Technical Field

[0002] With the continuous development of industrial automation and intelligent manufacturing, the motor, as the core power source of various electromechanical devices, directly affects the operating efficiency and stability of the entire device. As a key component of the motor, the structural design and processing technology of the motor rotor play a crucial role in ensuring the efficient operation of the motor, reducing energy consumption, and extending its service life. Currently, the manufacturing process of motor rotors is gradually evolving towards high precision, high performance, and high reliability. Especially in the fields of new energy vehicles, aerospace, and high-end manufacturing equipment, higher requirements are put forward for the performance of motor rotors.
[0003] In the prior art, the processing of motor rotors usually prepares the initial blank by directly cooling after single-temperature forging, and then performs mechanical cutting and single heat treatment, and finally completes the surface treatment. This leads to uneven grain distribution inside the material during the cooling process, which in turn affects the dynamic balance performance of the rotor.

In step S4, place the magnetic composite blank in a vacuum heat treatment furnace. Set the heating rate through the temperature curve planning algorithm, which can be specifically set to 10 °C / min to 850 °C, hold for 2 hours, and adjust the holding time based on the thermal expansion data of the interface bonding state; then cool down dynamically and hold, use the cooling rate calculation module to segmentally adjust the cooling to room temperature, record the stress release data of each stage and optimize the cooling path to obtain a heat-treated blank with a stable microstructure and magnetic properties.

[0031] In summary, by performing hot forging on the alloy steel substrate at a preset forging temperature and supplemented with gradient cooling treatment, the grain structure can be optimized while retaining the material strength, significantly improving the tissue uniformity and isotropy of the initial blank, helping to reduce the concentration of internal stress during the processing, and fundamentally improving the dynamic balance basic conditions of the rotor. The cylindrical blank prepared by the multi-layer gradient cutting process can achieve precise control of different structural levels, improving the geometric accuracy and surface quality of the blank. Further, the composite deposition of magnetic materials on the cylindrical blank enables the construction of key magnetic functional regions as needed, enhancing the overall magnetic conductivity performance and taking into account the material lightweight requirements. By performing dynamic heat treatment in a vacuum environment and combining the coordinated control of temperature and atmosphere, tissue defects and oxidation reactions are effectively suppressed, improving the material stability and comprehensive mechanical properties. The dynamic balance trimming step combines the preset alloy characteristics for microstructure regulation to ensure excellent running stability of the rotor in a high-speed environment. Finally, surface strengthening treatment is carried out in a nitrogen atmosphere and supplemented with a functional coating coverage, significantly improving the surface wear resistance and corrosion resistance, meeting the requirements of the motor system for high-performance rotors under complex working conditions.
[0032] In one embodiment, the alloy steel substrate is a mixture of chromium, molybdenum, carbon, nickel, vanadium, and iron elements. Among them, in the alloy steel substrate, calculated by mass percentage, the proportion of chromium is 1.5 - 3%, the proportion of molybdenum is 0.5 - 1.2%, the proportion of carbon is 0.3 - 0.6%, the proportion of nickel is 0.8 - 1.5%, the proportion of vanadium is 0.1 - 0.25%, and the balance is iron.
[0033] In the above embodiment, the component selection of the alloy steel substrate achieves ideal mechanical properties and thermal stability by precisely proportioning the element contents. The addition of chromium can significantly improve the corrosion resistance and high-temperature strength of the steel. During hot forging and subsequent heat treatment processes, chromium enhances the grain boundary strength by forming stable carbides (such as Cr23C6), preventing excessive grain growth at high temperatures, and thus maintaining the microstructure stability of the rotor initial blank. In addition, chromium can also improve the surface strengthening effect of the substrate in a nitrogen atmosphere, promoting the bonding force between the nitrided layer and the matrix. The content is controlled within the range of 1.5 - 3%, which can not only fully exert its strengthening effect but also avoid the increase in brittleness caused by too high content, ensuring the toughness of the material under high-stress conditions.
