Three-phase DC brushless motor and winding method
View Patent ↗A three-phase DC brushless motor and coil winding method provide a coil winding enabling consistent starting with PWM sensorless driving by suppressing the DC offset component of the induced voltage resulting from an imbalance in the motor coil windings. The method of winding the armature winding of the three-phase DC brushless motor renders the difference in mutual inductance substantially zero.
1. A three-phase DC brushless motor comprising:
3N (where N is a positive integer) stators arranged in a star pattern;
a rotor having 4N permanent magnets arranged with alternating north and south poles;
a first-phase coil wound to every third stator;
a second-phase coil wound to the next every third stator; and
a third-phase coil wound to the yet next every third stator;
wherein the first-phase coil winds in the positive direction around the last first-phase stator, then winds one extra turn in the negative direction around the last third-phase stator, and then exits from a predetermined position between the last second-phase stator and the last third-phase stator;
the second-phase coil winds in the positive direction around the last second-phase stator and then exits from a predetermined position; and
the third-phase coil winds in the positive direction around the last third-phase stator, then winds one extra turn in the positive direction around the first first-phase stator, and then exits from a predetermined position.
