Detailed Implementation

[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments, but the implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 10 This invention provides a hybrid flux motor for a robot joint module, comprising a rotor housing 1, bearings 2, and a stator base 3. The stator base 3 is fitted inside the rotor housing 1, and the rotor housing 1 and the stator base 3 are rotatably connected by the bearings 2. The stator base 3 includes a base plate 31, an outer ring plate 32, and a central shaft 33. The central shaft 33 and the outer ring plate 32 are both fixed to the end face of the base plate 31. The central shaft 33 is located inside the outer ring plate 32 and the two are coaxially arranged. A first radial flux stator is mounted on the central shaft 33. 4. A second radial flux stator 5 is installed on the outer ring plate 32, and an axial flux stator 6 is installed on the base plate 31. The first radial flux stator 4, the second radial flux stator 5, and the axial flux stator 6 are connected to the motor driver by wires respectively. The first radial flux stator 4 is sleeved on the outside of the second radial flux stator 5. A motor rotor 7 is provided between the first radial flux stator 4 and the second radial flux stator 5. The motor rotor 7 is fixedly connected to the rotor housing 1. The motor rotor 7 and the axial flux stator 6 are arranged sequentially along their axial direction.

[0021] In some embodiments of this application, the rotor housing 1 includes a circular base plate and an annular surrounding plate, and the base plate 31 of the stator base 3 is a circular plate. The circular base plate of the rotor housing 1 and the base plate 31 of the stator base 3 are coaxially arranged, and both the circular base plate and the base plate 31 are provided with a central hole.

[0022] In some embodiments of this application, the bearing 2 can be a crossed roller bearing 2, with the inner ring of the bearing 2 sleeved on the outer circumferential surface of the outer ring plate 32, and the outer ring of the bearing 2 sleeved on the inner circumferential surface of the circular base plate of the rotor housing.

[0023] In some embodiments of this application, the substrate 31 is provided with a plurality of through holes for inserting wires.

[0024] In the above-mentioned scheme of this application, the hybrid flux motor includes a rotor housing 1, a bearing 2 and a stator base 3. The stator base 3 is sleeved inside the rotor housing 1, and the rotor housing 1 and the stator base 3 are rotatably connected by the bearing 2. In this way, the rotor housing 1 can rotate relative to the stator base 3. The stator base 3 includes a base plate 31, an outer ring plate 32, and a central shaft 33. The central shaft 33 and the outer ring plate 32 are both fixed to the end face of the base plate 31. The central shaft 33 is located inside the outer ring plate 32 and the two are coaxially arranged. A first radial flux stator 4 is installed on the central shaft 33, a second radial flux stator 5 is installed on the outer ring plate 32, and an axial flux stator 6 is installed on the base plate 31. The first radial flux stator 4, the second radial flux stator 5, and the axial flux stator 6 are connected to a motor driver through wires, respectively. The first radial flux stator 4 is sleeved outside the second radial flux stator 5. A motor rotor 7 is provided between the first radial flux stator 4 and the second radial flux stator 5. The motor rotor 7 is fixedly connected to the rotor housing 1. The motor rotor 7 and the axial flux stator 6 are arranged sequentially along their axial direction. With this structure, the first radial flux stator 4 and the second radial flux stator 5 can form a radial magnetic circuit, and the axial flux stator 6 can form an axial magnetic circuit. This reduces magnetic leakage, improves the overall integration of the motor, increases the torque and power density of the joint module, and thus improves the performance of the joint module.

