Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electric machines, in particular to an integrated electric machine and an assembling method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The magnetic flux of an axial flux electric machine is distributed and closed along the direction of the machine axis, and the stator and rotor are usually arranged oppositely in a planar disc structure. The magnetic force lines pass through the gap between the stator and the rotor in the axial direction, so that the overall structure is flat and compact. This not only shortens the magnetic flux path and improves the utilization rate of the magnetic field, but also makes the electric machine have high power density and torque density, and can output higher torque in the same volume. It is especially suitable for application scenarios with strict requirements on space and weight, such as electric vehicle hub drives and robot joints.

[0003] The disc-type electric machine usually uses a composite material as a support for the rotor structure, and the heat conduction performance of the composite material is generally poor. The heat generated by the rotor under high-speed operation or heavy load conditions is difficult to dissipate in time, and heat accumulation is easily formed inside the electric machine. High temperature can easily cause the magnetic steel to demagnetize. Once the magnetic steel demagnetizes, the magnetic field strength of the electric machine will weaken, the output torque will decrease, and even the control system will have errors. In severe cases, it will affect the running stability and safety of the entire system.

[0004] In the prior art, a heat dissipation fan is usually arranged at one end of the shaft of the disc-type electric machine to actively dissipate heat. However, the heat dissipation requirements of the disc-type electric machine are different under different working modes. When the speed of the electric machine is high and the temperature is high, and the size of the air guide opening is small, the fan has high output air volume and high air pressure, which can easily cause congestion in the air outlet channel, increase the ventilation resistance, limit the airflow velocity, and weaken the heat dissipation efficiency. When the speed of the electric machine is low and the temperature of the electric machine is low, and the size of the air guide opening is large, the fan has low output air volume and low air pressure, the airflow cannot be effectively guided, the air speed is slow, and the heat is not easily dissipated, resulting in low heat dissipation efficiency.

[0005] In summary, the air guide opening of the existing electric machine air cooling system is usually of a fixed structure, and it is necessary to provide an air duct structure that can automatically adjust according to the speed to improve the overall performance. SUMMARY

[0006] The present application aims to provide an integrated electric machine and an assembling method thereof to solve the technical problem that the air guide opening of the existing electric machine cooling system is usually of a fixed structure and cannot effectively dissipate heat according to different working modes of the electric machine, resulting in low heat dissipation efficiency of the electric machine.

[0040] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0042] The integrated motor provided in this embodiment is applied to scenarios where energy saving and high efficiency are achieved through adjustable speed technology in air conditioners, electric vehicles, and power tools. In this embodiment, by improving the structure of the integrated motor, when the motor speed is high and the temperature is high, the opening area of ​​the air duct driven by the adjustment component is expanded, which effectively reduces the resistance of the heat dissipation airflow and reduces the kinetic energy loss of the airflow. When the speed is low and the motor temperature is low, the opening area of ​​the air duct driven by the adjustment component is reduced, which guides the airflow to concentrate and be discharged from the air duct, thereby improving the guidance and utilization efficiency of the heat dissipation airflow.

[0043] Please see Figures 1-7 The integrated motor provided in this embodiment includes a disc motor assembly 10, a fan 20, and an adjustment assembly 30. The disc motor assembly 10 includes a base 110, a stator assembly 120, a rotor assembly 130, a rotating shaft 140, and a bearing 150. The stator assembly 120 is mounted on the base 110, and the rotor assembly 130 is coaxially arranged with the rotating shaft 140. The rotating shaft 140 is rotatably mounted on the base 110 through the bearing 150. The base 110 has multiple air ducts 111 along the circumferential direction. The fan 20 is mounted on the base 110 away from the stator. On one side of the sub-component 120, the fan 20 is coaxially connected to the rotating shaft 140 and rotates with the rotating shaft 140. The fan 20 has an air guide chamber 210 inside, which is connected to the air duct 111. The adjustment component 30 is disposed on the air duct 111. The adjustment component 30 is used to adjust the opening area of ​​the air duct 111 according to the temperature change. When the temperature around the motor rises, the adjustment component 30 drives the opening area of ​​the air duct 111 to expand, and when the temperature around the motor decreases, the adjustment component 30 drives the opening area of ​​the air duct 111 to shrink.

