View Patent ↗The present disclosure comprises an inner rotor and an outer rotor, a stator disposed between the inner rotor and the outer rotor, and a variable stator core provided to control a magnetic path between inside and outside of the stator.
1. A dual-rotor motor comprising:
an inner rotor and an outer rotor;
a stator disposed between the inner rotor and the outer rotor; and
a variable stator core provided to control a magnetic path between inside and outside of the stator,
wherein the stator is disposed so that inner teeth facing the inner rotor and outer teeth facing the outer rotor are aligned in a radial direction,
wherein as the variable stator core moves between a first space, which is formed between an outer slot and an inner slot of the stator, and a second space, which is formed between the outer teeth and the inner teeth, the variable stator core is provided to control the magnetic path between the inner teeth and the outer teeth,
wherein the first space is provided with a recess portion recessed further towards inside of the radial direction than the second space, and
wherein the variable stator core is installed to reciprocate between the recess portion of the first space and the second space along a path that allows both radial and circumferential displacement.
2. The dual-rotor motor of claim 1 , wherein the variable stator core is configured to have a same width as a radial width of the second space, and the first space is configured to have a larger width than the radial width of the second space.
3. The dual-rotor motor of claim 1 , wherein at least one side of the stator is provided with a guide plate guiding a movement of the variable stator core, the variable stator core is provided with a guide protrusion penetrating the guide plate to be guided to the guide plate, and a carrier is installed so that the variable stator core applies a force to the guide protrusion to reciprocate between the recess portion of the first space and the second space.
4. The dual-rotor motor of claim 3 , wherein the carrier is formed in a ring shape that is rotated about a rotational axis of the motor to link a plurality of guide protrusions, and wherein the dual-rotor motor further comprises an actuator formed to allow the carrier to rotate about the rotational axis of the motor.
5. The dual-rotor motor of claim 4 , wherein the actuator is installed to be controlled by a controller which controls the motor,
wherein the controller is configured to:
position the variable stator core in the recess portion of the first space when the inner rotor and the outer rotor rotate independently of each other; and
control the actuator to position the variable stator core in the second space when the inner rotor and the outer rotor rotate at the same speed as each other.
6. The dual-rotor motor of claim 3 , wherein the variable stator core comprises:
a core housing having the guide protrusion; and
a laminated core laminating a plurality of grain-oriented silicon steel sheets so as to be inserted into the core housing.
7. The dual-rotor motor of claim 6 , wherein a grain-oriented silicon steel sheet of the plurality of grain-oriented silicon steel sheets of the laminated core is laminated by positioning the variable stator core in the second space, so that when the outer teeth and the inner teeth are connected in a radial direction, the grain-oriented silicon steel sheet of the plurality of grain-oriented silicon steel sheets of the laminated core is laminated such that the reluctance is minimized.
8. A dual-rotor motor comprising:
an inner rotor and an outer rotor;
a stator disposed between the inner rotor and the outer rotor; and
a variable stator core provided to control a magnetic path between inside and outside of the stator,
wherein the variable stator core is configured to block the magnetic path between the inside and the outside of the stator when the inner rotor and the outer rotor rotate independently of each other, and wherein the variable stator core is further configured to connect the magnetic path between the inside and the outside of the stator when the inner rotor and the outer rotor rotate at the same speed as each other.
9. The dual-rotor motor of claim 8 , wherein the variable stator core is configured to connect the magnetic path between the inner teeth and the outer teeth aligned along the radial direction of the stator when the inner rotor and the outer rotor rotate at the same speed as each other.
10. The dual-rotor motor of claim 9 , wherein the variable stator core is configured to be positioned between an inner slot and an outer slot aligned to each other along the radial direction of the stator when the inner rotor and the outer rotor rotate independently of each other, and wherein the stator provides a space that forms a blocked state of the magnetic path between the inside and the outside even when the variable stator core is positioned between the inner slot and the outer slot.
