Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of motor technology, specifically a motor that integrates electric drive and power generation. Background Technology

[0002] In energy-intensive fields such as energy storage power stations, large-scale water conveyance projects, and mining transportation, drive systems often face complex operating conditions. For example, when equipment is descending a slope or heavy objects are being lowered, excess mechanical energy can occur, causing the motor to enter generator mode. Currently, mainstream technical solutions have significant shortcomings: one approach uses separate motors and generators, resulting in a complex and inefficient system; the other uses ordinary frequency converters to drive the motor, but when the motor generates electricity, the regenerative energy produced can only be consumed as heat through braking resistors, causing serious energy waste and posing heat dissipation and safety hazards.

[0003] Although some frequency converters with feedback function can feed energy back to the grid, their control strategies are simple and their dynamic response is slow. They are difficult to achieve fast and smooth switching between modes when the load fluctuates drastically, which can easily cause shocks to the grid. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above situation and to overcome the defects of the prior art, the present invention provides an integrated electric motor that can generate electricity, effectively solving the problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an integrated electric motor that combines power generation and electric drive, comprising a permanent magnet motor body, a frequency converter module, an energy feedback module, and a central control module;

[0006] The permanent magnet motor body is mechanically connected to the drive system to realize the mutual conversion of electrical energy and mechanical energy;

[0007] The frequency converter module is electrically connected to the permanent magnet motor body and is used to adjust the motor's operating frequency and torque, controlling its operation in motoring or generating mode.

[0008] The energy feedback module is connected to the frequency converter module and the power grid, and is used to feed excess electrical energy back to the power grid when generating electricity;

[0009] The central control module is connected to the frequency converter module and the energy feedback module to monitor the energy status of the drive system and switch the motor operating mode.

[0010] Preferably, the frequency converter module includes a rectifier unit, an inverter unit, and a DC bus capacitor;

[0011] The rectifier unit is a controllable rectifier circuit used to convert AC power from the grid into DC power in the motor state.

[0012] The inverter unit is a fully controlled inverter circuit, used to convert DC power into variable frequency AC power to drive the motor, or to rectify the AC power output by the motor into DC power in the power generation state.

[0013] The DC bus capacitor is used to stabilize the DC bus voltage and suppress power fluctuations.

[0014] Preferably, the energy feedback module includes a grid-connected inverter and a filter circuit;

[0015] The grid-connected inverter is a full-bridge inverter topology used to convert DC bus power into AC power that is in phase and frequency with the power grid.

[0016] The filtering circuit uses an LC low-pass filter to suppress high-frequency harmonics and ensure that the fed-back power meets the grid quality standards.

[0017] Preferably, the central control module includes an energy detection unit and a mode switching unit;

[0018] The energy detection unit collects the power, speed and torque parameters of the drive system in real time to determine whether there is excess or insufficient energy.

[0019] The mode switching unit outputs a control signal based on the detection result, causing the motor to switch to either generator mode or electric mode.

[0020] Preferably, in generator mode, the mode switching unit controls the inverter module to adjust the direction of motor torque so that the motor operates as a generator, and at the same time starts the energy feedback module to transmit power to the grid; in electric mode, it controls the inverter module to output drive torque so that the motor absorbs electrical energy from the grid.

[0021] Preferably, it also includes an energy storage buffer module, which is connected to the DC bus and is used to absorb or release instantaneous power during energy fluctuations to maintain system voltage stability; the energy storage buffer module consists of a supercapacitor bank and a bidirectional DC-DC converter.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0023] When this device is implemented, bidirectional control of motoring and power generation is achieved through a frequency converter module and an energy feedback module. When the drive system has excess energy, the motor operates as a generator, feeding the corresponding energy from the drive system back to the power grid; when the drive system has insufficient energy, the motor operates as a motor, converting electrical energy into mechanical energy through the power grid.
