[0041] The purpose of the present application is to provide an aviation electric propulsion integrated system, which can improve the integration degree, reduce the volume and weight of the overall structure, and increase the redundancy design to improve the overall safety.
[0042] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides the following technical solutions:
[0043] Please refer to Figures 1 to 12 The aviation electric propulsion integrated system provided in the embodiment includes a motor assembly 100, a controller assembly 200 and a radiator assembly 300. The motor assembly 100 is used to connect with a propeller to output power and drive the propeller to rotate. The controller assembly 200 is installed on the side of the motor assembly 100 away from the output shaft 170 thereof. The controller assembly 200 includes a drive control module and a radiator control module. The drive control module is electrically connected with the motor assembly 100 to drive the motor assembly 100 to work. The radiator assembly 300 is installed on the side of the controller assembly 200 away from the motor assembly 100. The radiator assembly 300 is used to radiate heat for the controller assembly 200. The radiator assembly 300 is electrically connected with the controller assembly 200. The radiator control module is used to control the work of the radiator assembly 300.
[0044] Specifically, the motor assembly 100, controller assembly 200, and radiator assembly 300 are integrated into a single unit, and their installation sequence is as follows: motor assembly 100, controller assembly 200, and radiator assembly 300. In this system, the three are tightly connected along the axial direction, resulting in a smaller overall size, less space occupation, and convenient installation, which is beneficial for the integrated design of propellers and aircraft fuselages. The motor assembly 100 is connected to the propeller and can output power, while the controller assembly 200 includes a drive control module and a radiator control module. The drive control module can control the motor assembly 100 to perform different actions, while the radiator control module can control the radiator assembly 300 to operate, thereby dissipating the heat generated by the control assembly and the motor assembly 100. The controller assembly 200 integrates the control of the motor assembly 100 and the radiator assembly 300, reducing signal transmission and processing delays, improving the response speed of the integrated system, enhancing the coordination of the integrated system control, and thus improving the performance and efficiency of the integrated system.
[0045] It should be noted that the controller assembly 200 includes, but is not limited to, drive control modules and radiator control modules, and multiple drive control modules and radiator control modules can be set, and each drive control module or radiator control module has the same function, so that the redundancy configuration of the control assembly can be achieved.
[0046] In one possible implementation, the motor assembly 100 includes a stator assembly and a rotor assembly, the rotor assembly being fitted around the periphery of the stator assembly, and the stator assembly being connected to...
[0047] In this embodiment, the structure and principle of the motor assembly 100 are the same as those of the prior art, both including a stator assembly and a rotor assembly. In this embodiment, the rotor assembly is located outside the stator assembly, and the stator assembly outputs power to the outside when it rotates.
[0048] Furthermore, the stator assembly includes a carbon fiber sleeve 110, a stator core assembly 120, a stator base 130, and a nacelle connecting bracket 140. The carbon fiber sleeve 110 and the nacelle connecting bracket 140 are annular structures, and the stator base 130 is installed between the carbon fiber sleeve 110 and the nacelle connecting bracket 140. The three components together form an annular inner cavity to enclose the stator core assembly 120 inside.
[0049] Specifically, the carbon fiber sleeve 110 and the nacelle connecting bracket 140 are mutually compatible annular structures. The stator core assembly 120 is also an annular structure. The top of the stator base 130 abuts against the carbon fiber sleeve 110, and the bottom abuts against the nacelle connecting bracket 140. Together with the outer wall of the carbon fiber sleeve 110 and the mounting part 131 of the stator base 130, they form an annular inner cavity that completely encloses the stator core assembly 120. The stator core and the outer wall of the stator base 130 are press-fitted. The top of the carbon fiber sleeve 110 is connected and fixed to the stator base 130 with screws and sealed with a sealing ring. The nacelle connecting bracket 140 and the stator base 130 are sealed with a sealing gasket. The carbon fiber sleeve 110 and the nacelle connecting bracket 140 are connected with sealant and screws. The stator core assembly 120 has insulating end plates at both ends, and each tooth is fitted with a stator winding. The stator winding and the stator core are separated by insulating paper.
