A single phase permanent magnet motor includes a stator and a rotor. The stator includes a stator corer and windings. The stator corer includes a yoke portion and stator teeth. Each stator tooth includes a winding portion and a pole shoe connected to an end of the winding portion. Each pole shoe includes a pole face. The pole face defines a first positioning notch at a middle thereof. Each of the pole faces further defines at least one second positioning notch. Said at least one second positioning notches in one of pole shoe are located at the same side of the first positioning notch of the corresponding one pole shoe. The first and second positioning notches are configured such that an initial position of the rotor received in the space of the stator is offset from a dead point position.

According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a rotor includes a shaft, a rotor core including an inner core and a plurality of outer cores, a mold resin unit covering, the mold resin unit, and a plurality of permanent magnets. The mold resin unit includes a gate mark in a region between the outer cores adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction, and the gate mark is provided in all regions between the adjacent outer cores or in a region between the outer cores, the region being adjacent to a region between the even-numbered adjacent outer cores in which the gate mark is not disposed in all the regions between the adjacent outer cores.

The invention relates to a geared motor comprising a first brushless electric motor part having a stator, a rotor and a drive shaft, a second part having an output shaft and a reduction gear mechanism and an electronic part. The reduction gear mechanism comprises an output shaft, a worm and a toothed wheel designed to be engaged by the worm and to drive the output shaft in rotation. The geared motor comprises at least one rolling guide bearing disposed on the drive shaft and a multipolar magnet for measuring the position of the rotor. The rolling bearing is disposed between the measurement magnet and the worm such that the electric motor can be controlled depending on the measurement of the position of the rotor.

A rotor core of a rotor includes a salient pole portion; air gap portions that extend from the permanent magnet to an outer peripheral surface of the rotor core; notch grooves formed such that the outer peripheral surface of the rotor core is notched; and a bridge portion that is formed between the outer peripheral surface and the air gap portions. The notch grooves are disposed such that the bridge portion is sandwiched between the notch grooves and the air gap portion, and, a notch minimum outside diameter portion in which a distance from the rotation center of the rotor core is the minimum is formed on a plane perpendicular to a rotation axis. The notch minimum outside diameter portion is located at a position closer to a center side of the salient pole portion than the air gap portions in the circumferential direction of the rotor.

A flat-type effect module includes a first flat motor and an effect wheel assembly. The first flat motor has a first stator to generate a magnetic field when energized, and a first rotor arranged outside the first stator in a sleeving mode. The effect wheel assembly is fixed to the first rotor, and the effect wheel assembly includes a wheel body for generating a light effect which is provided with effect areas for intercepting a light beam to change the color and/or shape thereof. According to the present invention, no rotating shaft, such as the traditional rotating shaft motor has, exists on the first flat motor, the effect wheel assembly in the present invention is directly fixed to the first rotor, so that the height of the rotating shaft can be reduced and more effect elements can be arranged.

A brushless motor is provided that includes a rotor, a stator, a bearing member, an attraction magnet, and a yoke. The rotor includes a shaft, a rotor yoke that holds the shaft and covers a peripheral surface of the shaft, and a magnet disposed around an outer periphery of the rotor yoke. The stator is disposed around an outer periphery of the rotor. An inner wall of a housing serving as a bearing member rotatably holds the shaft with a bearing. The attraction magnet is disposed at an end portion of the inner wall at which the rotor yoke holds the shaft, and produces an attraction force to attract the rotor yoke. The yoke supplements and enhances the attraction force produced by the attraction magnet.

A system and method for integrated charging a vehicle includes a hybrid excitation machine, operable as a traction motor and including a rotor separated by an air gap from a stator with AC windings. An AC utility line power supply is connected to the AC windings providing an electrical current to the vehicle and inducing a magnetic flux across the air gap and in the rotor. A short circuit, an open circuit, or a DC voltage may be applied to a DC winding in the stator to reduce the magnetic flux into the rotor. A field coil in the rotor may be excited with a DC voltage using a secondary coil on the rotor in a traction mode. The secondary coil is excited by the stator windings using field-oriented control in a “self-excited machine” embodiment, and is directly excited by a separate primary coil in an “externally-excited machine” embodiment.
