3、電樞磁勢波的軸線與磁極軸線相差90度,也就是在交軸上。在示意圖中，電刷位于交軸上，因?yàn)檫@是線圈和電刷相連的位置。這樣，電樞磁勢波的軸線也是沿著電刷軸線的（在實(shí)際電機(jī)中，電刷的幾何位置大約偏移圖例中所示位置90度，這是因?yàn)樵哪┒诵螤顦?gòu)成圖示結(jié)果與換向器相連）。電刷上的電磁轉(zhuǎn)矩和旋轉(zhuǎn)電勢與磁通分布的空間波形無關(guān)；為了方便我們可以假設(shè)在氣隙中有一個正弦的磁通密度波形。轉(zhuǎn)矩可以從磁場的觀點(diǎn)分析得到。</p><p>

11、性能。</p><p>　　他勵發(fā)電機(jī)的聯(lián)接圖解已經(jīng)給出的。所需的勵磁電流只是電樞電流中的一小部分。在勵磁電路中少量的功率可以控制相對一大部分電樞電路的功率。換句話說，發(fā)電機(jī)是一個功率放大器，當(dāng)需要在大范圍控制電樞電壓時，他勵發(fā)電機(jī)通常在反饋控制系統(tǒng)中使用。自勵發(fā)電機(jī)的勵磁繞組可以有三種不同的供電方式。勵磁線圈可以與電樞串聯(lián)起來，這便是串勵發(fā)電機(jī)；勵磁繞組可以與電樞并聯(lián)在一起，這便是并勵發(fā)電機(jī)。也可以同時以兩種方

12、式相連接組成一個復(fù)勵發(fā)電機(jī)。為了引起自勵過程，在自勵發(fā)電機(jī)中必須存在剩磁。</p><p>　　在典型的靜態(tài)伏-安特性中，假定原動機(jī)速度恒定，穩(wěn)態(tài)電動勢與端電壓之間的關(guān)系為</p><p><b>　?。?-7）</b></p><p>　　其中是電樞輸出電流，是電樞回路電阻。在發(fā)動機(jī)中，大于。電磁轉(zhuǎn)矩是一個反轉(zhuǎn)矩。</p>&l

13、t;p>　　他勵發(fā)電機(jī)的端電壓隨著負(fù)載電流的增大而輕微的減小，主要是因?yàn)殡妷涸陔姌须娮枭系膲航?。串勵發(fā)電機(jī)中的勵磁電流與負(fù)載電流相同，所以氣隙磁通和電壓隨負(fù)載變化很大，因此很少采用串勵發(fā)電機(jī)。并勵發(fā)電機(jī)電壓隨負(fù)載增加會有所下降，但在許多應(yīng)用場合，這并不妨礙使用。復(fù)勵發(fā)電機(jī)的連接通常使串勵繞組的磁勢與并勵繞組磁勢相加，其優(yōu)點(diǎn)是通過串勵繞組作用，每極磁通隨著負(fù)載增加，從而產(chǎn)生一個隨負(fù)載增加近似為常數(shù)的輸出電壓。通常，并勵繞組匝數(shù)多，導(dǎo)

14、線細(xì)；而繞在外部的串勵繞組由于它必須承載電機(jī)的整個電樞電流，所以其構(gòu)成的導(dǎo)線相對較粗。不論是并勵還是復(fù)勵發(fā)電機(jī)的電壓都可借助并勵磁場中的變阻器在適度的范圍內(nèi)得到調(diào)節(jié)。</p><p>　　所有勵磁的方法在電動機(jī)上同樣適用。在電動機(jī)典型的靜態(tài)轉(zhuǎn)速—轉(zhuǎn)矩特性中，電機(jī)端電壓假設(shè)由恒壓源供電，在電動機(jī)中感應(yīng)的電勢與路端電壓間關(guān)系是</p><p><b>　　（1-8）</b>

16、載到滿負(fù)荷的速度基本上只有5%的下降的恒速電動機(jī)。從起動轉(zhuǎn)矩到達(dá)到最大轉(zhuǎn)矩之間一直是被電樞電流所控制可以正常交替進(jìn)行。</p><p>　　并勵電動機(jī)的一個顯著優(yōu)點(diǎn)是速度控制，通過在并勵繞組回路裝上內(nèi)部變阻器，勵磁電流和每極磁通都可任意改變。而磁通的變化導(dǎo)致轉(zhuǎn)速相反的變化以維持反電勢大致等于外施加端電壓。用這種方法我們可以獲得最大調(diào)速范圍為4或5比1，最高轉(zhuǎn)速同樣受到換向條件的限制。通過改變外施加電樞電壓，可以獲

