[0016] Where W is the width of the magnetic isolation bridge, and H m The width of the first groove segment is ΔR, and the radial distance between the first arc and the second arc is ΔR.
[0017] Alternatively, each of the magnetic poles may also have a noise reduction hole located between the magnetic groove and the outer periphery of the magnetic pole.

Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0037] The terminology used in the embodiments of this invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in the embodiments of this invention and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. “Multiple” generally includes at least two, but does not exclude the inclusion of at least one.
[0038] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.
[0039] It should also be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a product or system comprising a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a product or system. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the product or system that includes said element.
[0040] Existing permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) are widely used in pure electric and hybrid new energy vehicles due to their advantages such as high torque density, high efficiency, good steady-state performance, and high reliability. Most existing PMSMs are embedded rare-earth permanent magnet motors. Since rare-earth permanent magnet materials are scarce and expensive, effectively utilizing permanent magnet materials to design higher-performance motors is crucial for the development of electric vehicles. However, unreasonable magnet structure design and slot arrangement lead to large torque ripple and weak demagnetization resistance. Furthermore, the more magnetic poles the rotor core has, the higher the operating frequency of the motor, resulting in generally higher iron losses and severely limiting efficiency improvements. In motor technology, the air gap magnetic field is mainly concentrated within the stator region, with the magnetic field under one pole exhibiting a flat-top wave. The ideal magnetic field is a sine wave, with the strongest magnetic field directly opposite the stator teeth, decreasing along the circumference of the stator core. Therefore, it is necessary to rationally design the structure and air gap between the stator and rotor cores to reduce harmonics in the flat-top wave and achieve a sinusoidal wave-like effect.
[0041] This invention creatively provides a rotor core with multiple magnetic poles spaced circumferentially around its core. Each magnetic pole's cross-section includes multiple arcs and straight lines on its outer periphery, arranged alternately. The invention optimizes the air gap magnetic field between the stator and rotor cores, creating a unique air gap size fit, improving the flow path of the demagnetizing magnetic field, and reducing torque pulsation. It also increases the reluctance torque component, reduces higher harmonics of the magnetic field, improves the sinusoidal nature of the magnetic field, reduces iron losses, and enhances the motor's demagnetizing resistance and efficiency.
[0042] Rotor core
[0043] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a rotor core with multiple magnetic poles 1 arranged at intervals along the circumference of the rotor core. The outer periphery of the cross-section of each magnetic pole 1 includes multiple arcs and multiple straight lines 13, which are arranged alternately. The distribution of the air gap magnetic field between the stator core and the rotor core is adjusted, the flow path of the demagnetizing magnetic field is changed, the torque pulsation is reduced, and the reluctance torque component is increased.
[0044] Furthermore, the multiple arcs include a first arc 11 and a second arc 12, with two second arcs 12; along the circumference of the rotor core, the first arc 11 is located between the two second arcs 12;
[0045] There are two straight lines 13. One straight line 13 connects the two adjacent endpoints of the first arc 11 and the second arc 12, and the other straight line 13 connects the two adjacent endpoints of the first arc 11 and the other second arc 12. Thus, along the circumference of the rotor core, the outer periphery of the cross-section of each magnetic pole 1 is sequentially provided with a second arc 12, a straight line 13, a first arc 11, another straight line 13, and another second arc 12.
[0046] Preferably, the first arc 11 and the second arc 12 are both circular arcs, and the first arc 11 and the second arc 12 are concentrically arranged; the radius of the first arc 11 is R1, and the radius of the second arc 12 is R2, satisfying R1 > R2;
[0047] The straight line 13 extends outward along the direction from the corresponding second arc 12 to the first arc 11 and along the radial direction of the rotor core.
[0048] The first arc 11 is symmetrical about the d-axis of magnetic pole 1, the two second arcs 12 are symmetrical about the d-axis of magnetic pole 1, and the two straight lines 13 are symmetrical about the d-axis of magnetic pole 1.
[0049] In addition, each magnetic pole 1 is formed with a magnetic steel groove, which includes a first groove segment 14 and a second groove segment 15. The cross-section of the first groove segment 14 includes a first groove edge 141 and a second groove edge 142. The first groove edge 141 and the second groove edge 142 are both far away from the central axis of the rotor core, and the first groove edge 141 and the second groove edge 142 are arranged in a V-shaped structure.
