[0047] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of a high-power-density propulsion device according to some embodiments.

[0048] The embodiments of the specification propose a high-power-density propulsion device, as shown in Figure 1 The propulsion device 1 includes a transmission shaft 11, a propulsion unit 12, and an inner ring gear 13.

[0049] The transmission shaft 11 is located at the center of the propulsion device 1. A sun gear 111 is sleeved on the transmission shaft 11, and the sun gear 111 is fixed relative to the transmission shaft 11.

[0050] The number of propulsion units 12 is multiple, and the multiple propulsion units 12 are distributed around the transmission shaft 11. In some embodiments, according to the actual power requirement, 2-8, or even more or fewer propulsion units 12 are provided. Figure 1 The three propulsion units 12 shown in the figure are only examples. For ease of description, the following description of the specification will continue to take three propulsion units 12 as an example.

[0051] Referring to Figure 1 , the propulsion unit 12 can output power, and the power output by the propulsion unit 12 provides the propulsion force of the entire propulsion device 1. The propulsion unit 12 includes an outer ring gear 121, which rotates under the drive of the propulsion unit 12 to transmit the power of the propulsion unit 12 outward.

[0052] The internal gear ring 13 has a ring-shaped structure and surrounds multiple propulsion units 12 and the drive shaft 11. The internal gear ring 13 and the drive shaft 11 are coaxially arranged. Multiple propulsion units 12 are arranged between the internal gear ring 13 and the drive shaft 11. The external gear rings 121 on the multiple propulsion units 12 simultaneously mesh with the sun gear 111 and the internal gear ring 13.

[0053] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram showing the connection between a high power density propulsion device and a fan, according to some embodiments.

[0054] In some embodiments, the rotation of multiple external gear rings 121 can simultaneously drive the sun gear 111 and the internal gear ring 13 to rotate, and the sun gear 111 drives the drive shaft 11 to rotate. When the external gear rings 121 simultaneously drive the sun gear 111 and the internal gear ring 13, the fan impeller 22 can be driven by either the drive shaft 11 or the internal gear ring 13, thereby driving the rotation of the fan blades 21. In some embodiments, the drive shaft 11 is connected to the fan impeller 22 to drive the fan blades 21 to rotate. (The following is a continuation of the previous paragraph.) Figures 3-4 This describes the structure by which the internal gear ring 13 drives the fan impeller 22 to rotate. The fan casing 23 encloses the propulsion device 1 and the entire fan assembly.

[0055] Traditional aircraft engines cause air pollution (CO2, NO) due to combustion. X Emissions will exacerbate global environmental pollution, and the electrification of aircraft engines is an inevitable trend in green development. This specification's embodiments transform the study of a single ultra-high-power, high-speed megawatt-class aircraft motor and its gearbox into a study of a bundled combination of multiple smaller-power propulsion units 12, with multiple propulsion units 12 providing power to the fan. The power-to-weight ratio of the propulsion unit 12 has reached at least 3 kW / kg, meeting the high power density requirements for replacing traditional gas turbines. In some embodiments, the power-to-weight ratio of the propulsion unit 12 has reached 3.8 kW / kg.

[0056] Figure 3 This is a structural schematic diagram of a high power density propulsion device according to some embodiments. Figure 4 This is a side view of a high power density propulsion device according to some embodiments.

[0057] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the propulsion device 1 includes an outer rotor 14, which is divided into upper and lower sections (relative to the upper and lower sections). Figure 3The outer rotor 14 is fixed relative to the inner ring 13. In some embodiments, the outer rotor 14 wraps around the sun gear 111, the inner ring 13, and the propulsion units 12. The outer rotor 14 rotates with the inner ring 13. The outer rotor 14 has an output shaft 141 extending outwardly from the center of the outer rotor 14. The output shaft 141 is connected to the fan disk 22. The outer rotor 14 drives the fan disk 22 to rotate through the output shaft 141. It is understood that there is no connection between the transmission shaft 11 and the output shaft 141.

