Abstract
A pulse generator includes a rotor assembly which is formed by circularly arranged magnetic poles, and a stator assembly which is disposed coaxial with the rotor assembly and is formed by stator coils arranged circularly. Index angles defined by the circumferential ends of the magnetic poles are made unequal to each other. Pitches defined by angular intervals between adjacent stator coils are selected to allow the stator coils to electromagnetically match the corresponding magnet poles only once per revolution of the rotor assembly.
Claims11
A pulse generator comprising a rotor assembly having a center and a stator assembly disposed coaxial with said rotor assembly, said rotor assembly comprising a permanent magnet which comprises a plurality of magnetic poles arranged circularly at said center of said stator assembly, each pair of the adjacent magnetic poles bearing magnetic polarities opposite to each other, each of said magnetic poles having two ends which define an index angle at said center of said stator assembly, said stator assembly comprising a plurality of stator coils arranged circularly in total at said center of said rotor assembly and each of said stator coil being directed toward said permanent magnet, a gap between each pair of the adjacent stator coils defining a pitch, wherein said index angles are set to be unequal to each other, and said pitches are set to allow said stator coils to electromagnetically match the corresponding magnetic poles only once per revolution of said rotor assembly.
