Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of motors, and in particular to a rotor structure and a motor. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of motor energy efficiency standards, higher requirements are placed on the energy efficiency level of motors. For permanent magnet motors, the efficiency and high torque density of the motors need to be further improved.

[0003] At present, there are two technical means to improve motor efficiency and torque density. One is to embed permanent magnets to obtain a larger air gap flux and a larger magnetic flux. However, due to the fixed rotor magnetic circuit structure, the energy efficiency improvement is limited. Another means is to use the rotor structure to increase the motor salient pole ratio and increase the motor's reluctance torque to compensate for the lack of permanent magnet torque. Its efficiency can be comparable to that of a permanent magnet motor, but it usually requires a larger rotor volume, which will make the motor torque density inferior to that of a permanent magnet motor.

[0004] Therefore, for current motors, how to further achieve higher efficiency and higher torque density is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0005] The comparative document 201880064666.X discloses a permanent magnet rotor assembly, in which two permanent magnet sets (one set is magnetized along the circumferential direction of the rotor, and the second set provides magnetic flux along the axial direction of the rotor) generate magnetic flux gathered by pole pieces, and there are end plates made of magnetic material, circumferentially magnetized magnets are placed in the circumferential gap between the pole pieces, and magnets providing axial magnetic flux are placed in the gap between the pole piece array and the end plates. The magnetic end plates in the comparative document are used to provide a return path for the magnetic flux from the magnets providing axial magnetic flux. However, in the field of household appliances, the rotor structure including multiple pole pieces, multiple scattered magnets and magnetic end plates has many parts, the magnetic end plates are difficult to fix, and the rotor assembly is difficult to assemble, resulting in high production and assembly costs, making it difficult to implement applications.

[0076] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0077] See also Figures 1 to 19 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the rotor structure includes a rotor core 11, a first permanent magnet 12 and a second permanent magnet 21. The rotor core 11 has a mounting groove, the first permanent magnet 12 is mounted in the mounting groove, and along the axial direction of the rotor core 11, the axial height of the first permanent magnet 12 is greater than the axial height of the rotor core 11; the second permanent magnet 21 is arranged at the axial end of the rotor core 11, and a groove 213 is arranged on the second permanent magnet 21, and the part of the first permanent magnet 12 extending axially out of the rotor core 11 is inserted into the groove 213. The first permanent magnet 12 is magnetized along the radial direction and / or tangential direction of the rotor core 11, and the second permanent magnet 21 is magnetized along the axial direction of the rotor core 11.

[0078] like Fig. 20As shown, a first permanent magnet 12 and a second permanent magnet 21 are simultaneously arranged in the rotor, and the first permanent magnet 12 and the second permanent magnet 21 jointly provide a magnetic flux for the motor, which can increase the output of the motor; the relative positions of the first permanent magnet 12 and the second permanent magnet 21 are designed, and the first permanent magnet 12 is arranged to be inserted into the groove 213 of the second permanent magnet 21, and the first permanent magnet 12 serves as a part of the magnetic circuit for the magnetic flux of the second permanent magnet 21 to flow, and the magnetic flux of the second permanent magnet 21 is pulled into the rotor core 11; the magnetic flux of the first permanent magnet 12 and the second permanent magnet 21 are on the rotor core 11. After magnetic concentration, it enters the air gap and the stator, which can greatly improve the magnetic concentration effect of the rotor. In addition, except for the rotor core 11, no other magnetic conductive components are arranged in the rotor structure. The axial end leakage magnetic lines of force of the first permanent magnet 12 need to form a closed loop through the second permanent magnet 21. The second permanent magnet 21, which is a non-magnetic conductive component, weakens the end leakage magnetic field of the first permanent magnet 12, and the flow direction of the magnetic lines of force of the second permanent magnet 21 is opposite to the flow direction of the end leakage magnetic lines of force of the first permanent magnet 12. There is a mutual repulsion effect, which will further reduce the axial end leakage magnetic field of the first permanent magnet 12 and improve the magnetic field strength of the rotor.