[0034] Molybdenum helps to enhance the hardenability and thermal strength of the material. During hot forging, molybdenum enables the substrate to maintain high hardness and anti-deformation ability at high temperatures through solid solution strengthening and precipitation strengthening mechanisms. In addition, molybdenum can also improve the fatigue resistance of the material, which is crucial for the long-term stability of the motor rotor during high-speed operation. The content range is set at 0.5 - 1.2%, which can effectively improve the mechanical properties while avoiding the increase in processing costs and brittleness risks caused by excessive addition.
[0035] As the main hardening element in steel, carbon is crucial for enhancing hardness and wear resistance. Carbon significantly improves the hardness and wear resistance of the material by forming pearlite or martensite structures with iron. During the hot forging and gradient cooling stages, an appropriate carbon content helps form a fine and uniform grain structure, providing a good surface quality foundation for subsequent machining. Meanwhile, carbon can also form complex carbides with elements such as chromium and molybdenum, further enhancing the wear resistance of the material. The content range of 0.3 - 0.6% is a balance point, ensuring sufficient strength while avoiding a decrease in toughness and an increase in machining difficulty caused by excessive carbon content.
[0036] The addition of nickel can improve the low-temperature toughness and fatigue resistance of steel. Nickel dissolves in the iron matrix, improves the bonding force at grain boundaries, reduces the concentration of internal stress, which is particularly important during multi-layer gradient cutting and dynamic balance trimming processes. In addition, nickel can also enhance the corrosion resistance of the material and, in conjunction with chromium, further extend the service life of the rotor in complex environments. Controlling the content within 0.8 - 1.5% can optimize the toughness while avoiding unnecessary impacts on cost and magnetic properties due to excessive addition.
[0037] Vanadium further improves the strength and toughness of steel by refining grains. Vanadium forms fine VC carbide particles, which can significantly refine grains and improve the strength and fatigue resistance of the material. During the hot forging and dynamic heat treatment stages, the precipitation strengthening effect of vanadium helps inhibit grain growth, ensuring the microstructural uniformity of the rotor billet and heat-treated billet. The content range of 0.1 - 0.25% can fully exert its grain-refining effect while avoiding carbide segregation caused by excessive addition.
[0038] Iron, as the remaining component of the base material, constitutes the main framework of the alloy steel. Iron provides a good foundation for machining performance and magnetic permeability, and works in synergy with other alloying elements to form a base material with balanced properties. By precisely controlling the proportions of various elements, iron-based alloy steel can exhibit excellent adaptability in processes such as hot forging, deposition, and surface strengthening. Optimizing the alloy composition can not only meet the requirements of the motor rotor for high strength, high toughness, and good thermal stability but also lay a solid foundation for subsequent processing, ensuring that the final product has excellent dynamic balance and durability under high-speed and high-load conditions.
[0039] In one example, the step of hot forging the alloy steel base material based on a preset forging temperature and subjecting the hot-forged alloy steel base material to gradient cooling treatment to obtain a rotor billet includes: Heating the alloy steel base material to 900 - 950 °C for preheating in an inert gas atmosphere to obtain a preheated base material; Performing multi-directional hot forging on the preheated base material at a forging frequency of 12 - 18 times per minute and an extrusion angle of 30° - 45° to obtain a preliminary forged billet; Place the initial forging blank in an environment of 700 - 800 °C and keep it warm for 2 hours. Subsequently, spray cold air on the outer surface of the initial forging blank to cool it down to 650 °C, forming an annealed blank. Cool the annealed blank to 450 °C at a rate of 4 °C per minute through a circulating liquid cooling system. Subsequently, spray argon on the annealed blank at a preset spraying angle for auxiliary cooling to room temperature, obtaining a pre-cooled blank. Perform tempering treatment on the pre-cooled blank at 300 - 350 °C for 2 hours, and based on the nitrogen circulation system, cool the tempered pre-cooled blank to 150 °C, obtaining a finely adjusted blank. Cool the finely adjusted blank to 80 °C at a rate of 1.5 °C per minute, and then naturally cool the finely adjusted blank to room temperature, obtaining a rotor initial blank.
