Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of axial motors, and in particular to an axial motor rotor, an axial motor, a powertrain and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] Compared with the traditional radial magnetic field permanent magnet motor, the axial magnetic field permanent magnet motor has significant advantages such as compact structure, high torque density and high efficiency. In the prior art, the axial magnetic field permanent magnet motor has a low speed in practical applications, and the structure is mostly a surface-mounted structure. As the operating frequency of the rotor increases, the eddy current loss of the traditional surface-mounted permanent magnet rotor structure increases significantly, which will cause the motor performance to decline. At the same time, the rotor reluctance torque component is small, and the power drops quickly at high speeds. Considering the structural strength and the need to maintain a large power at high speeds, it is a preferred solution to make the rotor core into an integral annular structure and embed the magnetic steel in the rotor core. However, the annular core structure is generally wound by silicon steel sheets, and its inner ring wall is an Archimedean involute rather than a circle, which makes it difficult for the inner and outer ring walls of the rotor core to effectively cooperate with other motor rotor structural parts through interference, making the connection between the inner ring wall of the magnetic steel and the motor shaft unreliable and difficult to improve the structural strength. In addition, since the slots on the wound core are punched out by a single punch, their specifications and dimensions are fixed, which means that the magnetic steel cannot be fan-shaped, which will result in a smaller core size occupied by the magnetic steel at the outer diameter of the core and insufficient motor performance. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present application provides an axial motor rotor, an axial motor, a powertrain and a vehicle.

[0004] In a first aspect, the present application provides an axial motor rotor, which comprises a rotor support and a magnet structure; the rotor support comprises a first support portion and a second support portion which are coaxially arranged, and the first support portion is sleeved on a side of the second support portion which is away from the axis of the second support portion; the magnet structure comprises a plurality of magnet units, the plurality of magnet units are arranged in sequence along the circumference of the second support portion, and each of the plurality of magnet units is located between the first support portion and the second support portion, the magnet units are respectively fixed to the first support portion and the second support portion at both ends along the radial direction of the second support portion, the magnet unit comprises a first soft magnet and a first permanent magnet, and at least part of the first soft magnet and at least part of the first permanent magnet are stacked along the axial direction of the second support portion.

[0005] In the present application, on the first aspect, the magnet structure is fixed between the first support part and the second support part, and the two radial ends of the magnet unit along the second support part are respectively fixed to the first support part and the second support part, thereby improving the structural stability between the magnet structure and the rotor bracket, thereby increasing the overall reliability of the axial motor rotor; on the second aspect, the rotor bracket uses two coaxially arranged support parts to limit and fix the two radial ends of the magnet unit. The rotor bracket has a simple structure and saves space, so that the saved space can be used to fill the magnet unit, which is beneficial to increase the volume of the magnet unit, and then to increase the magnetic density, thereby improving the performance of the axial motor; on the third aspect, a plurality of magnet units surround the second support part to form an annular magnet structure, and each magnet unit only occupies the annular magnet structure. A part of the structure, compared with the overall annular magnet structure, the magnet structure formed by splicing a plurality of magnet units around is simpler to process and has higher processing accuracy, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of the axial motor; in the fourth aspect, each magnet unit includes a first soft magnet and a first permanent magnet that are at least partially stacked along the axial direction of the second support portion, the first soft magnet is conducive to the flow of magnetic lines of force, and provides a smooth flow path for the magnetic lines of force. When the first soft magnet is located on the side of the first permanent magnet away from the air gap, the magnetic lines of force flowing outward from the first permanent magnet can flow into the first permanent magnet in the adjacent magnet unit through the first soft magnet. Compared with the magnetic lines of force of the first permanent magnet flowing into the first permanent magnet in the connected magnet unit through the air, the first soft magnet is more conducive to the flow of magnetic lines of force than air, and can reduce magnetic flux loss.

[0006] In a possible implementation, the circumferential dimension of the magnet unit gradually increases from one end close to the second support portion to one end away from the second support portion. Since the second support portion is located on the inner side and the first support portion is located on the outer side, the circumferential dimension of the first support portion is greater than the circumferential dimension of the second support portion, so that the space between the first support portion and the second support portion gradually increases from the area close to the second support portion to the area close to the first support portion. In this embodiment, the magnet unit is arranged as above, so that the magnet unit is fan-shaped, so as to be able to adapt to the space between the first support portion and the second support portion, so that the magnet unit fills a larger area between the first support portion and the second support portion, making full use of the internal space of the rotor bracket, increasing the area of ​​the magnet unit, improving the magnetic density, and increasing the output torque.

