TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of magnetic suspension bearings, and specifically relates to a radial-axial active magnetic suspension bearing suitable for a motor. BACKGROUND
[0002] The active magnetic suspension bearing system can provide a mechanical contact-free supporting force and has no mechanical friction, completely eliminates bearing heating and lubrication pollution problems caused thereby, is suitable for high-speed rotation occasions, and the supporting force of the active magnetic suspension bearing is controllable within a certain range. The active magnetic suspension bearing can be applied to an aero-engine and a micro gas turbine generator, can greatly improve the operation efficiency of the machine, and can effectively reduce the energy consumption in operation. The controllability of the active magnetic suspension bearing system makes the motor more stable during operation, has a longer service life, and is safer when passing through a critical speed.
[0003] At present, the magnetic suspension bearing is rarely applied to the aero-engine and the micro gas turbine generator at home and abroad. The successful application of the magnetic suspension bearing to the aero-engine and the micro gas turbine generator can make a new contribution to the supporting technology of the aero-engine and the gas turbine generator and fill the domestic blank. SUMMARY
[0004] The radial-axial active magnetic suspension bearing suitable for the motor can improve the operation efficiency of the motor, has an upgrading effect on the traditional motor, has a long service life, has no pollution, and meets the double-carbon requirement.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the application adopts the following technical scheme:
[0006] A radial-axial active magnetic suspension bearing for a motor, comprising a left end cover, an outer race, a right end cover and an inner race. Its features are that a radial magnetic suspension bearing rotor and a radial magnetic suspension bearing stator coil are installed on the left side of the inner cavity of the outer race, and a radial-axial sensor assembly is installed on the right side, while the right end cover is internally provided with an axial magnetic suspension bearing stator I and an axial magnetic suspension bearing stator II, which contain stator coils. The right side of the right end cover is connected to an auxiliary protection bearing seat, and the auxiliary protection bearing seat is internally provided with an auxiliary protection bearing. An axial displacement sensor detection ring, a radial displacement sensor detection ring and an axial magnetic suspension bearing rotor thrust disc are installed between the radial magnetic suspension bearing rotor and the axial magnetic suspension bearing stator II.
[0007] The radial magnetic suspension bearing rotor is stably suspended together by controllable magnetic radial attraction generated by the radial magnetic suspension bearing stator coil without contact, combined into a radial magnetic suspension bearing system and installed in the radial magnetic suspension bearing outer race. The radial-axial sensor assembly is a radial-axial sensor system composed of radial sensors and axial sensors installed on the radial-axial displacement sensor seat and bolted next to the radial magnetic suspension bearing system on the right side of the radial magnetic suspension bearing outer race, and the axial magnetic suspension bearing system is on the right side. The axial magnetic suspension bearing rotor thrust disc is stably suspended together by controllable magnetic axial attraction generated by the axial magnetic suspension bearing stator I and the axial magnetic suspension bearing stator II containing stator coils without contact, combined into an axial magnetic suspension bearing system and installed in the axial magnetic suspension bearing outer race right end cover. The auxiliary protection bearing is composed of two sets of high-speed angular contact ball bearings installed face to face into a radial-axial protection bearing system, with the inner ring of the radial-axial protection bearing system loosely fitted on the radial-axial magnetic suspension bearing inner race and the outer ring installed in the auxiliary protection bearing seat. The radial gap between the inner ring loosely fitted on the inner race and the outer ring is smaller than the gap between the radial magnetic suspension bearing stator and its radial magnetic suspension bearing rotor, which serves as protection, while the axial positioning adjustment sleeve I and the axial positioning adjustment sleeve II are separately and axially loosely fitted on the radial-axial magnetic suspension bearing inner race with a gap on both sides of the inner ring of the radial-axial protection bearing system, and the axial gap is smaller than the gap between the axial magnetic suspension bearing and its axial rotor thrust disc, which serves as protection, combined into an auxiliary protection bearing system. The radial magnetic suspension bearing rotor, radial displacement sensor detection ring, axial displacement sensor detection ring and axial magnetic suspension bearing rotor thrust disc are loosely fitted on the radial-axial magnetic suspension bearing inner race in the same way as the auxiliary protection bearing axial positioning adjustment sleeve I and the auxiliary protection bearing axial positioning adjustment sleeve II, combined into a radial-axial magnetic suspension bearing inner race rotor system. The left end cover, radial magnetic suspension bearing outer race, axial magnetic suspension bearing outer race right end cover and auxiliary protection bearing seat are fixedly connected together by countersunk head bolts, combined into a radial-axial magnetic suspension bearing outer race stator system.
