Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of axial permanent magnet motors, and particularly relates to a wide-speed-range axial permanent magnet motor rotor and a method for using the same. Background Art
[0002] Axial motors are usually in a flat disc shape, with their stators and rotors arranged in a parallel structure. The magnetic field flows along the axial direction of the motor, and they are structurally compact, with relatively smaller volume and weight. After installing permanent magnets on the rotor disc, compared with traditional radial magnetic field permanent magnet motors, they have higher efficiency and power density, so they are widely used in fields with relatively limited design space, such as electric vehicles, aerospace, and ship propulsion.
[0003] Currently, since axial motors generate torque through the interaction of the axial magnetic field and current, large axial electromagnetic forces will be generated between the stator and rotor of the axial motor during operation. And when the motor is operating at high speed, it will also be subject to large radial centrifugal forces. Currently, permanent magnets in existing axial magnetic field permanent magnet motors are generally surface-mounted on the rotor, resulting in a change in the viscosity of the glue under the conditions of high speed and high temperature, thus weakening the bonding force between the permanent magnet and the rotor surface, and then easily causing the permanent magnet to fall off and damage the motor. Moreover, due to the unique structural characteristics of surface-mounted axial motors, the air gap of the motor is relatively large, the magnetic field generation method is single, and the D-axis and Q-axis inductances are almost the same. At the same time, the demagnetization effect is not obvious when applying D-axis current, so the reluctance torque cannot be utilized, resulting in relatively poor performance of surface-mounted axial motors in weak magnetic control. And the weak magnetic performance of the motor has an important impact on the reliability and stability of the motor operation. Therefore, it is necessary to design a wide-speed-range axial permanent magnet motor rotor and a method for using the same. Summary of the Invention

Moreover, due to the unique structural characteristics of the surface-mounted axial motor, the air gap of the motor is relatively large and the magnetic field generation method is single, resulting in relatively poor performance of the axial motor in weak magnetic field control. The weak magnetic field performance of the motor has an important impact on the reliability and stability of the motor operation. The present invention provides a wide-speed-range axial permanent magnet motor rotor and its usage method, which realizes the function of fixing the permanent magnet body in an embedded manner, not only improves the D-axis inductance, but also realizes the design of a reverse salient pole ratio rotor, thereby improving the weak magnetic field control performance of the motor, avoiding damage to the permanent magnet body due to axial magnetic pull and radial centrifugal force, reducing the gap between the iron core body and the permanent magnet body compared with the surface-mounted permanent magnet installation method, improving the compactness of the rotor, and improving the product output accuracy.

A permanent magnet assembly 2 is arranged on the outer surface of the iron core assembly 1, and a pressing block assembly 3 is snap-connected between the outer side walls of the plurality of iron core assemblies 1, wherein the iron core assembly 1 and the pressing block assembly 3 are detachably connected by a compression screw 4; the iron core assembly 1 is used to support the permanent magnet assembly 2, the permanent magnet assembly 2 is used to fill the iron core assembly 1 and provide a constant magnetic field, the pressing block assembly 3 is used to limit the position of the permanent magnet assembly 2 and the iron core assembly 1 and cooperate with the plurality of iron core assemblies 1 to form a ring, and the compression screw 4 is used to detachably connect the iron core assembly 1 and the pressing block assembly 3. The present invention realizes the function of fixing the permanent magnet body 201 in an embedded manner, avoids the damage of the permanent magnet body 201 due to axial magnetic pulling force and radial centrifugal force, reduces the gap between the iron core body 101 and the permanent magnet body 201 compared with the surface-mounted permanent magnet installation method, improves the compactness of the rotor, and improves the product output precision.
[0020] Specifically, the iron core assembly 1 includes an iron core body 101. An iron core slot 102 is opened on the upper surface of the iron core body 101, and a first card slot 103 is opened on the outer wall of the opening end of the iron core slot 102; a sector-shaped threaded groove 104 is opened on the outer side wall of the iron core body 101. By moving the permanent magnet body 201 and aligning and inserting the inner side wall of the side slot 202 with the inner side wall of the iron core slot 102, and then sliding the permanent magnet body 201 and completely embedding the permanent magnet body 201 into the iron core body 101, a combined body of the iron core body 101 and the permanent magnet body 201 is formed, and then the first card slot 103 can be made flush with the second card slot 203.
[0021] Specifically, the permanent magnet assembly 2 includes a permanent magnet body 201. A side groove 202 is formed on the outer surface of the permanent magnet body 201, and a second card slot 203 is formed on the outer side wall of the permanent magnet body 201. The inner side wall of the side groove 202 is engaged with the inner side wall of the iron core groove 102. The first card slot 103 and the second card slot 203 have the same slot depth. The permanent magnet body 201 is made of silicon steel sheet. By fitting the assembled iron core body 101 and the permanent magnet body 201 together to form a circular ring, and then moving the pressing block body 301 and aligning the groove 302 with the first card slot 103 and the second card slot 203 and sliding it in, the pressing block body 301 can be detachably connected to the iron core body 101, and thus the iron core body 101 and the permanent magnet body 201 are limited in position relative to each other.
[0022] Specifically, the pressing block assembly 3 includes a pressing block body 301. A groove 302 is formed on the outer side wall of the pressing block body 301, and a semi-circular threaded groove 303 is formed on the outer bottom wall of the pressing block body 301. The inner side wall of the groove 302 is engaged with the inner side walls of the first card slot 103 and the second card slot 203. A pressing screw 4 is used for threaded connection between the sector-shaped threaded groove 104 and the semi-circular threaded groove 303. By screwing the pressing screw 4 along the semi-circular threaded groove 303 and the sector-shaped threaded groove 104, the pressing block body 301 can be detachably connected to the iron core body 101, and thus adjacent iron core bodies 101 can be detachably connected, and the assembly of the permanent magnet motor rotor is completed.