[0079] The matching design of the first permanent magnet 12 and the second permanent magnet 21 in the rotor structure provides a return magnetic circuit for the magnetic flux of the second permanent magnet 21 through the first permanent magnet 12, and there is no need to add an additional magnetic end plate that matches the magnetic circuit of the second permanent magnet 21. This can eliminate the magnetic dependence of the second permanent magnet 21 on the magnetic end plate, while reducing the number of rotor parts, resulting in fewer assembly steps, simpler assembly, and lower production costs.

[0080] In one embodiment, the first permanent magnet 12 is magnetized along the radial direction and / or tangential direction of the rotor core 11, and the second permanent magnet 21 is magnetized along the axial direction of the rotor core 11. The magnetic lines of force entering the rotor core 11 from different directions form a magnetic field concentration effect on the rotor core 11, thereby improving the rotor magnetic field strength and increasing the utilization rate of the rotor core 11.

[0081] like Fig. 20 As shown, in this embodiment, the first permanent magnet 12 with a larger axial height is set to be tangentially magnetized, and the second permanent magnet 21 arranged at the axial end of the rotor core 11 is set to be axially magnetized, which can achieve the continuity of the magnetic flux of the first permanent magnet 12 and the second permanent magnet 21, so that the two can more effectively provide magnetic flux for the motor together, effectively increasing the motor output.

[0082] In one embodiment, the first permanent magnet 12 is a combination of tangential magnetization and radial magnetization.

[0083] In one embodiment, the magnetization direction of the second permanent magnet 21 is not limited to being parallel to the axial direction of the rotor core 11 , but may also be at an acute angle to the axial direction of the rotor core 11 .

[0084] In one embodiment, a hole structure 211 is provided on the second permanent magnet 21. The shape of the hole structure is not limited to circular, elliptical, square or other shapes.

[0085] In one embodiment, a projection is made on one end face of the rotor core 11 along the axial direction of the rotor core 11, and within the projection face, the shape of the hole structure 211 matches the shape of the rotor core 11 at the corresponding position. The magnetic field lines of the second permanent magnet 21 enter the rotor core 11 to become the main magnetic field after being magnetically guided by the end face of the rotor core 11. The shape of the hole structure 211 matches the shape of the rotor core 11 at the corresponding position, which can improve the utilization rate of the second permanent magnet 21 and the rotor core 11. At the same time, the reasonable design of the position and shape of the hole structure 211 can guide the magnetic field of the second permanent magnet 21, ensure the uniformity and unsaturation of the magnetic field distribution of the rotor core 11, and reduce the rotor iron loss.

[0086] In one embodiment, the second permanent magnet 21 is provided with an identification portion 212. The identification portion 212 is used to identify the polarity sequence of the second permanent magnet 21, and the identification portion 212 is not limited to letter identification, shape identification or other forms of identification.

[0087] In one embodiment, the identification portion 212 is disposed on the end surface of the second permanent magnet 21 close to and / or away from the rotor core 11. Preferably, the identification portion 212 is disposed on the end surface of the second permanent magnet 21 close to and away from the rotor core 11, that is, the axial end surfaces on both sides of the second permanent magnet 21 are provided with identification portions, so as to facilitate the identification of the polarity of the second permanent magnet 21.

[0088] In one embodiment, the identification portion 212 is disposed in an adjacent area of ​​a hole structure 211. The cooperation between the identification portion 212 and the hole structure 211 can ensure the uniqueness of the polarity sequence of the second permanent magnet 21 after magnetization.

[0089] In one embodiment, the number of the hole structures 211 provided on the second permanent magnet 21 is not less than 2, so as to ensure the symmetry of the rotor magnetic field and reduce the torque pulsation and harmonic loss caused by the asymmetric magnetic field.

[0090] In one embodiment, the second permanent magnet 21 is an injection molded magnetic steel. Using the injection molded magnetic steel can reduce the rotor saturation and iron loss on the one hand, and on the other hand, the injection molded magnetic steel has a higher degree of freedom in shape, which can reduce the difficulty of manufacturing the second permanent magnet 21 and the rotor structure.

