Description

Motor rotor, motor and vehicle Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of motor technology, specifically to structural improvements of motor rotors and corresponding motors and vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] With the promotion of new energy vehicles, electric vehicles are becoming increasingly popular, and the market demands higher and higher driving ranges. Currently, the driving range of new energy vehicles in urban driving conditions has reached a relatively high level, but the driving range on highways remains low, typically only 60-70% of that in urban conditions. Analysis of the reasons reveals that, besides the increased wind resistance at high speeds leading to increased energy consumption, the low efficiency of the main drive motor at high speeds is also a major factor. As one of the core components of electric vehicles, how to maximize the high-efficiency range of the main drive motor within the high-speed range (improving the motor efficiency at high speeds) is a pressing issue that needs to be addressed.

[0003] The iron loss of an electric motor mainly consists of hysteresis loss and eddy current loss, both of which are energy losses caused by the alternating magnetic field inside the iron core. The formula for calculating hysteresis loss is:

[0004] Where, k h It is a constant related to material properties, f is the alternation frequency of the magnetic field, and B m is the maximum magnetic flux density, and n is an empirical constant.

[0005] The formula for calculating eddy current loss is:

[0006] Where, k e is the eddy current loss coefficient, which is related to factors such as the resistivity and geometry of the material; f is the alternating frequency of the magnetic field; B m is the maximum magnetic flux density, and V is the volume of the conductor.

[0007] As can be seen from the above formula, the higher the proportion of harmonic magnetic fields (especially higher harmonics) in the air gap, the greater the alternation frequency f of the magnetic field, and therefore the greater the iron loss generated by the iron core; when local magnetic flux density saturation (local magnetic flux density is too high) occurs in the iron core, the maximum magnetic induction intensity B... m The larger the core, the greater the iron loss generated by the core.

[0008] When a permanent magnet synchronous motor operates at high speed, a reverse field weakening current is usually applied in the d-axis direction of the motor to reduce the back EMF of the load. As a result, the armature reaction of the motor is more intense than that under non-field weakening conditions, and the harmonics of the air gap magnetic field increase significantly. The harmonic magnetic field will cause the iron loss of the motor to rise sharply, resulting in severe motor heating and low motor efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0009] This invention provides a motor rotor, a motor, and a vehicle to solve the problem of low motor efficiency of permanent magnet synchronous motors under high-speed conditions in the prior art.

[0010] To achieve the above-mentioned technical effects, the technical solution adopted by the motor rotor proposed in this invention is as follows:

[0011] An electric motor rotor includes a rotor body, the rotor body comprising:

[0012] A rotor core has multiple first permanent magnet slot groups and multiple second permanent magnet slot groups formed on it. The first and second permanent magnet slot groups are staggered along the circumference of the rotor core. Each first permanent magnet slot group includes a first permanent magnet slot and a second permanent magnet slot arranged in a V-shape, symmetrical about the d-axis. Each second permanent magnet slot group includes a third permanent magnet slot and a fourth permanent magnet slot arranged in a V-shape, symmetrical about the d-axis. The first and fourth permanent magnet slots are adjacent to each other, and the second and third permanent magnet slots are adjacent to each other. The outer end of the body slot is connected to the outer end of the fourth permanent magnet slot to form a first strip-shaped magnetic isolation slot, and the outer end of the second permanent magnet slot is connected to the outer end of the third permanent magnet slot to form a second strip-shaped magnetic isolation slot. The first strip-shaped magnetic isolation slot and the second strip-shaped magnetic isolation slot pass through the q-axis direction and are located in the outer circle region of the rotor core. Two first notches symmetrical about the d-axis are formed on the outer circle of the rotor core between the first permanent magnet slot and the second permanent magnet slot, and / or two second notches symmetrical about the d-axis are formed on the outer circle of the rotor core between the third permanent magnet slot and the fourth permanent magnet slot.

[0013] The permanent magnets are respectively installed in the first permanent magnet slot, the second permanent magnet slot, the third permanent magnet slot and the fourth permanent magnet slot.

[0014] The first permanent magnet slot group and the second permanent magnet slot group are asymmetrical, and the first notch and the second notch are asymmetrical.

[0015] Each of the first permanent magnet slot groups has one first permanent magnet slot and one second permanent magnet slot.

[0017] The first permanent magnet slot includes a first inner permanent magnet slot and a first outer permanent magnet slot located outside the first inner permanent magnet slot. The second permanent magnet slot includes a second inner permanent magnet slot and a second outer permanent magnet slot located outside the second inner permanent magnet slot. The first inner permanent magnet slot and the second inner permanent magnet slot are symmetric about the d-axis and arranged in a V shape.

