Abstract

Described herein is a ball joints universal rotary motor, a manufacturing method and a working mechanism thereof. The ball joints universal rotary motor comprises a housing, a spherical-cap shaped stator body, and a rotor body configured to be secured within the stator body. The stator body is made from a permanent magnet. The rotor body comprises multiple layers of armatures and multiple spacer layers. The multiple layers of armatures are symmetrically distributed along the axis of the rotor body. A spacer layer is provided between two adjacent layers of armatures. The multiple layers of armatures and multiple spacer layers are securely connected by a bolt. The bolt and the rotor body are axially connected. The rotor body is of a spherical shape. Each layer of the armatures is wound with two layers of coils: a first layer and a second layer. The motor as provided is configured to realize movement in multiple directions. The present disclosure provides an embodiment of a motor with a pump assembly, and another embodiment of a motor without a pump assembly. Examples of applications of the present disclosure include joints and areas of an intelligent bionic robot, various industrial devices, and household appliances.

Claims (11)

1. A method of making a ball joint universal rotary motor, comprising:

magnetizing a spherical-cap shaped permanent magnet into a plurality of magnetic poles to form a stator body;

manufacturing a rotor body by cutting silicon steel plate material into multiple silicon steel laminations with varying diameters, and stacking multiple silicon steel laminations to form multiple layers of armatures;

connecting the multiple layers of armatures by a bolt passing through the armatures and spacer layers, wherein a spacer layers is provided between two adjacent layers of armatures;

winding a first layer of coils on a rotor core of each layer of armature, wherein the first layer of coils is wound on the same layer of armature;

winding a second layer of coils on a rotor core of each layer of armature, wherein the second layer of coils of one layer of armature is configured to be electrically connected with another second layer of coils on another layer of armature that is symmetrically distributed in equal distance from a center of the rotor body with respect to the one layer of armature;

securing the rotor body within the stator body.

2. The method of making the ball joint universal rotary motor of claim 1 , further comprising finishing treating an outer surface of the multiple layers of armatures, so that the overall outer surface of the multiple layers of armatures substantially approaches a spherical surface.

3. The method of making the ball joint universal rotary motor of claim 1 , further comprising manufacturing a housing of the motor, wherein the housing comprises two layers, an inner layer made of a magnetic material and an outer shielding layer made of a metal material.

4. The method of making the ball joint universal rotary motor of claim 3 , further comprising securely connecting the stator body within the housing by bonding an outer wall of the stator body on an inner wall of the inner layer of the housing.

5. The method of making the ball joint universal rotary motor of claim 3 , further comprising installing a pump assembly on the housing.
