[0067] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0068] Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional view of a single-stator radial flux motor provided in an embodiment of this application. (See attached image.) Figure 1 As shown, the motor includes: housing 1, stator 2, first rotor 3, second rotor 4, first output shaft 5, and second output shaft 6.
[0069] The housing 1 has an internal cavity, and the stator 2 is located inside the cavity of the housing 1 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1.
[0070] Both the first rotor 3 and the second rotor 4 are located inside the stator 2; in other words, the outer surfaces of the first rotor 3 and the second rotor 4 are opposite to the inner wall of the stator 2. The first rotor 3 and the second rotor 4 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the stator 2, and the axes of both the first rotor 3 and the second rotor 4 coincide with the axis 2O of the stator 2. An air gap exists between the first rotor 3 and the second rotor 4 along the axial direction of the stator 2, which prevents wear between them and also prevents interference between the magnetic circuits of the first rotor 3 and the second rotor 4.
[0071] In some examples, the sum of the lengths of the first rotor 3, the second rotor 4, and the gap between the first rotor 3 and the second rotor 4 along the axial direction of the stator 2 is equal to the length of the stator. This approach helps ensure that the stator provides sufficient kinetic energy for the rotor's rotation while minimizing the length of the stator 2 along its axial direction, thus facilitating the control of the motor's dimensions along the axial direction of the stator 2.
[0072] The first output shaft 5 of the motor is fixedly connected to the first rotor 3, and the second output shaft 6 of the motor is fixedly connected to the second rotor 4. Moreover, the first output shaft 5 and the second output shaft 6 are rotatably connected to the housing 1. The first output shaft 5 and the second output shaft 6 can extend out of the housing 1 in the same direction or in different directions, as will be explained later.
[0073] In related technologies, dual-axis motors typically include two coaxially distributed stators. To prevent interference between the magnetic circuits generated by the two stators, a certain gap is usually maintained between them along the axial direction. The motor includes one stator, two rotors, and two output shafts, each fixedly connected to one of the two rotors for outputting power to the outside. This design reduces the number of stator winding ends, shortening the axial length and reducing the amount of stator windings used. Simultaneously, the compact axial arrangement of multiple rotors with small air gaps not only achieves magnetic isolation between the two motors but also helps to shorten the axial length. Furthermore, it reduces the amount of stator windings used, thus lowering the motor's cost.
[0074] The following is a detailed description of the various components in the motor provided in the embodiments of this application, as well as the connection relationships between the various components.
[0075] Casing 1
[0076] Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional view of a housing provided in an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the housing 1 may include: housing body 11, first end cap 12, and second end cap 13.
[0077] The housing body 11 may have a cylindrical structure. The first end cap 12 and the second end cap 13 are located at both ends of the housing body 11 and are connected to the housing body 11 respectively. The first end cap 12 and the housing body 11 can be fixedly connected by welding, gluing, snap-fitting or riveting, or can be detachably connected by bolts or threads. The second end cap 13 and the housing body 11 can be fixedly connected by welding, gluing, snap-fitting or riveting, or can be detachably connected by bolts or threads.
[0078] Optionally, the housing body 11 can have a cylindrical structure of any shape, as long as the interior of the housing body 11 has a cylindrical space to ensure that the stator 2 is installed inside the housing body 1.
[0079] The housing body 11, the first end cap 12, and the second end cap 13 form a receiving cavity. In some examples, the first end cap 12 may have a first through hole 1A, which connects the receiving cavity to the outside. The output shaft of the motor can extend out of the housing 1 through the first through hole 1A, which will be described later. In other examples, the first through hole 1A may be located on the second end cap 13. This situation is similar to the situation where the first through hole 1A is located on the first end cap 12, and will not be described in detail here.
[0080] Optionally, Figure 3 This is a cross-sectional view of a housing provided in an embodiment of this application. The first end cover 12 has a first through hole 1A, and the second end cover 13 has a second through hole 1B. At least two output shafts of the motor can extend out of the housing 1 through the first through hole 1A and the second through hole 1B.
[0081] Stator 2
[0082] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a stator structure provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 This is an exploded view of a stator provided in an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the stator 2 includes: a stator yoke 21, multiple stator teeth 22, multiple stator pole shoes 23, and multiple stator windings 24.
[0083] The stator yoke 21 has a cylindrical structure, and the outer surface of the stator yoke 21 is in contact with the inner wall of the housing 1.