[0091] In one embodiment, the second permanent magnet 21 is injection-molded ferrite or injection-molded neodymium iron boron. The second permanent magnet 21 may also be injection-molded magnetic steel of other material types.

[0092] In one embodiment, at least one of the axial ends of the rotor core 11 is provided with a second permanent magnet 21, and the number of the second permanent magnets 21 provided in the rotor structure is not less than one. Preferably, the number of the second permanent magnets 21 provided in the rotor structure is two, that is, the second permanent magnets 21 are provided at both axial ends of the rotor core 11, so that the magnetic circuit at the end of the motor can be arranged, so that the torque density is higher, the motor efficiency is higher, and the high performance of the motor is guaranteed. In the axial direction of the rotor core 11, the rotor core 11 and the second permanent magnet 21 are fitted together to reduce the loss of the magnetic flux of the second permanent magnet 21 during circulation. It should be noted that the single second permanent magnet 21 here refers to all the second permanent magnets 21 located on a certain axial plane at the axial end of the rotor core 11. However, the single second permanent magnet 21 is not limited to an integral structure or a block structure, such as Figure 7 The second permanent magnet 21 shown is an integral structure. Fig.18 The second permanent magnet 21 shown is a block-type structure.

[0093] In one embodiment, when the single second permanent magnet 21 is a segmented structure, the number of segments is not limited to 2 or more.

[0094] In one embodiment, the second permanent magnet 21 cooperates with the first permanent magnet 12 through the groove 213 provided thereon. Both the first permanent magnet 12 and the second permanent magnet 21 are magnetic flux sources. Except for the rotor core 11, no other magnetic conductive components are provided in the rotor structure.

[0095] In one embodiment, the grooves 213 provided on the second permanent magnet 21 do not penetrate the second permanent magnet 21, the number of the grooves 213 is the same as the number of the rotor poles, and a bump 214 is formed between adjacent grooves 213. The grooves 213 do not penetrate the second permanent magnet 21, so that the second permanent magnet 21 is a whole. Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a convex block 214 is formed between two adjacent grooves 213, and the outer sides between the two adjacent convex blocks 214 are disconnected, which can reduce the magnetic leakage at the outer circle of the rotor; in order to ensure the strength of the rotor, a magnetic bridge is provided on the inner side of the rotor core 11, and the second permanent magnet 21 connected to the inner side of the convex block 214 helps to saturate the magnetic bridge and reduce the magnetic leakage of the first permanent magnet 12 at the inner magnetic bridge. Fig.11 As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, a protrusion 214 is formed between two adjacent grooves, and the outer side and the inner side between the two adjacent protrusions 214 are disconnected, which can reduce the processing difficulty of the second permanent magnet 21 and reduce the processing cost.

[0096] In one embodiment, a polarity region of the protrusion 214 corresponds to a position of a polarity region of the rotor core 11. That is, a polarity region of the protrusion 214 of the second permanent magnet 21 generates magnetic flux, and a polarity region of the rotor core 11 at a corresponding position is a magnetic path of the magnetic flux. The corresponding arrangement of the two can shorten the magnetic path as much as possible and reduce magnetic loss.

[0097] In one embodiment, on a plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotor core 11, a polar region of the protrusion 214 matches the region shape of a corresponding polar region of the rotor core 11, and the polar region of the protrusion 214 fills the corresponding polar region of the rotor core 11. "Filling" here means that there is no gap between the protrusion 214 and the rotor core 11 on a plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotor core 11.

[0098] In one embodiment, the first permanent magnet 12 and the second permanent magnet 21 are divided into multiple polarity regions after magnetization. The first permanent magnet 12 is magnetized with NS poles alternately along the radial direction and / or tangential direction of the rotor core 11; the second permanent magnet 21 is magnetized with NS poles alternately along the axial direction of the rotor core 11.