[0050] Furthermore, the stator core assembly 120 includes a stator core, two sets of flat wire windings, and a busbar. The stator core is installed inside the stator base 130, the two flat wire windings are symmetrically installed on the stator core and isolated by insulating paper, and the busbar is installed on the stator base 130 and is electrically connected to the flat wire windings.
[0051] In this embodiment, the stator core assembly 120 includes a stator core, flat wire windings, slot wedges, and busbars. The stator core has insulating end plates at both ends, and each tooth is fitted with a stator winding. Insulating paper separates the stator windings from the stator core. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the stator core is divided into two parts along a diameter passing through its axis, and the stator windings of each part can be connected to form a set of three-phase flat wire windings for the motor. Specifically, as shown... Figures 6 to 9 As shown, the stator core component 120 in this embodiment adopts a dual three-phase winding design, with two sets of windings symmetrically distributed and no electrical connection between them. When one set of windings fails, the other set of windings is unaffected. The stator core has insulating end plates at both ends. The flat wire windings are connected to the stator core by unwinding and fixed with slot wedges. The wiring is done by welding the three-phase busbars and star busbars according to the wiring diagram. The three-phase busbars and star busbars are fixed to the stator base 130 by busbar supports.
[0052] Furthermore, the rotor assembly includes a magnet sleeve assembly 150 and a shaft assembly 160. The magnet sleeve assembly 150 is rotatably fitted onto the carbon fiber sleeve 110, and the shaft assembly 160 is rotatably mounted on the stator base 130, and passes through the carbon fiber sleeve 110 to connect with the magnet sleeve assembly 150.
[0053] In this embodiment, specifically as follows: Figures 6 to 9As shown, a mounting part 131 is provided in the middle of the stator base 130. The space between this part and the inner wall of the stator base 130 is used to install the shaft assembly 160. The shaft assembly 160 includes a shaft, a bearing, and two rotor parts of the external rotor. The shaft and the bearing are interference fit. The inner ring of the bearing is axially limited by the shaft shoulder and the pressure plate. The outer ring of the bearing is in contact with the inner wall of the stator base 130. The rotor parts of the two external rotors are installed axially spaced inside the shaft. The rotor parts of the two external rotors are sleeved on the outer wall of the mounting part 131. The top of the shaft is connected to the magnet sleeve assembly 150 by screws.
[0054] Furthermore, the magnet sleeve assembly 150 includes: a rotor sleeve 151, a rotor disc 152, and a plurality of magnets 153. The rotor sleeve 151 has an annular structure, and the plurality of magnets 153 are attached to the inner wall of the rotor sleeve 151. The rotor disc 152 is disposed at one end of the rotor sleeve 151 away from the carbon fiber sleeve 110. The rotor sleeve 151 is connected to the shaft assembly 160.
[0055] In this embodiment, the magnet sleeve assembly 150 includes a rotor sleeve 151, a rotor disc 152, and a magnet 153, as shown in the figure. The magnet 153 is glued to the inner wall of the rotor sleeve 151. To limit the movement of the magnet 153, both the rotor sleeve 151 and the rotor disc 152 are provided with stop bosses to hold the magnet 153 in place. The rotor disc 152 is connected to the rotor sleeve 151 by radially distributed screws.
[0056] In one possible implementation, the nacelle connecting bracket 140 is provided with a first oil inlet 141 and a second oil outlet 142, and the stator base 130 is provided with an oil cavity, a second oil inlet for connecting the oil cavity and the first oil inlet 141, and a first oil outlet for connecting the oil cavity and the stator core assembly 120.
[0057] In this embodiment, specifically as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the arrows indicate the direction of coolant flow. The stator coolant path is as follows: first oil inlet 141 on the nacelle connecting bracket 140 — second oil inlet on the stator base 130 — oil cavity of the stator base 130 — first oil outlet of the stator base 130 — stator assembly (oil grooves evenly distributed around the circumference of the stator base 130 and oil passages within the stator grooves) — second oil outlet 142 on the nacelle bracket. This part describes the flow path of coolant within the stator assembly. It should be noted that the coolant entering through the first oil inlet 141 is cooled by the heat exchanger 320, while the oil exiting through the second oil outlet 142 will enter the heat exchanger 320.