[0007] In a possible implementation, the first permanent magnet is continuous along the radial direction of the second support portion. If the first permanent magnet is not continuous along the radial direction of the second support portion, but is arranged radially by a plurality of sub-magnet units, the permanent magnet generally has a high structural strength and is difficult to process. For example, if the permanent magnet is a magnetic steel, it is difficult to align the surfaces of the three permanent magnets along both sides of the circumference, and the processing cost is high. If the surfaces of the three permanent magnets along both sides of the circumference are not aligned, the space of the rotor bracket will be wasted, so that the filling amount of the permanent magnet is reduced, thereby reducing the performance of the axial motor; and the three sub-magnet units require three sets of stamping dies, and the amount of magnetic steel molds is relatively large. In order to ensure the coaxiality of the inner and outer arc walls of the three sub-magnet units, the processing accuracy requirements are high, which makes the processing technology complicated. In this implementation, the first permanent magnet is continuous along the radial direction of the second support portion, and the structure that is a continuous whole in the radial direction can align the surfaces of the first permanent magnet along both sides of the circumference, which is not only simple to process, but also conducive to increasing the volume of the magnet unit and improving the magnetic density.

[0008] In a possible implementation, the projection of the first permanent magnet on the first soft magnet along the axial direction of the second support portion is located inside the first soft magnet. The arrangement in this implementation makes the circumferential size of the first soft magnet larger than the circumferential size of the first permanent magnet, which is beneficial to gathering magnetic flux lines and conductive magnetism. In this implementation, the area of ​​the maximum surface of the first permanent magnet is smaller than the area of ​​the maximum surface of the first soft magnet, so that most or all of the magnetic lines of force flowing out of the first permanent magnet can enter the first soft magnet, gather through the first soft magnet, and flow into adjacent magnet units through the first soft magnet.

[0009] In a possible implementation, the magnet unit further includes a second soft magnet, the first permanent magnet includes a first main body, a first sub-part, and a second sub-part, the first soft magnet, the first main body, and the second soft magnet are stacked along the axial direction of the second support part, and the first sub-part and the second sub-part are arranged on both sides of the first main body and the second soft magnet along the circumferential direction of the second support part. In this embodiment, the first soft magnet and the second soft magnet are respectively arranged on both sides of the first permanent magnet along the axial direction, so that the magnetic lines of force on both sides of the first permanent magnet along the axial direction are gathered by the soft magnets, thereby increasing the air gap magnetic flux density. In this embodiment, the arrangement of the first sub-part and the second sub-part is conducive to gathering the magnetic lines of force. When the first sub-part and the second sub-part protrude toward one side of the air gap, the magnetic lines of force converge into the winding coil on the stator, so that the air gap magnetic flux waveform is close to a sine wave, which can increase the output torque and reduce the torque fluctuation.

[0010] In a possible implementation, the first permanent magnet is a magnetic steel, wherein the circumferential dimension of the first main body gradually increases from the end close to the second support portion to the end away from the second support portion. The first main body is fan-shaped, wherein the first main body is also a magnetic steel, and the magnetic steel is fan-shaped, which can make full use of the space in the rotor bracket, and will not cause the motor performance to be insufficient due to the small size of the magnet unit occupied by the magnetic steel at the outer diameter. The magnetic steel is fan-shaped, which can effectively improve the performance of the axial motor; and the magnetic steel adopts a solution built into the magnetic unit, which improves the magnetic resistance torque component of the axial motor, so that the axial motor can still maintain a large power under high-speed conditions.

[0011] In a possible implementation, in the first permanent magnet, the first main body, the first subsection and the second subsection are independent structures, which is convenient for processing. Exemplarily, when the first permanent magnet is a magnetic steel, the magnetic steel has a large strength and is not easy to shape. In this embodiment, three independent structures are used to form a first permanent magnet in a "U" shape, which is convenient for processing.

[0012] In a possible implementation, the magnet unit further includes a second permanent magnet, a surface of the second soft magnet facing away from the first main body is provided with a groove, and the second permanent magnet is located in the groove. In this embodiment, the second permanent magnet and the first permanent magnet are used together to generate magnetic lines of force, increase magnetic flux, increase output torque, and improve motor performance.

[0013] In a possible implementation, the projection of the second permanent magnet on the first main body along the axial direction of the second support portion is located inside the first main body. In this embodiment, the second permanent magnet and the first main body are arranged as above, so that the circumferential size of the second permanent magnet is smaller than the circumferential size of the first main body, and when the second permanent magnet is closer to the air gap than the first main body, the area of ​​the magnetic force lines of the second permanent magnet is smaller than the area of ​​the magnetic force lines of the first main body, and the magnetic force lines gradually gather from the first main body to the direction of the air gap, which is conducive to increasing the magnetic density passing through the air gap.

