[0035] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this invention should be understood in their ordinary sense by those skilled in the art. The features mentioned above or in the specific examples mentioned in this invention can be combined arbitrarily, and these specific embodiments are only used to illustrate the invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.

[0036] Example

[0037] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this invention provides a hybrid excitation switched reluctance motor combining axial and radial air gaps, including a stator 1, a rotor 3, winding coils 2, and a permanent magnet 4. The stator 1 includes several stator 1 modules. One side of each stator 1 module has an arc-shaped groove 5, and the other side has an arc-shaped protrusion 6. The arc-shaped protrusions 6 of two adjacent stator 1 modules are inserted into the arc-shaped grooves 5. Modularizing the stator 1 reduces the assembly difficulty between the stator 1 and the rotor 3, and also simplifies the installation of the winding coils 2.

[0038] like Figure 3As shown in the figure, the stator 1 includes a stator yoke 13 and a stator pole of a salient pole structure, the stator pole is divided into a field pole 11 and an auxiliary pole 12, the number of the stator pole is twelve, including six field poles 11 and six auxiliary poles 12, the field poles 11 and the auxiliary poles 12 are evenly arranged in the circumferential inside of the stator yoke 13. In order to make the torque generated by the motor as large as possible, the pole arc of the field pole 11 is greater than twice the pole arc of the auxiliary pole 12; in order to ensure that the stator 1 has space to install the winding coil 2, the sum of the pole arcs of the field pole 11 and the auxiliary pole 12 is less than the included angle between the axes of two adjacent auxiliary poles 12.

[0039] As shown in the figure, Figure 4 The permanent magnet 4 is arranged between the adjacent field poles 11 and auxiliary poles 12, and the two sides of the field pole 11 and the auxiliary pole 12 are provided with fixing grooves 14, and the two ends of the permanent magnet 4 are respectively inserted and connected in the adjacent two fixing grooves 14. By means of the insertion and connection with the fixing grooves 14, the permanent magnet 4 is convenient to install and disassemble, so that when the permanent magnet 4 is demagnetized and damaged, it can be replaced. The axial length of the permanent magnet 4 is the same as the axial length of the whole motor, and the permanent magnet 4 is tangentially magnetized, wherein one end in contact with the field pole 11 is N pole and the other end in contact with the auxiliary pole 12 is S pole. The permanent magnet 4 is installed between the stator poles, and the permanent magnet 4 is not affected by the rotating speed of the rotor 3, and the heat can be dissipated through the stator core, so that the heat dissipation mode is simple. Even if the permanent magnet 4 is demagnetized or damaged, the motor can still keep running without stopping, so that the motor has higher reliability and fault tolerance, and can be applied in occasions requiring high temperature range and wide speed regulation range.

[0040] As shown in the figure, Figure 3 And Figure 7 The winding coil 2 adopts concentrated winding, the winding coil 2 is sleeved on the field pole 11, and there is no winding coil 2 wound on the auxiliary pole 12 in any form, and the auxiliary pole 12 only provides a return path for the magnetic flux generated by the winding coil 2. The number of turns and the winding direction of the winding coil 2 wound on each field pole 11 are the same. The winding coil 2 is divided into three phases, and the winding coils 2 on the axially symmetrical field poles 11 are connected to form a phase, such as the A-phase winding formed by the winding coils 2 on the P A1 field poles 11 and the winding coils 2 on the P A2 field poles 11, the B-phase winding formed by the winding coils 2 on the P B1 field poles 11 and the winding coils 2 on the P B2 field poles 11, and the C-phase winding formed by the winding coils 2 on the P C1 field poles 11 and the winding coils 2 on the P C2 field poles 11. The connection modes of the three-phase winding coils 2 are completely the same, which ensures the symmetry of the motor circuit and magnetic circuit.

[0041] As shown in the figure, Figure 5As shown, the rotor 3 is coaxially nested inside the stator 1. The rotor 3 includes a magnetic shielding sleeve 32 and rotor blocks 31 with salient pole structures. The rotor blocks 31 are concentrically and equally spaced on the outer circumference of the magnetic shielding sleeve 32. There are eight rotor blocks 31. The side of the rotor block 31 closest to the magnetic shielding sleeve 32 has a dovetail-shaped protrusion 33. The outer circumference of the magnetic shielding sleeve 32 has several dovetail-shaped grooves 34. The dovetail-shaped protrusion 33 is embedded in the dovetail-shaped grooves 34. In order to maximize the range of torque generated by the motor, the pole arc of the rotor block 31 is greater than the angle between the axis of the auxiliary pole 12 and the axis of the adjacent excitation pole 11 and less than one rotor pole pitch.

