Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of motors, and in particular to a high-reliability, high-speed, high-power permanent magnet drive motor that is resistant to electrical corrosion. Background Art
[0002] With the development of high frequency, high voltage, high speed and high power in automobile motors, the problem of electrical corrosion of drive system bearings is becoming more and more common.
[0003] Bearing electrical corrosion is primarily caused by shaft voltage and current generated during motor operation. These voltages and currents degrade the insulation properties of the bearing lubricant, creating a potential difference between the inner and outer races, leading to electrical corrosion. Specific causes include: ① Shaft voltage: Voltage induced on the shaft during motor operation due to an unbalanced stator magnetic field or the inherent magnetization of the shaft. ② Shaft current: Current is generated within the circuit formed by the shaft, bearing inner race, oil film, bearing outer race, and housing when the oil film insulation is broken. Electrical corrosion can cause corrosion at both ends of the bearing balls, damaging the balls and raceways, generating operating noise. In severe cases, it can burn out the bearing, cause bearing seizure, and force downtime, resulting in accidents and impacting motor operation and driver safety. Furthermore, electrical corrosion can cause tiny pits on the bearing surface. These pits gradually aggregate to form evenly spaced pit grooves, known as "washboard" patterns, which impact bearing performance and service life. Electrical corrosion has become a common problem for all automotive OEMs.
[0004] In order to prevent and reduce bearing electrical corrosion, the current improvement measures can generally take the following methods:
[0005] (1) Insulated bearings: Coating a layer of insulating material on the bearing is equivalent to adding a larger capacitor, which requires a higher breakdown voltage to protect the bearing.
[0006] (2) Ceramic ball bearings: Ceramics have good insulation properties and can be used in bearings to reduce the occurrence of electrical corrosion.
[0007] (3) Ensure neutral point balance in motor design: By adjusting the motor design, ensure neutral point balance and reduce the generation of shaft voltage.
[0008] (4) Conductive ring, additional brush short circuit: add brushes between the bearing chamber and the shaft to allow the current to pass through the brushes instead of through the bearings to avoid electrical corrosion.
[0009] (5) Conductive grease oil bearings, use grease with insulating properties: Use grease with insulating properties in bearings to reduce the occurrence of electrical corrosion.
[0010] The above measures can effectively prevent and mitigate bearing electrical corrosion to a certain extent, improving the service life and performance of motors and bearings. However, the following disadvantages still exist: insulated bearings are expensive, and the insulation layer is easily worn and detached; ceramic ball bearings are expensive, and the ceramic layer is easily broken by impact; conductive rings can only partially shunt the differential mode voltage and cannot completely eliminate the shaft current; conductive grease-oiled bearings can also only partially shunt the differential mode voltage and cannot completely eliminate the shaft current, thus reducing the occurrence of electrical corrosion. The life of the conductive grease affects the life of the bearing, reducing the reliability of the bearing operation, and thus the reliability of the motor operation.
[0011] In summary, the above measures all have limitations, high costs, and low reliability, and cannot completely and thoroughly solve the problem of bearing electrical corrosion. In recent years, the problem of bearing electrical corrosion has been widespread in the new energy vehicle industry (including new energy passenger cars, buses, light trucks, heavy trucks, etc.). The reason is that with the superposition of technical factors such as high voltage, high speed, high frequency, and high power of electric drive systems, the probability of shaft voltage breaking through the bearing oil film has been greatly increased. Therefore, the cause of bearing electrical corrosion is the electric drive system itself. There is a general consensus in the industry and academia on this issue, so a solution must be found from the motor and electronic control. Based on this, it is particularly necessary to design a high-reliability, high-speed, and high-power permanent magnet drive motor that can resist electrical corrosion. Summary of the Invention
