Abstract

Provided are an amorphous split core stator, which maximizes an opposing area between a plurality of split cores and magnets, increases a fill factor of coils, and which is molded by using amorphous metallic powder to thereby minimize an eddy current loss (or a core loss), and an axial gap type motor using the same. The axial gap type amorphous split core motor includes: a rotating shaft whose both ends are rotatably supported; first and second annular yokes the center of each of which is combined with the rotating shaft and that are placed at an interval therebetween; first and second rotors having a plurality of magnets that are mounted on the inner surfaces of the first and second yokes with polarities opposite to each other; and a stator having a plurality of split cores that are placed between the first and second rotors and on each of which a coil is wound, in which the split cores are molded by using amorphous metallic powder.

First claim

wherein the split cores are molded by using amorphous metallic powder.

2. The axial gap type amorphous split core motor according to claim 1 , wherein the split cores are molded by mixing the amorphous metallic powder made into a plate shape with crystalline metal powder with excellent soft magnetic properties and made into a spherical shape, in order to increase permeability and a packing density.

3. The axial gap type amorphous split core motor according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of magnets that are coupled to the first and second rotors, and the plurality of the split cores that are coupled to the stator are formed into a fan shape, respectively, and are placed radially around the rotating shaft, in order to maximize mutual opposite areas.

4. The axial gap type amorphous split core motor according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of split cores form a trench-shaped coil winding space along a fan-shaped lateral surface so that coils are wound in the inner sides of the plurality of split cores.

5. The axial gap type amorphous split core motor according to claim 4 , wherein the plurality of split cores comprise a plurality of bobbins that surround the coil winding space, respectively, and that are mutually separably connected between the adjacent split cores.

6. The axial gap type amorphous split core motor according to claim 5 , wherein the plurality of bobbins are assembled with the mutually adjacent bobbins through coupling of irregularities.

7. The axial gap type amorphous split core motor according to claim 5 , wherein the stator has an auxiliary fixing member having a plurality of fan-shaped through-holes into which the plurality of split cores are radially inserted and fixed.

8. The axial gap type amorphous split core motor according to claim 5 , wherein the plurality of split cores are completely assembled through a resin molding process at a state where the plurality of split cores are assembled by using the bobbins.

9.
