发明名称 Dual radial gap motor-generator structure
摘要 A radial gap motor/generator that may be air or liquid cooled. The motor/generator has a stator in radially spaced relation to at least one thin annular induction structure. The motor/generator has at least two spaced apart annular rings each having an inner surface and outer surface, the annular rings having a permanent magnet structure embedded between the inner surface and outer surface of the annular rings. The motor/generator has at least two spaced apart radial gaps, the first gap between the first annular ring and the induction structure and the second gap between the second annular ring and the induction structure, the stator being disposed between the gaps. The motor/generator may include multiple gaps and multiple annular induction structures to increase the overall power density of the system.

主权项 1. A brushless electric motor/generator comprising: a) a stator having a central axis, an inner circumferential surface, and an outer circumferential surface, b) an induction structure of magnetically permeable material, juxtaposed the outer circumferential surface of the stator, the induction structure comprising at least two independent induction modules mounted in a radial array around and perpendicular to the central axis of the stator, each induction module having at least one wire wound coil segment, the at least one wire wound coil segment having two opposed ends and the at least one wire wound coil segment being wound around its respective induction module, c) a rotor having an inner surface, d) at least two spaced apart annular rings each having an inner surface and outer surface, the annular rings having a permanent magnet structure comprising a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart magnets, the magnets being disposed between the inner surface and outer surface of the annular rings, the respective North and South poles of the magnets placed adjacent one another and disposed proximate the induction structure in reversing polarities, e) means for mounting the rotor and stator to one another for relative coaxial rotation about the central axis and in a manner such that there is at least two spaced apart radial gaps, the first gap between the first annular ring and the induction structure and the second gap between the second annular ring and the induction structure, the stator being disposed between the gaps, f) a heat sink disposed about and encircling one end of induction structure, g) a polymer over mold of thermally conductive material, and wherein the polymer over mold secures the at least two induction modules, corresponding wire wound segments, and the heat sink in relative position, the polymer defining a thermal link from the wound segments to the heat sink.