[0014] In a possible implementation, the curvature of the second permanent magnet along the circumference of the second support portion is smaller than the curvature of the first main body along the circumference of the second support portion. The circumference of the second support portion is also the circumference of the motor shaft, or is also the circumference of the first support portion, or is also the circumference of the magnet structure. As shown in the figure, the curvature of the second permanent magnet along the circumference is smaller than the curvature of the first main body along the circumference, so that the magnet unit is more conducive to gathering magnetic lines of force, so that the magnetic flux entering the air gap is closer to a sine wave.

[0015] In a possible implementation, the first soft magnet and the second soft magnet are soft magnetic composite magnets. Soft magnetic composite magnets refer to magnets formed by processing soft magnetic composite materials, which can reduce high-frequency eddy current losses and increase application frequency, and the soft magnetic composite materials are easy to shape and can be processed into soft magnetic structures of desired shapes. For example, a groove can be processed in the second soft magnet, wherein the groove matches the shape of the second permanent magnet, so that the second permanent magnet can be accommodated in the groove, and the two sides of the second permanent magnet along the circumferential direction are abutted by the two side walls of the groove, which can improve the stability of the second permanent magnet along the circumferential direction.

[0016] In a possible implementation, the magnet unit further includes a third soft magnet, the second permanent magnet includes a second main body, a third sub-part, and a fourth sub-part, the third soft magnet is located on a side of the second main body away from the second soft magnet, and the third sub-part and the fourth sub-part are arranged on both sides of the second main body and the third soft magnet along the first direction. In this embodiment, the third sub-part and the fourth sub-part of the second permanent magnet protrude toward the air gap relative to the second main body, thereby improving the effect of gathering magnetic lines of force, thereby making the air gap magnetic flux waveform closer to a sine wave, thereby improving the air gap magnetic flux.

[0017] In a possible implementation, at least one of the first soft magnet, the second soft magnet and the third soft magnet is a soft magnetic composite magnet. A soft magnetic composite magnet refers to a magnet formed by processing a soft magnetic composite material, which can reduce high-frequency eddy current loss and increase the application frequency. The soft magnetic composite material is easy to shape and can be processed into a soft magnetic structure of a desired shape.

[0018] In a possible implementation, the magnet unit further includes a second soft magnet and a second permanent magnet, the first soft magnet, the first permanent magnet and the second soft magnet are stacked along the axial direction of the second support portion, a groove is provided on the surface of the second soft magnet facing away from the first permanent magnet, the second permanent magnet is located in the groove, and the projection of the second permanent magnet on the first permanent magnet along the axial direction of the second support portion is located in the first permanent magnet. In this embodiment, the cross-section of the first permanent magnet and the second permanent magnet is an "I"-shaped structure, the second permanent magnet is located in the groove of the second soft magnet, and the second permanent magnet is covered by the second soft magnet on both sides along the circumferential direction, so that the magnetic lines of force flowing out from both sides of the second permanent magnet along the circumferential direction can be gathered by the second soft magnet, thereby increasing the air gap magnetic density.

[0019] In a possible implementation, the rotor bracket further includes a plurality of positioning posts, each of which has two ends fixedly connected to the first support portion and the second support portion, respectively, and the positioning posts separate two adjacent magnet units, and a portion of the first support portion and a portion of the second support portion between the two adjacent positioning posts and the two connected positioning posts enclose a receiving space, and the magnet unit is located in the receiving space. In this embodiment, the positioning posts are used to fix the first support portion and the second support portion to improve the stability between the first support portion and the second support portion; in addition, the rotor bracket composed of the first support portion, the second support portion and the positioning posts is a bracket structure, which has more space, which is conducive to heat dissipation of the magnet structure.

[0020] In a possible implementation manner, the magnet unit may be bonded to the first support portion, the second support portion, and the positioning post by adhesive.

[0021] In a possible implementation, after the magnet unit is mounted on the rotor bracket, adhesive may be filled in the gap between the magnet unit and the rotor bracket to enhance the bonding strength and improve the structural reliability.

[0022] In a possible implementation, the rotor support further includes limiting ribs, which are located on both sides of the positioning column along the circumferential direction, and the limiting ribs are provided on the opposite surfaces of two adjacent positioning columns, and the limiting ribs are used to be inserted into the limiting grooves of the magnet unit, thereby improving the structural reliability of the magnet unit and the rotor support.

[0023] In a possible implementation, a through hole extending radially along the second support portion is provided in the positioning column, and the through hole is conducive to heat dissipation.