[0044] Specifically, the disc motor assembly 10 adopts an axial flux structure, in which the magnetic flux direction between the stator and rotor is distributed axially along the shaft 140, thereby achieving a thinner structural design and a shorter heat conduction path. Compared with traditional radial flux motors, this structure has higher power density and thermal efficiency per unit volume, making it suitable for space-constrained but heat-intensive industrial drives or precision control applications. The disc motor assembly 10 includes a base 110, a stator assembly 120, a rotor assembly 130, a shaft 140, and bearings 150. The stator assembly 120 is fixedly installed inside the base 110, and the rotor assembly 130 is coaxially fixed with the shaft 140. The shaft 140 is rotatably supported on the base 110 via bearings 150. Bearings 150 can be conventional deep groove ball bearings, angular contact ball bearings, or magnetic levitation bearings, depending on the load requirements and speed rating. The types of bearings 150 mentioned above are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0045] To improve the cooling effect of the motor during operation, the base 110 is provided with multiple air ducts 111 along its outer periphery. The air ducts 111 are ventilation structures located on the outer wall of the base 110, used to guide the airflow generated by the fan 20 along a preset path, thereby enhancing the overall heat dissipation capacity of the motor. The fan 20 is installed on the side of the base 110 away from the stator assembly 120, i.e., the back of the motor, coaxially connected to the shaft 140 and rotating synchronously with the shaft 140. An air guide chamber 210 is formed inside the fan 20. The air guide chamber 210 is a cavity structure that guides the concentrated airflow through a pressure difference generated by the fan 20 impeller. The air guide chamber 210 communicates with the multiple air ducts 111 on the base 110, enabling the fan 20 to rotate and achieve directional cooling of the motor's interior and casing.

[0046] In practical use, when the motor speed is high and the temperature is high, the fan 20 rotates at a high speed, outputs a large air volume and high air pressure, and the regulating component 30 drives the opening area of ​​the air duct 111 to expand, so that the airflow flows smoothly from the air guide chamber 210 to the heat dissipation channel, effectively reducing wind resistance, avoiding airflow accumulation caused by channel congestion, reducing airflow kinetic energy loss, and improving heat dissipation flux and heat exchange efficiency. When the speed is slow and the motor temperature is low, the fan 20 outputs a small air volume and low air pressure, and the regulating component 30 drives the opening area of ​​the air duct 111 to shrink, guiding the airflow to concentrate and be discharged from the air duct 111, improving the guidance and utilization efficiency of the heat dissipation airflow, and ensuring the cooling effect of the motor under low air volume conditions.

[0047] Furthermore, the air duct 111 includes a first side plate 112 and a second side plate 113, which are arranged along a first direction, wherein the first direction is parallel to the axis of the rotating shaft 140. The adjustment assembly 30 includes an air guide plate 310 and a rotating part 320, which is disposed on the second side plate 113. The air guide plate 310 is rotatably mounted on the rotating part 320, and a heat dissipation air duct 40 is formed between the air guide plate 310 and the first side plate 112. Specifically, the air duct 111 includes a first side plate 112 and a second side plate 113, both of which extend along a first direction, which is parallel to the axis of the rotating shaft 140. The adjustment component 30 is disposed on the air duct 111 and is used to adjust the actual ventilation opening size, i.e., the size of the heat dissipation air duct 40, according to the working mode of the motor. The rotating part 320 is disposed on the second side plate 113 and is a mechanism for connecting the air guide plate 310. The air guide plate 310 is rotatably mounted on the rotating part 320, and its free end can swing around the rotating part 320 to adjust the distance between the air guide plate 310 and the first side plate 112, thereby changing the opening size of the heat dissipation air duct 40 formed in the air duct 111.

[0048] When the motor speed is high and the temperature is high, the fan 20 outputs a large air volume and high air pressure. The rotating part 320 drives the air guide plate 310 away from the first side plate 112, increasing the flow area of ​​the heat dissipation air passage 40, reducing airflow resistance, and improving the overall heat exchange efficiency. When the speed is slow and the motor temperature is low, the fan 20 outputs a small air volume and low air pressure. The rotating part 320 drives the air guide plate 310 closer to the first side plate 112, causing the opening of the air passage 111 to contract. This helps to concentrate the limited airflow, enhance the guidance and utilization of the heat dissipation channel, and thus ensure good heat dissipation effect at low wind speeds.

