Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of magnetic levitation motors, and in particular to a five-degree-of-freedom magnetic levitation motor structure and an integrated design method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Magnetic levitation technology enables high motor speeds, high power density, and low vibration and noise. A five-degree-of-freedom magnetic levitation motor refers to a motor system capable of active levitation control in five degrees of freedom. These five degrees of freedom include four radial degrees of freedom and one axial degree of freedom. Its advantages include: Frictionlessness: Since there is no mechanical contact between the rotor and stator, friction and wear are eliminated, improving system efficiency and lifespan. High precision: High-precision position and attitude control is achieved, making it suitable for applications requiring high-precision rotation. Low energy consumption: Compared to traditional mechanical bearings, magnetic bearings reduce energy loss, improving overall system efficiency. Long life: Due to reduced mechanical wear, the system's service life is significantly extended. Currently, five-degree-of-freedom magnetic levitation motors have been widely used in various technical fields, including aerospace, high-end equipment manufacturing, energy and power generation, and other key sectors. Existing technologies primarily use two radial magnetic bearings and one axial magnetic bearing to achieve five-degree-of-freedom levitation of the motor. However, the large size of the magnetic bearings hinders the improvement of critical speed and power density. Currently, bearingless motor technology, as an emerging technology, can place two sets of windings in one motor to provide torque and suspension force at the same time, but it can only provide two degrees of freedom suspension.
[0003] The invention patent with publication number CN115733323A provides a five-degree-of-freedom, ultra-high-speed, bearingless permanent magnet motor. The two ends of a cylindrical solid permanent magnet are connected to a rotating shaft. A housing is mounted on the outside of the cylindrical solid permanent magnet. A stator core is fixedly mounted on the housing. A set of torque windings is embedded in the bottom layer of the stator core, and two sets of suspension windings are embedded in the upper layer of the stator core. End caps are fixedly mounted on both sides of the housing. Auxiliary bearings are installed between the end caps and the rotating shaft. Passive permanent magnet bearings are embedded in both the end caps and the rotating shaft. However, its topological design of "two bearingless motors + one passive axial magnetic bearing" has technical drawbacks such as a large number of motors, a lack of active axial control, and a low level of integration.
[0004] Patent publication number CN111211709A discloses a thrust-disk-free five-degree-of-freedom (DOF) magnetic levitation motor. The motor comprises a rotating shaft, a two-DOF radial suspension assembly that generates radial levitation force and has a rotor core coaxially mounted with the rotating shaft, a one-DOF axial suspension assembly that generates axial levitation force and has a rotor core coaxially mounted with the rotating shaft, a two-DOF radial suspension bearingless motor assembly that generates radial levitation force and can drive the rotating shaft, and an external stator yoke that surrounds and supports the two-DOF radial suspension assembly, the one-DOF axial suspension assembly, and the two-DOF radial suspension bearingless motor assembly. The annular permanent magnets of the two-DOF radial suspension assembly and the one-DOF axial suspension assembly are radially magnetized in opposite directions, forming a permanent magnetic bias field. However, the motor's five-DOF levitation is achieved using a "bearingless motor + one radial magnetic bearing + one axial magnetic bearing" topology. However, the diverse and differentiated suspension support methods significantly increase the design and integration complexity of the magnetic levitation motor, hindering the application of magnetic levitation technology in high-speed rotating machinery. The motor structure also has technical defects such as the use of many magnetic bearing components, complex processes and low integration.

The electromagnetic, temperature, dynamic, and strength performance of the five-degree-of-freedom magnetic levitation motor are calculated separately and then iterated until the requirements are met, based on performance requirements. The electromagnetic and temperature field calculations are performed serially, while these calculations are performed in parallel with the dynamic and strength calculations.
