Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a brushless claw pole motor structure, belonging to the field of motor design technology. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, traditional diesel generator power stations have suffered from poor power quality, excessively large and heavy outputs of high-power products, and significant noise and emissions pollution. Therefore, applying high-performance, high-power power take-off (PTO) technology is an effective solution to the problem of mobile power supply.

[0003] High-performance power take-off (PTO) technology using brushless claw pole generators, with its advantages of high power, high reliability, long life, and light size and weight, will gradually replace existing diesel generator power supply systems and brushed generators, becoming the preferred main power supply equipment for special vehicles. It can be widely used in various fields such as combat, command, logistics support, and medical rescue, and has huge application potential, which will surely bring good military and economic benefits.

[0004] Most existing generators are brushed claw pole generators, while brushless claw pole generators are less commonly used. Moreover, the brushless claw pole generators that are used only have a pair of rotors and an excitation assembly. For motors with large radial dimensions, the excessively long radial dimension increases the centrifugal force, making them unsuitable for high-speed motors. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a brushless claw pole motor structure, which has the advantages of light size and weight, high power density, high reliability, wide speed range and low cost.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this invention is:

[0007] A brushless claw pole motor structure includes a housing assembly, a stator assembly, a rotor assembly, two brushless excitation assemblies, a front cover assembly, a rear cover assembly, a fan, and spring wave plates;

[0008] The housing assembly contains the stator assembly, which is coaxially assembled with the rotor assembly. The rotor assembly is assembled with the housing assembly via the front cover assembly and the rear cover assembly. Two brushless excitation assemblies are mounted on the front cover assembly and the rear cover assembly respectively and connected in series. The fan is mounted on the rotor assembly shaft, and the bearing in the rear cover assembly is axially preloaded by a spring wave plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the rotor assembly is first installed into the front cover assembly via bearings to form the front cover-rotor assembly. Then, the stator assembly is installed into the housing assembly, and the front cover-rotor assembly is installed into the housing assembly and secured with screws. Then, the rear cover assembly is installed into the rotor assembly and housing assembly. Finally, the spring wave plate and fan are installed in sequence.

[0010] Furthermore, the rotor assembly includes an inner claw assembly, an outer claw assembly, and a magnetic shielding block;

[0011] The two inner jaw assemblies are welded together with the two outer jaw assemblies by a block of magnetic shielding. The two inner jaw assemblies are interference-fitted onto the shaft in a back-to-back structure.

[0012] Furthermore, the inner and outer claw components are made of magnetically conductive materials, while the magnetic shielding block is made of non-magnetically conductive 0Cr16Ni14 steel.

[0013] Furthermore, the claw pole angles of the two inner claw assemblies are consistent, and the claw poles of the two outer claw assemblies differ from the claw poles of the inner claw assemblies by 22.5°. The magnetic shielding block is located at the claw tip position of the inner and outer claw assemblies, ensuring that the magnetic shielding block is flush with the claw tip.

[0014] Furthermore, the two brushless excitation components are formed by coil windings wound on an excitation frame, and the excitation frame is made of a magnetically conductive material.

[0015] Furthermore, there is an air gap δ1 between the two brushless excitation components and the inner jaw assembly, and an air gap δ2 between the two components and the outer jaw assembly; there is an air gap δ3 between the stator assembly and the inner jaw assembly.

[0016] Furthermore, when the two brushless excitation components are energized with DC, they provide excitation magnetic fields in opposite directions to the two pairs of claw pole structures; when the rotor rotates, a rotating magnetic field is formed, the stator windings cut the magnetic lines of force, and output three-phase AC power.

[0017] Furthermore, the stator assembly is formed by stacking and welding silicon steel sheets to form a stator core, which has 96 slots and three sets of stator windings are wound on the core.

[0018] Furthermore, of the three sets of stator windings, two sets are main windings with the same winding method and a 30° difference between them, and the two main windings are connected in parallel for output. The third set of windings is the excitation source winding.

[0019] The advantages of this invention compared to the prior art are:

[0020] 1) This invention adopts a brushless claw pole structure, which eliminates the slip ring and brush components in the traditional brushed motor structure, extends the motor maintenance time, and increases the motor power in the same volume.

[0021] 2) This invention employs a two-pair claw pole structure, with the inner and outer claws welded together by a magnetic shielding welding block, which improves the centrifugal deformation problem caused by the excessive length of the claw pole structure under high-speed rotation.

[0022] 3) This invention uses two sets of main windings connected in parallel to reduce the output ripple value.

