Motor with a Plurality of Stator Modules and Driving Method Thereof

Abstract

A motor with a plurality of stator modules and a driving method of the motor are provided. The motor includes a plurality of stator modules, a control unit, and a rotor. The plurality of stator modules is detachably assembled into a motor stator. Each of the plurality of stator modules includes a driving circuit. Each driving circuit is electrically connected to a plurality of coils of an associated one of the plurality of stator modules. The control unit is coupled to the driving circuits. The control unit designates one of the plurality of stator modules as a starting unit and designates remaining stator modules as relay units. The rotor includes at least one magnetic member corresponding to the plurality of coils of the plurality of stator modules. The starting unit drives the rotor to rotate. The relay units drive the rotor according to a phase change of the starting unit.