[0025] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the motor rotor 7 includes an annular base plate 71 and a magnetic assembly 72 mounted on the end face of the annular base plate 71. The magnetic assembly 72 includes multiple magnetic cores 721 and multiple magnets 722. The magnetic cores 721 are arranged sequentially along the circumference of the annular base plate 71, and a magnet 722 is placed between any two adjacent magnetic cores 721. Each side of a magnetic core 721 is in contact with a magnet 722. The annular base plate 71 is made of a non-magnetic material. The magnetization directions of any two adjacent magnets 722 are opposite. With this structure, the magnetic cores 721 and magnets 722 are arranged alternately circumferentially, and the magnetization directions of adjacent magnets 722 are opposite, so that the magnetic circuit forms a closed loop in the radial direction. This helps to concentrate the magnetic flux, reduce the magnetic resistance in the magnetic circuit, and improve the magnetic density of the air gap. The magnetic energy of the magnets 722 enters the working air gap more effectively through the magnetic cores 721 on both sides, reducing magnetic leakage. The alternating arrangement of the iron core and 722 magnets also makes the magnetic field distribution more continuous when the rotor rotates, which helps to smooth the torque output and suppress pulsation caused by sudden changes in the magnetic field.

[0026] In some embodiments of this application, the iron core is manufactured using powder metallurgy, and the magnet 722 is manufactured using integral injection molding. The arrows in the diagram indicate the magnetization direction of the magnet 722. The motor in this application uses a mixed radial and axial magnetic flux design for its magnetic circuit; this motor is not a simple series connection of axial and radial magnetic flux motors.

[0027] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, the outer ring surface of the annular base plate 71 is provided with multiple positioning protrusions arranged sequentially along its circumference. The base plate 31 is provided with positioning holes, and the inner wall of the positioning holes is provided with positioning grooves. The positioning grooves are arranged through the axial direction of the positioning holes. There are multiple positioning grooves, and each positioning groove corresponds to a positioning protrusion. The end of the annular base plate 71 away from the magnetic component 72 is located in the positioning hole, and the positioning protrusions are engaged in the positioning grooves. The motor rotor 7 also includes a fixing ring 73, which is sleeved on the outer circumference of the annular base plate 71. The fixing ring 73 and the rotor housing 1 are detachably connected, and the fixing ring 73 and the positioning protrusions are in a limiting fit. With this structure, the engagement of the positioning protrusions and the positioning grooves provides circumferential positioning for the rotor assembly and restricts the relative rotation between the rotor and the stator base 3. The connection between the fixing ring 73 and the rotor housing 1, as well as its axial limiting fit with the positioning protrusions, together achieve the axial clamping and fixing of the rotor. This connection method facilitates alignment and installation during assembly, and at the same time maintains the stability of the rotor position during operation, which helps to maintain a uniform air gap length.

[0028] In some embodiments of this application, the first radial flux stator 4 and the second radial flux stator 5 are both axially offset relative to the motor rotor 7, and the offset directions of the first radial flux stator 4 and the second radial flux stator 5 are opposite. The offset angles of the first radial flux stator 4 and the second radial flux stator 5 satisfy the formula:

[0029] Where Z is the number of slots in the motor, 2P is the number of pole pairs, and LCM(Z, 2P) is the least common multiple of Z and 2P. This structure effectively reduces cogging torque and torque ripple in the motor. The two radial flux stators are offset by a specific angle in opposite directions, causing the cogging torque harmonics they generate to be phase-shifted. This offset angle is determined by the number of slots and pole pairs in the motor itself, enabling the main harmonic components in the cogging torque waveforms generated by the two stator windings to cancel each other out. This cancellation smooths the overall torque output, helping to reduce torque ripple during motor operation and thus improving operational stability.

[0030] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the motor also includes a first heat dissipation sleeve 8, which includes a first ring sleeve 81 and a first annular heat dissipation plate 82. The first ring sleeve 81 is sleeved on the outer peripheral surface of the first radial flux stator 4. The first annular heat dissipation plate 82 contacts the side of the first radial flux stator 4 away from the substrate 31, and the ends of the first ring sleeve 81 and the first annular heat dissipation plate 82 are connected. The surfaces of the first ring sleeve 81 and the first annular heat dissipation plate 82 away from the first radial flux stator 4 are respectively provided with first heat dissipation grooves and second heat dissipation grooves. Multiple first heat dissipation grooves are provided, and these grooves are sequentially distributed along the circumference of the first ring sleeve 81. Similarly, multiple second heat dissipation grooves are provided, and these grooves are sequentially distributed along the circumference of the first annular heat dissipation plate 82. The multiple first heat dissipation grooves and the multiple second heat dissipation grooves correspond one-to-one and are interconnected. With this structure, the first and second heat dissipation grooves can form a heat dissipation channel, and the provision of first and second heat dissipation grooves increases the heat dissipation area, thereby improving the motor's heat dissipation performance.

