Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to an electric machine, in particular to a double-rotor electric machine. BACKGROUND

[0002] The existing electric machine is generally composed of a stator and a rotor. Since the electric machine has only one rotor, it can only realize single-speed single-shaft output and has single working mode. Such structure cannot meet special requirements in some occasions where forward and reverse rotation is required and is mutually restricted. Meanwhile, it also has problems of insufficient power density and flexible control. In many industrial fields, the electric machine is required to have double-shaft output capability of providing two independent rotating speeds and independent torques. Obviously, the traditional electric machine structure cannot realize this function.

[0003] As shown in the prior art double-rotor electric machine, Figure 1 the stator is mostly directly locked on the end cover or the shell by screws. Such fixing mode is not reliable and it is difficult to ensure the installation accuracy of the stator. The air gap between the stator and the rotor after installation is prone to change, which results in low control accuracy of the air gap and affects the overall performance of the electric machine.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0060] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application.

[0061] As shown in Figures 2-30 , a double-rotor motor includes an outer rotor front end cover 2, a stator front support 3, a stator fixing screw 4, an inner rotor shaft 5, an outer rotor rear end cover 6, an outer rotor end cover fixing screw 7, a stator rear support 8, an inner rotor 12, a skeleton 14, an outer rotor 15 and a stator core 16. The stator fixing screw 4 passes through the stator front support 3, the skeleton 14 and the stator core 16 in sequence from one side of the motor, and is locked with the threaded hole of the stator rear support 8. The stator core 16 is provided with an inner stator 18 matched with the inner rotor 12 and an outer stator 19 matched with the outer rotor 15. The outer rotor front end cover 2 and the inner rotor shaft 5 serve as output ends. The outer rotor end cover fixing screw 7 passes through the outer rotor rear end cover 6 and the outer rotor front end cover 2 in sequence from the other side of the motor, and is fixed. When the motor operates, the outer rotor rear end cover 6 rotates simultaneously with the outer rotor front end cover 2.

[0062] As shown in Figure 7 and 8 , the stator fixing screw 4 passes through the first stator mounting hole 27 of the stator front support 3, the second stator mounting hole 24 of the skeleton, the third stator mounting hole 20 of the stator core and the fourth stator mounting hole 34 of the stator rear support 8 in sequence from the front of the motor, and connects and fixes the stator core 16, the skeleton 14, the stator front support 3 and the stator rear support 8. The outer rotor end cover fixing screw 7 passes through the end cover mounting hole 38 of the outer rotor rear end cover 6 and the end cover mounting hole 36 of the outer rotor front end cover 2 in sequence from the back of the motor, and connects and fixes the outer rotor rear end cover 6 and the outer rotor front end cover 2.

[0063] As shown in Figures 9-11 , the inner stator 18, the outer stator 19 and the third stator mounting hole 20 exist on the stator core 16. The inner stator winding (not shown in the figure) exists on the inner stator 18. The outer stator winding (not shown in the figure) exists on the outer stator 19. The first air gap 21 exists between the inner stator 18 and the inner rotor 12. The second air gap 22 exists between the outer stator 19 and the outer rotor 15. The inner surface of the inner stator and the outer surface of the outer stator are further processed, so that the precision of the air gap can reach 0.005 mm.

[0064] As shown in Figure 12 and 13 , the inner stator 18, the outer stator 19 and the third stator mounting hole 20 exist on the stator core 16. The inner stator winding (not shown in the figure) exists on the inner stator 18. The outer stator winding (not shown in the figure) exists on the outer stator 19. The first air gap 21 exists between the inner stator 18 and the inner rotor 12. The second air gap 22 exists between the outer stator 19 and the outer rotor 15. The inner surface of the inner stator and the outer surface of the outer stator are further processed, so that the precision of the air gap can reach 0.005 mm.As shown, the frame 14 is provided with a second stator mounting hole 24 and a common winding post 23 for winding the inner and outer windings. The second stator mounting hole 24 has a protruding part for separating the inner and outer windings. The protruding part can separate the inner and outer windings and prevent the inner and outer windings from intersecting during winding.

[0065] like Figures 14-17 As shown, there is a countersunk hole 25 on the front side of the stator front bracket 3, into which the stator fixing screw 4 is recessed to prevent it from being exposed, thereby reducing the axial dimension of the motor; there is a first mounting surface 26 that mates with the inner ring of the outer rotor motor bearing 9; there is a through first stator mounting hole 27 on the back side of the stator front bracket 3; there is a stator first mounting end face 28 and a first inner stop 29, the inner side of the inner stop is used to place the inner rotor motor bearing 10, and the outer side of the inner stop is used to mate with the inner surface of the inner stator 18. This surface mating can be a small interference fit, which serves as a positioning function. The first mounting end face 28 provides support for the installation and fixing of the stator core.

[0066] like Figures 18-21 As shown, on the front side of the stator rear support 8, there are motor mounting holes 30 for installing the motor, symmetrically distributed through-holes 31 for the lead wires of the inner and outer windings, and a second mounting surface 32 for mounting the inner ring of the outer rotor motor bearing 9; on the back side of the stator rear support 8, there is a fourth stator mounting hole 34 of a certain depth, which is a threaded hole for locking the stator fixing screw 4; there is a second mounting end face 33 and a second inner stop 35 for installing and fixing the other side of the stator core.

[0067] like Figures 23-26 As shown, the outer rotor front end cover 2 is provided with symmetrically distributed first end cover mounting holes 36 and outer rotor mounting steps 37 for positioning and mounting the outer rotor. The first end cover mounting holes 36 are located on the wall of the outer rotor front end cover 2.

[0068] like Figures 27-30 As shown, the outer rotor rear end cover 6 is provided with symmetrically distributed second end cover mounting holes 38. When the outer rotor end cover fixing screw 7 is installed, it is sunk into the holes to avoid the screws being exposed. The second end cover mounting holes 38 are countersunk holes located on the wall of the rear end cover 6.

[0069] Example 2

[0070] like Figures 32-36As shown, the stator front support 3 has a first protrusion 39 on its back side. This first protrusion 39 passes through the frame 14 and contacts one side of the stator core 16, providing support for the stator core. The stator rear support 8 has a second protrusion 40. This second protrusion 40 passes through the other side of the frame 14 and contacts the other side of the stator core 16, providing support for the stator core. The rest is the same as in Embodiment 1.

[0071] Example 3

[0072] like Figures 37-38 As shown, both the stator front bracket 3 and the stator rear bracket 8 are provided with protrusions and mounting end faces to enhance the support strength for the installation and fixation of the stator core 16. The rest is the same as in Embodiment 1.

[0073] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the claims.