[0058] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the transmission shaft 11 and the output shaft 141 extend in opposite directions from opposite sides of the outer rotor 14. Figure 4

[0059] In some embodiments, the propulsion units 12 drive the transmission shaft 11 and the inner ring 13 to rotate simultaneously. The transmission shaft 11 is connected to the energy storage unit. The energy storage unit converts the kinetic energy generated by the rotation of the transmission shaft 11 into electrical energy for storage.

[0060] In some embodiments, the transmission shaft 11 also provides propulsion for the propulsion device 1. The transmission shaft 11 is connected to the propulsion motor or the energy storage unit. The transmission shaft 11 rotates under the drive of the propulsion motor or the energy storage unit. The energy storage unit releases the stored electrical energy to convert into kinetic energy for the rotation of the transmission shaft 11. The transmission shaft 11 drives the inner ring 13 to rotate together with the plurality of propulsion units 12. This improves the fault tolerance of the propulsion device 1. Even if there is damage or failure in the propulsion motor or the propulsion units 12, the propulsion device 1 can still operate normally under the joint work of the remaining propulsion components.

[0061] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the high-power-density propulsion device 1 includes a planet carrier 15. The planet carrier 15 is used to fix the stator part of the propulsion unit 12. The planet carrier 15 is connected to the rotor part of the propulsion unit 12 through a bearing. Figure 1

[0062] In some embodiments, the propulsion unit 12 includes a slotless permanent magnet synchronous motor based on a Halbach array. The outer ring 121 is sleeved on the outer side of the rotor of the permanent magnet synchronous motor. The structure of the propulsion unit 12 will be described below with reference to Figures 5-6

[0063] Figure 5 FIG. 2 is a three-dimensional view of the propulsion unit according to some embodiments. Figure 6 FIG. 3 is a top view of the propulsion unit according to some embodiments.

[0064] FIG. 4 is a three-dimensional view of the propulsion unit according to some embodiments. Figure 5 Figure 6 ​​​​As shown, the rotor part of the propulsion unit 12 includes a Halbach permanent magnet 124. The Halbach permanent magnet is a kind of high magnetic load design at present, and the use of the material can further reduce the amount of permanent magnet, thereby achieving the effect of lightweight of the propulsion unit 12.

[0065] In some embodiments, the rotor part of the propulsion unit 12 further includes an outer shell 122 and a rotor yoke 123, and the Halbach permanent magnet 124, the rotor yoke 123, the outer shell 122 and the outer gear ring 121 are sequentially arranged in the radially outward direction of the propulsion unit 12, that is, the rotor yoke 123 is wrapped outside the Halbach permanent magnet 124, the outer shell 122 is wrapped outside the rotor yoke 123, and the outer gear ring 121 is wrapped outside the outer shell 122. Specifically, the rotor yoke 123 is fixed on the outer shell 122 by winding technology, so that the rotor yoke 123 is tightly attached to the outer shell 122. By arranging the rotor yoke 123 and the outer shell 122 outside the Halbach permanent magnet 124 to form a protective structure, the protective structure is light and thin, has sufficient pre-tightening force and containment effect, and can effectively avoid the disastrous consequences caused by the flying loss of the rotor components contained therein under high-speed rotation.

[0066] In some embodiments, the stator part of the propulsion unit 12 adopts a slotless structure, that is, the permanent magnet synchronous motor of the propulsion unit 12 adopts an outer rotor Halbach slotless topology structure. Specifically, the stator part of the propulsion unit 12 includes a Litz wire winding 126, a stator yoke 127 and a stator core 128. The Litz wire winding 126, the stator yoke 127 and the stator core 128 are sequentially arranged in the radially inward direction of the propulsion unit 12, the stator yoke 127 has a slotless structure, and the stator yoke 127 and the stator core 128 are connected through a bearing 129. The Litz wire winding 126 is arranged on the radially outer side of the stator yoke 127 and on the radially inner side of the Halbach permanent magnet 124, and an air gap 125 is formed between the Halbach permanent magnet 124 and the Litz wire winding 126. The use of the shaped Litz wire to form the stator winding can effectively suppress the alternating current loss of the permanent magnet synchronous motor at high frequency. The structure of the propulsion unit 12 can make the size of the air gap 125 as small as possible, for example, less than 2.5 mm, thereby improving the output torque of the permanent magnet synchronous motor and the output torque of the plurality of propulsion units 12.