[0084] The stator teeth 22 have a strip-shaped structure, and multiple stator teeth 22 are located inside the stator yoke 21 and are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the inner wall of the stator yoke 21. The multiple stator teeth 22 are connected to the inner wall of the stator yoke 21 respectively, and the multiple stator teeth 22 are not connected to each other.
[0085] Multiple stator pole shoes 23 are located within the stator yoke 21, and each stator pole shoe 23 is located at one end of a stator tooth 22 near the axis of the stator yoke 21. The stator pole shoes 23 are connected to the stator teeth 22, and the multiple stator pole shoes 23 are not connected to each other in pairs;
[0086] The stator winding 4 is wound around the stator teeth 22, meaning the stator winding 24 is located between the stator yoke 21 and the stator pole shoe 23. In some examples, each stator winding 24 can be wound around one stator tooth 22. In other examples, each stator winding 24 can be wound around multiple stator teeth 22, such as 2, 4, or 7. The number of stator teeth 22 around which each stator winding 23 is wound can be set according to actual product requirements, and will not be elaborated here.
[0087] In some examples, the stator yoke 21, stator teeth 22, and stator pole shoes 23 can be integrally formed, or they can be fixedly connected by welding or gluing. The connection methods for the stator yoke 21, stator teeth 22, and stator pole shoes 23 can be those found in related technologies, and will not be elaborated here.
[0088] Figure 6 This is a partial structural diagram of a stator provided in an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the stator 2 is made by stacking multiple silicon steel sheets along the axial direction of the stator. In other words, the multiple silicon steel sheets are stacked and arranged in a block structure to form the stator core. After the stator winding 24 is wound on the stator core, the stator 2 is formed.
[0089] The thickness of the silicon steel sheet along the axial direction of stator 2 can be 0.1 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.5 mm, 1 mm, 2 mm, etc. The thickness of the silicon steel sheet can be set according to actual product requirements; no limitations are imposed here.
[0090] Each silicon steel sheet has a stator yoke block 211, a stator tooth block 221, and a stator pole shoe block 231, all of which are integrally formed within the same silicon steel sheet. When multiple silicon steel sheets are stacked, the multiple stator yoke blocks 211 are arranged opposite each other to form a stator yoke 21, the multiple stator tooth blocks 221 are arranged opposite each other to form a stator tooth 22, and the multiple stator pole shoe blocks 231 are arranged opposite each other to form a stator pole shoe 23, thereby forming the aforementioned stator core.
[0091] By adopting this radial flux scheme, silicon steel sheets are stacked along the axial direction to form stator 2. Compared with the axial flux scheme, the processing and assembly processes are simpler. Therefore, it is beneficial to reduce the difficulty of processing stator 2 and the difficulty of assembling stator 2, which is conducive to mass production and thus improves the production efficiency of stator 2.
[0092] First rotor 3
[0093] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of a rotor structure provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 8 This is a side view of a first rotor provided in an embodiment of this application.
[0094] refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first rotor 3 includes: a first rotor core 31 and a plurality of first permanent magnets 32.
[0095] The first rotor core 31 has a cylindrical structure, and the axis of the first rotor core 31 is the axis of the first rotor 3. Furthermore, in the motor provided in the embodiments of this application, the axis of the first rotor core 31 coincides with the axis 2O of the stator 2.
[0096] In some examples, the first rotor core 31 can be made by stacking multiple silicon steel sheets along the axial direction of the stator 2, with the multiple silicon steel sheets stacked in a cylindrical structure to form the first rotor core 31. The thickness of the silicon steel sheets forming the first rotor core 31 in the axial direction of the first rotor core 31 can be the same as or different from the thickness of the silicon steel sheets forming the stator 2, and no limitation is made here.
[0097] Multiple first permanent magnets 32 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the first rotor core 31, and each of the multiple first permanent magnets 32 is fixedly connected to the first rotor core 31. Below are two possible distribution schemes for the first permanent magnets 32.
[0098] Distribution method 1: The first permanent magnet 32 is distributed outside the first rotor core 31.
[0099] In some examples, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, multiple first permanent magnets 32 can be located outside the first rotor core 31, and the multiple first permanent magnets 32 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the outer surface of the first rotor core 31. The multiple first permanent magnets 32 are respectively fixedly connected to the outer surface of the first rotor core 31. The first permanent magnets 32 and the first rotor core 31 can be fixedly connected by welding, gluing, or riveting.
