DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
With reference now to tNe drawings, and in particular to Figures I through 9 thereof, a new motor-generator system with a current control feedback loop embodying the principles ~-nd concepts of the present invention will be described.
As best illustrated in Figures 1 through 9, the motor-generator system generally comprises a housing, an electric motor assembly 20, an electric generator assembly 60, and a control assembly 63.
The housing defines an interior space, and includes a first portion 21 and a second portion 22. The electric motor assembly 20 is positioned within the first portion 21 of the housing. The electric motor assembly 20 is operationally coupled to a shaft member 65. The electric motor assembly 20 selectively rotates the shaft member 65. The electric generator assembly 60 is operationally coupled to the shaft member 65, and converts mechanical rotation into electrical energy. The electric generator assembly 60 is positioned within the second portion 22 of the housing. The electric generator assembly 60 includes a current output for supplying electrical current. The control assembly 63 is operationally coupled between the electric generator assembly 60 and the electric motor assembly 20. The control assembly 63 provides a control current to the electric motor assembly 20 for controlling a speed of rotation induced into the shaft member 65 by the electric motor assembly 20.
Preferably, the electric motor assembly 20 includes a pair of magnetic drive wheels 32. Each one of the pair of magnetic drive wheels 32 has a plurality of bores 33 extending radially into the perimeter side wall. Each one of the bores 33 is for receiving an associate one of a plurality of magnetic assemblies 40. A plurality of apertures 34 extends through a first side of the magnetic drive wheel 32 into an associated one of the bores 33 for selectively receiving a securing member 35 to secure an associated one of the magnetic assemblies 40 into the associated one of the plurality of bores 33. A plurality of voids 3b extends from a first side of the magnetic drive wheel, each magnetic drive wheel thereby acting as a fly wheel assembly. The plurality of voids 36 is positioned symmetrically through the magnetic drive wheel 32 to maintain rotationally balance of the magnetic drive wheel 32.
In an embodiment the magnetic drive wheel 32 comprises a polymeric material to minimize weight of the magnetic drive wheel 32.
In a further embodiment each one of the plurality of magnetic assemblies 40 further comprises a rare earth magnet 42, a bottom cap member 43, a perimeter wall 44, and a top cap member 46. The rare earth magnetic 42 has a generally cylindrical form. The bottom cap member 43 is preferably operationally coupled to the rare earth magnet 42. The perimeter wall 44 extends upward from the bottom cap member 43 and substantially envelops a perimeter of the rare earth magnet 42. The perimeter wall 44 has a notch portion 45 extending downward from a top edge of the perimeter wall 44.
The top cap member 46 is operationally coupled to the perimeter wall 44, and abuts a top portion of the rare earth magnet 42. The top cap member 46 is preferably an arcuate segment having an outer edge 47 extending through an arc of between 45 and 180 degrees inclusive. The bottom cap member 43, the perimeter wall 44, and the top cap member 46 are steel for directing magnetic lines of flux.
S
In still a further embodiment the outer edge 47 of the arcuate segment;
top cap member 46 extends through an arc of about 80 degrees.
In an embodiment the stator assembly 50 further comprises a plurality of rare earth magnets 52 and a plurality of coil members 56. Each one of the plurality of rare earth magnets 52 has a general horse-shoe shape with complementary poles portioned on each end 53,54 of the horse shoe shape..Each one of the plurality of coil members 56 is wrapped around an associated one of the plurality of horse show shaped rare earth magnets 52. Each one of the plurality of coil member 56 is operationally coupled to the control assembly 63.
In an embodiment a first one of the pair of magnetic drive wheels 32 is offset from a second one of the pair of magnetic drive wheels 32. Thus, the magnetic assemblies 40 of the first one of the pair of magnetic drive wheels 32 are not aligned with the magnetic assemblies 40 of the second one of the pair of magnetic drive wheel 32.
Preferably, the magnetic assemblies 40 of the first, one of the pair of magnetic drive wheels 32 is aligned with a first end 53 of .
the horse shoe shaped rare earth magnet 52 of the stator assembly 50. Each one of the magnetic assemblies 40 of the first one of the pair of magnetic drive wheels 32 includes a first magnetic polarity.
The first end 53 of the horse shoe shaped rare earth magnet 52 of the stator assembly 50 includes an identical first magnetic polarity. Thus, the first end 53 of the horse shoe shaped rare earth magnet. 52 of the stator assembly 50 repels each one of the magnetic S assemblies 40 of the first one of the pair of magnetic drive wheel 32. Similarly, the magnetic assemblies 40 of the second one of the pair of magnetic drive wheels 32 is aligned with a second end 54 of the horse shoe shaped rare earth magnet 52 of the stator assembly 50. Each one of the magnetic assemblies 40 of the second one of the pair of magnetic drive wheels 32 includes a second magnetic polarity_ The second end 54 of the horse shoe shaped rare earth magnet 52 of the stator assembly 50 includes an identical second magnetic polarity. Thus, the second end 54 of the horse shoe shaped rare earth magnet 52 of the stator assembly 50 repels each one of the magnetic assemblies 40 of the second one of the pair of magnetic drive wheels 32.
A first bearing plate 24 may be positioned at a first end of the first portion 21 of the housing for rotatably receiving a first end of the shaft member 65. Similarly, a second bearing plate 25 may be positioned at a first end of the second portion 22 of the housing for rotatably receiving a second end of the shaft member 65. The first bearing plate 24 and the second bearing plate 25 rotatably support the weight of the shaft member 65.
Most preferably, a third bearing plate member 26 is positioned between the electric motor assembly 20 and the electric generator assembly 60 for rotatably supporting a medial portion of the shaft member 65.
A stand assembly 70 may be included for supporting the housing while the motor-generator system is in use. In an embodiment the stand assembly 70 further comprises a base. member 71, a first cradle member 72, and a second cradle member 75. The base member 71 includes a horizontal first surface. The firsE cradle member 72 includes a vertical support portion 73 ex tend-i-ng upwardly from the base member 71, and an engagement portion 74 for abutting an exterior portion of the housing. The second cradle member 75 includes a second vertical support portion 76 extending upwardly from the base member 71, and a second engagement portion 77 for abutting a second exterior portion of the housing. A vertical stanchion 78 member may extend between the first cradle member 72 and the second cradle member 75.
Further, a plurality of wheels 79 may operationally coupled to the stand assembly 70 for facilitating transport of the motor-generator system.
In use, the electric motor assembly is started by the application of an external current, or by physically inducing rotation of the magnetic drive wheels. This initial rotation causes the shaft member to rotate, which in turn rotates a generator magnet assembly past a plurality of generator coils generating electricity.
At least a portion of the current generated is routed to the control assembly, -modified and routed back to the plurality of coil members of the electric motor assembly. This current feedback can be used to increase or decrease the magnetic flux between the magnetic assemblies and the horse shoe shaped rare earth magnets changing the speed of rotation of the magnetic drive wheels.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of the invention, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