[0018] The third permanent magnet slot includes a third inner permanent magnet slot and a third outer permanent magnet slot located outside the third inner permanent magnet slot.

[0019] The outer end of the first inner permanent magnet slot is connected to the outer end of the fourth inner permanent magnet slot to form the first strip-shaped magnetic isolation slot. The outer end of the second inner permanent magnet slot is connected to the outer end of the third inner permanent magnet slot to form the second strip-shaped magnetic isolation slot.

[0020] Among the two first gaps, one is located on the outer circumference of the rotor core between the first inner permanent magnet slot and the first outer permanent magnet slot, and the other is located on the outer circumference of the rotor core between the second inner permanent magnet slot and the second outer permanent magnet slot.

[0021] Among the two second gaps, one is located on the outer circumference of the rotor core between the third inner permanent magnet slot and the third outer permanent magnet slot, and the other is located on the outer circumference of the rotor core between the fourth inner permanent magnet slot and the fourth outer permanent magnet slot.

[0022] The inner and outer diameters of the first strip-shaped magnetic isolation slot satisfy: 0 < R1 - R2 < 2.4 * gap. The inner and outer diameters of the second strip-shaped magnetic isolation slot satisfy: 0 < R3 - R4 < 2.4 * gap.

[0023] Where, R1 is the outer diameter of the first strip-shaped magnetic isolation slot, R2 is the inner diameter of the first strip-shaped magnetic isolation slot, R3 is the outer diameter of the second strip-shaped magnetic isolation slot, R4 is the inner diameter of the second strip-shaped magnetic isolation slot, and gap is the air gap of the motor, 0 < gap < 2.

[0024] The length A2 of the permanent magnet in the first inner-layer permanent magnet slot satisfies: 0.65*(π / P - 2*D1 / R0)*R0 < A2 < 0.85*(π / P - 2*D1 / R0)*R0, where D1 is the distance from the outer end of the first inner-layer permanent magnet slot to the q-axis, P is the number of pole pairs of the motor, and R0 is the outer diameter of the rotor; the width B2 of the permanent magnet in the fourth inner-layer permanent magnet slot satisfies: 0.5*D1 < B2 < 1.5*D1; the angle V2 between the first inner-layer permanent magnet slot and the second inner-layer permanent magnet slot satisfies: 180° / P < V2 < 360° / P + 20°; the angle V4 between the third inner-layer permanent magnet slot and the fourth inner-layer permanent magnet slot satisfies: 0 < V4 - V2 < 30°; the angle V1 between the first outer-layer permanent magnet slot and the second outer-layer permanent magnet slot satisfies: 145° < V1 < 180°; the angle V3 between the third outer-layer permanent magnet slot and the fourth outer-layer permanent magnet slot satisfies: 0 < V4 - V3 < 30°; D2 is the distance from the outer end of the fourth inner-layer permanent magnet slot to the q-axis, and D1 and D2 satisfy: 2.3 < D1 / D2 < 6.3, and 0 < D2 < 2*gap, where gap is the air gap of the motor; D3 is the distance from the outer end of the first outer-layer permanent magnet slot to the q-axis, D4 is the distance from the outer end of the fourth outer-layer permanent magnet slot to the q-axis, and D3 and D4 satisfy: 2 < D3 / D1 < 5, 0 < D3 - D4 < 0.5*A1, where A1 is the length of the permanent magnet in the first outer-layer permanent magnet slot.

[0025] The first notch is located between the d-axis and the q-axis, and along the circumferential direction from the d-axis towards the q-axis, the depth of the first notch gradually increases.

[0026] The second notch is located between the d-axis and the q-axis, and along the circumferential direction from the d-axis towards the q-axis, the depth of the second notch gradually increases.

[0027] The width G1 and depth F1 of the first notch satisfy: 1 < F1 / Gi < 0.5*B1 / gap + 0.4; the width G2 and depth F2 of the second notch satisfy: 1 < F2 / G2 < 0.85*B1 / gap + 0.4; where, gap < G1 < 1.8*gap, 0 < G1 - G2 < 0.5*Gap + 0.2, B1 is the width of the permanent magnet in the fourth outer-layer permanent magnet slot, and gap is the air gap of the motor.

[0028] The present invention also provides a motor, including the above-mentioned motor rotor.

