The smart grid requires monitoring the electrical state and control state of high-voltage switching equipment, which has higher requirements for the controllability of switching equipment.

The traditional high-voltage circuit breaker operating mechanism mainly includes electromagnetic operating mechanisms, spring operating mechanisms, pneumatic operating mechanisms, and hydraulic operating mechanisms. These operating mechanisms have poor flexibility, large dispersion of action time, are not conducive to production and maintenance, and have extremely poor reliability. Due to the advantages of reliability, online flexible control capability, simple structure, and various operation and maintenance methods, electric motors will become a new type of operating mechanism for high-voltage circuit breakers.

In particular, the existing related general-purpose motors are also difficult to meet the requirements of high output torque, high dynamic response, high current overload, and low rotor inertia under the working conditions of high-voltage circuit breakers.

[0025] Specific embodiments

[0026] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other as long as there is no conflict.

[0027] At present, the general motor is generally used as a driving mechanism for the related high-voltage circuit breaker, but the heat dissipation and other problems need to be considered for the driving motor under the condition of high power. The existing general motor is difficult to meet the requirements of high output torque, high dynamic response, high current overload, and low rotor inertia under the working condition of the high-voltage circuit breaker.

[0028] ​​​​​Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 The flux switching motor of an embodiment of the present application is applied to a high-voltage circuit breaker. The flux switching motor comprises a rotor core 2, a bearing 3 and a stator assembly 1. The stator assembly 1 is provided with a mounting cavity 7. The bearing 3 is mounted at the center of the mounting cavity 7. The bearing 3 is sleeved with the rotor core 2, so that an air gap 8 is formed between the stator assembly 1 and the rotor core 2. The rotor core 2 comprises a rotor tooth portion 10 and a rotor yoke portion 9 which are integrated. The rotor yoke portion 9 is sleeved on the bearing 3. The rotor tooth portion 10 is arranged at the outer periphery of the rotor yoke portion 9 and is provided with a plurality of rotor tooth portions 10. In addition, different from the existing rotor core, the rotor tooth portion 10 has a radial extension length of the rotor core 2 which is greater than or equal to the radial extension length of the rotor yoke portion 9 of the rotor core 2. Thus, the flux switching motor increases the length of the rotor tooth portion 10 to improve the ratio of the torque to the moment of inertia of the motor, so as to improve the dynamic response capability of the motor.

[0029] At present, the existing rotor core 2 is in a cylindrical shape. The rotor core 2 has a long rotor tooth portion 10. The rotor core 2 can be formed by axial lamination of silicon steel punching. As shown in Figures 1 to 4 , the rotor core 2 comprises a cylindrical rotor yoke portion 9 and a long strip-shaped rotor tooth portion 10. The rotor tooth portion 10 is located at the outer wall of the rotor yoke portion 9 and extends in the radial direction of the rotor core 2. The center of the rotor yoke portion 9 is provided with a through mounting hole 13. The bearing 3 is mounted in the mounting hole 13, so that the rotor core 2 can rotate in the mounting cavity 7. The rotor tooth portion 10 is provided with a plurality of rotor tooth portions 10 which are uniformly arranged around the axial direction of the rotor yoke portion 9. In the example, the rotor tooth portion 10 has 5, but is not limited to 5, for example, 10, 15 or 5 times of the multiple, that is, the number of rotor tooth portions 10 is 5×N, and N is a positive integer. The end face of each rotor tooth portion 10 away from the rotor yoke portion 9 is an arc surface which is centered on the axis of the rotor core 2. Thus, as shown in Figure 4 , the inner radius of the rotor core 2 is R ri , which is also the inner radius of the rotor yoke portion 9 and is equal to the radius of the mounting hole 13; the outer radius of the rotor core 2 is R ri ; the outer radius of the rotor yoke portion 9 is R rm ; the outer radius of the rotor core 2 is R ro ; and the tooth width of the rotor core 2 is w rt . The extension length of the rotor tooth portion 10 in the radial direction of the rotor core 2, that is, the distance from the outer surface of the rotor yoke portion 9 to the outer surface of the rotor tooth portion 10, can be referred to as the tooth length of the rotor core 2, that is, L rt . The extension length of the rotor yoke portion 9 in the radial direction of the rotor core 2, that is, the distance from the outer surface of the rotor yoke portion 9 to the inner surface of the rotor yoke portion 9, is L ry .

[0030] In some example embodiments, the ratio of the extension length of the rotor tooth 10 in the radial direction of the rotor core 2 to the extension length of the rotor yoke 9 in the radial direction of the rotor core 2 is 3, i.e. But not limited to this, the ratio is preferably 2 to 4, i.e.