[0023] Specifically, the number of the first card slots 103 and the second card slots 203 is two each. The two first card slots 103 are symmetrically distributed on the outer side wall of the iron core body 101, and the two second card slots 203 are symmetrically distributed on the outer side wall of the permanent magnet body 201. The number of the first card slots 103 and the second card slots 203 enables the pressing block body 301 to limit the position between the iron core body 101 and the permanent magnet body 201.
[0024] Specifically, the number of the grooves 302 is two, and the two grooves 302 are symmetrically distributed on the outer side wall of the pressing block body 301. The pressing block body 301 is located at the middle position between two adjacent iron core bodies 101. The number of the grooves 302 being two enables the pressing block body 301 to connect two adjacent iron core bodies 101.
[0025] Specifically, the number of the iron core body 101, the permanent magnet body 201, the pressing block body 301, and the pressing screw 4 is the same, and a plurality of the iron core bodies 101, the permanent magnet bodies 201, the pressing block bodies 301, and the pressing screws 4 can form a ring, and the axial permanent magnet motor rotor has its designed function by forming a ring with a plurality of the iron core bodies 101, the permanent magnet bodies 201, the pressing block bodies 301, and the pressing screws 4.
[0026] A method for using a wide-speed-range axial permanent magnet motor rotor includes the following steps: Step 1, insertion: Move the permanent magnet body 201 and align and insert the inner side wall of the side groove 202 with the inner side wall of the iron core groove 102, then slide the permanent magnet body 201 and completely embed the permanent magnet body 201 into the iron core body 101 to form a combination of the iron core body 101 and the permanent magnet body 201, and further make the first card slot 103 flush with the second card slot 203, so that the present invention has the function of quickly inserting between the permanent magnet body 201 and the iron core body 101. Step 2, assembly: Make the assembled combination of the iron core body 101 and the permanent magnet body 201 fit together to form a ring shape, then move the pressing block body 301 and align and slide the groove 302 with the first card slot 103 and the second card slot 203 to enable snap connection between the pressing block body 301 and the iron core body 101, and further limit between the iron core body 101 and the permanent magnet body 201, so that the present invention has the function of quickly assembling between the pressing block body 301 and the iron core body 101. Step 3, threaded connection: Screw the pressing screw 4 along the semi-circular thread groove 303 and the sector thread groove 104 to enable detachable connection between the pressing block body 301 and the iron core body 101, and further enable detachable connection between adjacent iron core bodies 101, thus completing the assembly of the permanent magnet motor rotor, so that the present invention has the function of quickly assembling among the iron core body 101, the permanent magnet body 201, and the pressing block body 301.
[0027] To better illustrate the use effect of the present invention, a specific embodiment of using the present invention is introduced below.
[0028] As Figure 6As shown, the cross-axis and direct-axis flux paths of the axial magnetic field permanent magnet motor proposed by the present invention are presented. The dashed line indicates the direct-axis (d-axis) magnetic circuit, while the solid line part represents the cross-axis (q-axis) magnetic circuit. The main path of the d-axis flux is as follows: starting from the permanent magnet body 201, it circumferentially circulates on the iron core body 101 to the next magnetic pole, then passes through the air gap along the axial direction to reach the stator, and then passes through the stator and the air gap to reach the other magnetic pole in the axial direction. Finally, it returns to the original magnetic pole along the iron core body 101 in the opposite direction through the air gap and the stator, thus forming a loop. The q-axis magnetic circuit is similar to the d-axis magnetic circuit, but only circulates between a pair of magnetic poles in the axial direction and has a 90° electrical angle phase difference from the d-axis magnetic circuit.
[0029] As Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown respectively are the cross-axis magnetic vector and direct-axis magnetic vector distribution diagrams. The magnetic path is basically the same as the above description, and the saturation of the d-axis magnetic vector is higher than that of the q-axis magnetic vector.
[0030] As Figure 9 shown, are the cross-axis and direct-axis inductance variation curves. It can be seen from Figure 9 this that the direct-axis inductance is approximately 864 μH, and the cross-axis inductance is approximately 709 μH. The direct-axis inductance is significantly greater than the cross-axis inductance, about 20%. The motor has an inverse salient pole structure, and the field weakening range is significantly improved.
[0031] In summary, the present invention realizes the function of fixing the permanent magnet body 201 in an embedded manner, avoiding damage to the permanent magnet body 201 due to axial magnetic pulling force and radial centrifugal force. Compared with the surface-mounted permanent magnet installation method, it reduces the gap between the iron core body 101 and the permanent magnet body 201, improves the rotor compactness, improves the product output accuracy, and uses the pressing block assembly 3 and the pressing screw 4 to fix the permanent magnet body 201 on the iron core body 101, which not only improves the rotor strength but also reduces the probability of permanent magnet damage. Moreover, the rotor carbon fiber winding process is omitted, saving raw materials, which makes the rotor assembly process more convenient, increases the product yield and stability. By using silicon steel sheet material to make the permanent magnet body 201, it not only reduces the permanent magnet consumption and the eddy current loss, but also improves the product operation efficiency and reduces the energy consumption, and also improves the D-axis inductance of the axial magnetic field permanent magnet motor, solving the shortcoming of poor field weakening ability of the existing axial magnetic field permanent magnet motor and broadening the application field of the axial magnetic field permanent magnet motor.