[0029] The present invention also provides a vehicle, including the above-mentioned motor.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and positive effects:

[0031] 1. In the present invention, the outer end of the first permanent magnet slot in the rotor of the motor is connected to the outer end of the adjacent fourth permanent magnet slot to form a first strip-shaped magnetic isolation slot, and the outer end of the second permanent magnet slot is connected to the outer end of the third permanent magnet slot to form a second strip-shaped magnetic isolation slot. This forms multiple first strip-shaped magnetic isolation slots and multiple second strip-shaped magnetic isolation slots arranged circumferentially inside the air gap between the rotor and the stator. Correspondingly, a strip-shaped magnetic isolation bridge is formed on the rotor core outside the first strip-shaped magnetic isolation slots and the second strip-shaped magnetic isolation slots. The multiple first strip-shaped magnetic isolation slots and multiple second strip-shaped magnetic isolation slots arranged circumferentially can play a similar role to the air gap. When the magnetic lines of the main magnetic flux pass through the q-axis, the strip-shaped magnetic isolation slots and the strip-shaped magnetic isolation bridge can effectively slow down the sudden change in magnetic resistance of the magnetic lines of force from the core to the air gap, thereby effectively reducing the risk of magnetic line distortion, reducing the harmonic distortion rate of the air gap magnetic field, thereby reducing the alternation frequency f of the magnetic field, and thus reducing iron loss and improving motor efficiency.

[0032] 2. Since the q-axis is the main path for the main magnetic flux, and since magnetic leakage is prone to occur near the strip-shaped magnetic isolation bridge in the permanent magnet slot, local magnetic flux saturation is likely to occur in the q-axis region at the outer circumference of the rotor. The strip-shaped magnetic isolation bridge can effectively improve the uniformity of the magnetic field distribution, avoid excessively high local magnetic flux density, and thus reduce the maximum magnetic flux density B. m This reduces iron loss.

[0033] 3. Magnetic bridges can effectively block the flow path of eddy currents in local areas, thereby reducing eddy current losses and iron losses;

[0034] 4. In the rotor of the present invention, two first notches symmetrical about the d-axis are formed on the outer circle of the rotor core between the first permanent magnet slot and the second permanent magnet slot, and / or two second notches symmetrical about the d-axis are formed on the outer circle of the rotor core between the third permanent magnet slot and the fourth permanent magnet slot. This can effectively optimize the magnetic reluctance of the magnetic bridge of the permanent magnet slot, make the air gap magnetic field distribution more sinusoidal, thereby reducing the harmonic content of the air gap magnetic field, thereby reducing the alternation frequency f of the magnetic field, and thus reducing iron loss.

[0035] 5. The first and second gaps can also effectively block the flow path of eddy currents in local areas, thereby reducing eddy current losses and iron losses. By modifying the shape of the first and second gaps, the air gap harmonic magnetic field can be effectively optimized, the harmonic distortion rate of the air gap magnetic field can be reduced, thereby effectively suppressing the generation of iron losses at high speeds and improving motor efficiency.

[0043] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0044] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0045] The motor in this embodiment of the invention includes a motor stator and a motor rotor arranged coaxially. An air gap is formed between the outer peripheral wall of the motor rotor and the inner peripheral wall of the motor stator, referred to as the air gap.

[0046] Referring to Figures 1 to 3, in some embodiments of the present invention, the motor rotor includes a rotor body 100.

[0047] The rotor body 100 includes a rotor core 110 and a permanent magnet 120.

[0048] Multiple first permanent magnet slot groups I and multiple second permanent magnet slot groups II are formed on the rotor core 110. The first permanent magnet slot groups I and the second permanent magnet slot groups II are staggered along the circumference of the rotor core 110, that is, they are arranged in sequence along the circumference as one first permanent magnet slot group I, one second permanent magnet slot group II, one first permanent magnet slot group I, one second permanent magnet slot group II, ..., and so on. The first permanent magnet slot groups I at each location have the same structure and the same size parameters, and the second permanent magnet slot groups II at each location have the same structure and the same size parameters.

[0049] The first permanent magnet slot group I includes a first permanent magnet slot 111 and a second permanent magnet slot 112 arranged in a V-shape with respect to the d-axis of the motor. That is, the first permanent magnet slot 111 and the second permanent magnet slot 112 have the same structure and dimensions, and their cross-sections are both inclined straight strips, forming a V-shaped structure with the opening facing the outer peripheral wall of the rotor core 110. Similarly, the second permanent magnet slot group II includes a third permanent magnet slot 113 and a fourth permanent magnet slot 114 arranged in a V-shape with respect to the d-axis of the motor. That is, the third permanent magnet slot 113 and the fourth permanent magnet slot 114 have the same structure and dimensions, and their cross-sections are both inclined straight strips, forming a V-shaped structure with the opening facing the outer peripheral wall of the rotor core 110.

