Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of compressor design and manufacturing, and more particularly to an induction motor and a scroll compressor. Background Technology

[0002] Induction motors are widely used as power sources for scroll compressors due to their advantages such as simple structure, easy manufacturing, reliable operation, and low noise. In addition, according to user needs, stable operation in multiple modes of fixed frequency and variable frequency can be achieved through reasonable electromagnetic design.

[0003] When an induction motor drives the rotating scroll of a scroll compressor, it often suffers from over-engineering or power mismatch, resulting in low efficiency and power factor, which increases the motor's cost. Furthermore, the motor's weight is significant, posing challenges to its manufacturing and assembly, especially for vertical compressors. Therefore, within the temperature rise limit, it is crucial to achieve a high degree of matching between the load and the motor through reasonable electromagnetic design, ensuring high efficiency, low weight, and low cost across a wider load range.

[0004] The present invention aims to provide an induction motor and scroll compressor technology to improve motor efficiency, reduce motor weight and cost, etc. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing induction motors in driving the rotating scroll disc of a scroll compressor, this invention provides an induction motor and a scroll-type variable frequency compressor. By limiting the relationships between Kq, Ks, Kf, and Kd to 10.216 ≤ [Kf×(1-Kd)+Kq×Ks] / (Kf×Kd) ≤ 16.844, this invention increases motor efficiency and reduces costs. Furthermore, by imposing dimensional constraints on the first conductor placement slot, the second conductor placement slot, and the heat dissipation channel, motor efficiency is further increased while motor costs are reduced.

[0006] The technical means employed in this invention are as follows:

[0007] An induction motor includes an outer stator core and an inner rotor core.

[0008] The stator core includes multiple evenly distributed first magnetic teeth, a first magnetic yoke, and a first conductor placement slot. Multiple turns of circular enameled wire and insulating paper are placed in the first conductor placement slot. The circular enameled wire is composed of an outermost insulating enamel layer, a middle layer of copper material, and an innermost layer of aluminum material. The outside of the stator core is also hollowed out to form a heat dissipation channel.

[0009] The rotor core includes multiple uniformly distributed second magnetic teeth, a second magnetic yoke, and a second conductor placement slot. Cast aluminum is provided in the second conductor placement slot, and a magnetic bridge is also provided on the outside of the rotor core.

[0010] Define the ratio of the number of second conductor placement slots Q2 to the number of first conductor placement slots Q1 as Kq, and the difference between the number of first conductor placement slots Q1 and the number of second conductor placement slots Q2 as ΔQ, satisfying: 1.1<Kq=Q2 / Q1<1.3, and ΔQ=Q2-Q1=2×k, where k takes the value of 2, 3 or 4;

[0011] Define the cross-sectional area of ​​the first conductor placement slot as S1, the cross-sectional area of ​​the second conductor placement slot as S2, and the ratio of the cross-sectional area of ​​the second conductor placement slot to the cross-sectional area of ​​the first conductor placement slot as Ks = S2 / S1, satisfying: 0.288 < Ks < 0.452;

[0012] Define the conductor filling rate of the first conductor placement slot as Kf, and the copper material occupancy rate of the round enameled wire as Kd, satisfying: 10.216≤[Kf×(1-Kd)+Kq×Ks] / (Kf×Kd)≤16.844.

[0013] Furthermore, the maximum outer radius of the stator core is R11, and the outer radius of the rotor core is R2, wherein R11 and R2 satisfy 0.442 < R2 / R11 < 0.461.

[0014] Furthermore, the two sides of the first magnetic tooth and the two sides of the second magnetic tooth are parallel;

[0015] The width of the first magnetic tooth is W1, and the width of the second magnetic tooth is W2. The relationship between W1 and W2 is 0.6 < W2 / W1 < 0.8.

[0016] Furthermore, the thickness of the first magnetic yoke is non-uniform, while the thickness of the second magnetic yoke is uniform.

[0017] The minimum thickness of the first magnetic yoke is Y11, the maximum thickness of the first magnetic yoke is Y12, and the thickness of the second magnetic yoke is Y2, satisfying 1≤(Y12+Y2) / Y11≤1.6.

[0018] Furthermore, the total cross-sectional area of ​​the heat dissipation channel is defined as Ss, in mm. 2 Ss satisfies: 20.3%×π×(R11) 2 -R2 2 )≤Ss≤28.2%×π×(R11 2 -R2 2 ).

[0019] Furthermore, the outer side of the first conductor placement slot is an arc with a radius of Rs1, and the arc is tangent to the two sides of the first magnetic tooth;

[0020] The first conductor is placed in the groove with an opening to form a rectangular groove, the width of which is bs1 and the height is hs1;

[0021] The rectangular groove connects with the side of the first magnetic tooth to form a groove shoulder, and the connection is rounded. The height of the groove shoulder is hs2.

