Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of motor rotor technology, and more particularly to an energy-saving rotor for a permanent magnet motor. Background Technology

[0002] Permanent magnet motors, a common type of motor, generate a magnetic field using permanent magnets made of rare earth or other materials. This magnetic field interacts with the relative motion between the rotor and stator to produce electromagnetic force, thus achieving efficient energy conversion. Compared to traditional excitation motors, permanent magnet motors have higher efficiency and power density, but there is still room for improvement in energy consumption due to the rotor structure design.

[0003] Existing permanent magnet motor rotors mostly use integral iron core stacking, resulting in significant eddy current losses and insufficient assembly stability of the permanent magnets, making them prone to circumferential or axial movement. The heat dissipation structure design is simplistic, and heat accumulation can easily lead to demagnetization of the permanent magnets. Furthermore, protection under high-speed conditions is inadequate, and magnetic leakage is a prominent issue, thus limiting the motor's energy efficiency and service life.

[0004] The overall iron core has high axial eddy current loss and large iron loss; the reliability of the permanent magnet and the iron core is poor, and the serious magnetic leakage leads to low utilization rate; the heat dissipation efficiency is low, and the permanent magnet is prone to demagnetization due to high temperature; the permanent magnet is prone to fly out when rotating at high speed, and the protection and insulation performance need to be improved, making it difficult to balance energy saving and stability.

[0011] Preferably, the outer diameter of the insulating pad is smaller than the outer diameter of the silicon steel sheet, and the outer circumference of the insulating pad is uniformly provided with a plurality of second V-shaped grooves, the included angle of the second V-shaped grooves is 60° and the depth is 20mm, and the inner walls of the second V-shaped grooves are provided with a plurality of second anti-slip protrusions with a height of 1mm on both sides.

[0012] Preferably, the magnetic shielding block is embedded in the corresponding second V-shaped groove by an interference fit. Several second anti-slip grooves with a depth of 1.1mm are opened on both sides of the magnetic shielding block, and the second anti-slip grooves on it engage with the corresponding second anti-slip protrusions.

[0013] Preferably, the protective component includes an inner buffer layer and an outer protective sleeve. The inner buffer layer is made of silicone rubber elastic insulating material with a thickness of 0.8 mm and is wrapped around the outer surface of the rotor core. The outer protective sleeve is made of T700 carbon fiber reinforced composite material with a thickness of 2 mm and is wrapped around the outer side of the inner buffer layer.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0019] Example: This example provides an energy-saving rotor for a permanent magnet motor. See [link to example]. Figures 1 to 8 Specifically, it includes a rotor shaft 100, on the outer surface of which a rotor core 200 is fitted. The outer diameter of the rotor core 200 is 120mm and its length is 150mm. The rotor core 200 adopts a segmented stacked structure, consisting of three core units 201 arranged sequentially along the axial direction of the rotor shaft 100. This effectively reduces axial eddy current losses and improves efficiency. An insulating gasket 202 is provided between adjacent core units 201. The insulating gasket 202 is made of high-temperature resistant epoxy resin material with a thickness of 0.2mm. The core unit 201 is made of several silicon steel sheets 203 stacked together. The thickness of the silicon steel sheets 203 is 0.35mm. The surface of the silicon steel sheets 203 is provided with an insulating coating with a thickness of 0.03mm, which can suppress inter-sheet eddy currents and reduce iron loss. The outer surface of the rotor core 200 is inlaid with several uniformly distributed permanent magnets 300. The permanent magnets 300 have a fan-shaped structure with a central angle of 40° and a thickness of 20mm. The surface is coated with a 0.05mm thick epoxy resin insulating protective layer. Magnetic isolation blocks 301 are set between adjacent permanent magnets 300 to reduce magnetic leakage and improve the utilization rate of permanent magnets 300. Magnetic isolation blocks 301 are made of 1Cr18Ni9Ti non-magnetic stainless steel with a thickness of 3mm. The outer surface of the rotor core 200 is fitted with protective components. The protective components include an inner buffer layer 400 and an outer protective sleeve 401. The inner buffer layer 400 is made of silicone rubber elastic insulating material with a thickness of 0.8 mm. It is wrapped around the outer surface of the rotor core 200 to buffer the thermal and mechanical stress between the permanent magnet 300 and the outer protective sleeve 401 when the rotor rotates at high speed, and to increase insulation. The outer protective sleeve 401 is made of T700 carbon fiber reinforced composite material with a thickness of 2 mm. It is wrapped around the outer side of the inner buffer layer 400 and is processed by winding molding process. It provides the high-strength constraint required for high-speed rotation, prevents the permanent magnet 300 from flying out, and protects the internal structure. A heat dissipation component is provided between the rotor shaft 100 and the rotor core 200.