[0050] For any given first permanent magnet slot group I and two adjacent second permanent magnet slot groups II, the first permanent magnet slot 111 of the first permanent magnet slot group I is adjacent to the fourth permanent magnet slot 114 of one of the second permanent magnet slot groups II, and the outer end of the first permanent magnet slot 111 is connected to the outer end of the fourth permanent magnet slot 114 to form a first strip-shaped magnetic isolation slot 117; the second permanent magnet slot 112 of the first permanent magnet slot group I is adjacent to the third permanent magnet slot 113 of the other second permanent magnet slot group II, and the outer end of the second permanent magnet slot 112 is connected to the outer end of the third permanent magnet slot 113 to form a second strip-shaped magnetic isolation slot 118. Correspondingly, the rotor core 110 A strip-shaped magnetic bridge 119 is formed on the outside of the first strip-shaped magnetic isolation groove 117 and the second strip-shaped magnetic isolation groove 118; the first strip-shaped magnetic isolation groove 117 and the second strip-shaped magnetic isolation groove 118 pass through the q-axis direction of the motor (i.e., the first strip-shaped magnetic isolation groove 117 and the second strip-shaped magnetic isolation groove 118 pass through their respective q-axis) and are located in the outer circle region of the rotor core, i.e., close to the outer circle III of the rotor core; two first notches 115 symmetrical about the d-axis are formed on the outer circle region of the rotor core between the first permanent magnet groove 111 and the second permanent magnet groove 112, and two second notches 116 symmetrical about the d-axis are formed on the outer circle region of the rotor core between the third permanent magnet groove 113 and the fourth permanent magnet groove 114.

[0051] The permanent magnet 120 is correspondingly arranged in a one-to-one manner with the first permanent magnet slot 111, the second permanent magnet slot 112, the third permanent magnet slot 113, and the fourth permanent magnet slot 114, and is fixedly installed in the first permanent magnet slot 111, the second permanent magnet slot 112, the third permanent magnet slot 113, and the fourth permanent magnet slot 114, respectively. The permanent magnet 120 can be a non-rare earth magnet or a rare earth magnet, and the types of permanent magnets 120 in each permanent magnet slot can be the same or different, without specific restrictions.

[0052] The adjacent first permanent magnet slot group I and its internal permanent magnet 120, and the second permanent magnet slot group II and its internal permanent magnet 120 constitute two adjacent poles of the motor, namely the N pole and the S pole. Multiple first permanent magnet slot groups I and their internal permanent magnets 120, and multiple second permanent magnet slot groups II and their internal permanent magnets 120 constitute multiple pairs of poles of the motor.

[0053] Since the q-axis is the main path for the main magnetic flux, and since magnetic leakage is very likely to occur near the outer end of the permanent magnet 120 slot, local magnetic flux saturation is likely to occur in the region of the rotor outer circle passing through the q-axis. The strip-shaped magnetic isolation slot can play a similar role to the air gap, effectively reducing the fluctuation amplitude of the magnetic reluctance change of the magnetic lines of force from the rotor core 110 to the air gap and from the stator core to the air gap, reducing the harmonic distortion rate of the air gap magnetic field, improving the uniformity of the magnetic field distribution, avoiding excessively high local magnetic flux density, effectively blocking the flow path of eddy currents, thereby reducing the maximum magnetic induction intensity, effectively suppressing the generation of iron loss at high speed, and thus improving the efficiency of the motor.

[0054] Two first notches 115, symmetrical about the d-axis, are formed on the outer circumference of the rotor core between the first permanent magnet slot 111 and the second permanent magnet slot 112. Two second notches 116, symmetrical about the d-axis, are formed on the outer circumference of the rotor core between the third permanent magnet slot 113 and the fourth permanent magnet slot 114. By modifying the shape of the first notches 115 and the second notches 116, the air gap harmonic magnetic field can be effectively optimized, the harmonic distortion rate of the air gap magnetic field can be reduced, thereby effectively suppressing the generation of iron loss at high speed and improving the efficiency of the motor.

[0055] In addition, both the strip-shaped magnetic shielding groove and the notch can effectively block the flow path of eddy currents in local areas, thereby reducing eddy current losses and iron losses. Under the above combination method, the iron losses of the motor at high speeds can be effectively reduced, and the motor efficiency can be significantly improved.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first permanent magnet slot group I and the second permanent magnet slot group II are asymmetrical, forming an adjacent pole asymmetrical magnetic circuit design. Since permanent magnet motors are usually controlled by a sine wave, the rotor magnetic circuit should be designed as a sine wave as much as possible to better match the control. The adjacent pole asymmetrical magnetic circuit design can make the entire circumferential air gap magnetic field more sinusoidal. In addition to reducing torque pulsation, the sinusoidal magnetic field distribution can reduce higher harmonics in the magnetic field, reduce the harmonic distortion rate of the air gap magnetic field, thereby reducing the alternation frequency of the magnetic field, and further reducing iron loss, which is conducive to improving motor efficiency.

