[0047] In the present embodiment, the compressor body comprises a shell 1, a stator 2, a rotor 3, and a centrifugal impeller 4. The structure of the die-casting machine body is arranged in axial symmetry in the axial direction thereof.

[0048] The shell 1 is in a cylindrical shape. The shell has two opposite ends in the axial direction thereof. The shell 1 is respectively provided with an end plate 11 at the two opposite ends, so that the inner cavity of the shell is in a sealed state. The end plate 11 is provided with a shaft hole. The shaft hole is coaxially arranged with the shell.

[0049] The stator 2 is fixedly arranged in the casing 1. The stator is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the casing. The stator is located at the middle position of the casing.

[0050] The rotor 3 is rotatably arranged in the stator 2, and the rotor is coaxially arranged with the stator. The rotor shaft 31 at both ends of the rotor 3 is rotatably arranged in the shaft hole of the end plate.

[0051] The rotor shaft 31 at both ends of the rotor 3 extends to the outside of the end plate 11. The rotor 3 at both ends of the rotor shaft 31 is provided with two centrifugal impellers 4.

[0052] The magnetic suspension bearing assembly 5 is coaxially arranged in the casing 1. In this embodiment, an integrated sensor 12 is also arranged in the casing. The magnetic suspension bearing assembly is arranged between the casing and the rotor shaft, and the integrated sensor 12 is used to realize the support and suspension of the rotor.

[0053] The magnetic suspension bearing assembly 5 is arranged at the end of the rotor shaft 31. The magnetic suspension bearing assembly is arranged between the end plate and the stator. Referring to Figure 2 , the magnetic suspension bearing assembly 5 is arranged on one side of the stator 2 to form a gap c.

[0054] In this embodiment, the first hole A of the hole group is formed in the stator 2. The casing 1 is provided with a first air inlet a and a second air inlet b. The first hole A is communicated with the first air inlet a and the gap c. Among them, the first air inlet is arranged at the middle position of the casing, and the second air inlet is arranged at the position close to the end plate of the casing.

[0055] Referring to Figure 1 , the first air inlet on the casing is in the shape of a long strip. The first air inlet is arranged along the circumferential direction of the casing 1.

[0056] In this embodiment, two first air inlets are arranged at the middle position of the casing. Each first air inlet includes four first air inlets. The four air inlets are arranged at equal intervals along the circumferential direction of the casing.

[0057] Referring to Figure 2 , the first hole A includes a first radial hole section d and a first axial hole section e.

[0058] Among them, the first radial hole section is arranged along the radial direction of the stator. The first axial hole section is arranged along the axial direction of the stator. The stator is in the shape of a ring. The inner side of the stator 2 is provided with a three-layer structure of the rotor 3, the magnetic steel protection sleeve 33 and the rotor magnetic steel 32. The magnetic suspension bearing assembly is arranged between the rotor shaft at both ends of the rotor and the casing, that is, the gap is formed at both ends of the rotor.

[0059] The first radial hole section d is formed through the inner and outer ring surfaces of the stator 2.

One end of the first radial hole section d is communicated with the first air inlet a. The first axial hole section e is communicated with the other end of the first radial hole section d and the air gap c.

On the other hand, part of the cooling gas enters the gap between the stator and the rotor via the first radial hole section, and then flows into the air gap, which also reduces the temperature of the rotor. Figure 7

[0060] Referring to Figure 5 , the shape and size of the orifice of the first radial hole section d are adapted to the shape and size of the first air inlet a. In combination with Figure 2 and Figure 7 , the first axial hole section e is provided in a plurality of numbers. The plurality of first axial hole sections e are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the stator 2.

[0061] Referring to Figure 2 , the second hole channel B of the hole channel group is formed in the end plate 11. One end of the second hole channel B is communicated with the second air inlet b and the inner side of the end plate 11. One end of the second hole channel is formed on the circumferential surface of the end plate to be connected to the second air inlet of the housing. The other end of the second hole channel is formed on the inner side surface of the end plate to be communicated with the inner cavity of the housing.

[0062] Continuing to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7 , the third hole channel C of the hole channel group is formed in the magnetic bearing assembly 5. The third hole channel C is communicated with the second hole channel B and the air gap c.

[0063] In this embodiment, the magnetic bearing assembly 5 includes a radial magnetic bearing 51 and an axial magnetic bearing 52. The radial magnetic bearing 51 and the axial magnetic bearing 52 are coaxially arranged.

[0064] The third hole channel C includes a second axial hole section f and a third axial hole section g.

[0065] The second axial hole section f is formed on the radial magnetic bearing 51.

[0066] The third axial hole section g is formed on the axial magnetic bearing 52.

[0067] In this embodiment, an integrated sensor 53 is also mounted between the radial magnetic bearing 51 and the end plate. Similarly, the integrated sensor 53 is formed with a fifth axial hole section. The second axial hole section, the third axial hole section, and the fifth axial hole section are coaxially arranged.

[0068] The second axial hole section, the third axial hole section, and the fifth axial hole section are provided in a plurality of numbers, respectively.​

[0069] The plurality of second axial hole segments are arranged along the circumferential direction of the radial magnetic bearing 51. The plurality of third axial hole segments are arranged along the circumferential direction of the axial magnetic bearing 52. The plurality of fifth axial hole segments are arranged along the circumferential direction of the integrated sensor 53.

