as a whole when fixed to the iron core and bottoms of which configurations are determined to form a flux density distribution of a sinusoidal waveform at a gap between the stator and the rotor. The iron core of the rotor has an outer peripheral configuration which allows face-contact with the bottoms of the permanent magnets.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
173 words
A rotor for a revolving-flux type motor provided with a stator including a coil wound around an iron core, said rotor comprising: an iron core having a beveled outer cylindrical surface defined by a plurality of alternating first end second flat surface segments; a plurality of permanent magnets, each of said permanent magnets being mounted on one of said first flat surface segments and having an arcuate outer surface and a flat inner surface, said iron core and said permanent magnets providing a magnetic flux density varying in accordance with a 180° sinusoidal waveform in a circumferential direction between said rotor and the stator, the arcuate outer surfaces of said permanent magnets together defining a circular circumference for said rotor, said first flat surface segments each providing flush contact with the inner surface of the each respective permanent magnet mounted thereon, and said second flat surface segments defining spaces between said first surface segments and between said permanent magnets; and a band clamp securing the plurality of permanent magnets on the iron core.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
173 words
A rotor for a revolving-flux type motor provided with a stator including a coil wound around an iron core, said rotor comprising: an iron core having a beveled outer cylindrical surface defined by a plurality of alternating first end second flat surface segments; a plurality of permanent magnets, each of said permanent magnets being mounted on one of said first flat surface segments and having an arcuate outer surface and a flat inner surface, said iron core and said permanent magnets providing a magnetic flux density varying in accordance with a 180° sinusoidal waveform in a circumferential direction between said rotor and the stator, the arcuate outer surfaces of said permanent magnets together defining a circular circumference for said rotor, said first flat surface segments each providing flush contact with the inner surface of the each respective permanent magnet mounted thereon, and said second flat surface segments defining spaces between said first surface segments and between said permanent magnets; and a band clamp securing the plurality of permanent magnets on the iron core.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
