Abstract

ABSTRACT:

The invention relates to an electric motor and specially a motor arrangement comprising four such motors.
It is an object of the invention to provide a motor and a motor arrangement, respectively, which in an optimal way as regards the torque value and the motor constant value utilizes the available volume. This is obtained by a sub-stantially conical shaping of the motors and when the motor arrangement consists of four motors with the axes of rotation in a common plane, by symmetrically arranging the motors with the smaller end surfaces in pairs facing each other. The motor arrangement are useful as rudder motors at missile applications.

Description

~Z(~35~i7 PHZ 82 OO7 l 2g-12-19~2 , The invention relates to an electric motor com-prising a rotor and a stator and in particular a motor arrangement comprising ~our such electric motors, o~
which the axes o~ rotation being substantially arranged in one and the same plane~ two o~ the axes o~ rotation being substantially arranged to coincide with a ~irst coordinate axis in the plane and the other two being substantially arranged to coincide with a second coordinate axisin the plane which is rotated 9O in relation to the ~irst coordinate axis. The invention also relates to the use o~ such motor arrangements as rudder motors in missilesO
Arrangements Or this type and comprising ~our con-ventional torq~e motors are previously knownO With a conventional motor in this case is meant a motor having a oylinder-shaped rotor and a ~tator adapted thereto. A motor arrangement consisting o~ ~our such conventional motors is relatively bull~y because there is a relati.vely large space in the center of the motor arrangement which is not usedO
In some applications, ~or example as rudder motors in missiles etc., the motor arrangement occupies an inad-vantageously large par-t o~ the spaceO
Torque motors o~ the kind set ~orth have a torque which is linearly dependent on the length o~ the rotor-stator unit and approximatel~ related to the s~uare o~
its diameter~ In this connection a motor constant I~l may be de~ined as:
I~ = ~ /\ rpp where Tp is the pea~ torque and pp pec~ power input at stall conditionO
A ~irst object o~ the invention is to provide an electric motor which in an optimal way as regards the tor~ue value and the motor constant value utilizes the available space and a second object is to provide a compact 3~X~7 P~IZ ~2 OO7 -2- 29-12-1982 symmetrical motor arrangement 1~lich in an optimal way as regards the torque ~alue and the rnotor constant value utilizes the c~vailable volume.
According to the invention the ~irst object is obtained b~- an electric motor characterized in that the stator has the ~orm o~ a hollow~ tapering, and substantially rotary symmetrical bodyO
The second object is obtained by a motor arrange-ment characterized in that the motors are arranged with the thinnest part facing the intersectional point between the first and the second coordinate axis.
~ le de~ined rotary svmmetrical ~orm implies that -the volume of the stator unit may be substantially increased and that the sur~ace o~ the air gap may be considerably enlarged compared to previously known arrangements. From this follo1~s that the motors obtain a higher motor con-stane I~I
According to one embodiment o~ the invention the ro-tors o~ the motors are air journalled in order to further 20 increase the motor constant. 1~hen using air journalling the air gaps o~ the motors may be decre~sed. Thls implies a higher ~lu~ density and hence a large torque. Besides~ an increased cooling o~ the motors is obtained as an additicnal e~ect. According to another embodiment o~ the nvention the 25 magnetic poles in tangenting motors may be integrated. As a consequence the rotor diameters may be increased to pro-vide the motors with a larger torque.
The invention will now be described in more detail with re~erence to the accompanying drawing, in which F O 1 30 shows a cross section coinciding with the plane of the rotation a~es~ o~ a prior art arrangement, Fi~. 2 shows the same cross section as in Fig. 1 o~ a motor arrangement according to the invention~ Fi~ ~ schematically shows a perspective view o~ the stator comprised in the motor or 35 motor arrangement o~ the invention, viewed in perspective, Fi~u 4 schematically shows the rotor comprised in the motor or motor arrangement according to the invention, ; viewed in perspective, and Fi,~ ~ shows a cross section o~

