[0030] At present, in the industry, the rotors of hub motors for electric bicycles all adopt an outer rotor surface-mounted structure, that is, the outer rotor is an iron core ring, and sintered neodymium iron boron magnets are sequentially attached to the inner ring wall. The shape of the magnets is rectangular, which will cause the magnets not to fit tightly with the inner wall of the rotor core, affecting the air gap of the motor and resulting in an uneven air gap of the motor. In addition, the position of this hub motor is controlled by Hall induction. Hall is an electronic component and is easily damaged, resulting in a high repair rate of this surface-mounted hub motor.

[0031] To solve the above problems, the present invention proposes a hub motor outer rotor topology structure, an electric bicycle, and an electric motorcycle, aiming to provide a hub motor outer rotor topology structure, an electric bicycle, and an electric motorcycle that are not easily damaged by Hall elements. Figures 1 to 4 It is a schematic structural diagram of an embodiment provided by the hub motor outer rotor topology structure of the present invention.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 , in an embodiment of the present invention, the hub motor outer rotor topology structure includes a body, which is arranged in a ring shape, and a plurality of accommodation grooves are recessed along the diameter direction on the inner side for accommodating magnetic blocks; the plurality of accommodation grooves are sequentially and evenly spaced along the circumferential side of the body; wherein, a magnetic isolation bridge is spaced between every two of the plurality of accommodation grooves, and the motor has salient polarity and is suitable for being controlled and driven by a high-frequency injection algorithm.

[0033] The technical solution of the present invention is to adopt a plurality of the accommodation grooves recessed along the diameter direction on the inner side of the body for accommodating the magnetic blocks, and the plurality of accommodation grooves are sequentially and evenly spaced along the circumferential side of the body. In this way, the magnetic blocks are tightly attached to the inner wall of the rotor core. At the same time, a magnetic isolation bridge is spaced between every two of the plurality of accommodation grooves, and the motor has salient polarity and is suitable for being controlled and driven by a high-frequency injection algorithm, thereby solving the problems of easy damage and frequent replacement of Hall elements.

[0034] In addition, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the motor has an air gap, wherein the magnetic block is directly communicated with the air gap. It can be understood that in some embodiments, since the magnetic block is inserted along the length direction of the body, that is, the accommodation groove is closed, which further leads to the magnetic block not being communicated with the air gap, greatly increasing the magnetic leakage phenomenon, that is, the magnetic flux is reduced, thus further reducing the motor torque and the overall performance of the motor. Therefore, in another embodiment, the motor has an air gap, wherein the magnetic block is directly communicated with the air gap, that is, the accommodation groove is set to be semi-open, so that the magnetic block is communicated with the air gap, thereby increasing the magnetic flux, that is, reducing the magnetic leakage phenomenon of the motor and improving the motor torque and the overall performance of the motor.

[0035] In addition, please refer to Figure 2, both sides of the magnetic isolation bridge are arranged at an angle with its center line to form a limiting surface for clamping the magnetic block. It can be understood that the body belongs to the rotor and will perform high-speed rotational motion. In some embodiments, the magnetic block is fixed on the inner side wall of the body by gluing. However, when the body rotates at a high speed, due to the action of the tangential force, the magnetic block is extremely likely to fall off from the inner side wall of the body, thereby affecting the reliability of the motor. Therefore, in another embodiment, both sides of the magnetic isolation bridge are arranged at an angle with its center line to form the limiting surface for clamping the magnetic block. Through the setting of the limiting surface, the magnetic block is clamped on the inner side wall of the body by physical means. Furthermore, when the body rotates at a high speed, the magnetic block is not likely to fall off from the body, thereby further improving the reliability of the motor during use.

[0036] In addition, the magnetic isolation bridge and the magnetic block have different magnetic permeabilities, so that the inductances of the D-axis and Q-axis of the motor are different. It can be understood that in this embodiment, by adopting a plurality of the accommodating grooves recessed along the diameter direction on the inner side of the body for accommodating the magnetic blocks, the plurality of accommodating grooves are arranged at equal intervals in sequence along the circumferential side of the body. In this way, the magnetic blocks are closely attached to the inner wall of the rotor core. At the same time, there is a magnetic isolation bridge between every two of the plurality of accommodating grooves, and the motor has salient poles and is suitable for high-frequency injection algorithm control drive. Furthermore, the problem of easy damage and frequent replacement of Hall elements is solved. The salient poles of the motor are precisely because the magnetic isolation bridge and the magnetic block have different magnetic permeabilities, so that the inductances of the D-axis and Q-axis of the motor are different, thereby making the motor generate salient poles. The salient poles of the motor are beneficial to high-frequency injection algorithm control drive, and further solve the problem of easy damage and frequent replacement of Hall elements.

[0037] Furthermore, the salient pole ratio of the motor is 1.4 - 1.6. It can be understood that in this embodiment, the salient pole ratio of the motor is between 1.4 and 1.6, and in the preferred embodiment, it is 1.5. It can be understood that the salient pole ratio of the motor refers to the distance ratio between the magnetic block and the motor salient pole, which is an important parameter in the motor design. The size of the salient pole ratio of the motor has an important impact on the performance of the motor. The larger the salient pole ratio of the motor, the greater the distance between the magnetic block and the motor salient pole. Therefore, the action range of the magnetic field is larger, and the torque of the motor is larger. However, as the salient pole ratio increases, the air gap between the magnetic block and the motor salient pole will also increase, resulting in an increase in the magnetic resistance of the magnetic circuit of the motor, a decrease in the magnetic flux density, and a reduction in the uniformity and stability of the magnetic field, affecting the efficiency and stability of the motor. Therefore, in this embodiment, through multiple experimental verifications, it is appropriate that the salient pole ratio of the motor is 1.4 - 1.6, and in the preferred embodiment, the salient pole ratio of the motor is 1.5.

[0038] In addition, the magnetic block is made of sintered neodymium iron boron magnet. It can be understood that the sintered neodymium iron boron magnet has the following advantages:

[0039] 1. High magnetic energy product: The magnetic energy product of the neodymium iron boron magnet is the highest among permanent magnetic materials at present, which can provide extremely strong magnetic force and is suitable for occasions with high magnetic field requirements.

[0040] 2. High coercivity: It has high coercivity and strong demagnetization resistance ability, and is suitable for use in complex environments.

[0041] 3. High energy density: It has high energy density, small volume but strong magnetic force, and is suitable for applications with limited space.

[0042] 4. Good temperature stability: By adjusting the composition and process, stable magnetic properties can be maintained at relatively high temperatures.

[0043] 5. Excellent mechanical properties: After sintering treatment, it has relatively high hardness and strength and can withstand a certain amount of mechanical stress.

[0044] 6. Diverse shapes and sizes: It can be made into various shapes and sizes through different processing methods to meet different requirements.

[0045] 7. High cost performance: Although the raw material cost is relatively high, its excellent performance and wide applications make it have high cost performance.

[0046] 8. Easy to process and coat: Although it has high hardness, it can be processed through specific processes, and the surface can be coated to enhance corrosion resistance.

[0047] 9. Environmentally friendly material: The neodymium iron boron material can be recycled and reused, meeting environmental protection requirements.

[0048] Thus, selecting the sintered neodymium iron boron magnet as the material of the magnetic block of the motor also endows the motor with the above advantages.

The specific structure of the hub motor outer rotor topological structure refers to the above embodiments. Since the electric bicycle adopts all the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated here one by one.