[0100] Optionally, the first permanent magnet 32 is detachably connected to the first rotor core 31, so that it can be easily replaced when one of the first permanent magnets 32 is damaged. Alternatively, it can be easily replaced when the first rotor core 31 is damaged.
[0101] Distribution Method Two: The first permanent magnet 32 is distributed in the first rotor core 31.
[0102] Figure 10This is a schematic diagram of a rotor structure provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 11 This is a side view of a first rotor provided in an embodiment of this application.
[0103] refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the first rotor core 31 has a plurality of first axial through holes 31A. In other words, the first rotor core 31 has a plurality of first axial through holes 31A on one end face, and the first axial through holes 31A penetrate the first rotor core 31. The axis of the inner wall of the first rotor core 31 coincides with the axis of the outer surface of the first rotor core 31, and the plurality of first axial through holes 31A are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the outer surface of the first rotor core 31.
[0104] Multiple first permanent magnets 32 are respectively located within multiple first axial through holes 31A, meaning that one first permanent magnet 32 can be located within one first axial through hole 31A. The first permanent magnet 32 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first axial through hole 31A. In some examples, the first permanent magnet 32 and the first axial through hole 31A can be an interference fit, in which case the first permanent magnet 32 and the first axial through hole 31A can be fixedly connected without the aid of other structures.
[0105] Optionally, the first permanent magnet 32 and the first axial through hole 31A can be fixed by adhesive bonding. In this case, a layer of adhesive can be applied to both the outer surface of the first permanent magnet 32 and the inner wall of the first axial through hole 31A. Then, the first permanent magnet 32 is inserted into the first axial through hole 31A and left to stand or external force is applied to fix the first permanent magnet 32 and the first axial through hole 31A.
[0106] Below, for the case where the first permanent magnet 32 is distributed in the first rotor core 31, the following three possible structures of the first axial through hole 31A are given.
[0107] Structure 1, spoke shape
[0108] like Figure 11 As shown, for a first axial through hole 31A, the radial length of the first axial through hole 31A on the outer surface of the first permanent magnet 32 is greater than the axial length of the first axial through hole 31A on the outer surface of the first permanent magnet 32. Multiple first axial through holes 31A are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the outer surface of the first permanent magnet 32, thus forming a... Figure 11 The spoke-shaped structure shown.
[0109] In some examples, the first permanent magnet 32 has a gap on each of the two sides in the radial direction of the outer surface of the first permanent magnet 32. That is, in the radial direction of the outer surface of the first permanent magnet 32, there is a gap between the first permanent magnet 32 and the inner wall of the first axial through-hole 31A. This gap can achieve magnetic circuit isolation between the first rotor 3 and the stator 2, and prevent the problem that the first rotor 3 cannot work properly due to magnetic circuit crossover between the first rotor 3 and the stator 2.
[0110] Structure Two: Linear
[0111] Figure 13 is a side view of a first rotor provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 13 shown, in a cross-section perpendicular to the axis of the first axial through-hole 31A, the projection of the first axial through-hole 31A is in the shape of a "one", and it can be understood that the length of the first axial through-hole 31A in the radial direction of the outer surface of the first permanent magnet 32 is less than the length of the first axial through-hole 31A in the axial direction of the outer surface of the first permanent magnet 32.
[0112] In some examples, in the length direction of the first axial through-hole 31A, there is a gap between the first permanent magnet 32 and the inner wall of the first axial through-hole 31A. In some other examples, as Figure 11 shown, the first axial through-hole 31A has an extension groove at both ends in its length direction, and the extension groove extends from the first axial through-hole 31A to the outer surface of the first rotor core 31. The extension grooves at both ends of the first axial through-hole 31A play a role in isolating the magnetic circuit, which will not be elaborated here.
[0113] Structure Three: Triangular (△)
[0114] Figure 15 is a side view of a first rotor provided by an embodiment of the present application. In some examples, as Figure 15 shown, the first axial through-hole 31A can be composed of three through-hole segments. The first through-hole segment is close to the outer surface of the first rotor core 31 and can be regarded as the bottom edge of the first axial through-hole 31A. One end of the second through-hole segment and the third through-hole segment is close to the inner wall of the first rotor core 31, and the other end is close to the first through-hole segment. Moreover, the second through-hole segment and the third through-hole segment are connected to each other near the inner wall of the first rotor core 31. The second through-hole segment and the third through-hole segment can be regarded as the two side edges of the first axial through-hole 31A. Thus, the first through-hole segment, the second through-hole segment, and the third through-hole segment form a triangular structure as Figure 15 shown.
