Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the field of transmission technology in mechanical engineering, and is a magnetic force gear of a non-contact type, in particular a coaxial magnetic force gear of a magnetic concentration type magnetic adjusting device with embedded permanent magnets. The magnetic force gear can be applied to a non-contact variable speed system of high torque and high and low speed transmission, and the magnetic adjusting device of the magnetic force gear has higher deformation resistance, so that the practical environment of the magnetic force gear is greatly improved compared with a traditional magnetic force gear, and the magnetic force gear can be applied to a higher temperature working environment. BACKGROUND

[0002] In industrial production, a mechanical gear is a traditional mechanical transmission device, transmission is completed through mutual meshing between gear teeth, and the mechanical gear is widely applied to various industrial fields such as national defense, agriculture and automobile manufacturing due to the advantages of fixed transmission ratio, wide applicable speed and load range and long service life. However, the normal operation of the mechanical gear requires mutual contact, and problems such as noise, high maintenance cost and serious aging inevitably exist, so that the application scene of the mechanical gear is limited, and the installation and maintenance of the transmission system are difficult. With the continuous development of new industries, the shortcomings of the traditional mechanical gear are more and more obvious. With the development of modern science and technology and the improvement of the performance of permanent magnet materials, many scholars have proposed a solution of using a magnetic force gear structure to replace the traditional mechanical gear.

[0003] The magnetic force gear is driven by magnetic coupling force, and the force and torque are transmitted without contact through the magnetic field coupling in the air gap. Compared with the traditional mechanical gear, the magnetic force gear has the advantages of non-contact transmission, overload protection and high transmission efficiency. The high-performance magnetic force gear introduces a magnetic adjusting pole piece, and the permanent magnets in the inner and outer rotors are modulated by the magnetic adjusting pole piece to generate a harmonic magnetic field with the same number of magnetic pole pairs as the rotor permanent magnet in the inner and outer air gaps, thereby improving the utilization rate of the permanent magnet and greatly increasing the transmission efficiency of the magnetic force gear.

[0004] A kind of air gap adjustable magnetic force gear applying side edge sine magnetic adjusting device is disclosed in Chinese invention patent 201710461909.0 of Jiangsu University, which applies the side edge sine structure of magnetic adjusting block on the cylinder type magnetic force gear, and the 1 / 2 period sine curve applied by the magnetic adjusting block is changed in the axial direction, and the modulation effect of the 1 / 2 period sine curve is different in the air gap adjustment process. The permanent magnet end adopts the traditional magnetizing method, and the leakage magnetic field of the permanent magnet end is not designed to have a structure for processing, which will generate more leakage magnetic field, so that the torque density provided by the magnetic force gear is not high enough, and the magnetic adjusting device adopts a laminated structure of silicon steel sheet, which is prone to deformation when the magnetic force gear is working, and the two aspects greatly reduce the application range of the magnetic force gear.

[0005] A disc type magnetic gear using a magnetic gathering type magnetic adjusting device is disclosed in Jiangsu University's Chinese invention patent 201911052924.5. The magnetic adjusting device is divided into a modulation part and a magnetic gathering part, which can reduce the magnetic leakage of the permanent magnet and improve the torque density during modulation. The structure is mainly suitable for disc type magnetic gears, mostly for occasions with low coaxiality requirements, and the magnetic adjusting device is connected by rivets, which increases the eddy current generated by the magnetic gear during work, resulting in high temperature and accelerating the demagnetization of the permanent magnet. The magnetic adjusting device has many parts, which reduces the stability of the magnetic gear, and the sharp corners of multiple parts are not treated accordingly, without considering the magnetic saturation effect of the sharp corners. SUMMARY

The number of magnetic adjusting columns is n s , the number of pole pairs of the inner rotor permanent magnet is P1, the number of pole pairs of the outer rotor permanent magnet is P2, and they satisfy the relationship: n s =P1+P2.

[0008] The axial soft magnetic material part of the magnetic adjusting column in the magnetic adjusting device realizes the modulation of the magnetic field by concentrating the magnetic induction lines, the magnetic adjusting column end cover of the sealed type soft magnetic material is used to replace the magnetic adjusting column pressing ring fixed at the top end of the magnetic adjusting column, the magnetic induction lines generated at the end of the permanent magnet are concentrated, the leakage magnetic of the end of the inner rotor permanent magnet is effectively weakened, a magnetic gathering type magnetic adjusting device is formed as a whole, the purpose of the magnetic field modulation and the torque density enhancement of the magnetic gear is achieved.

