Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of high-speed motor design technology, and in particular to a cooling structure for a high-speed motor unit with integrated compression and expansion. Background Technology

[0002] High-speed motors are widely used in industrial drives, transportation, and household appliances. While they can achieve high power output when the rotor rotates at high speeds, the high operating frequency and heavy load also increase internal copper losses, iron losses, and mechanical losses, resulting in a significant amount of heat generation. If the motor's cooling structure is inadequate or heat dissipation is insufficient, heat can easily accumulate inside the motor, leading to excessively high local temperatures. This can cause problems such as aging and failure of the winding insulation, demagnetization of permanent magnets, affecting motor performance and lifespan, and in severe cases, even causing motor damage.

[0003] The integrated compression-expansion high-speed generator set is a new type of generator set in which the compressor and turbine are coaxially arranged on both sides of the high-speed motor rotor. It has advantages such as compact structure, high energy density, and low vibration and noise, and is an important technical route in the design and research of supercritical carbon dioxide generator sets. In the integrated compression-expansion high-speed generator set, the temperature of the working fluid flowing through the turbine generally exceeds 400°C, which further worsens the heat dissipation conditions of the high-speed motor. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides a cooling structure for a high-speed motor unit with integrated compression and expansion, comprising: The unit adopts a cooling system combining water cooling and forced air cooling. Water cooling is used to cool the motor stator, while forced air cooling is mainly used to cool the motor rotor and the bearings on both sides.

[0006] In some embodiments, the cooling water circuit has two sets of interfaces, one for water inlet and one for water outlet, and the cooling water channel adopts a spiral design and is located in the housing outside the motor stator.

[0008] In some embodiments, the four sets of intake and exhaust channels all adopt a pre-embedded full-circumferential air distribution ring design. The connecting passage from the air distribution ring to the motor cavity / bearing cavity is circumferentially distributed, thereby improving the uniformity of air intake in the motor cavity and the circumferential uniformity of the temperature field of each component.

[0009] In some embodiments, the cooling air paths of the motor stator and rotor and the bearings on both sides are designed in parallel, so that the motor stator and rotor and the magnetic bearings at both ends are cooled separately.

[0010] In some embodiments, the cooling water channel is provided around the housing outside the motor stator; Cooling water flows in from the cooling water inlet and flows out from the cooling water outlet.

[0011] In some embodiments, the air inlet of the housing air distribution ring is divided into multiple equal-diameter interfaces, and the air outlet has a circumferentially distributed structure.

[0012] In some embodiments, the air inlet of the housing air distribution ring is divided into three equal-diameter interfaces, and the air outlet has ten equal-diameter interfaces evenly distributed circumferentially.

[0013] In some embodiments, the outlet of the air distribution ring of the pressure end bearing housing has a circumferentially distributed structure.

[0014] In some embodiments, the air outlet of the pressure end bearing housing air inlet distribution ring has sixteen equal-diameter interfaces that are evenly distributed circumferentially.

The accompanying drawings are for reference and illustration only and are not intended to limit the embodiments of this application.

[0020] In the embodiments described in this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise stated and limited, the term "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can be an electrical connection, or a connection between two internal components. It can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above term according to the specific circumstances.

[0021] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and "third" used in the embodiments of this application are merely used to distinguish similar objects and do not represent a specific ordering of objects. It is understood that "first," "second," and "third" can be interchanged in a specific order or sequence where permitted. It should be understood that the objects distinguished by "first," "second," and "third" can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein.

[0022] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution: (1) The unit adopts a cooling system that combines water cooling and forced air cooling. Water cooling is used for cooling the motor stator, while forced air cooling is mainly used for cooling the motor rotor and the bearings on both sides.

[0023] (2) The cooling water circuit has two sets of interfaces for water inlet and water outlet. The cooling water channel adopts a spiral design and is located in the housing outside the motor stator.

[0024] (3) Four sets of cooling air ducts are reserved, respectively located at the turbine end bearing housing, the near-turbine side of the housing, the near-pressure side of the housing, and the pressure end bearing housing component / position. A two-inlet and two-outlet design is adopted, and the cooling of the whole machine can be adjusted by adjusting the air volume of each interface. The four sets of air inlet and outlet ducts of the unit adopt a pre-embedded full-circumferential air distribution ring design. The connecting passage from the air distribution ring to the motor cavity / bearing cavity is circumferentially evenly distributed, thereby making the air intake of the motor cavity more uniform and improving the circumferential uniformity of the temperature field of each component. In addition, the cooling air ducts of the motor stator and rotor and the bearings on both sides are designed in parallel, and the motor stator and rotor and the magnetic bearings at both ends are cooled separately. Compared with the series air duct cooling, the hot air after cooling the motor stator and rotor can minimize the impact on the cooling of the bearings.

