Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of motor technology, specifically to a high-performance motor rotor core. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry, drive motors, as core components, face higher performance requirements, especially in terms of high speed, high power density, and low noise and vibration. The rotor, as the component in the motor that bears the greatest centrifugal force, directly affects the motor's safe operation due to its mechanical strength. Under high-speed operating conditions, the rotor core is highly susceptible to severe centrifugal loads. If its structural design fails to adequately adapt to these conditions, fatigue cracks or even fractures are highly likely. Therefore, improving the strength and stability of the rotor core structure has become a key focus of the industry.
[0003] In existing technologies, high-strength lamination materials are often used to enhance structural performance. While effective, this often leads to increased costs and may affect the electromagnetic performance of the motor, thereby reducing power output and efficiency. In contrast, optimizing the lamination structure design to achieve stress dispersion and strength enhancement is a more economical and efficient solution. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-performance motor rotor core to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a high-performance motor rotor core, comprising multiple rotor laminations, wherein multiple magnetic slot groups are arranged circumferentially on the rotor laminations;

[0007] At least one pair of V-shaped magnet slots, the V-shaped magnet slots being formed on the rotor laminations;
[0008] A shaped magnetic steel slot is provided, with at least one pair of V-shaped magnetic steel slots being provided between them. The V-shaped magnetic steel slots and the shaped magnetic steel slots are centrally symmetrically distributed. A magnetic isolation bridge is formed on one side of the shaped magnetic steel slot facing the adjacent V-shaped magnetic steel slot. The shaped magnetic steel slot has a bottom edge in the direction of the center of the rotor lamination. The main radial center line of the magnetic isolation bridge is perpendicular to the bottom edge line of the shaped magnetic steel slot.
[0009] A stress-reducing structure is provided at both ends of the shaped magnetic steel groove in a centrally symmetrical manner. It can be connected to or separated from the magnetic steel groove and is used to reduce the stress concentration in the main radial direction at the magnetic isolation bridge.
[0010] Preferably, the stress reduction structure includes:
[0011] The main groove is located on one side of the bottom edge of the shaped magnetic steel groove;
[0012] A secondary groove is formed between the main groove and the shaped magnet groove, and is used to connect the main groove and the shaped magnet groove.
[0013] Preferably, the main groove has a protrusion facing the center line of the shaped magnetic steel groove.
[0014] Preferably, the secondary groove is disposed toward the side of the V-shaped magnet groove and is arranged symmetrically with respect to the side of the V-shaped magnet groove along the center line of the main radial magnetic bridge.
[0015] Preferably, a first boss is provided at the connection between the shaped magnetic steel groove and the secondary groove, and the width of the first boss is ≥0.5mm.
[0016] Preferably, the stress-reducing structure is an unloading groove, the edge contour of which is collinear or tangent to the extension lines of the two ends of the shaped magnetic groove.
[0017] Preferably, a second protrusion is provided at the intersection of the edge lines and the bottom line at both ends of the shaped magnetic steel groove.

[0019] Preferably, the distance between the ends of the V-shaped magnet groove and the island-shaped unloading groove closest to the center of the iron core along the center line of the V-shaped magnet groove is greater than or equal to zero.
[0020] Preferably, the distance between the extension lines formed by the two end edge lines of the shaped magnetic steel groove towards the center of the iron core and the center line of the shaped magnetic steel groove is smaller than the distance between its original edge line body and the center line.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0022] This high-performance motor rotor core, through the design of a stress-reducing structure with central symmetry, such as ear-shaped or island-shaped unloading slots, effectively guides and releases the principal radial stress in the magnetic bridge region, optimizes stress distribution, and avoids fatigue cracks caused by localized stress concentration, thereby significantly improving the fatigue life and structural safety margin of the magnetic bridge. The unloading structure composed of the main and auxiliary slots is not only compact and easy to manufacture, but also improves NVH performance, reduces electromagnetic harmonics, and enhances the smoothness and quietness of motor operation. Simultaneously, the overall magnet slot layout has been structurally optimized, achieving reasonable material reduction and a lightweight rotor core design. While ensuring electromagnetic performance, it improves power density and dynamic response capabilities, meeting the demands of high-performance, high-dynamic operating conditions in applications such as new energy vehicles.