[0049] Furthermore, the rotating part 320 includes a fixed plate 321 and a steering component 322. The fixed plate 321 is disposed within the air duct 111, and the steering component 322 includes a steering rod 51 and a driving component 52. The air guide plate 310 is provided with a through hole 311 and is rotatably mounted to the steering rod 51 through the through hole 311. The driving component 52 is disposed on the second side plate 113 and is used to drive the air guide plate 310 to slide along the upper end face of the fixed plate 321 according to the ambient temperature of the motor. Specifically, the rotating part 320 includes a fixed plate 321 and a steering component 322. The fixed plate 321 is disposed inside the air duct 111 and serves as a support and sliding reference surface. Its material can be high-strength engineering plastic or high-temperature resistant metal material to ensure good structural stability and dimensional accuracy under long-term airflow scouring or temperature fluctuation conditions.

[0050] The steering component 322 includes a steering rod 51 and a driving component 52. The steering rod 51 is a transmission rod connecting the air guide plate 310 and the driving mechanism. One end of the steering rod passes through the through hole 311 on the air guide plate 310 and is rotatably connected to the air guide plate 310, so that the air guide plate 310 can swing or slide slightly around the axis of the through hole 311. The air guide plate 310 is a movable baffle provided at the opening of the air duct 111. The air guide plate 310 can be made of aluminum alloy, ABS engineering plastic or composite fiber material, and has the characteristics of light weight, high strength and fast response. The driving component 52 is provided on the second side plate 113 of the air duct 111 structure and is used to apply driving force to the steering rod 51 according to the temperature change during motor operation, driving the air guide plate 310 to slide on the upper end surface of the fixed plate 321.

[0051] Furthermore, the driving component 52 is configured as a thermosensitive shape memory alloy, with one end fixed to the second side plate 113 and the other end fixed to the air guide plate 310. Specifically, the driving component 52 is made of thermosensitive shape memory alloy wire. This material undergoes a phase change and contracts when the motor operating temperature rises, thereby driving the steering rod 51 to pull the air guide plate 310 to slide closer to the second side plate 113, increasing the opening area of ​​the air duct 111. When the temperature drops, the alloy material returns to its original shape, and the air guide plate 310 slides closer to the first side plate 112, decreasing the opening area of ​​the air duct 111. The above adjustment process does not require external control signals and relies entirely on the material's own temperature response characteristics, possessing advantages such as simple structure and sensitive response.

[0052] Furthermore, the fixed plate 321 is provided with an arc-shaped limiting groove 323, and the end of the air guide plate 310 near the steering rod 51 is provided with a limiting rod 312, which is slidably installed in the limiting groove 323. Specifically, the air guide plate 310 is provided with a limiting rod 312, which slides in cooperation with the arc-shaped limiting groove 323 on the fixed plate 321. The limiting rod 312 can be in the form of a roller, slider, sliding pin, etc., so that the air guide plate 310 is subject to trajectory control during rotation, limiting the maximum opening angle or minimum closing angle of the air guide plate 310, and ensuring the stable operation of the air guide plate 310 under various airflow conditions. In practical use, when the motor speed is high and the temperature is high, the steering component 322 causes the limiting rod 312 to slide along the arc-shaped limiting groove 323, thereby moving the air guide plate 310 away from the first side plate 112, thus expanding the heat dissipation air passage 40, reducing wind resistance, and improving airflow capacity; when the speed is slow and the motor temperature is low, the air guide plate 310 rotates towards the position closer to the first side plate 112 under the action of the steering component 322, and the limiting rod 312 moves to the other end of the limiting groove 323, narrowing the heat dissipation air passage 40, which helps to concentrate and guide low airflow and avoid airflow dispersion.

