These days, major technology companies want to make a layout in the automobile market, even the international giant Apple is no exception. However, there has been no other news with substantial content since the last announcement of entering the automotive field, but recently we learned that Apple has started to apply for the patented technology of driving motor in the United States.
As we all know, motor technology is an important core technology in the field of electric vehicles, and from the patent introduction, we can know that the motor that Apple applied for this patent is an induction asynchronous motor. The motor consists of a rotor and a stator. The stator adopts a cage structure, and the rotor is a conductive disk made of a plurality of silicon steel sheets stacked together and embedded in the stator. Because induction asynchronous motor does not need permanent magnets, and the main materials are steel and copper, the manufacturing cost and maintenance cost are low, so this type of motor is adopted by many car companies.
Applying for a patent means that Apple has accumulated some motor technology. Once the patented technology is recognized, Apple has made some progress in the field of electric vehicle manufacturing. Perhaps in the future, not only new electronic products such as Iphone and Ipad, but also new automobile products will be waiting for us every September. (Image from car home and Internet)
