Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of motor technology, and specifically to a radial flux permanent magnet motor. Background Technology
[0002] Permanent magnet motors possess advantages such as easily adjustable air gap magnetic field, small magnetic adjustment amount, high operating efficiency, and high torque density, making them highly valuable for research. Torque density and torque ripple are two crucial indicators in motor design. Cogging torque caused by stator slotting is a significant source of torque ripple, making it essential to improve torque density and reduce torque ripple.
[0003] Permanent magnet motors can be classified into radial, axial, and transverse flux permanent magnet motors according to their magnetic flux path. Among them, axial flux permanent magnet motors have the characteristics of high power density and short axial length, making them suitable for low-speed, high-torque applications. In specific applications of permanent magnet motors, their speed is inversely proportional to the number of poles. At a fixed frequency, only increasing the number of poles can achieve a lower speed, but this also increases the motor's size. Therefore, existing axial and radial flux permanent magnet motors have the following technical problems:
[0004] 1. The existing axial flux motor rotor has low structural strength, resulting in a high failure rate;
[0005] 2. The lever arm length of the motor's magnetic force was not maximized;
[0006] 3. The length of the motor's magnetic circuit is too long, which affects the motor's efficiency;
[0007] 4. The energy conversion efficiency of motors is relatively low; currently, the energy conversion efficiency of motors in China is between 70% and 90%.
[0008] 5. The energy-to-mass ratio of the motor is 1-3 KW / kg, therefore it cannot meet the requirements for use in fields with mass restrictions, especially in the aerospace field;
[0009] 6. Currently available motors that can meet energy requirements are all too large, making installation inconvenient and preventing their application in fields with size or space constraints.
[0010] In view of the above problems, the designer, based on years of practical experience and professional knowledge in engineering applications of such products, actively researched and innovated in order to create a radial flux permanent magnet motor that is more practical.
