In order to make the dynamic balance of the rotor meet the use requirements when the rotor is running, a rotor end ring is generally installed at both ends of the rotor core. The rotor end ring is usually made of metal material and has a certain thickness. A balance weight hole is left at the position close to the outer circle of the end ring or the weight is removed to balance the rotor, and the rotor end ring has no other functions.

[0003] For example, Figure 1 The existing switched reluctance rotor end ring generally balances the rotor by removing weight or increasing weight, and has no other functions. The rotor end ring has the following disadvantages:

[0004] 1) The rotor end ring is only used for balancing the rotor, and the weight of the rotor is increased, and the material utilization rate is not high;

[0005] 2) The rotor end ring occupies the axial space of the rotor, so that the cooling medium cannot directly contact the rotor core, and heat dissipation is affected;

[0006] Therefore, a rotor end ring that can balance the rotor and efficiently cool the rotor core is needed to improve the material utilization rate in a unit space and the reliability of the product. SUMMARY

[0007] In order to solve the above problems, the application provides a rotor end ring of an oil-cooled switched reluctance motor to solve the problem of low material utilization rate of the existing rotor end ring in balancing the rotor in the prior art.

[0022] For the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail below in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. In the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions throughout. The described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all embodiments. The embodiments described below by reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application. The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings.

[0023] The first aspect of the present application provides a rotor end ring of an oil-cooled switched reluctance motor, which is connected with a switched reluctance motor rotor core.

[0024] As Figures 2-4 , including ring body 1 and heat dissipation module, the heat dissipation module and the ring body 1 combine to form a heat dissipation passage; The outer circle of the ring body 1 is provided with a balance adjusting area; The ring body 1 and the heat dissipation module are made of metal materials with good non-magnetic and heat conduction properties, such as copper and aluminum.

[0025] The heat dissipation module includes a cooling ring and a flow guide plate 5; The cooling ring is arranged inside the ring body 1, and the inner side of the cooling ring is provided with an oil inlet 6; The cooling ring has multiple groups, and the multiple groups of cooling rings form a cooling oil path; The flow guide plate 5 and the ring body 1 form an oil outlet 7, and the oil inlet 6, the cooling oil path and the oil outlet 7 are in communication.

[0026] The cooling oil of the rotating shaft enters the oil inlet 6 of the cold end ring, and is thrown out from the oil outlet 7 after passing through the cooling oil path. The oil outlet 7 of the oil is opposite to the end of the stator winding, and the oil thrown out in the rotating state can cool the stator winding.

[0027] For the first time, dynamic balance correction and high-efficiency cooling are integrated in the same end ring, breaking the limitation of traditional end ring function single, reducing the number of additional parts, simplifying the structure of the motor. The heat dissipation module and the ring body 1 are designed to form a heat dissipation passage, so that the cooling medium (oil) can directly flow through the rotor core, avoiding the problem of hindering heat dissipation of the traditional end ring, and improving the rotor cooling efficiency.

[0028] Preferably, the cooling ring includes a first cooling ring 2, a second cooling ring 3 and a third cooling ring 4, the first cooling ring 2, the second cooling ring 3 and the third cooling ring 4 are coaxially arranged, and the first cooling ring 2 is arranged at the innermost side, and the third cooling ring 4 is arranged at the outermost side.

[0029] Through the coaxial multi-layer cooling ring design, the lubricating oil flows through the cooling rings at different radial positions layer by layer from the inside to the outside, forming a gradient heat dissipation path covering different radial areas of the rotor core, and improving the overall temperature uniformity of the rotor.

[0030] Preferably, the first cooling ring 2 has two groups and is arranged in a ring shape, and has a spacing between adjacent first cooling rings 2, and the first cooling ring 2 is in interference fit with the rotating shaft of the rotor. The first cooling ring 2 is close to the rotating shaft and is in close contact with the rotating shaft through the interference fit, so that the heat transmitted by the rotating shaft can be directly absorbed when the lubricating oil flows, avoiding the risk of mechanical failure caused by local overheating of the rotating shaft.

[0031] Preferably, the second cooling ring 3 has three groups and is arranged in a ring shape, and has a spacing between adjacent second cooling rings 3, and the spacing between the second cooling ring 3 and the first cooling ring 2 is arranged in an interlaced manner. The spacing between the second cooling ring 3 and the first cooling ring 2 is interlaced, so that the lubricating oil forms an "S" type or cross-flow path when flowing, prolongs the residence time of the lubricating oil in the cooling ring, increases the contact area with the ring body 1 and the rotor core, and improves the heat exchange efficiency.

[0032] Preferably, the third cooling ring 4 has eight groups and is arranged in a ring shape, and has a spacing between adjacent third cooling rings 4, and the spacing positions of the third cooling ring 4 and the second cooling ring 3 are different. The third cooling ring 4 is close to the outer circle of the rotor, and the eight ring-shaped designs expand the cooling coverage, ensuring that the heat of the outer circle of the rotor is fully removed, maintaining the stability of the air gap magnetic field and improving the output efficiency of the motor.

[0033] Preferably, the oil outlet 7 has multiple groups and is arranged circumferentially and uniformly around the ring body 1, and each oil outlet 7 is provided with two flow guides 5; the oil outlet 7 is arranged opposite the end portion of the stator winding of the motor, and the cooling oil path can be set to different sizes according to the space and the required flow resistance.

[0034] The oil outlet is opposite the end portion of the stator winding, and the centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation of the rotor is used to throw the lubricating oil to the end portion of the stator winding, directly flushing the surface of the winding, quickly removing the heat generated by the copper loss of the winding, significantly reducing the winding temperature rise, and avoiding insulation failure.

[0035] In summary, the present application has the following advantages:

[0036] It can not only meet the demand of rotor dynamic balance, but also cool the rotor core and the end portion of the stator winding, and is simple and reliable, especially suitable for aviation oil-cooled switched reluctance motors, and improves the reliability of the motor.

[0037] The above merely provides the specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited to this. Any person skilled in the art can easily think of the changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the present application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