[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, both the inner surface of the stator poles and the outer surface of the rotor block 31 are provided with rectangular teeth 7. The rectangular teeth 7 of the stator poles and the rectangular teeth 7 of the rotor block 31 are clearance-fitted to form a shaft-diameter mixed air gap 8. The shaft-diameter mixed air gap 8 includes an axial air gap 81 and a radial air gap 82. The motor adopts a shaft-diameter mixed air gap 8, which increases the overlap area of ​​the stator and rotor poles in the aligned position. Without changing the outer diameter, stack length, and air gap length of the motor, the magnetic reluctance of the air gap can be reduced, and the magnetic flux utilization rate of the air gap can be increased, thereby effectively improving the output torque density and efficiency of the motor.

[0043] like Figure 8 As shown, when no current flows through the winding coil 2, only the magnetic flux generated by the permanent magnet 4 exists in the motor. The magnetic flux generated by the permanent magnet 4 mainly forms a closed magnetic circuit through the excitation pole 11, stator yoke 13 and auxiliary pole 12 in contact with it. No matter how the rotor 3 changes position, the magnetic flux generated by the permanent magnet 4 hardly passes through the air gap, so the cogging torque generated by the motor when it is unloaded is close to zero.

[0044] like Figure 9 As shown, when current flows through phase A winding coil 2, the motor contains magnetic flux generated by permanent magnet 4 and magnetic flux generated by phase A winding coil 2. Since the direction of the magnetic flux generated by phase A winding coil 2 is completely opposite to the direction of the magnetic flux generated by permanent magnet 4 in the excitation pole 11, stator yoke 13, and auxiliary pole 12, they cancel each other out. Therefore, the magnetic flux generated by permanent magnet 4 can only pass downwards sequentially through the excitation pole 11 in contact with it, the shaft diameter mixing air gap 8, the rotor block 31, and the auxiliary pole 12 in contact with it to form a closed loop. Furthermore, since the direction of the magnetic flux generated by phase A winding coil 2 is completely opposite to the direction of the magnetic flux generated by permanent magnet 4 in its adjacent slot in the auxiliary pole 12, the magnetic flux generated by permanent magnet 4 in the slot adjacent to phase A winding coil 2 also forms a closed loop through the shaft diameter mixing air gap 8 and rotor block 31. These two magnetic fluxes, together with the magnetic flux generated by phase A winding coil 2, superimpose at the air gap, increasing the air gap magnetic flux density and significantly increasing the motor's output torque, thereby improving the motor's overload capacity and operating efficiency.

[0045] Therefore, by installing permanent magnets 4 between the stator poles, this invention not only increases the air gap magnetic flux density under the same excitation current but also reduces magnetic saturation in the stator 1. This not only improves the output torque density and efficiency of the motor but also enhances its overload capacity, solving the problems of low output torque density and low efficiency in switched reluctance motors and exploring a new path for the development of high-performance switched reluctance motors. Figure 10 As shown, when rotor 3 rotates counterclockwise, the rotor first rotates to rotor position I, and then to rotor position II. At rotor position I, P r1 and P r5 Rotor block 31 overlaps with both excitation pole 11 and auxiliary pole 12 simultaneously. At rotor position II, P r2 and P r6 Rotor block 31 overlaps with both excitation pole 11 and auxiliary pole 12 simultaneously. Therefore, when rotor 3 rotates counterclockwise, P r1 and P r5 Rotor block 31 first interacts with the stator poles to generate electromagnetic torque T1, P r2 and P r6 The rotor block 31 interacts with the stator pole to generate an electromagnetic torque T2. The electromagnetic torque generated by the A-phase winding is equal to T1 + T2. Since T1 and T2 are generated at different times, they overlap. This design helps to broaden the range of positive torque generated by the motor and reduce the torque pulsation of the motor.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, and these modifications or equivalent substitutions cannot cause the modified technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