[0099] The polarity of the second permanent magnet 21 on the side close to the rotor core 11 is the first polarity, and the polarity of the two first permanent magnets 12 on both sides adjacent to the second permanent magnet 21 on the side close to the rotor core 11 is the first polarity, that is, the polarity of the second permanent magnet 21 on the side close to the rotor core 11 is the same as the polarity of the first permanent magnets 12 on both sides adjacent to the second permanent magnet 21 on the side close to the rotor core 11. Fig.19 In the illustrated embodiment, the second permanent magnet 21 is magnetized axially, and the first permanent magnet 12 is magnetized tangentially. Under a certain pole, the magnetization directions of both are directed toward the rotor core 11. Under this magnetization mode, the superposition of the magnetic flux of the first permanent magnet 12 and the second permanent magnet 21 can be achieved, thereby improving the no-load magnetic flux.

[0100] In one embodiment, the axial height of the rotor core 11 is x, the axial height of the first permanent magnet 12 is y, y>x, the axial height of the second permanent magnet 21 is z1, and the axial height of the protrusion 214 is z2, wherein 0.2*(yx)≤z1≤1.6*(yx).

[0101] In one embodiment, 2*z2≥(yx), interference between the first permanent magnet 12 and the second permanent magnet 21 can be avoided to enable assembly of the first permanent magnet 12 and the second permanent magnet 21 .

[0102] In one embodiment, z2=0.5*(yx), which can form an optimal fit, effectively avoid the gap between the first permanent magnet 12 and the second permanent magnet 21, and reduce magnetic loss.

[0103] In one embodiment, 0.03≤(z1−z2) / z1≤0.7, so that the portion of the groove 213 that does not penetrate the second permanent magnet 21 has a certain axial thickness ratio in the second permanent magnet 21 to ensure the structural strength of the second permanent magnet 21 .

[0104] In one embodiment, on a plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotor core 11, the length of the line between the rotor central axis and any point on the end edge of the second permanent magnet 21 close to the rotating shaft is Di2, the inner diameter of the rotor core 11 is Di1, and min(Di2)≥0.5*Di1. The rotating shaft needs to be assembled at the inner hole of the rotor core 11. On the one hand, the above-mentioned dimensional relationship can make way for the assembly of the rotating shaft; on the other hand, without affecting the assembly of the rotating shaft, the inner hole of the second permanent magnet 21 can be filled with plastic packaging material or other materials to enhance the strength of the rotor.

[0105] In one embodiment, Fig.15 As shown, min(Di2)=0.5*Di1, that is, the inner diameter of the second permanent magnet 21 is the same as the inner diameter of the rotor core 11 , which can increase the magnetic supply surface of the second permanent magnet 21 and improve the magnetic flux contribution of the second permanent magnet 21 .

[0106] In one embodiment, on a plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotor core 11, the length of the line between the central axis of the rotor and any point on the end edge of the second permanent magnet 21 close to the rotating shaft is Di2, and the length of the line between the central axis of the rotor and the center of the end edge of one pole of the first permanent magnet 12 close to the rotating shaft is Di3, and max(Di2)≥0.75*Di3. Preferably, max(Di2)≥Di3. When close to the rotating shaft, on the one hand, the magnetic path area of ​​the rotor core 11 is too small and the core is easily saturated. On the other hand, the permanent magnet here contributes little to the torque and the utilization rate of the permanent magnet is low. Therefore, limiting the relationship between Di2 and Di3 can improve the utilization rate of the second permanent magnet 21, while reducing the saturation degree of the rotor core 11 and reducing losses.

[0107] In one embodiment, a limiting protrusion 111 is disposed on the outer circumference of the rotor core 11 . The limiting protrusion 111 extends laterally from both circumferential sides of the rotor core 11 and forms a radial limit for the first permanent magnet 12 .

[0108] In this embodiment, the limiting protrusion 111 is located at the outermost periphery of the rotor core 11, and extends circumferentially from the two side surfaces of the rotor core 11 in the circumferential direction, and the two limiting protrusions 111 extending in opposite directions are arranged at intervals, thereby forming an open slot structure while radially limiting the first permanent magnet 12, thereby reducing the radial magnetic leakage of the first permanent magnet 12.