[0115] Optionally, the first through-hole segment, the second through-hole segment, and the third through-hole segment can be interconnected in any pair, or they can be disconnected from each other; no limitation is imposed here. The lengths of the first through-hole segment, the second through-hole segment, and the third through-hole segment can all be the same, partially the same, or all different; no limitation is imposed here.
[0116] When the first axial through hole 31A adopts this structure, the first permanent magnet 32 can be distributed in each through hole segment, and in the length direction of each through hole segment, there is a gap between the first permanent magnet 32 and the inner wall of each through hole segment to achieve magnetic circuit isolation.
[0117] Optionally, when the first permanent magnet 32 is distributed in the first rotor core 31, the first axial through hole 31A can also be a trapezoidal through hole, a circular through hole, a rhomboid through hole, etc. Correspondingly, the first permanent magnet 32 can be a trapezoidal structure, a circular structure, a rhomboid structure, etc., that mates with the first axial through hole 31A. No limitations are placed here on the shape and structure of the first permanent magnet 31 and the first axial through hole 31A.
[0118] Second rotor 4
[0119] like Figure 7 As shown, the second rotor 4 includes a second rotor core 41 and a plurality of second permanent magnets 42. The second rotor core 41 has a cylindrical structure, and the axis of the second rotor core 41 is the axis of the second rotor 4. Furthermore, in the motor provided in the embodiments of this application, the axis of the second rotor core 41 coincides with the axis 2O of the stator 2.
[0120] In some examples, the second rotor core 41 can be made by stacking multiple silicon steel sheets along the axial direction of the stator 2, with the multiple silicon steel sheets stacked in a cylindrical structure to form the second rotor core 41. The thickness of the silicon steel sheets forming the second rotor core 41 in the axial direction of the second rotor core 41 can be the same as or different from the thickness of the silicon steel sheets forming the first rotor core 31, and no limitation is made here.

Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, a plurality of second permanent magnets 42 are located outside the second rotor core 41, and the plurality of second permanent magnets 42 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the outer surface of the second rotor core 41. The plurality of second permanent magnets 42 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the second rotor core 41. The second permanent magnets 42 and the outer surface of the second rotor core 41 can be fixed by means of welding or gluing, etc., and the connection method between the two is not limited here.

Figure 16 This is a side view of a second rotor provided in an embodiment of this application. In other examples, refer to... Figure 12 , Figure 14 and Figure 16 As shown, the second rotor core 41 has multiple second axial through holes 41A. In other words, the second rotor core 41 has multiple second axial through holes 41A on one end face, and the second axial through holes 41A penetrate the first rotor core 31. The axis of the inner wall of the second rotor core 31 coincides with the axis of the outer surface of the second rotor core 41, and the multiple second axial through holes 41A are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the outer surface of the second rotor core 41. Multiple second permanent magnets 42 are respectively located in the multiple second axial through holes 41A, that is, each second permanent magnet 42 is located in one second axial through hole 41A, and the second permanent magnet 42 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second axial through hole 41A.
[0123] As an example, the second axial through hole 41A can be in the shape of spokes, "I", triangle, semicircle, trapezoid, etc. The structure of the second axial through hole 41A can be the same as or similar to the structure of the first axial through hole 31A, which will not be elaborated here.
[0124] First output shaft 5 and second output shaft 6
[0125] refer to Figure 1 As shown, the first output shaft 5 may include a first shaft segment 51 and a second shaft segment 52 that are fixedly connected, and the second output shaft 6 is a hollow shaft. The first shaft segment 51 and the second shaft segment 52 may be integrally formed, or they may be fixedly connected by welding, keying, or other methods.
[0126] The first shaft segment 51 of the first output shaft 5 is located inside the housing 1, and the first shaft segment 51 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first rotor 3. The first shaft segment 51 and the inner wall of the first rotor 3 can be connected by an interference fit, or by a key connection or welding, etc. As an example, Figure 1 The left side of the middle housing 1 may have a support protrusion 1C, which is located inside the housing 1 and protrudes toward the first shaft segment 51 (the support protrusion 1C is arranged opposite to the first shaft segment 51). The end of the first shaft segment 51 near the support protrusion 1C can be rotatably connected to the support protrusion 1C through a bearing, that is, rotatably connected to the housing 1.