[0024] In a possible implementation, the rotor bracket is a non-magnetic bracket. A non-magnetic bracket can reduce magnetic leakage and magnetic flux loss, so that most of the magnetic flux of two adjacent magnet units flows into the winding coil of the stator, increasing the output torque. If a magnetic bracket is used, the magnetic bracket will cause part of the magnetic flux to be dispersed from the rotor bracket in the radial direction, thereby consuming part of the magnetic flux, which will affect the performance of the axial motor.

[0025] In a possible implementation, the size of the cross section of the second permanent magnet gradually decreases from the end close to the first main body to the end away from the first main body. The cross section of the second permanent magnet refers to the cross section obtained by cutting the second permanent magnet along the axial direction of the second support portion with an arc line with the same arc as the second permanent magnet. In this embodiment, the size of the cross section of the second permanent magnet gradually decreases from the end close to the first main body to the end away from the first main body, so that the size of the end close to the air gap side is smaller than the size of the end away from the air gap side, so that the magnetic lines of force are more concentrated to one side of the air gap, so that the air gap magnetic flux waveform is closer to a sine wave, and the air gap magnetic flux is improved.

[0026] In a possible implementation, the magnet unit further includes a third soft magnet, the second permanent magnet includes a second main body, a third sub-part, and a fourth sub-part, the third soft magnet is located on a side of the second main body away from the second soft magnet, and the third sub-part and the fourth sub-part are arranged on both sides of the second main body and the third soft magnet along the circumference of the second support part. In this embodiment, the cross-section of the first permanent magnet is an "I"-shaped structure, and the cross-section of the second permanent magnet is a "U"-shaped structure. The third sub-part and the fourth sub-part of the second permanent magnet protrude toward the air gap side relative to the second main body, thereby enhancing the effect of gathering magnetic lines of force, thereby making the air gap magnetic flux waveform closer to a sine wave, thereby enhancing the air gap magnetic flux.

[0027] In a possible implementation, in the second permanent magnet, the angle between the third section and the fourth section and the second main body is greater than 90°; in the first permanent magnet, the angle between the first section and the second section and the first main body is greater than 90°.

[0029] In a possible implementation, the axial motor includes two axial motor rotors, both of which are mounted on the motor shaft and fixedly connected to the motor shaft, and the two axial motor rotors are located on both sides of the stator along the axial direction of the motor shaft.

[0088] The axial motor rotor of the present application is described in detail below.

[0089] See also Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8a , Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the axial motor rotor 10 provided in the first embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 for Figure 6 A schematic diagram of the axial motor rotor 10 as seen from the side facing away from the stator 12, Figure 8a for Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the structure of the rotor support 100. In this embodiment, the axial motor rotor 10 includes a rotor support 100 and a magnet structure 200. The rotor support 100 includes a first support portion 110 and a second support portion 120 that are coaxially arranged, and the first support portion 110 is sleeved on a side of the second support portion 120 that is away from the axis of the second support portion 120 (such as Figure 8a As shown); the magnet structure 200 includes a plurality of magnet units 210 (as Figure 6 As shown), the plurality of magnet units 210 are sequentially arranged along the circumferential direction C of the second support portion 120, and each of the plurality of magnet units 210 is located between the first support portion 110 and the second support portion 120 (as shown). Figure 7 As shown), the two ends of the magnet unit 210 along the radial direction R of the second support part 120 are respectively fixed to the first support part 110 and the second support part 120, and the magnet unit 210 includes a first soft magnet 211 and a first permanent magnet 212 (as shown Fig. 9 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown), at least part of the first soft magnetic body 211 and at least part of the first permanent magnet 212 are stacked along the axial direction of the second support portion 120.

[0090] The first support portion 110 and the second support portion 120 are in annular shape and are used to be sleeved on the motor shaft 11 and fixedly connected to the motor shaft 11. For example, a support fixing plate 121 is provided on the inner side of the second support portion 120, and the support fixing plate 121 is fixedly connected to the first fixing plate 15 on the motor shaft 11 by screws (such as Figure 2 shown).

[0091] In this embodiment, the axis of the second support portion 120 coincides with the axis of the motor shaft 11, the axial direction O of the second support portion 120 coincides with the axial direction of the motor shaft 11, and the extension direction of the axis of the second support portion 120 is the axial direction O of the second support portion 120, wherein the radial direction R of the second support portion 120 is the same as the radial direction of the motor shaft 11.