[0025] The main structural composition diagram of the integrated compression and expansion high-speed motor unit of the present invention is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the main components include a vortex end bearing housing cover plate (1), a vortex end bearing housing (2), a housing (3), a water flow channel cover plate (4), a pressure end bearing housing (5), a pressure end bearing housing cover plate (6), a pressure end protection bearing (7), a thrust magnetic bearing (8), a pressure end radial magnetic bearing (9), a motor stator (10), a motor rotor (11), a motor rotor sheath (12), a vortex end radial magnetic bearing (13), a rotating shaft (14), and a vortex end protection bearing (15). The rotor portion of the rotating shaft (14) houses the pressure end protection bearing (7), the motor rotor (11), the motor rotor sheath (12), the thrust magnetic bearing (8), the pressure end radial magnetic bearing (9), and the vortex end radial magnetic bearing (13), as well as the vortex end protection bearing (15). Furthermore, splines are reserved at both ends of the rotating shaft (14) as interfaces between the compressor and the turbine.

[0026] The cooling interface diagram of the integrated compression and expansion high-speed motor unit of the present invention is shown below. Figure 2 As shown, there are a total of six sets of interfaces. There are four sets of cooling air interfaces: the turbine end bearing housing cooling air interface (16), the housing near-turbine side cooling air interface (17), the housing near-pressure side cooling air interface (20), and the pressure end bearing housing cooling air interface (21). Among them, the turbine end bearing housing cooling air interface (16) and the pressure end bearing housing cooling air interface (21) are each equipped with one flange interface, and the housing near-turbine side cooling air interface (17) and the housing near-pressure side cooling air interface (20) are each equipped with three flange interfaces. There are two sets of cooling water interfaces: the cooling water outlet interface (18) and the cooling water inlet interface (19). The cooling water interfaces can be connected by threads or flanges.

[0027] A schematic diagram of the cooling gas flow inside the integrated compression and expansion high-speed motor unit of the present invention is shown below. Figure 3As shown. Cooling gas flows into the unit from the near-vortex side cooling gas inlet (17) of the casing and the pressure end bearing housing cooling gas inlet (21), which are the near-vortex side inlet cooling gas (22) of the casing and the pressure end bearing housing inlet cooling gas (23); the cooling gas in the unit cavity is based on Figure 3 The arrows indicate the directions of sequential splitting and merging, and cooling of each component, forming cooling gas including the vortex end radial magnetic bearing cooling gas (24), motor rotor cooling gas (25), pressure end radial magnetic bearing cooling gas (26), and thrust magnetic bearing cooling gas (27); finally, the cooling gas flows out of the unit from the vortex end bearing housing cooling gas interface (16) and the casing near-pressure side cooling gas interface (20), namely the vortex end bearing housing outlet cooling gas (28) and the casing near-pressure side outlet cooling gas (29).

[0028] The cooling water flow path diagram of the integrated compression and expansion high-speed motor unit of the present invention is shown below. Figure 4 As shown. The cooling water channel adopts a spiral design, and in the example, it rotates three and a half times. Cooling water flows in from the cooling water inlet (31) and flows out from the cooling water outlet (30).

[0029] The air intake and distribution circulation channel diagram of the integrated compression and expansion high-speed motor unit of the present invention is shown below. Figure 5 As shown. Cooling gas enters the air distribution ring from the air inlet (32) of the housing air distribution ring, flows out of the air distribution ring from the air outlet (33) of the housing air distribution ring, and enters the motor cavity. Since the air flow rate in the housing air distribution ring is usually large, the air inlet (32) of the housing air distribution ring is divided into three equal-diameter ports. In order to enhance the uniformity of air intake in the motor cavity, the air outlet (33) of the housing air distribution ring has a circumferentially distributed structure, and there are ten equal-diameter ports in this example.

[0030] The air inlet and distribution circulation channel diagram of the pressure end bearing housing of the integrated compression and expansion high-speed motor unit of the present invention is shown below. Figure 6 As shown. Cooling gas enters the distribution ring from the air inlet (34) of the air inlet distribution ring of the pressure end bearing housing, and flows out of the distribution ring from the air outlet (35) of the air inlet distribution ring of the pressure end bearing housing and enters the pressure end bearing cavity. In order to enhance the uniformity of air intake in the pressure end bearing cavity, the air outlet (35) of the air inlet distribution ring of the pressure end bearing housing has a circumferentially uniform structure, and there are a total of sixteen equal diameter interfaces in this example.
