We, Bajaj Electricals Limited, an Indian National, of, 45/47, Veer Nariman Road, Fort, Mumbai - 400001, Maharashtra, India.
The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed:
FIELD OF INVENTION
The present disclosure generally relates to an electric motor for ceiling fans. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a stator lamination deployed for a single-phase induction motor of a ceiling fan.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This section is intended to provide information relating to the field of the invention and thus, any approach or functionality described below should not be assumed to be qualified as prior art merely by its inclusion in this section.
Ceiling fans are commonly known to employ an electric motor for rotating a plurality of fan blades, and thus generating an airflow. It is commonly known that in conventional ceiling fans, a single-phase induction motor is employed as the electric motor because of their low cost and simple construction. A single-phase induction motor is commonly known to include a stator assembly and a rotor assembly, wherein the stator assembly is a stationary component, while the rotor assembly is a squirrel-cage type moving component of the single-phase induction motor.
It is typically known that the stator assembly comprises of a stack of stator laminations arranged together, structured and arranged to allow routing of main windings as well as auxiliary windings therethrough. Conventionally, a stator lamination comprises a plurality of main winding slots and a plurality of auxiliary winding slots, for allowing the passing of the main windings and the auxiliary windings therethrough. Notably, the plurality of main winding slots and the plurality of auxiliary winding slots are defined at different radial lengths in the stator lamination.
It may further be noted that an efficiency of the single-phase induction motor highly depends on copper losses and core losses, which are required to be
optimized for increased efficiency thereof. For reducing the copper losses, it is required to reduce current in winding and resistance of the winding thus an optimized amount of copper of the main windings and the auxiliary windings is required, which may result in increase in area of the plurality of main winding slots and the plurality of auxiliary winding slots. However, a substantially increase in the area of the plurality of main winding slots and the plurality of auxiliary winding slots, may cause increase in the core losses. An increase in any of the copper losses and/or core losses causes reduction in overall efficiency of the single-phase induction motor.
Accordingly in light of the aforementioned drawbacks and several other limitations inherent in the existing art, there is a well felt need to provide improved stator lamination with optimized size of the plurality of main winding slots and the plurality of auxiliary winding slots, to optimize and balance copper losses and core losses, for increasing an overall efficiency of the single-phase induction motor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
In the following description, for the purposes of explanation, various specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of embodiments of the present invention. It will be apparent, however, that embodiments of the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. Several features described hereafter can each be used independently of one another or with any combination of other features. An individual feature may not address any of the problems discussed above or might address only one of the problems discussed above. Some of the problems discussed above might not be fully addressed by any of the features described herein. Exemplified embodiments of the present invention are described below, as illustrated in various drawings in which like reference numerals refer to the same parts throughout the different drawings.
Figure 1 shows a schematic of a single-phase induction motor [100] employed in a ceiling fan, in accordance with the concepts of the present disclosure. Although, the concepts of the present disclosure are described as applied to the single-phase induction motor [100] employed in a ceiling fan, it may be obvious to person skilled in the art that the concepts of the present disclosure may also extend to the single-phase induction motor [100] employed in any other household equipment. As is commonly known, the ceiling fan employs an electric motor, for example the single-phase induction motor [100], to rotate an arrangement of fan blades, for generating airflow. An efficiency of the single-phase induction motor [100] is required to be optimized, for improved performance of the ceiling fans. Accordingly, the present disclosure discloses the
single-phase induction motor [100] with improved overall efficiency. The single-phase induction motor [100] includes an inner stator assembly [102] and an outer rotor assembly [104].
The stator assembly [102] is a stationary component that supports a main winding [106] and an auxiliary winding [108], The stator assembly [102] is provided in form of a stack of stator laminations [110], which allows the main winding [106] and the auxiliary winding [108] to pass therethrough. The stator assembly [102] has a recess to receive a shaft [112] therein, which is attached to a top cover [114] of the single-phase induction motor [100]. The stator assembly [102] further defines a number of poles. For example, the stator assembly [102], as disclosed in the present disclosure, defines fourteen (14) poles.
