OUTER STATOR OF RECIPROCATING ENGINE AND RECIPROCATING ENGINE
An outer stator is provided in a reciprocating engine together with an inner stator and a mover, that has a cylindrical shape and is placed around the mover coaxially with an axis of the mover, and that forms a magnetic path between itself and the inner stator via a field magnet of the mover, the outer stator includes an aperture portion that is formed in an inner circumferential surface thereof that faces the mover; an internal space that opens via the aperture portion, and in which a wound wire coil is placed; and undercut portions that, in a cross section including the axis, are provided at both end positions along the axis, and that are recessed from the inner circumferential surface towards the outer side in a radial direction.
1 . An outer stator of a reciprocating engine, that is provided in a reciprocating engine together with an inner stator and a mover, that has a cylindrical shape and is placed around the mover coaxially with an axis of the mover, and that forms a magnetic path between itself and the inner stator via a field magnet of the mover, the outer stator of the reciprocating engine comprising:
an aperture portion that is formed in an inner circumferential surface thereof that faces the mover;
an internal space that opens via the aperture portion, and in which a wound wire coil is placed; and
undercut portions that, in a cross section including the axis, are provided at both end positions along the axis, and that are recessed from the inner circumferential surface towards the outer side in a radial direction.
2 . The outer stator of a reciprocating engine according to claim 1 , further comprising an expanding space portion between the aperture portion and the internal space, the expanding space portion spreading from the aperture portion towards the internal space portion when the expanding space portion is seen in the cross section.
3 . A reciprocating engine comprising:
an inner stator having an axis;
a mover that is placed coaxially around the inner stator, and that moves reciprocatingly along the axis; and
the outer stator of a reciprocating engine according to claim 1 that is placed coaxially around the mover, wherein
the mover has: a field magnet portion; and restoring magnet portions that are provided respectively at both end positions along the axis of the field magnet portion, and wherein
the respective restoring magnet portions are each positioned such that, when the mover arrives at a stroke end position where a load on the reciprocating engine is at maximum, they face the undercut portions.
4 . The reciprocating engine according to claim 3 , wherein
the outer stator is further provided with an expanding space portion between the aperture portion and the internal space, the expanding space portion spreading from the aperture portion towards the internal space portion when the expanding space portion is seen in the cross section.