[0040] In the above embodiment, place the high-strength alloy steel substrate in a multi-stage heating furnace, and gradually raise the temperature to the preset forging range of 900 - 950 °C through a zoning temperature control system. Use an infrared thermometer to monitor the temperature distribution on the surface and in the core of the substrate in real time, ensure that the temperature difference is controlled within ±5 °C, and at the same time inject argon through an inert gas circulation system to maintain a low-oxygen environment and avoid surface oxidation, obtaining a preheated substrate with uniform temperature.
[0041] Transfer the preheated substrate to a multi-directional forging device, set the forging temperature to 950 - 1000 °C, apply periodic pressure through a multi-axial servo hydraulic system, collect stress distribution data during forging using a three-dimensional stress sensor, dynamically adjust the forging frequency to 12 - 18 times per minute and the extrusion angle range between 30° and 45° according to the stress distribution, perform five rounds of progressive extrusion, and observe the grain morphology through a microscope and optimize the forging path after each round of extrusion until the grains are refined into a uniform rod-like structure, obtaining an initial forging blank.
[0042] Place the initial forging blank in a vacuum annealing furnace, set the annealing temperature to 700 - 800 °C, monitor the change of the internal temperature field of the blank through a thermocouple array, use gradient heating technology to control the temperature of the surface and core of the blank in zones, introduce a small amount of nitrogen during the annealing process to adjust the surface tissue characteristics, set the holding time to 2 hours, and then cool the temperature to 650 °C through an inert gas spraying system, obtaining an annealed blank with stress released.
[0043] Transfer the annealed blank to a multi-stage cooling tank, use a temperature gradient control module to set cooling parameters in zones according to the thickness and heat conduction characteristics of the blank. First, cool the temperature to 450 °C at a rate of 4 °C / min through a circulating water cooling system, and then switch to the high-pressure argon spraying mode to assist in cooling the core of the blank. Monitor the temperature distribution through a thermal imager during the cooling process and adjust the air flow intensity and spraying angle, obtaining a pre-cooled blank with balanced temperature.
[0044] Place the pre-cooled blank in a precision heat treatment furnace, set the tempering temperature to 300 - 350 °C, use the electromagnetic induction heating system to heat the blank in a zonal pulsed manner, detect the surface temperature change with a laser thermometer, dynamically adjust the heating power and holding time to 2 hours according to the temperature data to stabilize the microstructure, and then use the low-temperature nitrogen circulation system to cool the temperature to 150 °C to obtain a fine-tuned blank with a stable structure.
[0045] Place the fine-tuned blank in a programmed cooling device, set a two-stage cooling curve through a multi-channel temperature control system. First, cool the temperature to 80 °C at a rate of 1.5 °C / min, then switch to the natural cooling mode, use a thermal conductivity analyzer to collect the internal heat flow data of the blank in real time, and adjust the air volume and humidity of the cooling environment according to the data to ensure no micro-cracks on the surface. Finally, complete the cooling at room temperature to obtain a rotor preform with a uniform microstructure.
[0046] In one example, the step of performing multi-layer gradient cutting on the rotor preform to obtain a cylindrical blank includes: Fix the rotor preform and preheat it to 200 °C, and perform rough cutting of 3 - 5 mm on the outer surface of the preheated rotor preform at a rotational speed of 600 revolutions per minute to obtain a rough machined blank; Perform layer-by-layer peeling cutting on the rough machined blank to obtain a layered blank, and perform precision cutting on the layered blank at a frequency of 30 kHz based on ultrasonic assistance to obtain a precision cut blank; Perform dynamic contour trimming on the precision cut blank based on a coordinate measuring machine to obtain a trimmed blank. Then, temper the trimmed blank at 150 °C for 2 hours, and perform cutting on the trimmed blank to the target size with a cutting depth of 0.3 - 0.5 mm based on a precision lathe to obtain a preformed blank; Perform polishing cutting on the outer surface of the preformed blank at a preset polishing rotational speed to obtain a cylindrical blank.
[0047] In the above embodiment, place the rotor preform in a special fixture, preheat it to 200 °C at a high temperature to release the internal stress, and then use a cemented carbide tool to perform the first rough cutting on its outer surface to remove the 3 - 5 mm thick oxide layer and irregular protrusions on the surface. During the cutting process, set the rotational speed to 600 revolutions per minute in a low-speed rotation mode, and at the same time, cooperate with high-pressure coolant spraying to cool down and wash away the chips to ensure the initial flatness of the cutting surface and obtain a rough machined blank.
