Hybrid step motor

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a step motor which rotates by using magnetic field and electricity, and more particularly to a hybrid step motor which has low iron loss and high output efficiency with scaled inner and outer diameters of stator, rotor assembly and magnet under the condition that silicon steel sheets are unsaturated.

2. Description of the Prior Art

Many products are provided with a motor which is mainly provided for driving the structure to rotate, so as to control the continuous rotation, or angle change, or even the extension and positioning of the length of the structure. The quality of the motor lies on the proportion of an input power to an output efficiency, however, the size of the stator, rotor assembly and magnet of the current motor is unstandardized, and the specifications of the motors manufactured by the manufacturers are usually made according to the performance and convenience of processing, or integer. As a result, the efficiencies of such motors are different, and the specifications are not optimal, so that such motors have low efficiency and large iron loss, and will waste energy, or even a larger motor is needed to finish the same work, so that the cost is relatively high.

The present invention is an improved hybrid step motor which comprises a stator, a rotor assembly and a magnet, and the rotor assembly is disposed in the stator after clipping the magnet.

Therefore, finding a step motor which utilizes the smallest input power to produce the largest output efficiency so as to reduce iron loss has become an important issue for the manufacturers.

The present invention has arisen to mitigate and/or obviate the afore-described disadvantages.

The technical problems that needed to be solved:

The size of the stator, rotor assembly and magnet of the conventional hybrid step motor is unstandardized and unscaled, the efficiencies of the motors manufactured by the manufacturers are different, and the specifications are not optimal, so that such motors have low efficiency and will waste energy.

The technical characteristics for solving the problems:

The present invention provides a hybrid step motor which comprises a stator, a rotor assembly, a magnet and a mandrel. The rotor assembly and the magnet are mounted on the mandrel and are disposed in the stator. The proportion of a stator outer diameter of the stator to a stator inner diameter is 1:0.475 to 1:0.6, for example, when the stator outer diameter is 55 mm, the stator inner diameter is 30.4398 mm. The proportion of the stator outer diameter to a rotor outer diameter is 1:0.5125 to 1:0.5875, for example, when the rotor outer diameter is 29.945 mm, a first rotor length is 13 mm, and a second rotor length is 13 mm. The proportion of the first rotor thickness to a magnet thickness to the second rotor thickness is 0.236:0.09:0.236 optimally, for example, when the first thickness and second rotor thickness are 13 mm, the magnet thickness is 5 mm. In addition, the proportion of the rotor outer diameter to a magnet outer diameter is 0.54:0.45, for example, when the rotor outer diameter is 29.945 mm, the magnet outer diameter is 25 mm. By such arrangements, the optimal proportion is formed and the output efficiency is improved.

The advantages of the present invention compared with the prior art:

The scaled stator outer diameter, stator inner diameter, rotor thickness, rotor outer diameter, magnet outer diameter and magnet thickness of the stator, rotor assembly and magnet can obtain the best specification configuration, and can improve the output efficiency and reduce iron loss.