[0033] Example 1
[0034] Please see Figure 1-2 As shown, the present invention provides a high-performance motor rotor core technical solution: a high-performance motor rotor core, comprising multiple rotor laminations 1, wherein multiple magnetic slot groups 2 are distributed along the circumference of the rotor laminations 1;
[0035] The magnet slot assembly 2 includes a shaped magnet slot 202, at least one pair of V-shaped magnet slots 201, and a stress reduction structure 204. The V-shaped magnet slots 201 are formed on the rotor lamination 1, and the shaped magnet slots 202 are formed between at least one pair of V-shaped magnet slots 201. The V-shaped magnet slots 201 and the shaped magnet slots 202 are centrally symmetrically distributed. The shaped magnet slots 202 form a magnetic isolation bridge 203 on one side facing the adjacent V-shaped magnet slots 201. The shaped magnet slots 202 have a bottom edge 2021 in the direction of the center of the rotor lamination 1. The main radial center line of the magnetic isolation bridge 203 is perpendicular to the bottom edge line 2021 of the shaped magnet slots 202. The stress reduction structure 204 is centrally symmetrically arranged at both ends of the shaped magnet slots 202. It can be connected to or separated from the magnet slot assembly 2 and is used to reduce the stress concentration in the main radial direction at the magnetic isolation bridge 203.
[0036] It should be noted that the aforementioned main radial centerline refers to the baseline that is perpendicular to the center position of the magnetic bridge 203 and parallel to the surface of the rotor lamination 1.
[0037] In this embodiment, the stress reduction structure 204 includes a main groove 2041 and a secondary groove 2042. The main groove 2041 is formed on one side of the bottom edge 2021 of the shaped magnetic steel groove 202. The secondary groove 2042 is formed between the main groove 2041 and the shaped magnetic steel groove 202 to connect the main groove 2041 and the shaped magnetic steel groove 202. The width a of the secondary groove 2042 is ≥0.7mm.
[0038] The main channel 2041 is provided with a protrusion 3 facing the center line of the shaped magnetic steel channel 202.
[0039] The secondary groove 2042 is arranged facing the side of the V-shaped magnetic groove 201 and is symmetrically arranged along the center line of the magnetic isolation bridge 203 in the main radial direction relative to the side of the V-shaped magnetic groove 201.
[0040] A first boss 4 is provided at the connection between the shaped magnetic steel groove 202 and the auxiliary groove 2042, and the width b of the first boss 4 is ≥ 0.5mm.
[0041] In this embodiment, the stress reduction structure 204 can be further designed in the shape of an ear.
[0042] When the rotor lamination 1 of the ear-shaped stress reduction structure 204 is stamped, for the one-shaped magnetic steel groove 202, two small punches can be used to punch out two small ears on both sides and one punch can be used to punch out the rest.
[0043] Through the above technical solution, the ear-shaped stress reduction structure 204 is set in a centrally symmetrical manner at both ends of the magnetic bridge 203. The unloading structure formed by its main groove 2041 and secondary groove 2042 can effectively guide and alleviate the main radial stress in the area of the magnetic bridge 203 during motor operation, making the stress distribution more uniform and avoiding fatigue cracks caused by local stress concentration.
[0044] Compared to existing technologies, such as Figure 5 Compared with the conventional slot structure shown, the present invention maintains the compactness of the magnetic steel slot structure, disperses structural stress, improves the fatigue life and structural safety margin of the magnetic bridge 203, and thus improves the power density and output torque of the motor.
[0045] In addition, the symmetrical design of the ear-shaped stress reduction structure 204 helps to make the electromagnetic field distribution more balanced, effectively reducing the electromagnetic harmonic content and improving the NVH performance (noise, vibration and acoustic roughness) during motor operation.
[0046] Structural optimization also enables reasonable reduction and lightweight design of core materials, thereby reducing the overall weight of the rotor core without sacrificing performance, improving the dynamic response capability of the motor, and meeting the application requirements of high performance and high dynamic conditions.
[0047] Example 2
[0048] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment is an improvement on embodiment 1. The difference is that the stress reduction structure 204 is an unloading groove 5, and its edge contour is collinear or tangent to the extension lines of the two ends of the shaped magnetic groove 202.
[0049] In this embodiment, the unloading slot 5 is shaped like an island.
[0050] A second protrusion 6 is provided at the intersection of the two end edges of the magnetic steel groove 202 and the bottom edge 2021.
[0051] The distance d between the island-shaped unloading groove 5 and the center line of the shaped magnetic steel groove 202 is greater than or equal to the distance c between the center line of the shaped magnetic steel groove 202 and the second boss 6 (d≥0.5c).
[0052] The distance between the ends of the V-shaped magnetic steel groove 201 and the island-shaped unloading groove 5 closest to the center of the iron core along the center line of the V-shaped magnetic steel groove 202 is greater than or equal to zero (e≥0).
[0053] The distance g between the extension lines formed by the two end edge lines of the shaped magnetic steel groove 202 towards the center of the iron core and the center line of the shaped magnetic steel groove 202 is less than the distance f between its original edge line body and the center line (g≤f).
[0054] The solutions and methods proposed in this invention are applicable to motor rotor laminations of any thickness, and to any rotor core, rotor core assembly, motor rotor, motor, and powertrain, vehicle, or equipment using the rotor laminations.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.
