Description
Technical Field

Direct-drive hub motors, by eliminating the intermediate mechanical transmission system, are widely used in automotive distributed drive systems. In external rotor permanent magnet synchronous motors, the permanent magnets are typically placed on the external rotor; the permanent magnets are attached to the entire inner circle of the external rotor, resulting in a large amount of permanent magnets and back EMF even-order harmonic problems caused by the alternating pole permanent magnet rotor.

[0005] Furthermore, the winding direction and sequence of the three-phase windings on each stator module are different.
[0006] Furthermore, the small tooth span between each stator module is By changing the winding sequence and direction of the windings on the stator module, the even harmonics of the back EMF in the armature windings that are in phase on two adjacent stator modules are ensured to cancel each other.
[0007] Furthermore, the small teeth at the ends of the stator modules ensure physical isolation between the modules.

Detailed Implementation
[0014] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0015] like Figure 1 As shown, a conventional motor includes an alternating pole permanent magnet rotor 1, alternating pole permanent magnets 2 on the rotor, an armature winding 4, a stator module 5, and an air gap 3 between the stator and the rotor.
[0016] Example 1 like Figure 2 As shown, this invention discloses a high-performance modular permanent magnet hub motor, comprising several stator modules 8 and alternating pole permanent magnet rotors. The alternating pole permanent magnet rotor has the same rotor structure as a traditional modular alternating pole permanent magnet motor; it consists of alternating permanent magnets 7 and salient pole iron cores 6; all permanent magnets are magnetized in the same direction, i.e., pointing towards the outside of the rotor or the stator side. Each stator module 8 consists of a stator yoke and stator teeth, with several phase armature windings 9 wound on the stator teeth; small teeth at the ends of every two stator modules form a fault-tolerant tooth 10. An independent air gap 11 is formed between the alternating pole permanent magnet rotor and the stator modules. The winding direction and sequence of the three-phase windings on each stator module are different. The spacing between each stator module unit is... , The pole pitch of the motor is N; the motor structure can adopt N S =2P±1 unit motor pole slot matching, N S Here, P represents the number of slots in the unit motor and P represents the number of pole pairs in the unit motor. This motor structure can solve the problem of even-order harmonics of back EMF in traditional modular alternating pole motors, effectively eliminating even-order harmonics of back EMF and effectively suppressing torque ripple. The fault-tolerant teeth 10 enable physical isolation between the various stator modules, improving the reliability of motor operation; the fault-tolerant teeth reduce the effective air gap of the motor, which can increase the torque density of the motor.
[0017] In this embodiment, the winding connection method of the motor is exactly the same as that of a traditional motor. The following describes the connection method in conjunction with... Figure 3 Detailed explanation: On stator module 8, three teeth are wound with A+, B+, and C+ windings in a counter-clockwise direction; on stator module 12, three teeth are wound with C-, B-, and A- windings in a counter-clockwise direction; the winding method for the remaining four stator modules (13, 14, 15, and 16) is as follows. Figure 2 The document provides specific markings, and the method for winding the motor coils is entirely based on the motor's back EMF star diagram.
[0018] Figure 4A structural diagram of the auxiliary isolation tooth (i.e., fault-tolerant tooth 10) is given. It is placed between adjacent stator modules, and the span of the auxiliary isolation tooth is... The electromagnetic performance of the motor can be optimized by optimizing the width of the auxiliary isolation teeth (17). In order to ensure that the slot areas on both sides of the large teeth on the stator module are equal, the width of the auxiliary isolation teeth cannot exceed [the specified value]. The polar distance width.
[0019] Example 2 As an alternative to Example 1, Figure 5 The following diagrams are provided for the cross-sectional view and winding connection of the modular permanent magnet hub motor with auxiliary isolation teeth without tooth tips in Embodiment 2. The armature winding connection method on the stator module teeth and the alternating pole permanent magnet rotor in Embodiment 2 are the same as in Embodiment 1. The difference lies in the small teeth at the end of the stator module, which have a tooth tip-less structure. This facilitates winding in the slots at the end of the stator module, making machine winding easier and improving production efficiency. Because the structure of Embodiment 2 is advantageous for machine winding of the motor, it is suitable for mass production. In this embodiment, the width of the auxiliary teeth is equal to... The polar distance width.
[0020] Figure 6 The output electromagnetic torque waveforms of two schemes, a traditional alternating pole motor and Example 1, are shown in the diagram. Figure 5 It can be seen that the average electromagnetic torque of the traditional motor is 6.02 Nm, while the average torque of the motor with auxiliary teeth is 6.51 Nm, representing an increase of 8.14% in average electromagnetic torque. The motor structure proposed in this invention can increase the output electromagnetic torque, which is beneficial for improving the motor's torque and power density.
[0021] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept of the present invention and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. For example, the permanent magnets placed on the alternating pole rotor can have various structures (such as the Halbach structure with magnetic focusing effect). The present invention is illustrated using a three-phase motor as an example. The present invention patent can be extended to modular stator permanent magnet motors with M-phase pole slots. Any modifications made to the technical solution based on the technical concept proposed in the present invention fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