[0092] In this embodiment, a plurality of magnet units 210 are arranged in sequence along the circumferential direction C of the second support portion 120, wherein the circumferential direction C of the second support portion 120 refers to the direction surrounding the second support portion 120, and a plurality of magnet units 210 are arranged around the second support portion 120, and each magnet unit 210 is respectively fixed to the first support portion 110 and the second support portion 120 at both ends along the radial direction R of the second support portion 120, so that each magnet unit 210 is stably fixed between the first support portion 110 and the second support portion 120. Among them, the first support portion 110 and the second support portion 120 are spaced apart, and the space between the two is used to accommodate the magnet unit 210. In this application, the rotor bracket 100 limits and fixes the two ends of the magnet unit 210 along the radial direction R by two annular support portions 110 and 120. The rotor bracket 100 has a simple structure and saves space, so that the saved space can be used to fill the magnet unit 210, which is conducive to increasing the volume of the magnet unit 210, thereby facilitating the increase of the magnetic density, thereby improving the performance of the axial motor 1. Among them, the performance indicators of the axial motor include torque constant, back-electromotive force coefficient, permanent magnet usage, torque output, AC and DC axis inductance and other performance indicator parameters.

[0093] In this embodiment, a plurality of magnet units 210 surround the second support portion 120 to form an annular magnet structure 200, and each magnet unit 210 only occupies a portion of the annular magnet structure 200. Compared with the magnet structure that is annular as a whole, the magnet structure 200 formed by the plurality of magnet units 210 surrounding and splicing is simpler to process. For the magnet structure 200 that is annular as a whole, it needs to be sleeved on the motor shaft 11, and the inner wall of the overall annular magnet structure 200 needs to be processed into a circle in order to be well installed with the motor shaft 11, but it is generally difficult to make it into a circle, and the process accuracy is difficult to achieve. If the accuracy is not enough, the inner wall of the magnet structure 200 does not match the motor shaft 11, and the connection reliability between the axial motor rotor 10 and the motor shaft 11 deteriorates, thereby making the overall reliability of the axial motor 1 deteriorate and easy to be damaged. In the present application, the processing technology for each magnet unit 210 is simpler. The two ends of each magnet unit 210 along the radial direction R are arc-shaped. The arc shape is easier to process than the circle and has higher processing accuracy. The size of each magnet unit 210 can be the same. After the magnet unit 210 is processed, multiple magnet units 210 are spliced ​​around the first support part 110 and the second support part 120, wherein the size of the first support part 110 and the second support part 120 can be set according to the size of the magnet structure 200. It can be seen from this that the magnet structure 200 formed by multiple magnet units 210 surrounding the second support part 120 in the present application is easier to process and has higher processing accuracy, which is conducive to improving the reliability of the axial motor 1.

[0094] See also Fig. 9 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 ,in Fig. 9 is a partial schematic diagram of the magnet structure 200, Fig.10 is a schematic structural diagram of the magnet unit 210, Fig.11 Schematic diagram of the magnet unit 210 viewed from the side away from the axis. In this embodiment, each magnet unit 210 includes a first soft magnet 211 and a first permanent magnet 212 stacked at least partially along the axial direction O of the second support portion 120. The first soft magnet 211 facilitates the flow of magnetic lines of force L and provides a smooth flow path for the magnetic lines of force L. When the first soft magnet 211 is located on the side of the first permanent magnet 212 away from the air gap Q (such as Fig.11 As shown, the magnetic lines of force L flowing outward from the first permanent magnet 212 can flow into the first permanent magnet 212 in the adjacent magnet unit 210 through the first soft magnet 211. Compared with the magnetic lines of force L of the first permanent magnet 212 flowing into the first permanent magnet 212 in the connected magnet unit 210 through the air, the first soft magnet 211 is more conducive to the flow of the magnetic lines of force L than the air, thereby reducing the magnetic flux loss.

[0095] In a possible implementation, two adjacent magnet units 210 are a pair of polar magnet units, wherein the magnetization directions of the first permanent magnets 212 in the two adjacent magnet units 210 are opposite, so that the magnetic fluxes of the two adjacent magnet units 210 form a loop.

[0096] In one embodiment, the first permanent magnet 212 is also called magnetic steel. Commonly used permanent magnetic materials are divided into aluminum-nickel-cobalt permanent magnetic alloys, iron-chromium-cobalt permanent magnetic alloys, permanent magnetic ferrites, rare earth permanent magnetic materials (neodymium iron boron Nd2Fe14B) and composite permanent magnetic materials, etc.