[0023] 4) This invention uses an independent excitation source winding to isolate the excitation power supply from the motor output, reducing the difficulty of excitation control. Attached Figure Description

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, a brushless claw-pole motor structure includes a housing assembly 4, a stator assembly 5, a rotor assembly 11, two brushless excitation assemblies 3, a front cover assembly 1, a rear cover assembly 8, a fan 9, and spring wave plates 10. The stator assembly 5 is housed within the housing assembly 4 and is coaxially assembled with the rotor assembly 11. The rotor assembly 11 is assembled with the housing assembly 4 via the front cover assembly 1 and the rear cover assembly 8. The two brushless excitation assemblies 3 are respectively mounted on the front cover assembly 1 and the rear cover assembly 8 and connected in series. The fan 9 is mounted on the shaft of the rotor assembly 11, and the bearing in the rear cover assembly 8 is axially preloaded by the spring wave plates 10. The motor is self-cooled by the fan 9. In this structure, the brushless excitation assemblies 3 are directly excited by direct current, eliminating the need for a brush assembly structure. At the same power density, this results in a smaller junction size and longer lifespan compared to traditional brushed motors.

[0031] During assembly, the rotor assembly 11 is first installed into the front cover assembly 1 via bearings, forming the front cover-rotor assembly. Then, the stator assembly 5 is installed into the housing assembly 4, followed by the front cover-rotor assembly into the housing assembly 4, which is then tightened with screws. Next, the rear cover assembly 8 is installed into the rotor assembly 11 and housing assembly 4. Finally, the spring wave plate 10, fan 9, etc., are installed sequentially. The structure of the rotor assembly 11, compared to a single-pole structure of the same size, exhibits less deformation due to centrifugal force, making it suitable for high-speed structures.

[0032] The housing assembly contains the stator assembly, which is coaxially assembled with the rotor assembly and has a small air gap. Specifically, for example... Figure 5 As shown, there is an air gap δ1 between the two brushless excitation components and the inner claw assembly, and an air gap δ2 between the two components and the outer claw assembly; there is an air gap δ3 between the stator assembly and the inner claw assembly. δ1 is the main air gap of the generator, providing a three-phase rotating magnetic field for the stator; δ2 and δ3 are auxiliary air gaps, allowing the two brushless claw pole excitation components to be directly mounted on the front cover assembly and the rear cover assembly, without rotating with the rotor assembly, thus realizing the brushless excitation structure of the motor.

[0033] This invention employs a brushless claw pole structure, eliminating the slip rings and brushes found in traditional brushed motors, thus extending motor maintenance time and increasing motor power within the same volume.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the rotor assembly 11 consists of two inner jaw assemblies 6 and two outer jaw assemblies 2 welded together by 64 magnetic shielding blocks 7. The two inner jaw assemblies 6 are interference-fitted onto the shaft in a back-to-back structure. The inner jaw assemblies 6 and outer jaw assemblies 2 are made of magnetically conductive 10# steel, and the magnetic shielding blocks 7 are made of non-magnetically conductive 0Cr16Ni14 steel.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the claw pole angles of the two inner claw assemblies 6 are the same, and the claw poles of the two outer claw assemblies 2 are 22.5° different from the claw poles of the inner claw assemblies 6. The magnetic shielding welding block 7 is located at the claw tip of the inner claw assembly 6 and the outer claw assembly 2, ensuring that the magnetic shielding welding block 7 is flush with the claw tip.

[0036] The rotor assembly 11 formed by two pairs of claw pole structures avoids the problem of large centrifugal deformation at high speeds caused by the excessive axial length of a single pair of claw pole structures. Therefore, the present invention is suitable for high-speed motors.

[0037] Two brushless excitation components 3 are fixed to the front cover assembly 1 and the rear cover assembly 8 with screws and connected in series. When the excitation coil is energized with DC, it provides excitation magnetic fields in opposite directions to the two pairs of claw pole structures. When the rotor rotates, a rotating magnetic field is formed, the stator winding cuts the magnetic lines of force, and outputs three-phase AC.

[0038] The stator assembly is formed by laminating and welding silicon steel sheets to create the stator core. The stator core has 96 slots and employs three sets of stator windings, two of which are the main windings. The windings are laid in the same manner but differ by 30° from each other. Figure 4 As shown, this invention employs two sets of main windings connected in parallel to reduce high-order harmonics in the output voltage. The third winding is the excitation source winding, which supplies power to the excitation winding independently. This invention uses an independent excitation source winding to isolate the excitation power supply from the motor output, eliminating the influence between the main winding output and the excitation power supply, and reducing the difficulty of excitation control.

[0039] The brushless claw-pole generator of this invention has superior performance compared to other similar products:

[0040]

[0041] The brushless claw pole generator of this invention has a structure of two pairs of rotors and two excitation components, which is suitable for high-speed motors. No relevant literature has been found on this type of motor.

[0042] The parts of this invention not described in detail are well-known to those skilled in the art.