[0008] After the main rotor shaft is installed inside the inner ring of the radial-axial magnetic levitation bearing, in the stationary state, the weight of the main rotor system is borne by the paired auxiliary protective bearings installed at both ends. In the working state, the radial magnetic levitation bearing stator coil, axial magnetic levitation bearing stator I, and axial magnetic levitation bearing stator II, all installed in the stator system of the outer ring of the radial-axial magnetic levitation bearing, and stator I and stator II (which contain stator coils), generate a rapid increase in radial and axial electromagnetic forces, causing the rotor system of the inner ring of the radial-axial magnetic levitation bearing to immediately float to the initial bias position. After reaching the initial position, the support... The rotor system, located on the radial-axial magnetic levitation bearing inner ring, is completely suspended. The inner ring of the auxiliary bearing is no longer in contact with the rotor system. The imbalance between the weight of the main shaft and the axial force of the impellers at both ends is entirely borne by the radial-axial magnetic force generated by the radial magnetic levitation bearing stator coils, axial magnetic levitation bearing stator I, axial magnetic levitation bearing stator II (stator I and stator II contain stator coils), and the radial-axial magnetic levitation bearing outer ring stator system. The external force drives the impellers at both ends to rotate at high speed, which in turn drives the generator rotor to rotate at high speed to generate electricity. When the motor support system is working normally, if an unforeseen accident such as an external overload or power failure occurs, the high-speed rotating rotor system may fall. In this case, to prevent the high-speed rotor system components from rubbing against the magnetic levitation bearing stator and the motor stator, and to prevent the sensors from being damaged by the falling rotor system, the support system should be changed from a magnetic levitation bearing system to an auxiliary protection bearing system. It is necessary to ensure that the rotor system lands on the auxiliary protection bearing when it falls. Given the working air gap value of the radial and axial magnetic bearings (approximately 0.3 mm), the radial and axial protective air gaps of the auxiliary bearings (both 0.15~0.2 mm) are designed to be smaller than the working air gap value of the radial and axial magnetic bearings (approximately 0.3 mm). This can prevent collisions, rubbing, and other damage events with the magnetic bearings. Attached Figure Description

The radial-axial sensor assembly 6 is the radial sensor 6I and the axial sensor 6II installed on the radial-axial displacement sensor seat 6III and bolted to the radial magnetic suspension bearing system right next to the radial-axial displacement sensor seat 6III in the radial magnetic suspension bearing outer race 4, combined into a radial-axial sensor system, and the axial magnetic suspension bearing system is to the right. The axial magnetic suspension bearing rotor thrust disc 8 is non-contacting stably suspended and supported together by controllable magnetic axial attractive force generated by the axial magnetic suspension bearing stator I 9 and the axial magnetic suspension bearing stator II 10 (the stator I 9 and the stator II 10 contain stator coils), combined into an axial magnetic suspension bearing system, installed in the axial magnetic suspension bearing outer race right end cover 11. The auxiliary protection bearing 13 is composed of two sets of high-speed angular contact ball bearings installed face to face into a radial-axial protection bearing system, the inner ring is loosely fitted on the radial-axial magnetic suspension bearing inner shaft 16, and the outer ring is installed in the auxiliary protection bearing seat 14, the radial gap of the inner ring loosely fitted on the inner shaft 16 is smaller than the gap between the radial magnetic suspension bearing stator coils 3 and the radial magnetic suspension bearing rotor 2, which serves as protection, and the auxiliary protection bearing axial positioning adjustment sleeve I 12 and the auxiliary protection bearing axial positioning adjustment sleeve II 15 are respectively fixed on the radial-axial magnetic suspension bearing inner shaft 16 with axial clearance on both sides of the radial-axial protection bearing system inner ring, the axial clearance between the auxiliary protection bearing axial positioning adjustment sleeve I 12 and the axial positioning adjustment sleeve II 15 and the radial-axial protection bearing system inner ring is smaller than the gap between the axial magnetic suspension bearing stator I 9 and the stator II 10 and the axial rotor thrust disc 8, which serves as protection, combined into an auxiliary protection bearing system. The radial magnetic suspension bearing rotor 2, the axial displacement sensor detection ring 5, the radial displacement sensor detection ring 7 and the axial magnetic suspension bearing rotor thrust disc 8 are fixed on the radial-axial magnetic suspension bearing inner shaft 16 in the same way as the auxiliary protection bearing axial positioning adjustment sleeve I 12 and the axial positioning adjustment sleeve II 15, which constitutes a radial-axial magnetic suspension bearing inner shaft rotor system.