[0097] See again Figure 6 and Figure 7 In a possible implementation, the circumferential dimension of the magnet unit 210 gradually increases from the end close to the second support portion 120 to the end away from the second support portion 120. Since the second support portion 120 is located on the inner side and the first support portion 110 is located on the outer side, the circumferential dimension of the first support portion 110 is greater than the circumferential dimension of the second support portion 120, so that the space between the first support portion 110 and the second support portion 120 gradually increases from the area close to the second support portion 120 to the area close to the first support portion 110. In this embodiment, the magnet unit 210 is arranged as above, so that the magnet unit 210 is fan-shaped, so as to be able to adapt to the space between the first support portion 110 and the second support portion 120, so that the magnet unit 210 fills a larger area between the first support portion 110 and the second support portion 120, fully utilizing the internal space of the rotor bracket 100, increasing the area of ​​the magnet unit 210, improving the magnetic density, and increasing the output torque.

[0098] In a possible implementation, the first permanent magnet 212 is continuous along the radial direction of the second support portion 120. If the first permanent magnet 212 is discontinuous along the radial direction of the second support portion 120, such as Fig.12 As shown, the permanent magnet includes three sub-magnet units 201 / 202 / 203 distributed in the radial direction. The permanent magnet generally has a high structural strength and is difficult to process. For example, if the permanent magnet is magnetic steel, it is difficult to align the surfaces of the three permanent magnets along the circumferential direction C on both sides, and the processing cost is high. If the surfaces of the three permanent magnets along the circumferential direction C on both sides are not aligned (such as Fig.12As shown), the space of the rotor bracket 100 will be wasted, the filling amount of the permanent magnet will be reduced, and the performance of the axial motor 1 will be reduced; and the three sub-magnet units require three sets of stamping dies, the amount of magnetic steel molds is relatively large, and in order to ensure the coaxiality of the inner and outer arc walls of the three sub-magnet units, the processing accuracy is required to be high, which makes the processing technology complicated. In this embodiment, the first permanent magnet 212 is continuous along the radial direction R of the second support part 120, and the continuous integral structure in the radial direction R can align the surfaces of the first permanent magnet 212 on both sides of the circumferential direction C, which is not only simple to process, but also conducive to increasing the volume of the magnet unit 210 and improving the magnetic density.

[0099] In a possible implementation, the projection of the first permanent magnet 212 on the first soft magnetic body 211 along the axial direction O of the second support portion 120 is located inside the first soft magnetic body 211 (eg, Fig.11 As shown). In the configuration of this embodiment, the circumferential dimension of the first soft magnet 211 is larger than the circumferential dimension of the first permanent magnet 212, which is beneficial to gather the magnetic flux lines L and facilitate magnetic conductivity. In this embodiment, the area of ​​the maximum surface of the first permanent magnet 212 is smaller than the area of ​​the maximum surface of the first soft magnet 211, so that most or all of the magnetic lines L flowing out of the first permanent magnet 212 can enter the first soft magnet 211, and be gathered through the first soft magnet 211, and flow into the adjacent magnet unit 210 through the first soft magnet 211. Among them, the maximum surface of the first soft magnet 211 and the maximum surface of the first permanent magnet 212 are perpendicular to the axial direction O of the second support portion 120.

[0100] Please continue reading Fig.10 and Fig.11 In a possible implementation, the magnet unit 210 further includes a second soft magnet 213, the first permanent magnet 212 includes a first main body 2121, a first sub-part 2122 and a second sub-part 2123, the first soft magnet 211, the first main body 2121 and the second soft magnet 213 are stacked along the axial direction O of the second support part 120, and the first sub-part 2122 and the second sub-part 2123 are arranged on both sides of the first main body 2121 and the second soft magnet 213 along the circumferential direction C of the second support part 120. Fig.13As shown, in the present embodiment, the first soft magnet 211 and the second soft magnet 213 are respectively arranged on both sides of the first permanent magnet 212 along the axial direction O, so that the magnetic lines of force L on both sides of the first permanent magnet 212 along the axial direction O are gathered by the soft magnets, thereby increasing the air gap magnetic flux density. In the present embodiment, the arrangement of the first subdivision 2122 and the second subdivision 2123 is conducive to gathering the magnetic lines of force L. When the first subdivision 2122 and the second subdivision 2123 protrude toward one side of the air gap Q, the magnetic lines of force L converge into the winding coil on the stator 12, so that the air gap magnetic flux waveform is close to a sine wave, which can increase the output torque and reduce the torque fluctuation. In the present embodiment, the cross-section of the first permanent magnet 212 is a "U" shape (such as Fig.13 shown).