[0018] The working principle of the five-degree-of-freedom magnetic levitation motor structure provided by the present invention is: The five-degree-of-freedom (DOF) magnetic levitation motor structure is primarily integrated with a bearingless permanent magnet motor and an axial-radial integrated magnetic bearing. The bearingless permanent magnet motor incorporates a suspension winding in addition to the traditional torque winding, generating two radial degrees of freedom (DOF) of levitation force through magnetic field modulation. The axial-radial integrated magnetic bearing utilizes a shared rotor and a cross-wound winding arrangement, combining the functions of both axial and radial magnetic bearings to provide levitation force with two radial degrees of freedom and one axial degree of freedom for the magnetic levitation motor structure. The bearingless permanent magnet motor and axial-radial integrated magnetic bearing work together to achieve five-DOF magnetic levitation. Furthermore, a displacement sensor measures displacement signals for levitation control of the magnetic levitation motor; a rotary transformer measures speed signals for rotation control; and a protective bearing protects the rotor of the magnetic levitation motor from direct contact with the stator in the event of a fall. Thus, the synergistic interaction of these components creates the integrated structure of a five-DOF magnetic levitation motor. The five-degree-of-freedom magnetic levitation motor structure adopts a bearingless permanent magnet motor and an axial-radial integrated magnetic bearing. Compared with the five-degree-of-freedom magnetic levitation motor in the existing technology, it reduces the number of suspension components and improves space utilization. It has the technical advantages of active five-degree-of-freedom control, small size and high integration.
[0019] Beneficial effects: The five-degree-of-freedom magnetic levitation motor structure provided by this invention utilizes a bearingless permanent magnet motor and an integrated axial-radial magnetic bearing. While achieving five-degree-of-freedom levitation, this design, through a shared rotor and staggered winding arrangement, reduces the number of magnetic bearing components and significantly reduces the motor's size. Compared to traditional magnetic levitation motors, this design boasts a high level of structural integration and a highly efficient design approach, significantly improving the motor's power density and design efficiency. It has broad application prospects in high-speed rotating machinery and other fields.
[0020] 2. The five-degree-of-freedom magnetic levitation motor structure provided by the present invention adopts a shared rotor and staggered winding arrangement process for the axial-radial integrated magnetic bearing, which shortens the axial length of the motor and improves the system integration; and through the inner and outer rotor structures of the magnetic bearing, the rotor eddy current loss at high speed can be reduced, thereby improving the working efficiency of the motor.
[0021] 3. The integrated design method of the five-degree-of-freedom magnetic levitation motor structure provided by the present invention adopts the distributed magnetic circuit method to model the axial and radial coupled magnetic circuits of the axial-radial integrated magnetic bearing, which is used to establish the relationship between the performance and parameters of the magnetic bearing, thereby significantly improving the design efficiency of the magnetic bearing.

[0034] In order to solve the technical problem in the prior art that the magnetic bearings are large in size and are not conducive to improving the critical speed and power density, the present invention provides a five-degree-of-freedom magnetic levitation motor structure and an integrated design method thereof. Starting from the topological structure and design method, a structure of a bearingless permanent magnet motor and an axial-radial integrated magnetic bearing is adopted. While realizing the five-degree-of-freedom suspension of the motor, the power density and design efficiency of the magnetic levitation motor are further improved through design methods such as a shared rotor and a cross-winding arrangement, which is of great significance for the promotion and application of magnetic levitation technology.
[0035] Example 1 Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a five-degree-of-freedom magnetic levitation motor structure 10, which is mainly composed of a rotating shaft 11, a protective bearing 12, a displacement sensor 13, a bearingless permanent magnet motor 14, a housing 15, an axial-radial integrated magnetic bearing 16, a rotary transformer 17 and other component structures.
[0036] The bearingless permanent magnet motor 14 generates a suspension force with two radial degrees of freedom and can drive the rotating shaft 11 to rotate. The axial-radial integrated magnetic bearing 16 has the functions of both radial and axial magnetic bearings, generating a suspension force with two radial degrees of freedom and one axial degree of freedom, a total of three degrees of freedom; The bearingless permanent magnet motor 14 and the axial-radial integrated magnetic bearing 16 are respectively installed around the outer periphery of both sides of the rotating shaft 11 and are coaxially assembled with the rotating shaft 11; the bearingless permanent magnet motor 14 and the axial-radial integrated magnetic bearing 16 cooperate with each other to jointly realize five-degree-of-freedom magnetic suspension.
