[0015] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of the present invention easier to understand, the present invention will now be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the relevant components of the present invention.

[0016] According to the technical solution of the present invention, without changing the essential spirit of the present invention, those skilled in the art may propose a variety of interchangeable structural methods and implementation methods. Therefore, the following specific embodiments and drawings are merely illustrative of the technical solution of the present invention and should not be regarded as the entire present invention or as a limitation or restriction of the technical solution of the present invention.

[0017] The technical solution of the present utility model is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0018] like Figure 1 The figure shows an example of a rotor assembly in the prior art. Simply put, a rotor shaft 1 is provided with four cores, namely, a first N-pole core 2, a first S-pole core 3, a second N-pole core 4, and a second S-pole core 5. A magnetic barrier 7 is provided between the first S-pole core 3 and the second N-pole core 4, located in the middle. A first magnetic steel 6 is provided between the first N-pole core 2 and the first S-pole core 3. A second magnetic steel 8 is provided between the second N-pole core 4 and the second S-pole core 5.

[0019] The present invention is based on the rotor assembly in the prior art and reconfigures the rotor core, as shown in the following embodiments:

[0020] Example 1, as Figure 2As shown, a rotor assembly of a high-material utilization stepper motor includes a rotating shaft 1, on which three rotor cores are fixed in sequence, and the magnetic poles of the rotor core in the middle are opposite to the magnetic poles of the rotor cores on both sides.

[0021] Specifically, the three rotor cores are a first N-pole core 2, a first S-pole core 3, and a second N-pole core 4. These are fixed sequentially to the rotating shaft 1. In practice, a keyway is typically provided in the central fixing hole of each core, and a pin keyway is provided in the rotating shaft 1, with the two being secured together using a pin key.

[0022] The first S-pole core 3, located in the middle, has opposite magnetic poles to the first N-pole core 2 and the second N-pole core 4. The polarity of the first S-pole core 3 is S, while the polarities of the first N-pole core 2 and the second N-pole core 4 are both N. According to the magnetic principle that like poles repel and opposite poles attract, the first S-pole core 3 is attracted to the first N-pole core 2 and the second N-pole core 4.

[0023] In order to isolate the iron cores with different magnetic properties on the rotating shaft 1 , a first magnetic steel 6 is provided between the first N-pole iron core 2 and the first S-pole iron core 3 , and a second magnetic steel 8 is provided between the first S-pole iron core 3 and the second N-pole iron core 4 .

[0024] As a preferred solution, the thickness of the first S-pole core 3 is not less than the thickness of the first N-pole core 2. When the thickness of the first S-pole core 3 is equal to the thickness of the first N-pole core 2, the height of the motor can be minimized. When the thickness of the first S-pole core 3 is equal to the thickness of two first N-pole cores 2, the height of the motor can be achieved as it would with two S-pole cores.

[0025] Example 2, a stepper motor, wherein the rotor assembly of the stepper motor adopts the rotor assembly of the stepper motor with high material utilization rate.

[0026] When this improved rotor assembly is used in a stepper motor, the rotor structure is changed from the conventional two-segment, four-piece iron core with a magnetic separator in the middle to a two-segment, three-piece iron core without a magnetic separator in the middle. This reduces the motor's axial dimensions and the stator core height, resulting in a shorter motor body. This reduces material usage while achieving the same output torque performance, lowering product material costs and reducing customer installation space.

[0027] Therefore, the present invention improves the rotor structure from a four-piece rotor core to a two-section rotor core by improving the rotor manufacturing efficiency; the rotor structure is changed from a magnetic isolation plate to a non-magnetic isolation plate, reducing the axial length of the rotor, and at the same time the manufacturing efficiency of the rotor without a magnetic isolation plate is also improved; the magnetic leakage of the rotor with a magnetic isolation plate between the two sections of the core will be greater than the magnetic leakage of the rotor without a magnetic isolation plate between the two sections, and under the same rotor core thickness, the performance of the rotor without a magnetic isolation plate is better; in addition, by removing the magnetic isolation plate from the rotor, the rotor core utilization rate is higher, and the motor torque of the same height can be made greater.
