Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of motor rotor technology, specifically to a rotor lamination and magnet structure for a motor. Background Technology
[0002] Rotor laminations and magnets for motors are the core components of the rotor of a permanent magnet synchronous motor. The two work together to achieve efficient energy conversion. The rotor laminations are thin metal sheets made of high magnetic permeability materials (such as silicon steel sheets) and constitute the main structure of the rotor core.
[0003] The announcement number CN215772701U discloses a rotor lamination structure, an electronic rotor, and a motor. Each magnet slot has a magnetic isolation bridge at both ends. The magnetic isolation bridge is a quadrilateral groove. The lamination body is circular, and a rotor shaft hole is provided in the middle of the lamination body. Each magnet slot is formed by two rectangular slots. The long side of each magnetic isolation bridge is set at a first angle with the long side of the rectangular slot connecting the magnetic isolation bridge. By designing a magnetic isolation bridge of a certain size on the rotor lamination, the leakage magnetic effect of the motor during operation can be greatly improved. At the same time, this lamination pattern can achieve the effect of magnetic circuit magnetic bundle sorting, so that the magnetic circuit can be better aligned with the armature direction to improve the magnetic circuit direction.