[0031] For example Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the stator assembly 1 includes a plurality of stator cores 4 and a plurality of stator permanent magnets 5, and a plurality of groups of windings 6, wherein the plurality of stator cores 4 are arranged around the circumference of the stator assembly 1, and a stator permanent magnet 5 is arranged between every two adjacent stator cores 4, and the two adjacent stator cores 4 and the stator permanent magnet 5 sandwiched therebetween form a stator tooth 14, and the winding 6 is wound on the stator tooth 14. In this example, the number of stator cores 4 is 6, but it is not limited to 6, for example, it can be 12, 18, etc. 6 times, i.e. the number of stator cores 4 is 6xN, N is a positive integer, and the number of stator permanent magnets 5 is consistent with the number of stator cores 4. Among them, the stator core 4 includes a plurality of silicon steel sheets stacked in the axial direction of the stator assembly 1, and the stator core 4 is U-shaped and is modularly processed and formed, so that the stator core 4 itself forms a stator slot 15. Thus, the two adjacent stator cores 4 and the stator permanent magnet 5 therebetween form a stator tooth 14, and other adjacent stator cores 4 and stator permanent magnets 5 also form the same structure, so that the inside of the stator assembly 1 forms a plurality of stator teeth 14, and adjacent stator teeth 14 are spaced apart by stator slots 14, and a group of windings 6 is wound on a stator tooth 14, and each stator tooth 14 is provided with a winding 6, and the stator slot 14 also provides installation space for the winding 6.

[0032] As for the stator permanent magnet 5, as shown in Figure 2 、 Figures 5 to 7 , the stator permanent magnet 5 includes a rare earth permanent magnet 12 and a ferrite permanent magnet 11, wherein the rare earth permanent magnet 12 and the ferrite permanent magnet 11 are arranged in the radial direction of the stator assembly 1 (the radial direction of the stator assembly 1 is consistent with the radial direction of the rotor core 2), the rare earth permanent magnet 12 is located on the side close to the rotor core 2, and the ferrite permanent magnet 11 is located on the side away from the rotor core 2. Thus, the rare earth permanent magnet 12 and the ferrite permanent magnet 11 are combined to perform hybrid excitation, replacing the existing scheme of only rare earth permanent magnet excitation, which can reduce the amount of rare earth permanent magnet while ensuring torque density, and improve the environmental protection and economy of the machine. At the same time, the rare earth permanent magnet 12 has high residual magnetism, thereby ensuring the magnetic flux density of the air gap 8, and the ferrite permanent magnet 11 can reduce the leakage of the rare earth permanent magnet 12 at the outer diameter of the stator assembly. In addition, the length of the ferrite permanent magnet 11 in the radial direction of the stator assembly 2 is greater than the length of the rare earth permanent magnet 12 in the radial direction of the stator assembly 2, further reducing the amount of rare earth permanent magnet 12.

[0033] As can be seen from the above, there is a certain air gap 8 between the stator assembly 1 and the rotor core 2. The winding 6 generates a rotating magnetic field in the air gap 8. The stator permanent magnet 5 and the rotating rotor core 2 also form a rotating magnetic field in the air gap 8. The interaction between the winding magnetic field and the permanent magnet magnetic field generates a stable torque.

[0034] Compared with existing related motors, the rotor core 2 of existing related motors is a cylindrical or short-tooth structure. If it is a cylindrical structure, that is, only the rotor yoke 9, the formula for calculating its moment of inertia is as follows:

[0035]

[0036] The formula for calculating the moment of inertia in this example is as follows:

[0037]

[0038] Where L is the axial length of the rotor core, ρ is the density of the rotor core, and R... ri R is the inner radius of the rotor core. ri R is the outer radius of the rotor core. rm R is the outer radius of the rotor yoke. ro w is the outer radius of the rotor core. rt This represents the tooth width of the rotor core.

[0039] Comparing the two calculation formulas above, the moment of inertia of a conventional cylindrical rotor core is related to the fourth power of the rotor core's outer diameter. Therefore, as the outer diameter increases, the motor's moment of inertia increases rapidly, which is detrimental to improving dynamic response performance. However, in this example, with a fixed rotor tooth width and rotor yoke size, the slope of the rotor core's moment of inertia changing with the outer diameter is very small. Therefore, it is possible to increase torque and power without additionally increasing the moment of inertia, thereby improving the torque-to-moment-inertia ratio. Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the dashed line represents the moment of inertia curve of a typical cylindrical rotor core, while the solid line represents the moment of inertia curve of the rotor core in this example. The horizontal axis represents the outer diameter of the rotor core, and the vertical axis represents the moment of inertia. It can be seen that, with the same outer diameter of the rotor core, the moment of inertia and its growth rate of the flux-switching motor in this example are much smaller than those of a typical cylindrical rotor core. This example of a flux-switching motor improves the torque-to-moment of inertia ratio and enhances the motor's dynamic response by increasing the tooth length of the rotor core, i.e., increasing the outer diameter of the rotor. Furthermore, through experiments and calculations, the flux-switching motor in this example can achieve a moment of inertia of 0.0362 kg·m. 2 At the same time, it maintains a consistently high output torque of 15 kN·m, and the ratio of torque to moment of inertia has been greatly improved, resulting in a significant improvement in dynamic response performance.

[0040] In some example embodiments, a high-voltage circuit breaker includes the flux switching motor described above.

[0041] In combination with the above embodiments, the flux switching motor of the embodiments of the present application increases the ratio of torque to moment of inertia of the motor by increasing the length of the rotor tooth portion, thereby achieving the purpose of improving the dynamic response capability of the motor, and meeting the requirements of high output torque, high dynamic response, high current overload, and low rotor inertia under the working conditions of the high-voltage circuit breaker.

[0043] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection", "direct connection", "indirect connection", "fixed connection", "installation", "assembly" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixed connection, or detachable connection, or integrally connected; the terms "installation", "connection", "fixed connection" can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or the internal communication of two elements.
