Builtin Asynchronous Electric Motor for a Light Passenger Automobile Motor-Wheel.

摘要

The most significant advantages of asynchronous electric motors over other types of electric motors are their high reliability and low weight, dimensions and cost, which is very important for vehicle propulsion plants. The use of asynchronous electric motors in electric transmissions simplifies maintenance due to the absence of a sliding contact, simplifies self-regulation of the difference in wheel speeds when cornering and makes it possible to produce a better design for the wheel and electric motor due to the smaller size of the latter. When electric motors are used as the wheel drive in vehicles an intensive desire can be seen to provide an arrangement for the system with which the electric motor will be built into the wheel hub and the structural elements of the wheel and motor will form a single unit. These designs have been successfully realized in the motor-wheel chassis of heavy trucks and self-propelled trolleys. The advantages and disadvantages of the use of the motor-wheel type of design in a light passenger automobile are discussed. (ERA citation 05:033828)
