[0024] For reference Figures 1 to 6 As shown in the figure, according to the embodiment of the present application, a magnetic steel built-in motor rotor is provided, which comprises a rotor core 1 formed by stacking rotor punching sheets, and the outer circumferential surface is a smooth cylindrical surface, and a welding groove can be opened. A plurality of magnetic steel slots 11 are constructed on the rotor core 1, and the plurality of magnetic steel slots 11 are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the rotor core 1. Each magnetic steel slot 11 is provided with a magnetic steel 2. Any plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotor core 1 is a projection radial plane. The projection of the magnetic steel 2 and the magnetic steel slot 11 on the projection radial plane is a circular shape matching in size, that is, the magnetic steel 2 is a cylindrical magnetic steel, and the magnetic steel slot 11 is a circular magnetic steel slot. The magnetic steel in the technical solution is a cylindrical magnetic steel. Compared with the square magnetic steel in the prior art, the centrifugal tensile stress received by the rotor punching sheet and the magnetic steel at high speed can be significantly reduced without reducing the electromagnetic performance of the motor, the maximum speed that can be withstood by the rotor is improved, the rotor structure is compact, and the vibration during high-speed operation of the rotor is reduced.

[0025] It needs to be particularly pointed out that the magnetic steel is pressure-resistant but tensile-resistant. During high-speed rotation of the rotor, the main stress received by the magnetic steel is centrifugal tensile stress. The radial tensile stress of the cylindrical magnetic steel is smaller than that of the square magnetic steel, and the directions of the tangential tensile stress are different. The maximum stress value of the cylindrical magnetic steel is low at the same high speed. The cylindrical magnetic steel is less likely to be damaged than the square magnetic steel.

[0026] The number of the magnetic steel slots 11 on the rotor core 1 is, for example, twelve as shown in the figure, and the specific number is not limited to the number in the embodiment. It should be designed according to the actual functional requirements, but the ratio of the number of magnetic steel slots to the number of rotor poles must be 3:1. Figure 2

[0027] In some embodiments, the magnetic steel 2 and the magnetic steel slot 11 have a positioning structure, which effectively prevents the rotation of the circular magnetic steel 2 in the circular magnetic steel slot 11, thereby preventing misalignment during magnetization of the magnetic steel, and ensuring the consistency of the magnetization direction.

[0028] ​The aforementioned positioning structure can be, for example, a convex-concave fit structure, wherein the magnet 2 has a concave portion and the magnet groove 11 has a convex portion. In a preferred embodiment, on the projected radial plane, the outer peripheral wall of the magnet 2 has a positioning plane 21 extending along its length. The distance from any point on the positioning plane 21 to the geometric center of the magnet 2 is no greater than the radius of the magnet 2. The groove wall of the magnet groove 11 has a positioning wall segment 111 extending radially inward. A positioning point is formed between the positioning plane 21 and the cylindrical segment of the magnet 2. At least one end of the positioning wall segment 111 can abut against the positioning point. The positioning plane 21 and the positioning wall segment 111 together constitute the positioning structure. In this technical solution, the positioning plane 21 can be obtained by machining the outer peripheral wall of the magnet 2, which is convenient and easy to implement. The groove wall of the magnet groove 11 can form a curvature change through the positioning wall segment 111 extending radially inward. The rotational positioning of the magnet 2 is achieved by using the point of this curvature change to contact the positioning point, resulting in a simple structure. Furthermore, the positioning wall segment 111 has two sub-segments connected in a V-shape, and a magnetic isolation gap 12 is formed between the positioning wall segment 111 and the positioning plane 21 opposite to it. While realizing positioning, it can also play a role in magnetic isolation, thereby improving the utilization rate of the magnet.

[0029] In some embodiments, there are two positioning planes 21, which are symmetrical about the geometric center of the magnet 2. Correspondingly, there are two positioning wall segments 111, which are symmetrical about the geometric center of the magnet slot 11, thereby optimizing the magnetic field of the rotor.

[0030] As a specific embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, each magnetic pole of the rotor core 1 has four magnetic slots 11. The four magnetic slots 11 are symmetrically arranged about the d-axis of the magnetic pole, so that the magnetic field under each magnetic pole of the rotor core has sufficient strength. It has been verified that the electromagnetic performance of the motor is optimal at this time.

[0031] In some embodiments, the centers of the two magnetic slots 11 on both sides of the d-axis are respectively on a straight line, and the two straight lines form a V-shape with the opening facing the outer circle of the rotor core 1. The included angle of the V-shape is α, 175°≤α<180°, preferably 178°. This not only improves the magnetic focusing effect of the magnetic poles, but also further optimizes the structure of the motor rotor and further reduces the centrifugal tensile stress on the rotor laminations and magnets at high speeds.

[0032] The rotor core 1 also has evenly distributed weight-reduction holes 3, which can reduce the rotor inertia and bearing load, ensuring the rotational stability of the rotor. The rotor shaft is made of high-strength, non-magnetic material, which will not affect the performance of the motor and improve the overall stability of the permanent magnet synchronous motor operation.

[0033] See also Figure 5 andFigure 6 Under the same electromagnetic performance and rotational speed conditions, compared with the traditional square magnet-embedded rotor, the cylindrical magnet-embedded rotor of the present invention reduces the maximum stress of the laminations by 79.05 MPa and the maximum tensile stress of the magnets by 37.291 MPa. In other words, the technical solution of the present invention effectively reduces the maximum stress on the magnets and laminations at high speeds, improving the stability of the rotor under high-speed operation.

[0034] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an electric motor is also provided, including the above-described magnet-embedded motor rotor.

[0035] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an air conditioner is also provided, including the motor described above.

[0036] It will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the aforementioned advantageous methods can be freely combined and superimposed without conflict.

[0037] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention. The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present invention.
