Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of motor structures, and in particular to a double-layer Halbach array permanent magnet vernier motor structure. Background Art

[0002] Permanent magnet vernier motor (PMVM), with its excellent torque density and simplified mechanical structure, has become the preferred solution for low-speed, high-torque direct drive fields such as mining and ship propulsion. The core concept of magnetic field modulation technology is to finely control the input magnetic field through sophisticated structural design and strategic deployment of magnetic materials to achieve efficient coupling between magnetic poles and smooth transmission of torque. PMVM was born based on the magnetic field modulation mechanism of magnetic gears. Its unique "magnetic gear effect" gives the motor the ability to output strong electromagnetic torque at low speeds, so it has attracted much attention from academia and industry.

[0003] The PMVM series motors are all based on the same working principle - the "magnetic gear effect". They can be regarded as a clever fusion of permanent magnet motors and magnetic gear transmission systems. In this mechanism, the two sides of the modulation teeth carry magnetic fields generated by the rotor permanent magnets and the armature windings at different speeds. The magnetic field excited by the armature winding is carefully regulated by the modulation teeth, and its speed is synchronized with the magnetic field of the rotor permanent magnet, thereby achieving efficient energy conversion between the stator and the rotor.

[0004] Although the traditional PMVM motor structure is simple and efficient and can generate considerable electromagnetic torque, it also exposes the significant shortcoming of torque pulsation. To overcome this challenge, the present invention introduces the Halbach array, an innovative double-layer permanent magnet arrangement strategy, and uses ferrite as the excitation source of the auxiliary magnetic pole. A major highlight of this design is that the Halbach array can generate an enhanced magnetic field on a specific side, effectively weakening the air gap magnetic density harmonics, reducing leakage magnetic phenomena, and thus improving energy conversion efficiency. This series of improvements not only significantly enhances the torque density of PMVM, but also significantly improves the problem of torque pulsation.

[0005] The traditional PMVM motor structure is as follows Figure 1 shown. Figure 1 In the figure, 1 is the stator core, 2 is the stator winding, 3 is the rotor core, 4 is the stator modulation tooth, 5-1 and 5-2 are the rotor main magnetic poles, where the magnetizing direction of 5-1 is at an angle of 0° to the radial direction, and the magnetizing direction of 5-2 is at an angle of 180° to the radial direction, that is, the magnetizing directions of 5-1 and 5-2 are opposite, and the single layers are arranged alternately.

[0006] The present invention adopts a Halbach array, that is, a new double-layer permanent magnet arrangement, and uses ferrite excitation for auxiliary magnetic poles. Its main feature is that it can generate a strong magnetic field on one side, reduce air gap magnetic density harmonics, reduce leakage magnetic flux, and improve energy conversion efficiency. It enhances the torque density of the permanent magnet vernier motor and improves torque pulsation. At the same time, the addition of ferrite significantly reduces the amount of rare earth permanent magnets, reduces the motor manufacturing cost, and improves the utilization rate of the permanent magnets of the motor.

[0007] To this end, we urgently need to design a double-layer Halbach array permanent magnet vernier motor structure to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a double-layer Halbach array permanent magnet vernier motor structure to address the deficiencies of the prior art and solve the problems raised in the background technology.

[0009] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a double-layer Halbach array permanent magnet vernier motor structure, comprising a stator core, a rotor core, a stator winding and a double-layer non-uniform Halbach permanent magnet array, the rotor is placed outside the stator core and the rotor core is coaxially arranged with the stator core, the main shaft is arranged at the center of the rotor, the stator core adopts straight slots, the double-layer non-uniform Halbach permanent magnet array is installed on the rotor core and is located between the rotor core and the stator core, the stator winding is installed on the stator core, the stator core adopts a split tooth structure, the stator core and the stator winding use three-phase fractional slot concentrated windings, and are wound in a two-pole manner.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, each magnetic pole of the double-layer non-uniform Halbach permanent magnet array is composed of 5 permanent magnets and is divided into two layers. The two layers of permanent magnets adopt different Halbach magnetization methods, and the outer layer of permanent magnets includes 1 rotor main magnetic pole 2, 1 rotor tangential auxiliary magnetic pole 2 and 1 rotor tangential auxiliary magnetic pole 1.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the inner permanent magnet includes one rotor main magnetic pole 1 and two rotor oblique auxiliary magnetic poles 1 and 2. At the same time, the main magnetic poles and auxiliary magnetic poles of the two layers of Halbach array can be of unequal width and thickness.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, there is no inter-pole spacing between adjacent magnetic poles of the double-layer non-uniform Halbach permanent magnet array, and the rotor main magnetic pole 1 and the rotor main magnetic pole 2 are both magnetized in the radial positive direction or reverse direction.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the magnetizing direction of the rotor main magnetic pole 2 is tangential magnetizing, and the angle between the magnetizing direction of the rotor main magnetic pole 1 and the rotor main magnetic pole 2 and the radial direction is 0°.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the angle between the magnetizing direction of the rotor oblique auxiliary magnetic pole 1 and the rotor oblique auxiliary magnetic pole 2 and the radial direction is 30° to 60°.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the angle between the magnetizing direction of the rotor oblique auxiliary magnetic pole 1 and the radial direction is 135°, and the angle between the magnetizing direction of the rotor oblique auxiliary magnetic pole 2 and the radial direction is 45°.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] The core of the invention lies in its innovative double-layer non-uniform Halbach array design, which effectively improves the torque density of the motor and significantly enhances the output torque capacity of the motor. This improvement directly meets the stringent requirements of motor performance in the field of low-speed, high-torque direct drive, and provides strong support for technological progress and application expansion in related fields.

[0018] Compared with traditional technologies, the present invention achieves significant suppression of torque pulsation through fine magnetic field modulation and structural design. The smoothness of the motor during operation is greatly improved, and the vibration and noise levels are significantly reduced, thereby improving the motor's working accuracy and long-term operating stability. This improvement is of great significance to improving the overall performance of the equipment and extending its service life.

[0019] In the rotor structure design, the present invention cleverly introduces ferrite auxiliary magnetic poles, effectively reducing the use of rare earth permanent magnets. This strategy not only reduces the manufacturing cost of the motor, but also improves the utilization rate of permanent magnet materials, achieving a win-win situation in economic and environmental benefits.

[0020] In terms of the environment, the optimization of motor performance reduces torque pulsation, thereby reducing environmental pollution that may be caused by problems such as vibration and noise, and helps achieve green production and sustainable development. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