[0070] The cooling gas (as shown by the black dotted arrow line in FIG. 4) sucked in through the second air inlet is introduced into the casing through the second hole channel, and then introduced into the gap through the fifth axial hole segment, the second axial hole segment and the third axial hole segment in sequence. In this way, the temperature of the radial magnetic bearing 51, the axial magnetic bearing 52 and the integrated sensor 53 can be effectively reduced when the cooling gas passes through the third hole channel. Figure 7

[0071] The fourth hole channel D of the hole channel group is formed in the rotor shaft 31. One end of the fourth hole channel D is communicated with the gap c. The other end of the fourth hole channel D is communicated with the outside of the end plate 11.

[0072] Continuing to refer to FIG. 5, Figure 2 and Figure 7 the fourth hole channel D includes a second radial hole segment and a second axial hole segment communicated with the gap c.

[0073] The second radial hole segment is arranged at both ends of the rotor. The second radial hole segment h penetrates the rotor shaft 31 and the end plate of the rotor. The second radial hole segment is communicated with the gap c.

[0074] The fourth axial hole segment is communicated with the second radial hole segment h and the outside of the end plate 11.

[0075] Referring to FIG. 6, Figure 6 and Figure 7 the fourth axial hole segment includes a first flow guide hole i and a spiral flow guide groove j.

[0076] The first flow guide hole i is communicated with the second radial hole segment h at one end. The spiral flow guide groove j is formed on the circumferential surface of the rotor shaft 31. The spiral flow guide groove j is arranged around the circumferential surface of the rotor shaft and has a spiral shape. After the rotor shaft is assembled in the shaft hole of the end plate, the spiral flow guide groove j and the hole wall of the shaft hole form a second flow guide hole. One end of the second flow guide hole is connected to the other end of the first flow guide hole i. The other end of the second flow guide hole is communicated with the outside of the end plate 11.

[0077] Specifically, the cooling gas (as shown by the black dotted arrow line in FIG. 4) introduced into the gap is then discharged to the outside of the end plate through the fourth hole channel. In this process, the cooling gas effectively reduces the temperature of the rotor and the rotor shaft. On the other hand, the unique spiral-shaped second flow guide hole prolongs the flow path of the cooling gas, thereby improving the cooling efficiency. Figure 7 In combination with FIG. 7,

[0078] Figure 7 ​​As shown, the rotor 3 drives the centrifugal impeller 4 by driving the driving structure, and the centrifugal impeller 4 rotates. When the centrifugal impeller 4 rotates at high speed, the gas flow on the outside of the end plate generates pressure, forming an effect similar to a small vacuum pump. By rotating the centrifugal impeller 4 to reduce the air pressure value on the outside of the end plate 11, the cooling gas on the outside of the casing 1 is sucked into the casing 1 through the first suction port a and the second suction port b, and then flows into the gap c through the first hole A, the second hole B and the third hole C, and finally is discharged to the outside of the end plate 11 through the fourth hole D.

[0079] When the two centrifugal impellers at both ends of the casing are running, the cooling gas outside the casing is sucked into the casing from the first suction port in the middle of the casing and the second suction port at both ends of the casing, respectively. The two cooling gases are then respectively merged into the gap of the casing through the first hole, the second hole and the third hole, one of which sequentially cools the integrated sensor, then passes through the radial magnetic bearing again, and finally passes through the axial magnetic bearing; the other cooling gas is used to cool the stator coil, and the stator, the magnetic steel protection sleeve and the rotor magnetic steel are cooled. The two cooling gases are respectively merged into the gap, and then discharged to the outside of the end plate through the fourth hole. The rotor and the rotor shaft are uniformly cooled by the spiral flow guide groove on the rotor shaft.

[0080] The two-stage full-air cooling structure of the magnetic suspension gas compressor of the present application is an innovative air cooling structure solution proposed in view of the shortcomings of the existing magnetic suspension gas compressor cooling technology. The two-stage full-air cooling structure of the magnetic suspension gas compressor of the present application optimizes the casing structure design, sets multiple groups of heat dissipation channels on the radial surface of the casing, and respectively meets the cooling requirements of the stator winding, the bearing and the rotor. Specifically, the two-stage full-air cooling structure of the magnetic suspension gas compressor of the present application symmetrically configures centrifugal impellers on both sides of the casing and sets spiral flow guide grooves at both ends of the rotor shaft, so that the cooling gas efficiency is multiplied by the two-stage pressurization design. Compared with the traditional water cooling system, the two-stage full-air cooling structure of the magnetic suspension gas compressor of the present application not only realizes the precise cooling of the stator coil and the bearing rotor, but also significantly improves the heat dissipation efficiency through directional airflow strengthening technology, and finally achieves temperature balance control among the components of the motor.

[0081] The above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application and the explanation of the applied technical principles. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the application involved in the present application is not limited to the technical solutions formed by the specific combination of the above technical features, and also covers other technical solutions formed by any combination of the above technical features or their equivalent features without departing from the inventive concept. For example, the above features are replaced with the technical features disclosed in the present application (but not limited to) having similar functions to form a technical solution.