[0048] Fix the rough-formed blank on a multi-axis linkage lathe, and use the stepped cutting process to perform layered peeling cutting on its outer surface. The cutting depth for each time is controlled within 1 - 2 mm, and it gradually decreases layer by layer from the outside to the inside until it approaches the core area. During cutting, manually adjust the tool angle and combine with intermittent shutdown to check the surface flatness to ensure that there are no obvious cracks or thermal deformation marks after each layer of cutting, and obtain a layered blank with a preliminary regular shape. Install the layered blank in an ultrasonic vibration cutting device, drive the tool to vibrate at a frequency of 30 kHz with the help of an ultrasonic generator, and perform precision cutting on its surface.

[0077] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3, the present invention also provides a motor rotor, which adopts the processing method of the motor rotor described in any one of the above, and includes a shaft body 1 and a core body 2. The core body 2 is sleeved outside the shaft body 1. The shaft body 1 is axially provided with an elliptical fixing groove 101, and the core body 2 is fixedly connected to the shaft body 1 through the fixing groove 101; The outer surface of the core body 2 is coated with a magnetic composite layer, and a plurality of pole units 3 are circumferentially embedded on the outer surface of the magnetic composite layer. The cross-section of the pole unit 3 is trapezoidal, and a spacer is provided between two adjacent pole units 3.
[0078] In the above embodiment, the core body 2 is sleeved outside the shaft body 1 to form a stable structural basis. The shaft body 1 is axially designed with an elliptical fixing groove 101. The elliptical design of the fixing groove 101 increases the contact area and geometric fit, enabling the core body 2 to be firmly fixedly connected to the shaft body 1 through the fixing groove 101, effectively preventing relative sliding during rotation, and enhancing the stability of the overall structure. The outer surface of the core body 2 is coated with a magnetic composite layer, which is made of a high magnetic permeability material and can enhance the magnetic field intensity and optimize the magnetic flux distribution. A plurality of pole units 3 are circumferentially embedded on its outer surface. The cross-section of the pole unit 3 is designed as trapezoidal, which is not only convenient for processing and installation, but also can effectively concentrate magnetic field lines and improve magnetic efficiency; the spacer provided between adjacent pole units 3 is made of a non-magnetic material and is used to reduce magnetic field interference, ensure the independent operation of each pole unit 3, and thus enhance the operating efficiency and output power of the motor.
[0079] Through the synergistic effect of the elliptical fixing groove 101 and the trapezoidal pole units 3, the mechanical strength and magnetic performance of the motor rotor are significantly improved. The elliptical design of the fixing groove 101 can evenly disperse stress when bearing high speeds, avoiding local fatigue failure; the combination of the magnetic composite layer and the trapezoidal pole units 3 optimizes the magnetic field distribution, reduces energy loss, and enables the motor to maintain excellent performance under high-load working conditions. In addition, the setting of the spacer further reduces the crosstalk between the poles, provides higher stability and durability for the motor, and is suitable for industrial scenarios requiring high-efficiency output.

[0081] In the above embodiments, the balance strengthening rings 4 at the opposite ends of the core body 2 of the motor rotor are made of high-strength materials, and a plurality of balance holes 401 are axially formed. The structural performance is further optimized by coating a weight alloy layer in the balance holes 401. The main function of the balance strengthening ring 4 is to enhance the rigidity and stability of the end of the core body 2. Its ring structure can effectively resist the centrifugal force during the high-speed rotation of the rotor and prevent the end from deforming or cracking. The axially distributed balance holes 401 reduce the overall weight of the rotor and at the same time provide space for dynamic balance adjustment. The inner walls of the balance holes 401 are coated with a weight alloy layer, and an alloy material with adjustable density (such as cobalt-based or tungsten-based alloy) is used. By controlling the thickness and distribution of the coating, the mass distribution of the rotor can be precisely adjusted, significantly reducing vibration and noise during operation and improving the dynamic balance performance of the rotor.