[0101] In a possible implementation, the first permanent magnet 212 is a magnetic steel, wherein the circumferential dimension of the first main body 2121 gradually increases from the end close to the second support portion 120 to the end away from the second support portion 120. The first main body 2121 is fan-shaped, wherein the first main body 2121 is also a magnetic steel, and the magnetic steel is fan-shaped, which can fully utilize the space in the rotor bracket 100, and will not cause the magnet unit 210 occupied by the magnetic steel at the outer diameter to be small in size and cause insufficient motor performance. The magnetic steel is fan-shaped, which can effectively improve the performance of the axial motor; and the magnetic steel adopts a solution built into the magnet unit 210, which improves the magnetic resistance torque component of the axial motor 1, so that the axial motor 1 can still maintain a large power under high-speed conditions.

[0102] In a possible implementation, the magnetization direction of the first main body 2121 is the same as the axial direction O of the second support portion 120, and the magnetization directions of the first sub-part 2122 and the second sub-part 2123 intersect with the axial direction O of the second support portion 120. The magnetic lines of force L in the first sub-part 2122 and the second sub-part 2123 flow in or out from the middle of the two, and the magnetic lines of force L flowing in or out from the middle of the first sub-part 2122 and the second sub-part 2123 attract the magnetic lines of force flowing in or out of the first main body 2121 to be more concentrated, thereby making the magnetic flux waveform passing through the air gap close to a sine wave, which can increase the output torque and reduce the torque fluctuation. In this embodiment, the magnetization direction of the first main body 2121 is perpendicular to the maximum surface of the first main body 2121, the magnetization direction of the first sub-part 2122 is perpendicular to the maximum surface of the first sub-part 2122, and the magnetization direction of the second sub-part 2123 is perpendicular to the maximum surface of the second sub-part 2123.

[0103] In a possible implementation, in the first permanent magnet 212, the first main body 2121, the first subsection 2122 and the second subsection 2123 are independent structures, which is convenient for processing. For example, when the first permanent magnet 212 is a magnetic steel, the magnetic steel has a large strength and is not easy to shape. In this embodiment, three independent structures are used to form the first permanent magnet 212 in a "U" shape, which is convenient for processing.

[0104] Please continue reading Fig.13 In a possible implementation, the magnet unit 210 further includes a second permanent magnet 214, a surface of the second soft magnet 213 facing away from the first main body 2121 is provided with a groove 2131, and the second permanent magnet 214 is located in the groove 2131. In this embodiment, the second permanent magnet 214 and the first permanent magnet 212 are used together to generate magnetic lines of force L, increase magnetic flux, increase output torque, and improve motor performance.

[0105] In one embodiment, the magnetization direction of the second permanent magnet 214 is perpendicular to the maximum surface of the second permanent magnet 214, or the magnetization direction of the second permanent magnet 214 is axial O. In one embodiment, the first main body 2121 and the second permanent magnet 214 are axially magnetized permanent magnets, and the first sub-portion 2122 and the second sub-portion 2123 are tangentially magnetized permanent magnets.

[0106] In a possible implementation, the first soft magnetic body 211 and the second soft magnetic body 213 are soft magnetic composite magnets. Soft magnetic composite magnets refer to magnets formed by processing soft magnetic composite materials, which can reduce high-frequency eddy current losses and increase the application frequency. In addition, the soft magnetic composite material is easy to shape and can be processed into a soft magnetic structure of a desired shape. For example, the second soft magnetic body 213 can be processed into a groove 2131 (such as Fig.11 As shown), the groove 2131 matches the shape of the second permanent magnet 214, so that the second permanent magnet 214 can be accommodated in the groove 2131, and the second permanent magnet 214 is abutted on both sides of the circumferential direction C by the two side walls of the groove 2131, which can improve the stability of the second permanent magnet 214 on both sides of the circumferential direction C.

[0107] In a possible implementation, the first permanent magnet 212 and the second permanent magnet 214 are magnetic steel.

[0108] In a possible implementation, the projection of the second permanent magnet 214 on the first main body 2121 along the axial direction O of the second support portion 120 is located inside the first main body 2121 (eg, Fig.13As shown). In the present embodiment, the second permanent magnet 214 and the first main body 2121 are arranged as above, so that the size of the second permanent magnet 214 along the circumferential direction C is smaller than the size of the first main body 2121 along the circumferential direction C. When the second permanent magnet 214 is closer to the air gap Q than the first main body 2121, the area of ​​the magnetic force lines of the second permanent magnet 214 is smaller than the area of ​​the magnetic force lines L of the first main body 2121, and the magnetic force lines L gradually gather from the first main body 2121 to the direction of the air gap Q, which is conducive to increasing the magnetic flux density passing through the air gap Q. In the present embodiment, the maximum surface of the second permanent magnet 214 is smaller than the maximum surface of the first main body 2121, and the maximum surface of the second permanent magnet 214 and the maximum surface of the first main body 2121 both intersect with the axial direction O of the second support portion 120.

