MOTOR-WHEEL Russian patent published in 1995 - IPC

FIELD: transportation means. SUBSTANCE: motor-wheel has armature 2 with magnetic circuit 3 put on hollow axle which carries two groups of electromagnets 4.1 and 4.2. Field structure 5 is anchored mobile on axle 1 and has magnetic circuit 6 with permanent magnets 7 arranged evenly with alternating polarity. Distribution collector presenting current conducting plates 9, 10, 11 uniformly placed on insulation base over circumference is put on rotor 5. Every other plate of plates 9 and 10 is put in group and is interconnected accordingly. Ring contact is electrically coupled with one group of plates 9, the other group of plates 10 is connected to first lead of source of regulated voltage through case. Distribution collector can be positioned both on rotor and on stator. Consequently inverted structure with permanent magnets on rotor is realized. EFFECT: simplified design due to arrangement of permanent magnets on rotor, enhanced capacity and speed thanks to feed of greater current, improved heating conditions. 15 cl, 3 dwg