~3SS7 PIIZ ~2 OO7 ~3~ 29-12-1982 an assembled stator and rotor~ thc area being parallel with the end sur~aces o~ the rotor and the stator.
According to the previously known embodiment shown in Fig. 1 ~our conventional torque motors l' are arranged with their aYes of rotation 4~ in one and the same planeO
The motors l' are arranged in pairs so that the axes o~
rotation 4~ o~ two motors in their prolongation coincide and so that axes o~ rotation 4' that do not coincide in their prolongation are mutually rotated 9O. In order to obtain a symmetrical motor arrangement the distance bet~een the two motors, having in their prolongation coinciding a~es o~ rotation, must as is apparent ~rom Fig. l be at least equal to the diameters of the motors l~, Each motor l' comprises a cylinder-shaped rotor 2' and a hollo~ cy-15 ~nder-shaped stator 3' adapted thereto~ An air gap 14' is present between the rotor 2' and the stator 3~ Thus, such an arrangement is rather bulky.
The ~ig. 2-5 show an embodiment o~ the motor and the motor arrangement according to the invention in which corresponding parts have the same re~erence numbers but without a prime sign.
According to -the embodiment the motor arrangement comprises ~our elec-tric motors l with their aYes o~ ro-tation 4 situated in one and the same p7ane and rotated 25 relati~e to each other as in the previously known arrange-ment. Each motor l comprises a rotor 2 and a stator 3. The rotors have a rotary symmetrical ~orm similar to a ~rustrum o~ a cone and are arranged with the mul-tilated end ~acing the center o~ the motor arrangement. The stators 3 consist o~ rotary symmetrical bodies with a ~orm similar to a hol-low ~rustrum o~ a cone and are adapted to the rotors 2.
The conical shape o~ the rotors 2 and the stators 3 and thereby the motors l themselves enables a very small dis-tance between two opposite motors, because the minimum 35 disLance substantially is determined by the diameter at the mutilated end sur~ace 7 o~ the stator 3. In order to utili~e the available space at a ma~imum the conical stator shou~d have a conical top angle o~ abou-t 9O, i.e. a conicity o~

9L2~35~7 P~IZ ~2 OO7 _4_ 29-l2-1982 about 45 . I~ the motor arrangement is arranged in a space ~ith a circular section, which is the case in missile applicatioIIs~ the sur~ace of the air gaps o~ the motors c~n be further increased by extending the rotors 2 and sta-tors 3 at the larger end surface 119 8. Thus the air gap 1can be gi~en an extension almost to a circle 16 that cir-cumscribes the motor arrangementO The extension o~ the ro-tors and the stators has been indicated by bro~en lines 15 in Figo 20 ~le conical ~our pole stator 3~ shown in Figo 3 and 5, comprises ~our permanent magnetical areas 5 extending ~rom one end sur~ace 7 to the other 8 and ~our therebetween situated areas of so~t magnetical material 6 such as steel in solid or laminated ~orm. The permanent magnetical areas l5 suitably consist o~ alnico or rare earths. Although the stator is shown in a four-pole embodiment the number o~
poles can be chosen arbitrarily. F~u-ther~ magnetical poles being a tangent to each other can be integrated. The ~our-pole stator sho~n may, ~or example, share two o~ its poles 20 l~ith adjacent stators.
The rotor~ schematically shown in Fig 4, com-prises a conical body 9 having winding groo~es~ and pre-ferably consists of a lamina-~e. Only three o~ the winding grooves 10 are shown in the Fig. 4, while the other grooves 25 have been indicated with bro~en lines. The winding grooves 10 e~tend ~rom one end sur~ace l1 i~ the conical body to the other end sur~ace 12. The winding grooves 10 are pro-vided with ~indings 13~ shown in Fig. 5, which windings pre~erably consist o~ copper, the windings being wound 30 between the end sur~aces 11~ 12 o~ the rotor. Besides, some Or the windings can be shortened and wound along the part o~ the winding grooves being situated immediately adjacent to the larger one 1l o~ the two end sur~acesO
The rotor can~ i~ required, be provided wi-th a 35 commutator o~ a conventional brush type or an electronic commutator. ~n eventual commutator may suitably be arranged at one o~ the end sur~aces 11, l2 of the rotor.
The motors can be direct current (D.C.) motors ~73~

and/or alternating current (A.C 7 ) motors and the windings can be provided on the rotor~ as sho~n in ~ig. 4, or alternatively on the stator, the rotor having then instead permanent magnets.