[0109] In one embodiment, the outer peripheral wall of the rotor core 11 includes a plurality of arc surfaces arranged at intervals, and along the circumferential direction, the distance between a single arc surface and the central axis of the rotor core 11 decreases from the middle to both ends. This arrangement can form an air gap structure with non-uniform thickness along the radial direction of the rotor between the outer peripheral wall of the rotor core 11 and the inner peripheral wall of the stator structure, which can reduce the harmonic content of the magnetic field, reduce the torque pulsation of the motor, and weaken the vibration noise of the motor.

[0110] In this embodiment, since the rotor core 11 forms an open slot structure, the outer peripheral structure of the rotor core 11 is not a full circle, but a plurality of arc segments arranged at intervals. The middle of each arc segment protrudes radially outward to form an arc structure that is misaligned with the center of the rotor outer circle. This can improve the air gap magnetic density between the stator and the rotor, is more conducive to forming a sine curve, and improves the working performance of the motor.

[0111] In one embodiment, on a plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotor core 11, the length of a line connecting the center axis of the rotor and any point on the end edge of the second permanent magnet 21 close to the air gap side is Do2, the length of a line connecting the center axis of the rotor and any point on the end edge of the rotor core 11 close to the air gap side is Do1, and max(Do2)≤max(Do1).

[0112] In one embodiment, max(Do2)≤0.98*max(Do1).

[0113] For the motor, on the one hand, the stator structure is sleeved on the outside of the rotor structure, and an air gap is set between the rotor structure and the stator structure. This setting can make way for the assembly of the stator structure; on the other hand, in order to ensure that the first permanent magnet 12 will not fall off after being assembled into the rotor core 11, the outer circle of the rotor core 11 may be provided with a limiting protrusion 111. The magnetic circuit area of ​​the limiting protrusion 111 is small and easy to saturate, and the position of the limiting protrusion 111 is close to the air gap, which is the magnetic flux gathering position. The iron loss here is large, and max(Do2)≤max(Do1) can make the magnetic flux of the second permanent magnet 21 avoid the position of the limiting protrusion 111, reducing the iron loss of the motor. In motors with a small iron loss ratio, max(Do2)=max(Do1) is a better choice. In motors with a large iron loss ratio, preferably, max(Do2)≤0.98*max(Do1). It should be noted that the end edge of the second permanent magnet 21 close to the air gap side is not limited to a full arc, a segmented arc, a combination of an arc and a straight line, a straight line or other shapes.

[0114] In one embodiment, on a plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotor core 11, the length of a line connecting the center axis of the rotor and any point on the end edge of the second permanent magnet 21 close to the air gap is Do2, and the length of a line connecting the center axis of the rotor and the center of the end edge of one pole of the first permanent magnet 12 close to the air gap is Do3, and max(Do2)≤1.2*Do3.

[0115] In one embodiment, |max(Do2)-Do3|≤1.5 mm.

[0116] Limiting the positional relationship between the first permanent magnet 12 and the second permanent magnet 21 near the air gap can make the magnetic lines of force of the first permanent magnet 12 and the second permanent magnet 21 have a better superposition effect near the air gap, thereby improving the air gap magnetic flux density.

[0117] In one embodiment, the first permanent magnet 12 is a sintered permanent magnet or an injection-molded permanent magnet, which can be determined according to the use occasion and use temperature of the motor.

[0118] In one embodiment, the intrinsic coercive force of the second permanent magnet 21 is lower than the intrinsic coercive force of the first permanent magnet 12. Compared with the second permanent magnet 21 located at the axial end of the rotor core 11, the first permanent magnet 12 is embedded in the rotor core 11 and is directly affected by the stator demagnetization magnetic field. The intrinsic coercive force of the first permanent magnet 12 is set to be higher, which can enhance the anti-demagnetization ability of the motor.