[0057] Accordingly, the first notch 115 and the second notch 116 are asymmetrical and have different dimensional parameters to match the corresponding magnetic circuit.

[0058] The permanent magnets 120 contained in each permanent magnet slot can be of the same or different types. In order to reduce the cost of the motor, all permanent magnets 120 are of the same type. The permanent magnets 120 in the first inner permanent magnet slot 111a, the second inner permanent magnet slot 112a, the third inner permanent magnet slot 113a, and the fourth inner permanent magnet slot 114a have the same size parameters. The permanent magnets 120 in the first outer permanent magnet slot 111b, the second outer permanent magnet slot 112b, the third outer permanent magnet slot 113b, and the fourth outer permanent magnet slot 114b have the same size parameters.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, the first permanent magnet slot 111 includes a first inner permanent magnet slot 111a and a first outer permanent magnet slot 111b located outside the first inner permanent magnet slot 111a; the second permanent magnet slot 112 includes a second inner permanent magnet slot 112a and a second outer permanent magnet slot 112b located outside the second inner permanent magnet slot 112a. The first inner permanent magnet slot 111a and the second inner permanent magnet slot 112a are symmetrical about the d-axis and arranged in a V-shape, and the first outer permanent magnet slot 111b and the second outer permanent magnet slot 112b are symmetrical about the d-axis and arranged in a V-shape. That is, the first permanent magnet slot group I has a double-layer structure, with both the inner and outer permanent magnet slots arranged in a V-shape, making the first permanent magnet slot group I a double V-shaped permanent magnet slot group arrangement, which makes the magnetic field distribution more uniform, reduces edge effects, and enhances overall performance.

[0060] Similarly, the third permanent magnet slot 113 includes a third inner permanent magnet slot 113a and a third outer permanent magnet slot 113b located outside the third inner permanent magnet slot 113a; the fourth permanent magnet slot 114 includes a fourth inner permanent magnet slot 114a and a fourth outer permanent magnet slot 114b located outside the fourth inner permanent magnet slot 114a. The third inner permanent magnet slot 113a and the fourth inner permanent magnet slot 114a are symmetrical about the d-axis and arranged in a V-shape, and the third outer permanent magnet slot 113b and the fourth outer permanent magnet slot 114b are symmetrical about the d-axis and arranged in a V-shape. That is, the second permanent magnet slot group II is also a double-layer structure, with both the inner and outer permanent magnet slots arranged in a V-shape, making the second permanent magnet slot group II a double V-shaped permanent magnet 120 slot group arrangement, which makes the magnetic field distribution more uniform, reduces edge effects, and enhances the overall performance.

[0061] Accordingly, the outer end of the first inner permanent magnet groove 111a is connected to the outer end of the fourth inner permanent magnet groove 114a to form the first strip-shaped magnetic isolation groove 117, and the outer end of the second inner permanent magnet groove 112a is connected to the outer end of the third inner permanent magnet groove 113a to form the second strip-shaped magnetic isolation groove 118.

[0062] Of any two first notches 115 that are symmetrical about the d-axis, one first notch 115 is located on the outer circumference region of the rotor core between the first inner permanent magnet slot 111a and the first outer permanent magnet slot 111b, and the other first notch 115 is located on the outer circumference region of the rotor core between the second inner permanent magnet slot 112a and the second outer permanent magnet slot 112b, so as to facilitate processing and improve space utilization.

[0063] Among any two second gaps 116 that are symmetric about the d-axis, one of the second gaps 116 is located on the outer circumferential region of the rotor core between the third inner permanent magnet slot 113a and the third outer permanent magnet slot 113b, and the other second gap 116 is located on the outer circumferential region of the rotor core between the fourth inner permanent magnet slot 114a and the fourth outer permanent magnet slot 114b, so as to facilitate processing and improve space utilization.

[0064] The first strip-shaped magnetic isolation slot 117, the second strip-shaped magnetic isolation slot 118, the first gap 115, and the second gap 116 need to select appropriate sizes to avoid a significant increase in the magnetic resistance of the main magnetic flux path, which affects the performance of the motor. In addition, the mechanical properties of the rotor also need to be considered to avoid stress concentration.