[0109] See also Fig.14 In a possible implementation, the curvature of the second permanent magnet 214 along the circumferential direction C of the second support portion 120 is smaller than the curvature of the first main body 2121 along the circumferential direction C of the second support portion 120. The circumferential direction C of the second support portion 120 is also the circumferential direction of the motor shaft 11, or the circumferential direction of the first support portion 110, or the circumferential direction of the magnet structure 200. Fig.13 As shown, the arc of the second permanent magnet 214 along the circumferential direction C is γ1, and the arc of the first main body 2121 along the circumferential direction C is γ2, wherein γ1 is smaller than γ2, so that the magnet unit 210 is more conducive to gathering magnetic lines of force, making the magnetic flux entering the air gap Q closer to a sine wave.

[0110] In one embodiment, the dimensional parameters of each part in the magnet unit 210 can be adjusted as needed, for example, the thickness, curvature, radial size and other parameters of the first permanent magnet 212 and the first main body 2121 can be set, as well as the thickness, radial size and width and other parameters of the first section 2122 and the second section 2123 can be set, and the thickness, curvature, radial size and other parameters of the first soft magnet 211 and the second soft magnet 213 can be set, so that the axial motor 1 has better performance, for example, the required permanent magnet usage, torque output, AC and DC axis inductance and other performance indicators can be obtained.

[0111] See also Figure 8a and Figure 8b , Figure 8a This is a schematic structural diagram of a rotor support 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 8b for Figure 8aA partial enlarged view of the M portion in the figure. In a possible implementation, the rotor bracket 100 further includes a plurality of positioning posts 130, and both ends of each of the plurality of positioning posts 130 are fixedly connected to the first support portion 110 and the second support portion 120, respectively. The positioning posts 130 separate two adjacent magnet units 210, and a portion of the first support portion 110 and a portion of the second support portion 120 between two adjacent positioning posts 130 and two connected positioning posts 130 enclose a receiving space 140, and the magnet unit 210 is located in the receiving space 140. In this embodiment, the positioning posts 130 are used to fix the first support portion 110 and the second support portion 120, and to enhance the stability between the first support portion 110 and the second support portion 120; in addition, the rotor bracket 100 composed of the first support portion 110, the second support portion 120 and the positioning posts 130 is a bracket structure, which has more space, and is conducive to heat dissipation of the magnet structure 200.

[0112] In a possible implementation, the magnet unit 210 may be bonded to the first support portion 110 , the second support portion 120 , and the positioning post 130 by using adhesive.

[0113] In a possible implementation, after the magnet unit 210 is mounted on the rotor bracket 100 , adhesive may be filled in the gap between the magnet unit 210 and the rotor bracket 100 to enhance the bonding strength and improve the structural reliability.

[0114] In a possible implementation, the rotor support 100 further includes a limiting rib 150, which is located on both sides of the positioning column 130 along the circumferential direction C. The limiting rib 150 is provided on the opposite surfaces of two adjacent positioning columns 130, and the limiting rib 150 is used to be inserted into the limiting groove 230 of the magnet unit 210 (such as Fig.13 As shown), the structural reliability of the magnet unit 210 and the rotor bracket 100 is thereby improved.

[0115] For details, please refer to Fig.13 In this embodiment, in the axial direction O, there is a gap between the first section 2122 of the first permanent magnet 212 and the first soft magnetic body 211, and the first section 2122, the first soft magnetic body 211 and the first main body 2121 are arranged to form a limiting groove 230, and the limiting rib 150 is inserted into the limiting groove 230.

[0116] In other embodiments, other limiting structures may be further provided on the surfaces of the positioning column 130 , the first support portion 110 , and the second support portion 120 facing the receiving space 140 to position the magnet unit 210 and improve the structural reliability of the magnet unit 210 and the rotor bracket 100 .

[0117] In a possible implementation, the rotor bracket 100 is a non-magnetic bracket. The non-magnetic bracket can reduce magnetic leakage and magnetic flux loss, so that most of the magnetic flux of two adjacent magnet units 210 flows into the winding coil of the stator 12, increasing the output torque. If a magnetic bracket is used, the magnetic bracket will cause part of the magnetic flux to be dispersed from the rotor bracket 100 along the radial direction R, thereby consuming part of the magnetic flux, which will affect the performance of the axial motor 1.

[0118] Please continue reading Figure 8b In a possible implementation, a through hole 131 extending along the radial direction R of the second support portion 120 is provided in the positioning column 130. The through hole 131 is conducive to heat dissipation.