[0009] The present application also comprises: the expression of the side edge of the magnetic adjusting column being a 1 / 2 period sinusoidal curve is In the formula, A is the amplitude of the 1 / 2 period sinusoidal curve, H s is the radial thickness of the magnetic adjusting pole piece. When the magnetic adjusting column is processed, the value of A in the function can be changed to change the shape of the side edge to change the magnetic gathering effect of the magnetic adjusting column.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, a coaxial magnetic gear with a permanent magnet embedded magnetic focusing type magnetic adjustment device consists of an outer rotor assembly III, an inner rotor assembly I, and a magnetic adjustment device assembly II.

[0028] The outer rotor assembly includes a driven shaft 1, an outer rotor yoke 3, and an outer rotor permanent magnet 4. The outer rotor yoke 3 is connected to the driven shaft via a key 2. The driven shaft 1 has a shoulder for positioning. The outer rotor yoke 3 has a hollowed-out structure with grooves 11 on its inner wall. The permanent magnets are installed face-to-face in the grooves inside the yoke, with three permanent magnets in each groove and zero gap between them. The inner rotor assembly includes a drive shaft 9, an inner rotor yoke 8, and an inner rotor permanent magnet 7. The inner rotor yoke 8 is connected to the drive shaft 9 via a key. The drive shaft 9 also has a shoulder for positioning. The inner rotor permanent magnet 7 is installed face-to-face on the side of the inner rotor yoke, with a close arrangement of the two magnets.

[0029] When the magnetic adjusting device is fixed in a non-closed mode by the magnetic adjusting column pressing ring 5, the magnetic adjusting device assembly includes the magnetic adjusting column pressing ring 5, the magnetic adjusting column 6 and the magnetic adjusting column base 7. The magnetic adjusting column 6 is connected with the magnetic adjusting column base 7 by welding. The magnetic adjusting column pressing ring 5 is provided with a slot with the same thickness as the magnetic adjusting column 6. The magnetic adjusting column pressing ring 5 is connected with the magnetic adjusting column 6 by welding after being matched. When working, the driving shaft 9 in the inner rotor assembly rotates, drives the inner rotor yoke 7 to rotate, and the inner rotor permanent magnet 8 generates a magnetic field. The magnetic field generated by the inner rotor assembly I is modulated by using the high magnetic permeability of the magnetic adjusting column 6. The modulated magnetic field interacts with the magnetic field generated by the outer rotor permanent magnet 3 on the outer rotor yoke 2, drives the outer rotor yoke 3 to rotate, and drives the driven shaft 1 in the outer rotor assembly III to rotate.

[0030] When the magnetic adjusting device is fixed in a closed mode by the magnetic adjusting column end cover 10, the magnetic adjusting device assembly includes the magnetic adjusting column 6, the magnetic adjusting column base 7 and the magnetic adjusting column end cover 10.

The magnetic field generated by the inner rotor assembly I is modulated by using the high magnetic permeability of the magnetic adjusting column 6. The modulated magnetic field interacts with the magnetic field generated by the outer rotor permanent magnet 3 on the outer rotor yoke 2, drives the outer rotor yoke 3 to rotate, and drives the driven shaft 1 in the outer rotor assembly III to rotate. Meanwhile, the material of the magnetic adjusting column end cover 10 is DT4 industrial pure iron, which has high magnetic permeability and suppresses the magnetic leakage at the end of the inner rotor permanent magnet 8, thereby enhancing the magnetic field density between the inner rotor assembly I and the outer rotor assembly III.

[0031] The side of the magnetic adjusting column 5 in the magnetic adjusting device adopts a 1 / 2 period sine curve structure, which effectively improves the modulation effect of the magnetic adjusting device on the magnetic field. The magnetic adjusting column 5 is made of DT4 industrial pure iron material as a whole. When the magnetic gear works, it can overcome a large radial force, thereby being not easy to deform, and further enhancing the strength and rigidity of the magnetic adjusting device. The magnetic adjusting column end cover 10 and the magnetic adjusting column pressing ring 4 are made of the same material as the magnetic adjusting column 6, which reduces the magnetic leakage and improves the stability of the magnetic adjusting column. The magnetic adjusting column base 6 is made of non-magnetic material such as stainless steel by casting and forming. The magnetic adjusting column base 6 is provided with a screw hole, which is convenient for fixing the magnetic adjusting device.

The permanent magnets are magnetized in the manner as shown in Figure 2 The one-way magnetization manner can reduce the magnetic flux between the outer rotor permanent magnets. The embedded slot design effectively reduces the end magnetic leakage of the outer rotor permanent magnet 3 and improves the utilization rate of the permanent magnet.