[0058] In one possible implementation, the controller assembly 200 further includes a base plate 230, a housing 240, and a current processing module. The housing 240 and the base plate 230 form a cavity for mounting the drive control module, the radiator control module, and the current processing module. The base plate 230 is mounted on the nacelle connecting bracket 140. The current processing module is electrically connected to the drive control module and the radiator control module, respectively, and is capable of being connected to an external power source. The current processing module is used to convert the incoming direct current into alternating current.
[0059] In addition, the drive control module, the heat sink control module, and the current processing module are each equipped with two sets.
[0060] In this embodiment, specifically as follows: Figure 10 As shown, the controller assembly 200 includes: a base plate 230, a housing 240, a control board 211, a power board 212, a drive board 213, a radiator control board 221, two thin-film capacitors 251, two filter components 252, six power inverter modules 253, a bus assembly 254, two high-voltage connectors 255, four low-voltage connectors 256, and two radiator connectors 257. In this embodiment, the base plate 230 has flow channels for cooling oil. The input of current cools the controller assembly 200; the control board 211, power board 212, and drive board 213 are drive control modules, while the radiator control board 221 is a radiator control module; the film capacitor 251, filter assembly 252, power inverter module 253, and bus assembly 254 form a current processing module; the high-voltage connector 255 is used to connect DC power; the low-voltage connector 256 is used to connect the motor assembly 100; and the radiator connector 257 is used to connect the radiator assembly 300.
[0061] Specifically, the thin-film capacitor 251 is fixed on the lower surface (flow channel surface) of the base plate 230; the power inverter module 253 is locked onto the upper surface of the base plate 230, and the power board 212 is aligned with the power inverter module 253 and locked onto the support column of the base plate 230 (above the module), with the pins of the power inverter module 253 soldered onto the power board 212; the filter components 252 are fixed at corresponding positions on both sides of the base plate 230, with one end connected to the power board 212 and the other end connected and fixed to the thin-film capacitor 251; the bus components 254 are fixed at corresponding positions on both sides of the base plate 230, one... One end is connected and fixed to the terminal block on the power board 212, and the other end is connected and fixed to the busbar of the motor; the drive board 213 is located above the power board 212 and fixed to the fixing post on the base plate 230; the control board 211 is located above the power board 212 and fixed to the fixing post on the base plate 230; the radiator control board 221 is fixed to the support post inside the base plate 230 of the housing 240; each high-voltage and low-voltage connector 256 is fixed to the corresponding mounting hole on the housing 240; insert the terminals on the connectors into the sockets on the corresponding boards; cover the housing 240 on the base plate 230 and lock it. Install the assembled controller on the motor interface and lock it.
[0062] When the controller assembly 200 is working, it can convert the DC power from the DC power supply (battery) into three-phase AC power required by the motor through a magnetic ring and capacitor, and then into power inverter module 253 to drive the motor. Specifically, the DC power cable is fixed to the copper busbar of the filter component 252 through DC high-voltage connector 255. The current passes through the thin film capacitor 251 on the capacitor board to block ripple and eliminate DC bus voltage fluctuations, and then the capacitor board is connected to the input terminals of the six power inverter modules 253. After the DC power is converted into three-phase AC power by the power inverter module 253, the output terminals of the inverter module are connected to the three-phase terminals on the capacitor board. The six (two sets) three-phase terminals on the capacitor board are connected to the six (two sets) three-phase terminals of the dual-winding motor, forming two relatively independent inverter control systems, thereby controlling the operation of the drive motor. The heat generated during the current inversion process is carried away by the coolant in the heat dissipation channel.
[0063] In this application, the radiator assembly 300 includes at least one oil pump 310, a heat exchanger 320, and a fan 330. The oil outlet of the oil pump 310 is connected to a second oil inlet, the oil inlet of the oil pump 310 is connected to the inlet of the heat exchanger 320, the outlet of the heat exchanger 320 is connected to a first oil outlet, and the fan 330 is used to cool the cooling oil passing through the heat exchanger 320.