[0127] A portion of the second shaft segment 52 of the first output shaft 5 is located within the housing 1, and this portion is also located within the second output shaft 6. Another portion of the second shaft segment 52 protrudes from the end of the second output shaft 6 away from the first shaft segment 51, for connection to external devices. The portion of the second shaft segment 52 located within the second output shaft 6 can be rotatably connected to the inner wall of the second output shaft 6 via a bearing. With this design, the first output shaft 5 can rotate relative to the housing 1 and the second output shaft 6 as the first rotor 3 rotates. Therefore, the motor can independently output power through the first rotor 3 and the first output shaft 5 to drive devices connected to the first output shaft 5.
[0128] One end of the second output shaft 6 is located inside the housing 1, close to the first shaft section 51 of the first output shaft 5, and is fixedly connected to the second rotor 4. The second output shaft 6 and the inner wall of the second rotor 4 can be connected by an interference fit, a key connection, or welding. The other end of the second output shaft 6 protrudes from the housing 1 for connection to external devices. The outer surface of the second output shaft 6 can be rotatably connected to the housing 1 via a bearing, and the inner wall of the second output shaft 6 is rotatably connected to the first output shaft 5. With this design, the second output shaft 6 can rotate relative to the housing 1 and the first output shaft 5 as the second rotor 4 rotates. Therefore, the motor can independently output power through the second rotor 4 and the second output shaft 6 to drive devices connected to the second output shaft 6.
[0129] By adopting this solution, the motor provided in this application embodiment can simultaneously drive the first output shaft 5 and the second output shaft 6 to output power to the outside, or it can drive the first output shaft 5 or the second output shaft 6 to output power to the outside individually, which is beneficial to make the motor suitable for various application scenarios and increase the flexibility of the motor.
[0130] In related technologies, dual-axis motors are typically used as counter-rotating motors, which are motors with two output shafts rotating in different directions. The motor provided in this application embodiment can also be used as a counter-rotating motor, provided the following conditions are met:
[0131] (1) The number of slots Z of stator 2 s The number of phases M of the motor is a positive integer multiple, where Z is the number of slots in stator 2. s This can be considered as the number of stator teeth 22 in stator 2;
[0132] (2) The first pole number Z of the first rotor 3 r1 The second pole number Z of the second rotor 4 r2 All are positive even numbers, among which the first extreme number Z r1 It can be considered as the number of the first permanent magnets 32 in the first rotor 3, and the number of the second poles Z. r2 This can be considered as the number of the second permanent magnets 42 in the second rotor 4;
[0133] (3)Z r1 =k1×Z s -L, Z r2 =k2×Z s +L, Z s ÷M÷GCD(Z s Z r1 ) and Z s ÷M÷GCD(Z s Z r2 All are positive integers, where k1 and k2 are either both positive odd numbers or both are both positive even numbers, L, k1×Z s and k2×Z s All are positive odd numbers or all are positive even numbers, L <Z s GCD(Z) s Z r1 ) is Z s and Z r1 The greatest common divisor of GCD (Z) s Z r2 ) is Z s and Z r2 The greatest common divisor.
[0134] For example, the parameters in the above three conditions can be set as follows: the number of phases of the motor M = 3, and the number of slots in stator 2 Z. s =12, the first pole number Z of the first rotor 3 r1 =10, the second pole number Z of the second rotor 4 r2 =14, k1 and k2 are both 1, L is 2, at this time, Z s and Z r1 The greatest common divisor GCD(Z) s Z r1 Z = 2 s and Z r2 The greatest common divisor GCD(Z) s Z r2 Z = 2 s ÷M÷GCD(Z s Z r1 Z = 2 s ÷M÷GCD(Z s Z r2 =2. Therefore, it can be seen that adopting this value scheme can satisfy the above three conditions. At this time, the motor provided in this application embodiment is a counter-rotating motor, that is, when the first output shaft 5 and the second output shaft 6 work at the same time, the rotation directions are opposite.
