Abstract

A motor with power-generating coil set including a base, a rotor, a driving circuit and a power-storing unit is disclosed. The base has a shaft coupling portion and a supporting surface, wherein the supporting surface surrounds the shaft coupling portion, and a driving coil set and a power-generating coil set are disposed above the supporting surface. The rotor has a carrier, a shaft and a magnetic member, wherein the carrier has a coupling surface, the shaft rotatably couples with the shaft coupling portion of the base, and the magnetic member is mounted on the coupling surface and has a magnetic face facing the driving coil set and the power-generating coil set. The driving circuit electrically connects with and sends a driving signal to the driving coil set. The power-storing unit electrically connects with and stores electric power generated by the power-generating coil set.

Claims (12)

1. A motor with power-generating coil set, comprising:

a base having a shaft coupling portion and a supporting surface, wherein the supporting surface surrounds the shaft coupling portion, and a driving coil set and a power-generating coil set are disposed above the supporting surface;

a rotor having a carrier, a shaft and a magnetic member, wherein the carrier has a coupling surface, the shaft rotatably couples with the shaft coupling portion of the base, and the magnetic member is mounted on the coupling surface and has a magnetic face facing the driving coil set and the power-generating coil set;

a driving circuit electrically connecting with the driving coil set for sending a driving signal to the driving coil set; and

a power-storing unit electrically connecting with the power-generating coil set for storing electric power generated by the power-generating coil set.

2. The motor with power-generating coil set as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the driving coil set and the power-generating coil set axially extend in one height range.

3. The motor with power-generating coil set as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a first air gap is formed between the driving coil set and the magnetic member, a second air gap is formed between the power-generating coil set and the magnetic member, and the first air gap partially overlaps the second air gap in an axial direction of the rotor.

4. The motor with power-generating coil set as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a radial distance between the driving coil set and the shaft coupling portion is shorter than another radial distance between the power-generating coil set and the shaft coupling portion.

5. The motor with power-generating coil set as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a radial distance between the power-generating coil set and the shaft coupling portion is shorter than another radial distance between the driving coil set and the shaft coupling portion.

6. The motor with power-generating coil set as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a radial distance between the driving coil set and the shaft coupling portion equals to another radial distance between the power-generating coil set and the shaft coupling portion, with coils of the driving coil set and coils of the power-generating coil set surrounding the shaft coupling portion in a stagger way.

7. The motor with power-generating coil set as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, in radial directions of the rotor, a distributed area of the magnetic face of the magnetic member totally covers distributed areas of the driving coil set and the power-generating coil set.

8. The motor with power-generating coil set as claimed in claim 1 , wherein coils of the driving coil set and power-generating coil set are coil circuits formed on a board by circuit-printing or electroforming, and the driving coil set and power-generating coil set are disposed above the supporting surface through the board.
