Abstract

A magnetic geared motor includes a stator including a plurality of teeth that produce a magnetomotive force, a first rotor that rotates by the magnetomotive force of the stator, and a second rotor that, in response to rotation of the first rotor, rotates at a lower speed than the first rotor. The first rotor, the second rotor, and the stator are disposed coaxial to each other, and a plurality of magnets of different polarities are disposed in respective slot openings present between each two adjacent teeth.

Claims (34)

1. A magnetic geared motor, comprising:

a stator that includes a plurality of teeth;

a first rotor that rotates by a magnetomotive force of the stator; and

a second rotor that rotates at a lower speed than the first rotor, wherein

the first rotor, the second rotor, and the stator are disposed coaxial to each other,

a plurality of magnets of different polarities are disposed in respective slot openings present between each two adjacent teeth of the plurality of teeth,

the plurality of teeth each include a magnetic pole portion that projects in a radial direction,

the plurality of magnets include at least a first magnet and a second magnet, and

the magnetic pole portion, the first magnet, and the second magnet are arrayed cyclically in a circumferential direction such that any adjacent two of the magnetic pole portion, the first magnet, and the second magnet have opposite polarities.

2. The magnetic geared motor according to claim 1 , wherein

a total number of first magnets and a total number of second magnets are each identical to a total number of slots in the stator, the first magnets each being the first magnet, the second magnets each being the second magnet.

3. The magnetic geared motor according to claim 1 , wherein

the first rotor, the second rotor, and the stator are disposed in this order from an inner side in a radial direction toward an outer side in the radial direction,

the first rotor includes a plurality of magnetic pole pairs disposed in a circumferential direction,

the second rotor includes a plurality of magnetic pole pieces that oppose the plurality of magnetic pole pairs and are disposed in the circumferential direction, and

the plurality of teeth oppose the plurality of magnetic pole pieces.

4. The magnetic geared motor according to claim 1 , wherein

the stator includes a winding coil, and

the plurality of teeth are each an electromagnet that produces a magnet force in response to electricity passing through the winding coil.

5. The magnetic geared motor according to claim 4 , wherein

the winding coil is a concentrated winding coil.

6. A magnetic geared motor, comprising:

a stator that includes a plurality of teeth and produces a magnetomotive force;

a first rotor that rotates by the magnetomotive force; and

a second rotor that, in response to rotation of the first rotor, rotates at a lower speed than the first rotor, wherein

the first rotor, the second rotor, and the stator are disposed coaxial to each other,

the plurality of teeth each include a plurality of magnetic pole portions that each project in a radial direction,

a plurality of magnets are disposed in the stator,

the plurality of magnets include a first magnet and a second magnet, the first magnet being disposed in a slot opening present between each two adjacent teeth of the plurality of teeth, the second magnet being disposed between each two adjacent magnetic pole portions of the plurality of magnetic pole portions in each of the plurality of teeth, and

the first magnet and the second magnet are disposed in a circumferential direction such that the first magnet and the second magnet have an identical polarity.

7. The magnetic geared motor according to claim 6 , wherein

a total number of the plurality of magnets is twice a total number of slots in the stator.

8. The magnetic geared motor according to claim 6 , wherein

a total number of the plurality of magnets is three times a total number of slots in the stator.