[0135] For example, the parameters in the above three conditions can be set as follows: the number of phases of the motor M = 5, and the number of slots in stator 2 Z. s =25, the first pole number Z of the first rotor 3r1 =20, the second pole number Z of the second rotor 4 r2 =30, k1 and k2 are both 1, L is 5, at this time, Z s and Z r1 The greatest common divisor GCD(Z) s Z r1 Z = 5 s and Z r2 The greatest common divisor GCD(Z) s Z r2 Z = 5 s ÷M÷GCD(Z s Z r1 Z = 1 s ÷M÷GCD(Z s Z r2 =1. Therefore, it can be seen that adopting this value scheme can satisfy the above three conditions. At this time, the motor provided in this application embodiment is a counter-rotating motor, that is, when the first output shaft 5 and the second output shaft 6 work at the same time, the rotation directions are opposite.
[0136] Typically, the motor speed n = 60 × f ÷ p, where f is the electrical frequency and p is the number of rotor poles. Therefore, the motor speed n is directly proportional to the electrical frequency f and inversely proportional to the number of rotor poles p. When the first rotor 3 has a first pole number Z... r1 The second pole number Z of the second rotor 4 r2 When the above three conditions are met, the ratio of the rotational speeds of the first rotor 3 to the second rotor 4 is Z. r2 / Z r1 Clearly, based on the three conditions and related examples above, Z... r1 ≠Z r2 Therefore, the first rotor 3 and the second rotor 4 have different speeds, which means that different speed ratios can be achieved by adjusting the number of poles of the two rotors. This is beneficial to meet the applicability of the motor in different scenarios, thereby improving the flexibility of motor use.
[0137] In some examples, although the rotor speeds of the two motors are different, they can be infinitely close under specific stator and rotor pole number combinations. As an example, when Z... r1 and Z r2 Is with Z s A relatively close even number, and Z s When Z is as large as possible r2 / Z r1 When the value approaches 1, the two motor rotors rotate in opposite directions and have approximately the same speed.
[0138] Figure 13 This is a cross-sectional view of a motor provided in an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 13As shown, the motor may also include a third rotor 7 and a third output shaft 8.
[0139] The third rotor 7 is located inside the stator 2; in other words, the outer surface of the third rotor 7 is opposite to the inner wall of the stator 2. The third rotor 7, the first rotor 3, and the second rotor 4 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the stator 2, and the axis of the third rotor 7 coincides with the axis 2O of the stator 2. As an example, the third rotor 7, the first rotor 3, and the second rotor 4 are equally spaced along the axial direction of the stator 2.
[0140] One end of the third output shaft 8 is located inside the housing 1, and the other end is located outside the housing 1. The portion of the third output shaft 8 located inside the housing 1 is fixedly connected to the third rotor 7. The third output shaft 8 is rotatably connected to the housing 1.
[0141] In some examples, the third output axis 8 can be... Figure 13 The right side, as shown in the diagram, extends out of the housing 1. Both the first output shaft 5 and the second output shaft 6 have... Figure 13 The left side, as shown in the image, extends out of the housing 1.
[0142] In other examples, the third output shaft 8, the first output shaft 5, and the second output shaft 6 are all... Figure 13 The left side extends out of the housing 1 as shown. At this time, the first output shaft 5 can also adopt a hollow shaft structure. A part of the third output shaft 8 can be located inside the first output shaft 5, and the end of the third output shaft 8 away from the third rotor 7 protrudes from the end of the first output shaft 5 away from the first rotor 3.
[0143] Optionally, the motor may include three or more rotors and three or more output shafts. In this case, all rotors are located within the same stator, meaning that the outer surfaces of all rotors are opposite to the inner wall of the stator 2, and all rotors are evenly spaced along the axial direction of the stator 2, with the axes of all rotors coinciding with the axis 2O of the stator 2. Each output shaft is fixedly connected to one rotor and is directly or indirectly rotatably connected to the housing 1. All output shafts may extend out of the housing 1 in the same direction, or a portion of each output shaft may extend out of the housing 1 in a first direction and another portion in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The cases of motors including three or more rotors and three or more output shafts are similar to the cases of two rotors and two output shafts and three rotors and three output shafts provided in the embodiments of this application, and will not be described in detail here.
[0144] In the solution provided in this application embodiment, the motor includes one stator, two rotors, and two output shafts. The two output shafts are fixedly connected to the two rotors respectively, and are used to output power to the outside. Using this solution, the motor has only one stator, reducing the number of stator winding ends, which shortens the axial length of the motor and reduces the amount of stator windings used. Simultaneously, the multiple motor rotors are compactly arranged axially with very small air gaps between them, which not only achieves magnetic isolation between the two motors but also helps to shorten the axial length of the motor.
[0145] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