[0119] In one embodiment, the rotor core 11 is formed by stacking silicon steel sheets, or the rotor core 11 is injection-molded magnetic steel. In a plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the rotor core 11 and in a radial direction, the rotor core 11 is magnetized alternately with N and S poles.

[0120] The rotor core 11 is a path carrier for the flux of the first permanent magnet 12 and the second permanent magnet 21 to flow, and has the function of clearing and guiding the flux.

[0121] In one embodiment, the rotor core 11 is formed by laminating silicon steel sheets and has better magnetic conductivity.

[0122] In one embodiment, the rotor core 11 is an injection-molded magnetic steel, which has a pulling effect on the magnetic flux of the first permanent magnet 12 and the second permanent magnet 21 after magnetization, and can also guide the magnetic flux to enter the air gap and the stator after magnetic concentration.

[0123] In one embodiment, the second permanent magnet 21 is injection-molded or filled on the rotor core 11 .

[0124] In one embodiment, the second permanent magnet 21 , the rotor core 11 , and the first permanent magnet 12 are manufactured separately and then assembled together.

[0125] The second permanent magnet 21 and the first permanent magnet 12 can be processed and manufactured in different ways, so the manufacturing method of the rotor can be selected according to production conditions, thereby improving the flexibility of rotor structure production.

[0126] In one embodiment, the rotor structure is filled with molding compound at the end and the internal gap and molded into a whole, which can ensure the overall structural strength of the rotor assembly.

[0127] In one embodiment, the rotor structure is assembled and fixed together by fasteners. The rotor can be fixed together by gluing, riveting or other fastening methods, which can simplify the rotor production process and reduce production costs.

[0128] See also Fig.21 As shown, compared with the motor in the related art, the magnetic concentration coefficient of the motor using the rotor structure of the embodiment of the present invention is increased by more than 60%, and the magnetic concentration performance is significantly improved.

[0129] See also Fig. 22 As shown, compared with the motor in the related art, the magnetic leakage coefficient of the motor using the rotor structure of the embodiment of the present invention is reduced by more than 10%, which effectively reduces the magnetic leakage and improves the motor performance.

[0130] See also Fig.23 As shown, compared with the motor in the related art, the no-load flux of the motor using the rotor structure of the embodiment of the present invention is increased by more than 50%, which effectively increases the no-load flux and improves the motor performance.

[0131] See also Fig.24 As shown, compared with the motor in the related art, the air gap flux density of the motor using the rotor structure of the embodiment of the present invention is increased by more than 60%, which effectively increases the air gap flux density, improves the motor torque density, and increases the motor output.

[0132] See also Fig.25 As shown, compared with the motors of the related art, the torque multiple of the motor adopting the rotor structure of the embodiment of the present invention becomes increasingly advantageous as the current increases, thereby achieving a larger torque multiple, improving the motor torque density, and increasing the motor output.

[0133] See also Fig.26 As shown, compared with the motor in the related art, the torque pulsation of the motor adopting the rotor structure of the embodiment of the present invention is reduced by more than 30%, the torque pulsation is significantly reduced, and the electromagnetic vibration and noise of the motor can be effectively weakened.

[0134] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the motor comprises a stator structure and a rotor structure, and the rotor structure is the above-mentioned rotor structure. The stator structure is sleeved on the outer circumference of the rotor structure.

[0135] In one embodiment, the axial height of the rotor core 11 is x; the stator structure includes a stator core 31, and the axial height of the stator core 31 is w, where x≥w. Preferably, x≥1.05*w. In the present invention, the end magnetic lines of force of the rotor core 11 can enter the rotor core 11 through magnetic guidance to become the main magnetic flux, which does not rely on the excessive magnetic conductivity of the stator core 31, and can also improve the rotor magnetic field strength. Therefore, limiting the relationship between x and w can improve the utilization rate of the stator core 31 and reduce the rotor saturation degree.

[0136] In one embodiment, the axial height of the rotor structure is v, the axial height of the stator core 31 is w, and v≥1.4*w. Limiting the relationship between v and w can further improve the utilization of the stator core 31 while ensuring proper saturation of the stator.