[0050] The second slot segment 15 includes two segments, which are located at the two ends of the first slot segment 14 and away from the central axis of the rotor core. The cross-section of each second slot segment 15 is a polygonal structure, and the polygonal structure includes a third slot side 151, which is adjacent to the first slot side 141. The condition de1≥180°-0.5*de is satisfied.
[0051] Where de is the angle between the first groove edge 141 and the second groove edge 142, and de1 is the angle between the first groove edge 141 and the third groove edge 151.
[0052] Multi-stage permanent magnet motors have a large number of magnets, which inevitably reduces the amount of magnets used in each pole and increases the leakage flux of each stage. Under such circumstances, the motor's anti-demagnetization ability and efficiency will be greatly affected. To address this, this embodiment proposes that a magnet 2 is embedded in the magnet slot, and the magnetization direction length of the magnet 2 is H, where H≤1.5mm.
[0053] Furthermore, the polygonal structure also includes a fourth groove edge 152, which is adjacent to the corresponding third groove edge 151 and close to a second arc 12; the fourth groove edge 152 intersects with the extension line of the first groove edge 141; so that there is a certain air gap near the easily demagnetized areas at both ends of the magnet, bypassing part of the demagnetizing magnetic field and weakening the impact of the demagnetizing magnetic field.
[0054] The fourth slot edge 152 and the corresponding second arc 12 form a magnetic bridge, satisfying W≤ΔR≤0.5*H. m ;
[0055] Where W is the width of the magnetic bridge, H m ΔR is the width of the first groove segment 14, and ΔR is the radial distance between the first arc 11 and the second arc 12.
[0056] <Electric motor>
[0057] like Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment also provides a motor, including a stator core 3 and a rotor core of any of the above. The stator core 3 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the rotor core. The stator core 3 is formed with a plurality of stator teeth 31, and the plurality of stator teeth 31 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with a plurality of magnetic poles 1. Each stator tooth 31 includes a tooth body 311 and a tooth shoe 312. There are two tooth shoes 312, and the two tooth shoes 312 are respectively arranged on the radial sides of the tooth body 311.
[0058] The magnetic pole 1 and the corresponding stator tooth 31 satisfy the following: the first arc 11 is located within the radial projection of the tooth body 311; a straight line 13 is located within the radial projection of a tooth shoe 312 and outside the radial projection of the tooth body 311; another straight line 13 is located within the radial projection of another tooth shoe 312 and outside the radial projection of the tooth body 311.
[0059] The stator teeth are aligned with the magnetic poles and include a tooth body and tooth shoes. There are two tooth shoes, which are respectively located on both radial sides of the tooth body. The tooth body corresponds to the first arc, and the tooth shoes correspond to the straight line. The magnetic field is strongest in the region between the tooth body and the first arc, weakest in the region between the stator slot and the second arc, and moderate in the region between the tooth shoes and the straight line. The magnetic field in this region can be adjusted by adjusting the position and size of the straight line. The three regions have good sinusoidal magnetic fields, which greatly reduces the iron loss of the motor, effectively reduces leakage flux, increases the magnetic focusing effect, improves the utilization rate of the magnet, and reduces the harmonic loss of the motor.
[0060] Furthermore, a stator slot 32 is formed between two adjacent stator teeth 31; satisfying 0.3≤B2 / (B1+B3)≤0.1;
[0061] The circumferential width of the tooth body 311 is B1, the circumferential width of one tooth shoe 312 is B2, and half of the circumferential width of the stator slot 32 is B3. Adjusting the proportion of B2 to the width of the entire magnetic pole can adjust the amplitude of the rising stage of the sinusoidal magnetic field, thereby adjusting the harmonic content of the magnetic field.
[0062] Along the circumference of the rotor core, from the tooth shoe to the tooth body, the radial gap between the outer periphery of the cross-section of each magnetic pole and the corresponding stator tooth gradually decreases.
[0063] In addition, each magnetic pole 1 is also formed with a noise reduction hole 16, which is located between the magnetic steel slot of the rotor core and the outer peripheral surface of the magnetic pole 1, and the noise reduction hole 16 is located within the radial projection of the tooth body 311 to reduce electromagnetic noise.