[0037] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the bearingless permanent magnet motor 14 mainly includes a stator core 141, a torque winding 142, a suspension winding 143, permanent magnets 144, and a rotor 145. The torque winding 142 and suspension winding 143 are embedded in the upper and lower layers of the motor slots, respectively.
[0038] The difference in pole pairs between the torque winding 142 and the suspension winding 143 is 1. The magnetic field generated by the suspension winding 143 modulates the motor's existing balanced magnetic field, applying radial force to the motor rotor 145 and achieving self-levitation. Thus, the bearingless permanent magnet motor 14 provides two radial degrees of freedom of levitation for the five-degree-of-freedom magnetic suspension motor structure 10.
[0039] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the axial-radial integrated magnetic bearing 16 mainly includes a left axial magnetic bearing stator core 161, a radial magnetic bearing stator core 162, an axial magnetic bearing stator winding 163 and a radial magnetic bearing stator winding 164, a magnetic bearing rotor 165, a right axial magnetic bearing stator core 166 and other component structures.
[0040] The axial magnetic bearing stator winding 163 and the radial magnetic bearing stator winding 164 are arranged alternately in the radial direction, with upper and lower layers respectively.
[0041] In some specific embodiments, the magnetic bearing rotor 165 is fixed to the rotating shaft 11 by shrink fitting, and the radial magnetic bearing stator core 162 is shrink fitted onto the right axial magnetic bearing stator core 166 by interference fit, and then the left axial magnetic bearing stator core 161 and the right axial magnetic bearing stator core 166 are assembled by bolts.
[0042] In the axial-radial integrated magnetic bearing 16, the radial magnetic bearing stator core 162 shares a magnetic bearing rotor 165 with the left axial magnetic bearing stator core 161 and the right axial magnetic bearing stator core 166, so that it has the functions of both radial magnetic bearing and axial magnetic bearing, providing three degrees of freedom of suspension force, two radial degrees of freedom and one axial degree of freedom, for the five-degree-of-freedom magnetic levitation motor structure 10.
[0043] The magnetic bearing rotor 165 is fixed on the rotating shaft 11 and includes a magnetic bearing inner rotor 1651 and a magnetic bearing outer rotor 1652 that are interference fit with each other.
[0044] In some embodiments, the radial magnetic bearing stator core 162 adopts one of the 8-pole, 12-pole, and 16-pole types, and adopts high-magnetic-permeability, low-loss silicon steel sheet materials; the left axial magnetic bearing stator core 161 and the right axial magnetic bearing stator core 166 adopt a U-shaped structure or an E-shaped structure, and adopt high-magnetic-permeability solid steel materials; the magnetic bearing rotor 165 adopts high-magnetic-permeability, low-loss silicon steel sheets or high-magnetic-permeability solid steel materials.
[0045] See also Figure 1 As shown, the displacement sensors 13 are respectively arranged at both ends and the axial position of the motor to measure the displacement of the rotating shaft 11 in different directions for suspension control of the five-degree-of-freedom magnetic suspension motor structure 10.
[0046] The rotary transformer 17 is arranged at the non-extended end position of the motor to measure the rotation speed of the motor and is used for rotation control of the five-degree-of-freedom magnetic levitation motor structure 10.
[0047] The protective bearings 12 are respectively provided on both sides of the motor to protect the rotor when it falls.
[0048] The integrated five-DOF magnetic levitation motor structure 10 provided in Example 1 has an overall volume at least 20% smaller than that of a conventional magnetic levitation motor, resulting in a very high level of integration. Compared to conventional magnetic levitation motors, this motor features fewer suspended components and higher space utilization, indicating higher integration and power density, resulting in improved performance. Power density is inversely proportional to volume and speed.
[0049] Example 2 See also Figure 4 As shown, embodiment 2 of the present invention provides an integrated design method 20 for the above-mentioned five-degree-of-freedom magnetic levitation motor structure, which mainly includes three design steps: a design method 21 for a bearingless permanent magnet motor, a design method 22 for an axial-radial integrated magnetic bearing, and a design verification method (multidisciplinary verification method) 23.
