Transverse flux reluctance motor

A reluctance motor comprises:

• a rotor that is configured to rotate about a longitudinal axis;
• and
• a stator;
• wherein the rotor has on a surface adjacent to the stator a toothing, and the stator has on a surface adjacent to the rotor a corresponding toothing, the teeth of which extend in the direction of the longitudinal axis;
• wherein the stator has at least two cavities arranged successively in the longitudinal direction, each of the at least two cavities configured to receive a toroidal coil configured to be energized, windings of the toroidal coils being wound concentrically around the longitudinal axis;
• wherein the stator is penetrated on the side adjacent to the rotor for the formation of a respective air gap toward the cavities;
• and
• wherein the air gap is aligned in a circular-cylindrical manner and concentrically to the longitudinal axis and has a constant height in the direction of the longitudinal axis which is smaller than an extent of the toroidal coil in the direction of the longitudinal axis.

A method for assembling a reluctance motor comprising:

• a rotor which rotates about a longitudinal axis;
• and
• an individual stator;
• wherein the rotor has on a surface adjacent to the stator a toothing, and the stator has on a surface adjacent to the rotor a corresponding toothing, the teeth of which extend in the direction of the longitudinal axis;
• wherein the stator has at least two cavities arranged successively in the longitudinal direction for receiving in each case a toroidal coil which are configured to be energized, windings of the toroidal coils being wound concentrically around the longitudinal axis;
• wherein the stator is penetrated on the side adjacent to the rotor for the formation of a respective air gap toward the cavities;
• wherein the stator has stator segments which surround in each case a toroidal coil and which are formed from two or three components;
• and
• wherein the air gap is aligned in a circular-cylindrical manner and concentrically to the longitudinal axis and has a constant height in the direction of the longitudinal axis which is smaller than an extent of the toroidal coil in the direction of the longitudinal axis;
• the method comprising:
• providing an assembly pin which extends in the longitudinal direction and which ensures the relative alignment of the stator segments to one another,
• placing a second front plate on a seat of the assembly pin,
• placing the stator segments with toroidal coils arranged therebetween successively on the assembly pin, and
• positioning a first front plate onto the last applied stator segment and connecting the two front plates by means of connecting screws.