[0067] The stator core 128 is arranged on the radially inner side of the stator yoke 127. The stator yoke 127 forms a slotless structure between the Litz wire winding 126 and the stator core 128, and the use of the slotless structure can maximize the reduction of torque ripple, and compared with the slot structure, the space occupied by the stator slot of the slot structure can be used to lay more windings, thereby improving the full slot rate to a certain extent.

[0068] The specific power density of a permanent magnet synchronous motor can be expressed as:

[0069] (1)

[0070] In equation (1), K Ø is the ratio of electrical load on the rotor and stator, m is the number of phases, m1 is the number of phases per stator, K e is the EMF factor, K i is the current waveform factor, K p is the electrical power waveform coefficient, η is the motor efficiency, B g is the air gap flux density, A is the total electrical load of the motor, f is the converter frequency, p is the number of motor pole pairs, D g is the air gap diameter, L e is the effective part of the stack length, and M is the mass of the motor.

[0071] (2)

[0072] In equation (2), and are proportional to the rotational speed and volume of the motor, respectively. Therefore, the specific power density of the motor is proportional to the air gap flux density, electrical load, and rotational speed. The electrical load or linear current density of the motor is closely related to the heat dissipation capacity and the current density in the slot. High electrical load increases the air gap flux density, but also heats the winding, requiring a larger cooling assembly.

[0073] (3)

[0074] Equation (3) is a hypothetical simplification based on equation (2), in which the electromagnetic load and air gap flux density are constant within a certain rotational speed range. When the power is constant, the motor with high rotational speed has a smaller size; when the size is the same, the motor with high rotational speed has a larger power, and the volume and weight of the motor can be reduced by increasing the rotational speed. The above formula and theory are used to illustrate the key design dimensions of the motor. The transmission shaft 11 shown in the specification directly drives the fan blade disc 22, which is essentially a low-speed large-torque, and through design, the rated rotational speed of the propulsion unit 12 matched therewith can be designed at a high rotational speed state. According to the derivation of the above formula, high-speed design can greatly improve the weight of the motor itself, and thus the power density of the motor.

[0075] Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of a high-power-density propulsion assembly according to some embodiments.

[0076] The embodiments of the specification also provide a high-power-density propulsion assembly 100, which includes the high-power-density propulsion device 1 described in the above embodiments, and further includes a coordination controller 30.

[0077] The propulsion unit 12 comprises unit controllers, i.e. Figure 7 P1 controller, P2 controller and P3 controller as shown. The unit controllers are capable of controlling the electrical power output of the propulsion unit 12, i.e. the P1 controller is capable of controlling the electrical power output of the P1 gear motor (a first permanent magnet synchronous motor), the P2 controller is capable of controlling the electrical power output of the P2 gear motor (a second permanent magnet synchronous motor), and the P3 controller is capable of controlling the electrical power output of the P3 gear motor (a third permanent magnet synchronous motor).

[0078] The coordination controller 30 is in signal connection with the P1 controller, the P2 controller and the P3 controller, and is configured to control the operation of the propulsion unit 12, i.e. the P1 gear motor, the P2 gear motor and the P3 gear motor, according to the operation state data transmitted by the P1 controller, the P2 controller and the P3 controller. The P1 gear motor, the P2 gear motor and the P3 gear motor convert electrical energy into mechanical energy and output through the output shaft 141 to provide power for the operation of the fan 20. The essence of the coordination controller 30 is a health management assembly, which timely stops a motor in a damaged or fault state among the P1 gear motor, the P2 gear motor and the P3 gear motor, so that the fault of the motor does not continue to worsen and affect the safety of the entire high-power-density propulsion assembly.

[0079] The embodiments of the present specification also provide an aero-engine comprising the high-power-density propulsion device 1 of the above embodiments or the high-power-density propulsion assembly 100 of the above embodiments.

In addition, unless explicitly stated in the claims, the order of the processing elements and sequences in the present specification, the use of numerals and letters, or the use of other names, is not used to limit the order of the processes and methods of the present specification.