[0053] Furthermore, the limiting groove 323 is provided with a first groove wall 61, a second groove wall 62, a first limiting end 63, and a second limiting end 64. The first groove wall 61 and the second groove wall 62 are both smooth arc surfaces. The first limiting end 63 and the second limiting end 64 are respectively located at the two ends of the limiting groove 323. The distance between the first groove wall 61 and the second groove wall 62 at the first limiting end 63 is greater than the distance between the first groove wall 61 and the second groove wall 62 at the second limiting end 64. The limiting rod 312 slides along the first groove wall 61 and the second groove wall 62. Specifically, when the limiting rod 312 moves to the first limiting end 63, the distance between the air guide plate 310 and the first side plate 112 is the closest, and the air guide plate 310 is located at the minimum opening position; when the limiting rod 312 moves to the second limiting end 64, the distance between the air guide plate 310 and the first side plate 112 is the farthest, and the air guide plate 310 is located at the maximum opening position.

[0054] The distance between the first groove wall 61 and the second groove wall 62 at the first limiting end 63 is greater than the distance between them at the second limiting end 64. This allows the limiting rod 312 to have a larger sliding space and less sliding friction when moving towards the first limiting end 63 in the limiting groove 323, thus achieving a faster response and meeting the airflow guidance accuracy requirements during low-speed operation. When the limiting rod 312 slides towards the second limiting end 64, the distance between the groove walls gradually narrows, making the limiting rod 312 more tightly restricted and its movement more stable. This allows for the slow adjustment and position maintenance of the air outlet opening by the air guide plate 310, meeting the increased air pressure requirements caused by the high-speed operation of the fan 20. Through the spatial structure differences in different areas within the limiting groove 323, the limiting rod 312 achieves different movement speeds and stability controls in different adjustment directions, making the airflow adjustment in the duct 111 more in line with the response requirements of the motor under different operating modes.

[0055] Furthermore, both the first groove wall 61 and the second groove wall 62 are horizontally recessed with slide rails 71, and ball bearings 72 are disposed inside the slide rails 71. The outer circumferential surface of the limiting rod 312 abuts against the ball bearings 72. Specifically, during the rotation of the air guide plate 310, the limiting rod 312 moves along a set arc path within the limiting groove 323. Due to the rolling action of the ball bearings 72, the movement of the limiting rod 312 is smooth with low resistance.

[0056] Furthermore, the air guide plate 310 includes a first guide plate 313, a second guide plate 314, and a third guide plate 315. Viewed from a second direction, the width of the third guide plate 315 is greater than the width of the first guide plate 313. The second direction is perpendicular to and passes through the axis of the rotating shaft 140. The second guide plate 314 is an arc-shaped plate that smoothly connects the first guide plate 313 and the third guide plate 315. Specifically, the second direction is perpendicular to the extension direction of the heat dissipation duct 40 and points towards and passes through the axis of the rotating shaft 140. Viewed from the second direction, the width of the third guide plate 315 is greater than the width of the first guide plate 313, forming a fan-shaped structure with an expanding trend. The second guide plate 314 is an arc transition plate connecting the first guide plate 313 and the third guide plate 315. It is used to form a continuous and smooth curved surface connection between the two guide plates of different widths, thereby eliminating the abrupt angle change between the structures. It plays a role in gathering and integrating the turbulent airflow generated in the air guide chamber 210, avoiding the formation of severe separation and vortices in the airflow at the plate connection, and ensuring the continuity and guiding stability of the airflow streamline.

[0057] The first guide plate 313 is located near the end of the air duct 111 with a smaller opening, and plays a role in initially guiding the airflow. The third guide plate 315 allows the high-pressure airflow flowing out of the air guide chamber 210 to be fully concentrated and integrated in this area. Under the arc transition guidance of the second guide plate 314, it smoothly transitions to the third guide plate 315, thereby improving the overall airflow introduction capacity of the air guide plate 310. The first guide plate 313, the second guide plate 314, and the third guide plate 315 can adopt an integral injection molding structure or be formed by splicing multiple sections. The materials can be lightweight aluminum alloy, engineering plastics, or composite materials, and can be flexibly configured according to the heat dissipation intensity and the use environment. This is well known in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0058] Furthermore, the third guide plate 315 is a rectangular plate. When the limiting rod 312 is located at the second limiting end 64, the third guide plate 315 is parallel to the first side plate 112. Specifically, the third guide plate 315 is a rectangular plate used to form a uniformly spaced airflow guiding area with the first side plate 112 during the adjustment process. When the limiting rod 312 moves to the second limiting end 64 of the limiting groove 323, the air guide plate 310 is in the maximum opening angle state. At this time, the third guide plate 315 is away from the first side plate 112, and its end face near the first side plate 112 is arranged parallel to the first side plate 112, forming a wide airflow guiding channel, reducing wind resistance, avoiding local airflow blockage, and ensuring that a large air volume can pass through the air duct 111 quickly and with low loss when the fan 20 is running at high speed, effectively enhancing the motor heat dissipation capacity under high load conditions; improving the stability of the wall-mounted flow, reducing air backflow, swirling and other phenomena, and improving the overall aerodynamic performance of the air duct 111.

