Transverse flux electrical motor

摘要

A transverse flux electrical motor to produce motion from an input electric current, the electrical motor comprising: a static element having a plurality of magnets arranged in at least two rows and defining a path of movement; a magnetizable movable element having at least two openings, each opening being sized and shaped to receive a magnet from one of the rows of magnets, the movable element being movable along the path of movement such that the magnets of each row pass through one of the openings; and a plurality of windings positioned adjacent to the movable element, to receive the electric current and produce a magnetic flux circuit in the movable element and a force on the movable element in the direction of the path of movement; wherein the magnetic flux circuit in the movable element is transverse to the direction of force on the movable element.

1. A transverse flux electrical motor to produce motion from an input electric current, said electrical motor comprising:
a static element having a plurality of magnets arranged in at least two rows and defining a path of movement; and a magnetizable movable carriage element having at least two openings, each opening being sized and shaped to receive a magnet from one of the rows of magnets, such that said magnet is substantially enclosed within said opening, the movable element being movable along the path of movement such that the magnets of each row pass through one of said openings interstitially, wherein the magnets are positioned inside each opening such that said opening has a north pole facing one side of the opening and a south pole facing the other side of the opening, such that opposing and substantially equal attraction forces form inside each opening, wherein the attraction forces between the static element and the movable element of the motor is minimized; and a plurality of coiled windings positioned adjacent to the movable element, to receive the electric current and produce a magnetic flux circuit in the movable element and a force on the movable element in the direction of the path of movement, wherein said magnetizable movable carriage element is on a first portion of said motor, while said static element having said plurality of magnets and said coiled windings are on a separate second portion of said motor; and wherein the magnetic flux circuit in the movable element is transverse to the direction of force on the movable element.
