Definitions

  • This invention relates to a dynamo-electric machine which at least in a preferred form can provide a variable power coupling.
  • the present invention is a dynamo-electric machine which may be used to transfer power between an input rotor shaft and an output rotor shaft and provide a variable angular velocity ratio or torque ratio.
  • a dynamo-electric machine comprises two wound rotors disposed adjacent each other, means for providing a common field for the two rotors, means for connecting electrically the rotors' windings and means for adjusting the coupling of current to or from at least one of the rotary windings relative to the field so as to vary the exchange of power between the rotors.
  • the rotors are termed the input rotor and the output rotor and fitted with an input shaft and an output shaft respectively.
  • the said means for adjusting may comprise means for shifting the field but in preferred embodiments of the invention at least one of the rotors may be provided with a commutator associated with brushes which can be rotated.
  • a dynamo electric heteropolar machine comprises two wound rotors disposed adjacent each other, a system providing a common magnetic circuit in which the rotors rotate, terminal connections for the two rotors and means for adjusting at least one of the terminal connections.
  • the said terminal connections may comprise a commutator having brush gear which is rotatable relative to the axis of the respective rotor.
  • Figures 1 and 2 illustrate in side section and partial end elevation respectively part of a dynamoelectric machine according to the invention; and Figure 3 illustrates an electrical circuit including the dynamo-electric machine.
  • a dynamo-electric machine which may be termed “Engudyne”, according to the present invention comprises the heteropolar direct current machine with two wound rotors.
  • One of the rotors is termed the input rotor and the other is termed the output rotor.
  • the rotors are located near each other and in a common magnetic circuit provided by a system of field windings and magnets.
  • the two rotor windings and the field windings are electrically connected to each other through electrical connection devices, of which one is located on the shaft of the input rotor and the other is located on the shaft of the output rotor.
  • These electrical connection devices are associated with brushes which may be movable or adjustable and which bear on the electrical connection devices.
  • Associated with the machine is an electrical circuit which enables current generated by the action of one of the rotors relative to the field to provide energisation for the other rotor, which acts as a motor in conjunction with the field.
  • the result of rotating the brushes for the input rotor is that the currents in the input rotor are moved relative to the common magnetic field.
  • the torque developed is proportional to the current in the rotor and to the common magnetic field strength, but the constant of proportionality is altered by rotating the brushes.
  • the emf generated in the rotor is proportional to the speed of the rotor and to the common magnetic field, but. again the constant of proportionality is altered by rotating the brushes.
  • the rotors in the absence of losses, rotate at the same speed, develop equal and opposite torques, and have the same terminal voltage.
  • the input rotor experiences the same magnetic field as the output rotor but reduced by a constant factor determined by the brush angle. This rotor therefore develops less torque (by this factor) so that in the absence of losses, it must go faster than the output rotor.
  • the product of torque and speed must be equal for hoth rotors, neglecting losses.
  • the brush rotation controls speed ratio or torque ratio without constraining the total power transfer.
  • the machine is a d.c. machine which has commutators for both rotors.
  • the machine may be feasible to use other means of connecting electrical power to and from the rotors, such as for example slip-rings.
  • static commutating circuits including thyristors, may be used to achieve the same effect as the rotation of brushes relative to a commutator ring. It is feasible to achieve a similar effect to that of shifting the brush gear by the rotation of the field system but in practice this expedient is much less convenient.
  • the machine may furthermore be feasible to constitute the machine as an a.c. generator and motor.
  • the a.c. generated by the input rotor would be full-wave rectified to d.c.
  • the d.c. would supply the field windings.
  • a thyristor inversion circuit would then supply a.c. to the output rotor.
  • the frequency of the output a.c. would be controlled electronically in the thyristor circuit and this would effectively perform the same function as rotating the brushes in the d.c. version.
  • the circuit may incorporate a system of diodes in a bridge network, switches and other control devices. These devices may be used to control the direction of current flow in the field windings and the rotor windings and for various other purposes.
  • the direction of rotation of an output rotor may be reversed with respect to the rotation of the input rotor.
  • the direction of power flow can be made one way or both ways independently of the control of velocity ratio and torque ratio.
