Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of flat wire motors, and particularly to a double-layer flat wire winding structure for a motor. Background Art

[0002] At present, the manufacturing of the stator winding of flat wire motors is relatively complex. Due to process limitations, there is a problem of loop current in the magnetic circuit of the flat wire winding. To solve the problem of winding circulating current, a reasonable design of the winding spatial distribution is required to balance the positions of the conductors connected to each branch to achieve resistance and inductance balance. The higher the motor frequency, the more urgent the need for transposition. The larger the number of conductors per slot and the number of parallel branches, the more complex the loop design.

[0003] For new energy motors, especially drive motors, the peak speed generally exceeds 10,000 rpm. High-speed motors have high requirements for NVH. Round wire motors usually adopt double-layer short-pitch windings, which can effectively reduce stator-side harmonics and optimize the NVH performance of the motor. By reasonably designing the flat wire winding structure, the stator-side harmonics can also be effectively reduced.

[0004] It is difficult to adjust the number of conductors per slot in the existing stator winding of flat wire motors. Generally, the number of turns is adjusted by adjusting the number of parallel branches. The Chinese patent application with the publication number CN111200328A discloses a winding structure with 4-way parallel connection that does not generate loop current, but this winding is a full-pitch single-layer winding, with a relatively large amount of harmonic content on the stator side, and all slots are in-phase windings, resulting in relatively large losses caused by AC resistance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a double-layer flat wire winding structure for a motor in view of the corresponding deficiencies in the prior art. By changing layers and transposing, each phase winding forms a short-pitch winding, and all the input sides and output sides of each parallel branch are jointly embedded on different layers with exactly the same number, forming a double-layer winding, so that each parallel branch is completely symmetric in the magnetic circuit, and the back electromotive force, resistance, and inductance are balanced, thereby eliminating loop current.

[0006] The object of the present invention is achieved by the following solution: A double-layer flat wire winding structure for an electric motor, comprising a stator core and a three-phase flat wire winding installed in the stator core. An insulating paper is provided between the stator core and the flat wire winding. The stator core is provided with Z slots, where Z is a multiple of 12. The number of slots per pole per phase of the stator core is set to q, and q is equal to 2. Each slot of the stator core is embedded with i flat conductors. The number of poles of the three-phase flat wire winding is 2P. Each phase of the three-phase flat wire winding is provided with j parallel circuits. Each of the parallel branches is composed of W hairpin flat conductors, and W = Zi / 6j. The hairpin flat conductors are all inserted from one end of the stator core. The input side and the output side of each flat conductor are embedded in adjacent layers and are separated by K slots. That is, the input side of the first hairpin flat conductor is embedded in the first layer of the first slot of the stator core, and the output side of the first hairpin flat conductor is embedded in the second layer of the (K + 1)-th slot of the stator core. The input side of the second hairpin flat conductor is embedded in the first layer of the second slot of the stator core, and the output side of the second hairpin flat conductor is embedded in the second layer of the (K + 2)-th slot of the stator core, and so on. After embedding the 1st and 2nd layers, the 3rd and 4th layers are embedded. Among them, K = Z / 2P, q = Z / 3*2P, so that the same-phase winding structure is arranged in the odd-numbered slots, and the two-phase winding structure is arranged in the even-numbered slots. The span from the input side to the output side of the welding end is changed by changing the bending angle of the hairpin flat conductor at the welding end.

[0007] Further, each of the parallel branches includes a full-pitch wave winding coil with a span of K, a short-pitch layer-changing wave winding coil with a span of K - 1, a long-pitch layer-changing wave winding coil with a span of K + 2, and in some cases, a short-pitch transposed wave winding coil with a span of K - 1;

[0008] By layer-changing and transposing, each phase winding is formed into a short-pitch winding. The number of all input sides and output sides of each parallel branch embedded on different layers is exactly the same. Therefore, H is defined as the basis for judging whether each parallel branch has a transposed coil, H = 2W / ij, and H is an integer;

[0009] When H is equal to 1, each parallel branch undergoes layer-changing once through P coils, and a total of i / 2 - 1 times of layer-changing are performed, and there is no transposed coil;

[0010] When H is greater than 1, each parallel branch undergoes transposing once through P coils and layer-changing once through 2P coils.

[0011] Further, when the number of the parallel branches is 2, the winding directions of the two parallel coils in each phase are opposite, the layers of the input sides and the output sides are opposite, and the input sides of the first coils of the two branches are respectively located in the first layer and the last layer of the same slot.