17、得很寬的調(diào)速范圍。</p><p>　　對于串勵電動機(jī)來說，電樞電流、電樞磁勢波以及定子磁場磁通隨負(fù)載增長而增長。因?yàn)橛捎谪?fù)載增大而造成的磁通增大，速度必須降低，這樣才可以維持反電勢與外加電壓之間的平衡。此外，由于磁通增加，所以轉(zhuǎn)矩增大所引起電樞電流的增大比并勵電動機(jī)中的要小。因此串勵電動機(jī)是一種具有明顯下降的轉(zhuǎn)速-負(fù)載特性的變速發(fā)電機(jī)。對于要求轉(zhuǎn)矩過載很多的應(yīng)用場合，由于對應(yīng)的過載功率隨相應(yīng)的轉(zhuǎn)速下降而維持在一

18、個合理的范圍內(nèi)。因此，這種特性具有特別的優(yōu)越性。磁通隨著電樞電流的增大而增大，同時還帶來非常有用的起動特性。</p><p>　　在復(fù)勵電動機(jī)中，串勵磁場可以連接成積復(fù)勵式，使其磁勢與并勵磁場相加；也可以連接成差復(fù)勵式，兩磁場方向相反,差復(fù)勵很少使用。積復(fù)勵電動機(jī)具有界于串勵和并勵之間的速度—負(fù)載特性，轉(zhuǎn)速隨負(fù)載的降低取決于并勵磁場和串勵磁場的相對安匝數(shù)。這種電動機(jī)沒有像串勵電動機(jī)那樣輕載高轉(zhuǎn)速的缺點(diǎn)，但它在相當(dāng)

19、的程度上保持著串勵方式的優(yōu)點(diǎn)。</p><p>　　直流電機(jī)的應(yīng)用優(yōu)勢是可以連接成串勵、并勵及復(fù)勵式等各種勵磁方式。其中的一些特性我們已在本文中的提及到了。如果增加電刷可以通過換向器獲得更多的電壓，那么還會存在更多的應(yīng)用場合，不論對人工的還是自動控制的適應(yīng)性是它們的顯著特性。</p><p>　　一個直流電機(jī)是由兩個基本元素組成：</p><p>　　定子是電機(jī)固定

79、oles are built from 0.5～1mm iron sheets held together by riveted bolts. The poles are fixed into the frame by means of bolts. They support the windings carrying the excitation current.</p><p>　　On the rotor

80、side, at the end of the pole core is the so-called pole-shoe that is meant to facilitate a given distribution of the magnetic flux through the air gap. The winding is placed inside an insulated frame mounted on the core,

81、 and secured by the pole-shoe.</p><p>　　The excitation windings are made of insulated round or rectangular conductors, and are connected either in series or in parallel. The windings are liked in such a way

82、that the magnetic flux of one pole crossing the air gap is directed from the pole-shoe towards the armature (North Pole), which the flux of the next pole is directed from the armature to the pole-shoe (South Pole).</p

83、><p>　　The commutating poles, like the main poles, consist of a core ending in the pole-shoe and a winding wound round the core. They are located on the symmetry (neutral) axis between two main poles, and bolte

84、d on the yoke. Commutating poles are built either of cast-iron or iron sheets.</p><p>　　The windings of the commutating poles are also made from insulated round or rectangular conductors. They are connected

85、either in series or in parallel and carry the machine's main current.</p><p>　　The rotor core is built of 0.5～1mm silicon-alloy sheets. The sheets are insulated from one another by a thin film of varnish

86、 or by an oxide coating. Both some 0.03～0.05mm thick. The purpose is to ensure a reduction of the eddy currents that arise in the core when it rotates inside the magnetic field. These currents cause energy losses that tu

88、 cooling ducts (8～10mm inside) are inserted between the packets to give better cooling. Pressure is exerted to both side of the core by pressing devices foxed on to the shaft. The length of the rotor usually exceeds that

89、 of the poles by 2～5mm on either side－the effect being to minimize the variations in magnetic permeability caused by axial armature displacement. The periphery of the rotor is provided with teeth and slots in</p>

91、 by means of wedges made of wood or other insulating material.</p><p>　　The winding overcharge are bent over and tied to one another with steel wire in order to resist the deformation that could be caused by

92、 the centrifugal force.</p><p>　　The coil-junctions of the rotor winding are connected to the commutator mounted on the armature shaft. The commutator is cylinder made of small copper. Segments insulated fro

94、 insulated from one another by means of a synthetic resin such as Bakelite.</p><p>　　To link the armature winding to fixed machine terminals, a set of carbon brushes slide on the commutator surface by means

95、of brush holders. The brushes contact the commutator segments with a constant pressure ensured by a spring and lever. Clamps mounted on the end shields support the brush holders.</p><p>　　The brushes are con
