View Patent ↗The modular conical stator pole provides an improved conical stator assembly on electrical machines. The improved conical stator pole assembly comprises a plurality of stator poles, each pole comprising an assembly having a coil secured on a soft magnetic composites (SMC) stator pole tooth by inserting a winding support through the open core of the coil and attaching a back iron and a stator face to either end of the winding support. Each stator pole having a parallelogram shaped cross section for forming a conical shaped rotor space when the stator poles are assembled having the back irons bearing against each other to space the coils apart and form a conical shaped outside profile of the stator pole assembly. The conical stator having a small end and a big end. The tooth comprising a winding support integrally molded with either the back iron or the face.
1. A conical modular stator comprising a plurality of stator poles assembled about an axis, each stator pole comprising:
a plurality of individual teeth, each tooth molded of soft magnetic composites, each tooth comprising a face, a body and a back iron, the tooth face having a concave inner surface formed at a non-parallel orientation to the axis, the back iron having a trapezoidal shape; and
a first coil on the body of the each tooth, the first coil comprising a plurality of turns of wire, the first coil disposed intermediate the face and back iron wherein the back iron holds the coil in spaced relation to the axis, and wherein the face on each tooth further includes a pocket, the tooth body having a first end adjacent the back iron and a second end spaced from the first end, the tooth body second end extending into the pocket, and wherein the second end of the tooth body has a concave surface complementary to the tooth face concave inner surface.
2. The invention of claim 1 , wherein the soft magnetic composites comprise ferrous magnetic metal powder particles.
3. The invention of claim 1 , wherein the soft magnetic composites comprise ferrous particles processed to be generally mutually insulated.
4. The invention of claim 1 , wherein the coil comprises a bobbin wound with the plurality of turns of wire separately from the tooth, the bobbin comprising an open core, the body adapted to extend through the open core wherein the bobbin holds the turns of wire removably on the body intermediate the face and back iron.
5. The invention of claim 1 wherein the inner side of each face comprises a generally concave shape.
6. The invention of claim 1 further comprising an electrical device electrically connected to the coil on the first tooth.