[0064] In one embodiment, specifically as follows: Figure 12As shown, the radiator assembly 300 includes a dual-head oil pump 310, a heat exchanger 320, and a fan 330. The oil pump 310 has two oil inlets and two oil outlets. The dual-head oil pump 310 is installed on the underside of the controller assembly 200, and the fan 330 is installed on the underside of the oil pump 310. The heat exchanger 320 is specifically a heat dissipation fin, which is mounted and connected to the oil pump 310 and located below the fan 330, meaning that the fan 330 can blow air onto the heat exchanger 320. With this configuration, the oil pump 310 can circulate the cooling oil cooled by the heat exchanger 320 into the controller assembly and the motor assembly 100 for further cooling. Furthermore, the cooling oil that has absorbed heat can be circulated back into the heat exchanger 320 for cooling. In this embodiment, the drive motor of the fan 330 also has a dual three-phase winding structure, which is equivalent to a power redundancy design. When one three-phase winding fails, the other can continue to operate normally, improving system safety.
[0065] In another embodiment, specifically as follows: Figure 11 As shown, the radiator assembly 300 includes two oil pumps 310, a heat exchanger 320, and a fan 330. The oil pumps 310 are independent of each other, and both can drive the cooling oil for circulation and cooling. In this embodiment, the two heat exchangers 320 have a semi-annular structure, which can be attached to the outer side of an annular housing. The two oil pumps 310 are located inside the annular housing, and the fan 330 is installed at the lower end of the annular housing. The oil outlet of the heat exchanger 320 is connected to the first oil inlet 141, and the oil inlet is connected to the oil outlet of the oil pump 310. The oil inlet of the oil pump 310 is connected to the second oil outlet, thus forming a circulation path for the cooling oil. In this embodiment, redundancy of the radiator assembly 300 is achieved by setting two independent cooling oil circulation paths.
[0066] In both of the above embodiments, the stator cooling oil path is as follows: first oil inlet 141 on nacelle connecting bracket 140 — second oil inlet on stator base 130 — oil cavity of stator base 130 — first oil outlet of stator base 130 — stator assembly (oil grooves evenly distributed around the circumference of stator base 130 and oil passage gaps in stator grooves) — second oil outlet 142 of nacelle bracket. This describes the flow path of the cooling oil within the stator assembly. It's important to note that the cooling oil entering through the first oil inlet 141 is already cooled by the heat exchanger 320, while the oil exiting through the second oil outlet 142 enters the heat exchanger 320—is cooled by the oil pump 310—and then enters the cooling channel of the base plate 230 of the controller assembly 200—before entering the second oil inlet of the stator base 130 through the first oil inlet 141 of the nacelle connecting bracket 140—forming a circulation loop within the stator base 130 oil chamber. However, it's worth noting that the oil pumps 310 differ between the two embodiments: one uses a dual-head oil pump 310, while the other uses two separate oil pumps 310.
[0067] In summary, the integrated aviation electric propulsion system provided in this application has the following advantages: First, the motor assembly 100, controller assembly 200, and radiator assembly 300 are highly integrated into one system, resulting in a compact structure, small size, and convenient installation, which is beneficial for the integrated design of propellers and aircraft fuselages. Furthermore, the motor assembly 100, controller assembly 200, and radiator all adopt a compact and lightweight design, resulting in low weight. The oil cooling path is reasonable, the manufacturing process is simple and easy to implement, and the cooling effect is excellent. Secondly, the bearing assembly features dual-turnover installation and redundant design, ensuring safety and reliability. Additionally, the oil circuit can employ a dual-oil pump 310 drive redundancy design, allowing the other to operate normally even if one fails, without affecting the oil circuit's circulation. The fan 330 drive motor also features a redundant design with dual three-phase windings, further integrating the system, effectively reducing weight, and occupying less space. Finally, the stator core is divided into two equal parts, with each part's windings connected to form a set of three-phase windings, meaning the entire motor is equivalent to two sub-motors, representing a power redundancy design. When one sub-motor fails, the other can operate normally, improving system safety.