[0020] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the outer circumference of the silicon steel sheet 203 is uniformly provided with a number of first V-shaped grooves 204. The included angle of the first V-shaped grooves 204 is 60° and the depth is 25mm. The inner walls of the first V-shaped grooves 204 are provided with a number of first anti-slip protrusions 205 with a height of 1mm on both sides. The permanent magnet 300 is embedded in the corresponding first V-shaped groove 204 by an interference fit. Several first anti-slip grooves 302 with a depth of 1.1mm are opened on both sides of the permanent magnet 300, and the first anti-slip grooves 302 on them engage with the corresponding first anti-slip protrusions 205 to prevent the permanent magnet 300 from moving circumferentially and axially. The outer diameter of the insulating pad 202 is smaller than the outer diameter of the silicon steel sheet 203. The outer circumference of the insulating pad 202 is uniformly provided with a number of second V-shaped grooves 602. The included angle of the second V-shaped grooves 602 is 60° and the depth is 20mm. The inner walls of the second V-shaped grooves 602 are provided with a number of second anti-slip protrusions 603 with a height of 1mm on both sides. The magnetic shielding block 301 is embedded in the corresponding second V-shaped groove 602 by an interference fit. Several second anti-slip grooves 303 with a depth of 1.1mm are opened on both sides of the magnetic shielding block 301, and the second anti-slip grooves 303 on it engage with the corresponding second anti-slip protrusions 603 to fix the magnetic shielding block 301.

[0021] It should be noted that: such as Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the heat dissipation assembly includes a trapezoidal heat dissipation channel 500 and a trapezoidal connecting hole 600. The rotor shaft 100 is made of 40Cr alloy material, and the surface is heat treated to achieve a hardness of HRC28-32. An axial heat dissipation hole 101 is provided inside the rotor shaft 100, and a number of radial heat dissipation holes 102 are provided on the outer surface of the rotor shaft 100 in a continuous manner with the axial heat dissipation hole 101. The axial heat dissipation hole 101 and the radial heat dissipation hole 102 constitute a part of the heat dissipation, which helps to introduce the cooling medium and enhance the heat dissipation inside the rotor. The silicon steel sheet 203 has several trapezoidal heat dissipation channels 500 evenly distributed around its circumference. Each trapezoidal heat dissipation channel 500 has a heat dissipation connection hole 501 that communicates with the radial heat dissipation hole 102. Each trapezoidal heat dissipation channel 500 has heat dissipation fine holes 502 that are distributed through the outer edge of the silicon steel sheet 203. Several first heat dissipation flow channels 503 that correspond one-to-one with the heat dissipation fine holes 502 are opened on both sides of the silicon steel sheet 203. The insulating pad 202 has several trapezoidal connecting holes 600 evenly distributed around its circumference, which are distributed through the trapezoidal heat dissipation channel 500. The two sides of the insulating pad 202 have several second heat dissipation channels 601 that correspond one-to-one with the first heat dissipation channel 503. This significantly enhances the heat dissipation capacity inside the rotor and reduces the working temperature of the permanent magnet 300 and the rotor core 200, which is crucial for energy saving and preventing demagnetization.

[0022] The assembly process in this embodiment is as follows: First, several silicon steel sheets 203 are stacked and formed to form a single iron core unit 201. Then, insulating pads 202 are placed between adjacent iron core units 201 and stacked sequentially along the rotor shaft 100 axis to form a complete rotor iron core 200. Then, the rotor iron core 200 is assembled and fixed to the rotor shaft 100. Next, the permanent magnet 300 is embedded into the first V-shaped groove 204 of the silicon steel sheet 203 by an interference fit, ensuring that the first anti-slip groove 302 of the permanent magnet 300 is precisely engaged with the first anti-slip protrusion 205 on the inner wall of the first V-shaped groove 204. Subsequently, a magnetic isolation block 301 is installed between adjacent permanent magnets 300. The magnetic isolation block 301 is embedded into the second V-shaped groove 602 of the insulating pad 202 in an interference fit manner, so that the second anti-slip groove 303 of the magnetic isolation block 301 is tightly engaged with the second anti-slip protrusion 603 on the inner wall of the second V-shaped groove 602. Next, the inner buffer layer 400 is evenly wrapped around the outer surface of the rotor core 200. Then, the outer protective sleeve 401 is processed by winding molding and wrapped around the outer side of the inner buffer layer 400. Finally, the assembly status of each component is fully inspected to confirm that all components are assembled in place and fit reliably, thus completing the overall assembly.

Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
