High speed blender with counter-rotating motor
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11923734B2) discloses a counter-rotating motor designed with a unique configuration. The motor includes a stator with outer and inner windings, where the phase sequence of the outer winding is reversed compared to the inner winding. An inverter is connected to both windings to supply excitation current synchronously. The motor features an inner rotor that rotates in one direction due to the inner winding and an outer rotor that rotates in the opposite direction due to the outer winding. The inverter enables closed-loop vector control of the rotors, with the first squirrel cage rotor operating in a V/F open-loop control mode.
Furthermore, the patent details a high-speed blender incorporating the counter-rotating motor. The blender includes a first blade connected to the inner rotor and a second blade connected to the outer rotor. These blades can counter-rotate relative to each other, enhancing the blending efficiency. The unique design of the motor and its application in a high-speed blender showcase innovative technology aimed at improving performance and functionality in various applications.