[0059] In one embodiment, the base is made of aluminum alloy or composite material to improve heat dissipation and reduce the overall weight. Aluminum alloy not only has good mechanical strength and corrosion resistance, but also excellent thermal conductivity, enabling it to quickly conduct the heat generated during motor operation to the outside air, thereby improving heat dissipation efficiency. In another embodiment, the base can also be made of lightweight composite material to further reduce the overall weight, facilitating the use of the motor in scenarios with high lightweight requirements, such as new energy vehicles. By using a base made of aluminum alloy or composite material, the overall heat dissipation performance of the motor can be improved and its weight reduced while ensuring structural strength.

[0060] In one embodiment, the fan blades are curved or sickle-shaped to increase airflow and reduce airflow noise. The curved blade design allows for a more stable airflow channel during rotation, accelerating the airflow along a smooth curve into the duct, thereby increasing airflow and reducing turbulence, thus lowering noise. In another embodiment, the fan blades can also be designed as sickle-shaped, with the blade tips swept forward at a certain angle relative to the direction of rotation. This structure effectively improves airflow distribution at the blade tips, reduces eddies and noise generation, and further enhances air delivery efficiency.

[0061] In one embodiment, the regulating component is electrically connected to a temperature sensor used to monitor the motor winding temperature or ambient temperature. When the motor is operating under high load or high temperature conditions, the temperature sensor can quickly capture the temperature rise signal and feed it back to the control circuit.

[0062] In one embodiment, the temperature sensor is electrically connected to the alarm module. When the motor winding temperature or ambient temperature exceeds a preset value, the alarm module outputs an audible and visual alarm signal. When the motor winding temperature or ambient temperature exceeds a preset safety value, the alarm module can immediately output an audible and visual alarm signal to alert the operator that the motor is in an abnormal operating condition. This setting can provide timely warnings to users before the motor is damaged due to overheating, thereby improving the safety and reliability of motor operation.

[0063] An assembly method for assembling an integrated motor as described above includes the following steps:

[0064] Step S1: Prepare the base 110, stator assembly 120, rotor assembly 130, shaft 140, bearing 150, fan 20 and adjustment assembly 30 of the disc motor assembly 10; install the bearing 150 in the corresponding bearing hole of the base 110, and install the shaft 140 through the bearing 150 so that the shaft 140 can rotate relative to the base 110;

[0065] Step S2: Fix the stator assembly 120 on the base 110, ensure that its winding is correctly positioned, and lead out the cable or lead-out end through the reserved through hole 311. Coaxially mount the rotor assembly 130 on the rotating shaft 140, and maintain a reasonable air gap between it and the stator assembly 120 to ensure that the rotation does not interfere.

[0066] Step S3: Install the fan 20 on the side of the base 110 away from the stator assembly 120, so that the fan 20 is coaxially connected with the rotating shaft 140 and rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft 140. During the installation process, the fan 20 and the rotating shaft 140 are firmly connected by fasteners, keyways or interference fits to ensure stable rotation.

[0067] Step S4: Install the adjustment component 30 on the air duct 111 and rotatably connect it to the air duct 111 so that the adjustment component 30 can adjust the opening area of ​​the air duct 111 according to the temperature change around the motor.

[0068] In summary, the integrated motor provided in this embodiment has the function of automatically adjusting the size of the air duct 111 opening according to the motor's working mode, thus ensuring the heat dissipation efficiency of the fan 20 on the motor.