[0022] The rectangular groove has a width bs1 and a height hs1, and the groove shoulder height hs2 satisfies hs2≤hs1≤bs1≤3×hs1.

[0023] Furthermore, the inner radius of the stator core is defined as R12, and the thickness of the magnetic bridge is h, satisfying: 0.5×(R12-R2)≤h<R12-R2.

[0024] Furthermore, the outer and inner sides of the second conductor placement groove are both arcs, with arc radii of Rr1 and Rr2 respectively;

[0025] The arcs on the outer and inner sides of the second conductor placement slot are tangent to the two sides of the second magnetic tooth;

[0026] The two arc radii on the outer and inner sides of the second conductor placement slot satisfy the following relationship with the outer arc radius of the first conductor placement slot: Rr2 < Rr1 < Rs1.

[0027] The present invention also provides a scroll compressor, including the aforementioned induction motor.

[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0029] 1. First, in this invention, the ratio of the number of second conductor placement slots Q2 to the number of first conductor placement slots Q1 is Kq, which satisfies 1.1 < Kq = Q2 / Q1 < 1.3, and the difference ΔQ between the number of first conductor placement slots Q1 and the number of second conductor placement slots Q2 satisfies ΔQ = Q2 - Q1 = 2 × k, where k takes the value of 2, 3 or 4;

[0030] Secondly, the following conditions must be met: the ratio of the number of second conductor placement slots Q2 to the number of first conductor placement slots Q1 is Kq, the ratio of the cross-sectional area of ​​the second conductor placement slot to the cross-sectional area of ​​the first conductor placement slot is Ks=S2 / S1, the conductor filling rate of the first conductor placement slot is Kf, and the copper material occupancy rate of the round enameled wire is Kd. This ensures that the magnetic circuit distribution is uniform, stray losses and resistance losses are reduced, efficiency is increased, and costs are reduced.

[0031] 2. By limiting:

[0032] (1) The maximum outer radius of the stator core R11 and the outer radius of the rotor core R2 satisfy 0.442 < R2 / R11 < 0.461;

[0033] (2) The width W1 of the first magnetic tooth and the width W2 of the second magnetic tooth satisfy 0.6 < W2 / W1 < 0.8;

[0035] It can ensure a reasonable distribution of air gap magnetic flux density, maintain the values ​​of tooth magnetic flux density and yoke magnetic flux density within a reasonable range, make full use of ferromagnetic materials, and rationally arrange the space for the first conductor placement slot.

[0036] 3. By ensuring that the total cross-sectional area Ss of the heat dissipation channel satisfies 20.3%×π×(R11) 2 -R2 2 )≤Ss≤28.2%×π×(R11 2 -R2 2 Without affecting the magnetic circuit, it can accelerate motor heat dissipation, reduce motor temperature rise, reduce resistance loss, thereby further increasing motor efficiency and reducing motor weight.

[0037] 4. By limiting the shape and size of the first conductor placement slot and the second conductor placement slot, conductive and magnetic materials can be rationally allocated to further reduce the weight and cost of the motor. Attached Figure Description

[0068]

[0069] It should be noted that "prior art" as used below refers to technology that does not meet any one or more of the limitations in the table above.

[0070] Taking a compressor with a rated voltage of 380V, a frequency of 50Hz, a refrigerant of R410A, and a displacement of 145CC as an example, the cost comparison chart of electromagnetic materials between the induction motor of this invention and existing technologies, under the condition of meeting the compressor load requirements, is as follows. Figure 8 As shown.

[0071] from Figure 8 As can be seen, with reasonable constraints, the cost of electromagnetic materials is reduced by 20.55% compared to existing technologies when using the induction motor of this invention. This proves that the power density can be increased and the cost can be significantly reduced when using this invention.

[0072] The curves showing the changes in motor efficiency and motor speed under different output powers are as follows: Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown.

[0073] Depend on Figure 9 It can be seen that the motor maintains high efficiency over a wide range of output power. From Figure 10 It can be seen that the motor has a high speed and a stiff speed characteristic under a wide range of output power. From the output power range of 1.56kW to 13.5kW, the speed only decreases by 4%.

[0074] In summary, by Figures 8-10 It can be seen that by adopting the implementation method of the present invention, while significantly reducing costs, high efficiency is maintained over a wide operating range.

[0075] The present invention also proposes a scroll compressor employing the induction motor 1 described above. The induction motor 1 and other structures and operations of the scroll compressor are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
