CONTROLLABLE CASCADE ELECTRIC DRIVE Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC H02K17/34 H02K51/00 H02K16/00 

FIELD: electricity.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to cascade electric rotary actuator drives and may be used for production of gearless drives with frequency adjusted from 0 to double nominal at stable nominal rotation speed including reversible and other type drives. The proposed controllable cascade electric drive contains two electric motors mounted coaxially on the housing. Each motor is composed of a rotor rigidly mounted on its shaft and a stator. The stator of one of the electric motors is designed as stationary and is mounted on the housing while the second motor stator is capable of free motion relative of the shaft. According to the invention concept, it additionally contains a fixture ring rigidly mounted on the shaft of the stationary stator motor. Mounted on the fixture ring are two e-magnetic clutches one of them capable of contact with the friction plate that has a projection fitting into the movable stator body concavity which is coaxial to the said projection. The other e-magnetic clutch is capable of contact with its friction plate and of connection, with the help of the said plate, to the movable stator electric motor shaft that has a splined recess for the friction plate to fit in. The working areas of the above two friction plates that come in contact with the above e-magnetic clutches are equal to provide for identical performance of the said e-magnetic clutches. Mounted on the drive housing is a third e-magnetic clutch capable of contact with a third friction plate that has a projection fitting into the movable stator body having a concavity which is coaxial to the said projection of the third friction plate.

EFFECT: extension of the range of the cascade electric drive adjustment due to provision for generation of high rotation speeds close to double the nominal one at constant torque value or possibility to generate a doubled torque value at constant rotation speed.