[0031] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the motor also includes a second heat dissipation sleeve 9, which includes a second ring sleeve 91 and a second annular heat dissipation plate. The second ring sleeve 91 is fitted onto the inner circumferential surface of the second radial flux stator 5. The second annular heat dissipation plate contacts the side of the second radial flux stator 5 away from the substrate 31, and the ends of the second ring sleeve 91 and the second annular heat dissipation plate are connected. The surfaces of the second ring sleeve 91 and the second annular heat dissipation plate away from the second radial flux stator 5 are respectively provided with third and fourth heat dissipation grooves. Multiple third heat dissipation grooves are provided, and these grooves are sequentially distributed along the circumference of the second ring sleeve 91. Similarly, multiple fourth heat dissipation grooves are provided, and these grooves are sequentially distributed along the circumference of the second annular heat dissipation plate. The multiple third and fourth heat dissipation grooves correspond one-to-one and are interconnected. With this structure, the third and fourth heat dissipation grooves can form a heat dissipation channel, and the presence of these grooves increases the heat dissipation area, thereby improving the motor's heat dissipation performance.

[0032] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 9 As shown, the inner circumferential surface of the outer ring plate 32 is provided with multiple heat dissipation grooves, which are distributed sequentially along the circumference of the outer ring plate 32. The heat dissipation grooves extend axially along the outer ring plate 32 and are opened at one end away from the base plate 31. With this structure, heat dissipation is achieved through multiple heat dissipation grooves, which can further improve the heat dissipation performance of the motor.

[0033] In some embodiments of this application, both the first heat sink 8 and the second heat sink 9 are made of high thermal conductivity carbon fiber. A thermally conductive insulating pad is provided between the first heat sink 8 and the first radial flux stator 4, and a thermally conductive insulating pad is provided between the second heat sink 9 and the second radial flux stator 5. With this structure, the heat sinks made of high thermal conductivity carbon fiber can quickly dissipate the heat generated by the stator windings and core during operation. The thermally conductive insulating pads, while ensuring electrical isolation, fill the contact gap between the heat sink and the stator, improving the heat transfer path. This combination allows heat inside the stator to be more smoothly conducted to the external heat dissipation surface, thereby accelerating heat dissipation and helping to control the temperature rise of the motor.

[0034] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first radial flux stator 4 includes a stator core and a stator winding. The stator core includes an annular mounting plate and multiple core blocks. The multiple core blocks are arranged sequentially along the circumference of the annular mounting plate, and each core block is fitted with a stator winding.

[0035] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the motor also includes an annular limiting plate and bolts. A limiting groove is provided on the inner wall of the rotor housing, and the outer ring of bearing 2 is installed within the limiting groove. The annular limiting plate is connected to the rotor housing 1 by bolts, and the annular limiting plate and the outer ring of bearing 2 are in a limiting fit. An annular stop and an annular groove are provided on the outer circumferential surface of the outer ring plate 32, and an annular baffle is provided within the annular groove. The inner ring of bearing 2 is located between the annular stop and the annular baffle. With this structure, the annular limiting plate engages with the limiting groove on the rotor housing 1, fixing the outer ring of bearing 2 axially and preventing axial movement. Simultaneously, the annular stop and the annular baffle on the outer ring plate 32 of the stator base 3 together form an installation space, precisely confining the inner ring of bearing 2 within it. This bidirectional limiting method provides reliable constraint to bearing 2 in both the radial and axial directions, ensuring the stability of the relative position between the rotor and stator and helping to maintain a uniform air gap.