[0012] Further, when the number of parallel branches is 4, the number of slots in the first and second branches of each phase is adjacent, the winding directions are the same, and the number of layers is the same. The number of slots in the third and fourth branches is adjacent, the winding directions are the same, and the number of layers is the same. The winding directions of the coils in the first and fourth branches are opposite, the number of layers of the input side and the output side is opposite, and the input sides of the first coils of the two branches are respectively located in the first layer and the last layer of the same slot.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. The output side and the input side of the hairpin-shaped flat conductor of the winding structure of the present invention are symmetrically distributed, there is no circulating current between different parallel branches and different phases, and unnecessary winding losses will not be introduced;

[0015] 2. This winding structure can effectively weaken the stator-side harmonics, improve the sinusoidality of the current, reduce the temperature rise caused by current harmonics, and at the same time improve the NVH performance of the motor;

[0016] 3. Since the AC copper loss caused by the skin effect of the different-phase same-slot winding is smaller than that of the same-phase same-slot winding, the double-layer winding can also reduce the AC loss, improve the efficiency at high speed, avoid local overheating of the winding, and improve the service life of the motor;

[0017] 4. By simply combining the input ends and output ends of the parallel branches of each phase winding in series and parallel, the number of turns of the coil can also be adjusted, which is beneficial to platform design and cost reduction.

[0018] 5. This winding structure is applicable to stators with various numbers of slots, different numbers of layers and parallel branches, with flexible design and wide application. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0026] As shown Figures 1 to 7 in the figure, a double-layer flat wire winding structure of a motor includes a stator core and a three-phase flat wire winding installed in the stator core. An insulating paper is provided between the stator core and the flat wire winding. The stator core is provided with Z slots, where Z is a multiple of 12. The number of slots per pole per phase of the stator core is set to q, and q is equal to 2. Each slot of the stator core is embedded with i flat conductors. The number of poles of the three-phase flat wire winding is 2P. Each phase of the three-phase flat wire winding is provided with j parallel circuits. Each parallel branch is composed of W hairpin flat conductors, and W = Zi / 6j. All the hairpin flat conductors are inserted from one end of the stator core. The input side and the output side of each flat conductor are embedded in adjacent layers and are separated by K slots. That is, the input side of the first hairpin flat conductor is embedded in the first layer of the first slot of the stator core, and the output side of the first hairpin flat conductor is embedded in the second layer of the (K + 1)-th slot of the stator core. The input side of the second hairpin flat conductor is embedded in the first layer of the second slot of the stator core, and the output side of the second hairpin flat conductor is embedded in the second layer of the (K + 2)-th slot of the stator core, and so on. After embedding layers 1 and 2, layers 3 and 4 are embedded. Among them, K = Z / 2P, q = Z / (3 * 2P), so that the same-phase winding structure is in the odd-numbered slots and the two-phase winding structure is in the even-numbered slots. The span from the input side to the output side of the welding end is changed by changing the bending angle of the hairpin flat conductor at the welding end.

[0027] Each parallel branch includes a full-pitch wave winding coil with a span of K, a short-pitch layer-changing wave winding coil with a span of K - 1, and a long-pitch layer-changing wave winding coil with a span of K + 2. In some cases, it also includes a short-pitch transposed wave winding coil with a span of K - 1;

[0028] By layer-changing and transposing, each phase winding forms a short-pitch winding. The number of all input sides and output sides of each parallel branch embedded in different layers is exactly the same. Therefore, H is defined as the basis for judging whether each parallel branch has a transposed coil. H = 2W / ij, and H is an integer;

[0030] When H is greater than 1, each parallel branch undergoes 1 transposition through P coils and 1 layer-changing through 2P coils.

[0031] When the number of parallel branches is 2, the winding directions of the two parallel coils in each phase are opposite, the layers of the input side and the output side are opposite, and the input sides of the first coils of the two branches are respectively located in the first layer and the last layer of the same slot.

[0032] When the number of parallel branches is 4, the number of slots in the first and second branches of each phase is adjacent, the winding directions are the same, and the number of layers is the same. The number of slots in the third and fourth branches is adjacent, the winding directions are the same, and the number of layers is the same. The winding directions of the coils in the first and fourth branches are opposite, the number of layers of the input side and the output side is opposite, and the input sides of the first coils of the two branches are respectively located in the first layer and the last layer of the same slot.

[0033] This embodiment includes a stator core 1 and a flat wire winding 2. The flat wire winding 2 is composed of symmetrically distributed U, V, and W three-phase windings.
