Abstract
A high performance rotating electrical machine which aims at downsizing, and challenges inevitable technical problems such as deterioration of efficiency η caused by copper loss and temperature rise inside the rotating electrical machine due to heat generation induced by eddy current generated in magnetic body.
Claims19
Coreless rotating electrical machine comprising:
- a stator in which a driveshaft is rotatably coupled to a center part of a lid-type mount which fixes one of end faces of an energizeable coreless cylindrical coil cylindrically formed using a laminate structure consisting of a few overlapping conductive metal sheets, in such a manner that each sheet is covered by insulating layer, with a plurality of line parts being spaced in longitudinal direction;
- a rotor which is constructed such that another end face of the cylindrical coil is closed leaving a clearance with respect to a cup-type mount opposingly positioned with respect to the lid-type mount, and that the cylindrical coil is arranged in a first air space which forms an air gap between an inner cylindrical air-channel forming body and an outer cylindrical air-channel forming body which are integrated with the cup-type mount, and further that the driveshaft penetrating through a center part of the lid-type mount is coupled to a center part of the cup-type mount and magnets are equipped on an inner surface of the outer cylindrical air-channel forming body and/or an outer surface of the inner cylindrical air-channel forming body in the first air space;
- and,
- a second air space positioned on inner surface side of the cylindrical coil and a third air space positioned on outer surface side of the cylindrical coil formed between ones of end faces of the inner cylindrical air-channel forming body and the outer cylindrical air-channel forming body and the lid-type mount;
- wherein,
- a means for feeding or intaking cooling medium or cooling air into the second air space is further provided, in such a manner that the cooling medium or cooling air is passed inside and outside of the cylindrical coil arranged in the first air space and is discharged from the third air space.
