Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of submersible motors, in particular to a rotor structure of a submersible permanent magnet synchronous motor. Background Art
[0002] As a core component of artificial lift systems in oil production, submersible permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs) efficiently convert electrical energy directly into mechanical energy, driving pumpjacks to lift fluids to the surface. They are widely used in deep and ultra-deep well operations. Compared to traditional asynchronous motors, PMSMs offer higher power factor, improved efficiency, and a smaller footprint, making them particularly suitable for confined spaces and long deployments underground. By utilizing rare earth permanent magnet materials, they maintain stable output at high torque and low speed, minimizing energy loss and lowering the power demand on surface drive equipment, significantly improving oilfield recovery and reducing energy consumption. Their high power density and compact structure reduce the number of motors in series, simplifying system installation, and reducing non-productive time and operating costs, providing key technical support for the development of mature and unconventional oil and gas resources. Recent advances in multiphysics simulation technology and nanoscale permanent magnet materials have significantly optimized thermal management and electromagnetic design, laying the theoretical and engineering foundation for reliable operation in deeper wells and higher temperature environments.
[0003] However, in the high-temperature environment underground, there is a risk of irreversible demagnetization of rare earth magnets, resulting in a decrease in motor power and unstable operation. Because the underground medium is mostly hydrogen sulfide and high-salinity fluid, traditional steel drive shafts are prone to corrosion and rust, which not only increases bearing wear but may also shorten the overall life due to rust particles interfering with dynamic balance. The limited space underground places strict restrictions on the outer diameter of the motor, making heat dissipation more difficult. If the heat cannot be released in time, it will lead to accelerated aging of the insulation material and an increased risk of thermal failure of the system. In addition, during the assembly of the multi-segment rotor, due to positioning errors between components, rotor alignment is difficult, which may cause mechanical vibration and additional wear, affecting the long-term stable operation of the motor. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a submersible permanent magnet synchronous motor rotor structure to solve the risk of irreversible demagnetization of rare earth magnets in the high-temperature environment underground, which is raised in the above-mentioned background technology, leading to a decrease in motor power and unstable operation. Since the underground medium is mostly hydrogen sulfide-containing and high-salinity fluids, traditional steel drive shafts are prone to corrosion and rust, which not only increases bearing wear, but also may shorten the overall life due to rust particles interfering with dynamic balance.

[0023] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0024] See also Figure 1-4 An embodiment of the present invention provides: a submersible permanent magnet synchronous motor rotor structure, including a main body 1, a cover plate 2, a power mechanism 3 and a connecting mechanism 4, characterized in that: the top of the main body 1 is threadedly connected to the cover plate 2, the power mechanism 3 is installed inside the main body 1, and connecting mechanisms 4 are provided at both ends of the power mechanism 3, and the connecting mechanism 4 protrudes from the main body 1 and the cover plate 2.
[0025] Specifically, the main body 1 is a hollow cylindrical structure, a thread is provided on one side of the inside of the main body 1, an opening is provided at the bottom of the main body 1, the inner thread of one end of the main body 1 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 2, an opening is provided at the axis center of the cover plate 2, and the top end of the cover plate 2 is fixedly connected to a regular hexagonal fastening nut.
[0026] Specifically, the power mechanism 3 includes a partition plate 301, a permanent magnet 302 and a transmission shaft 303. The partition plate 301 is welded inside the main body 1, and the permanent magnet 302 is clamped in the wider compartment of the partition plate 301. The partition plate 301 is used to fix the position of the permanent magnet 302 and the transmission shaft 303, which can make the overall rotor more stable and facilitate the disassembly and replacement of parts.
[0027] Specifically, the permanent magnet 302 is arc-shaped, and the long arc end of the permanent magnet 302 is close to the inner side of the main body 1. The permanent magnet 302 is set in four groups and is evenly arranged. The height of the permanent magnet 302 is consistent with the distance from the inner bottom of the main body 1 to the bottom end of the cover plate 2. The permanent magnet 302 is made of samarium cobalt. The permanent magnet 302 made of samarium cobalt has excellent temperature stability and corrosion resistance, and the magnetic properties are stable and reliable. It is especially suitable for use in high-temperature and harsh environment oil wells, and can enhance the stability of the device during use.
[0028] Specifically, eight groups of partition plates 301 are provided, and each two groups of partition plates 301 are clamped with one group of permanent magnets 302 . The height of the partition plates 301 matches that of the permanent magnets 302 .
[0029] Specifically, the protrusion of the transmission shaft 303 is clamped in the narrow compartment of the partition plate 301 , and both sides of the protrusion of the transmission shaft 303 are tightly fitted with the surface of the partition plate 301 .
[0030] Specifically, the height of the drive shaft 303 matches the permanent magnet 302. The drive shaft 303 is made of titanium alloy. The titanium alloy drive shaft 303 can adapt to high temperature, high pressure and highly corrosive environments, and has excellent performance in oil production. While ensuring strength, the volume of the drive shaft 303 is significantly reduced, so that the outer diameter of the rotor can be reduced to adapt to the narrow space underground.
[0031] Specifically, the connecting mechanism 4 includes a spline sleeve 401 and a spline sleeve rod 402. The spline sleeve 401 is fixedly connected to the top end of the transmission shaft 303. The spline sleeve rod 402 is welded to the bottom end of the transmission shaft 303. The outer surface of the spline sleeve rod 402 matches the inner surface shape of the spline sleeve 401.

At the same time, the spline meshing area is large, making the connection more reliable.
[0032] Specifically, the spline sleeve 401 passes through the opening of the cover plate 2 and protrudes from the cover plate 2. The spline sleeve rod 402 passes through the opening at the bottom of the main body 1 and protrudes from the main body 1 for easy docking.
[0033] Working principle: First, the spline sleeve 402 and the spline sleeve 401 can connect the rotors of adjacent motors to adapt to the thermal expansion and contraction of the shaft caused by temperature changes underground. At the same time, the spline engagement area is large, making the connection more reliable. The spline sleeve 401 and the spline sleeve 402 with their bottom ends narrowing inward no longer need to manually align the drive shaft 303 when connecting the rotors of different motors. When in use, the permanent magnet 302 made of samarium cobalt has excellent temperature stability and corrosion resistance, and its magnetic properties are stable and reliable. It is especially suitable for use in high-temperature and harsh environments in oil wells. At the same time, the titanium alloy drive shaft 303 can adapt to high temperature, high pressure and highly corrosive environments, and has outstanding performance in oil production work. While ensuring strength, the volume of the drive shaft 303 is significantly reduced, so that the outer diameter of the rotor can be reduced to adapt to the narrow space underground.
